Faith is not meant to surge only in January and fade by March. Scripture calls believers to endurance faith that remains steady through every season of the year.

Many enter a new year carrying disappointment from the previous one. Prayers unanswered, doors closed, and expectations unmet can weaken faith if left unaddressed. Yet Scripture shows that disappointment does not disqualify faith it refines it.

Modern life pressures people to trust data, trends, and visible outcomes. Faith, however, calls believers to trust God beyond what can be measured or predicted. As 2026 unfolds, the challenge is not simply believing in God, but believing God.

As a new year begins, uncertainty often stands at the door. Many enter 2026 carrying unanswered prayers, financial pressure, health concerns, or questions about purpose. Scripture never promises clarity about the future, but it consistently promises the faithfulness of God within it.

Long before December 25th was associated with the birth of Jesus Christ, the date was widely recognized in the ancient world as a celebration connected to pagan sun worship. This historical reality raises serious biblical concerns, especially when Scripture repeatedly warns God’s people not to adopt or repurpose pagan practices in worship. When December 25th is examined through a biblical lens, it becomes clear that its origins do not align with the worship God commands.

When the New Testament record is examined carefully, there is a striking absence of any command, example, or tradition among early Christians celebrating the birth of Jesus on December 25th or on any specific date at all. Scripture reveals that the earliest believers focused on the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of Christ, not on commemorating His birth through an annual festival. This silence is not accidental; it reflects the priorities and practices of the first-century church.

The biblical record shows that winter conditions in Judea made outdoor shepherding impractical and often impossible. This reality is significant when examining the timing of Jesus’ birth, because Scripture plainly states that shepherds were living in the fields and keeping watch over their flocks by night at the time of His birth. The conditions described in the nativity account do not align with what the Bible reveals about winter life in the land of Israel.
Continue reading WINTER MADE OUTDOOR SHEPHERDING IMPOSSIBLE (PT 23 OF JESUS CHRIST BIRTHDAY IS NOT DECEMBER 25TH)
In the Bible, winter is consistently portrayed as a season marked by danger, hardship, and limitation rather than celebration or large public gatherings. This understanding is essential when evaluating the timing of Jesus’ birth, because the conditions described in the nativity account do not reflect the realities Scripture associates with winter. The biblical portrayal of winter stands in direct contrast to the joyful, open, and active environment surrounding the birth of Christ.
Continue reading WINTER WAS a SEASON of DANGER, NOT CELELBRATION (PT 22 OF JESUS CHRIST BIRTHDAY IS NOT DECEBER 25TH)
When examining the biblical calendar, December already carried religious significance long before later traditions assigned it as the birthdate of Jesus. Scripture identifies this time of year with the Feast of Dedication, also known as Hanukkah, a winter festival commemorating the rededication of the Temple. This existing observance makes it unlikely that Jesus’ birth occurred in December, especially since the Bible consistently connects His arrival with themes and seasons associated with God’s appointed times rather than later-added traditions.

The timeline surrounding the death of King Herod provides another important biblical clue that challenges the idea that Jesus was born on December 25th. When the Gospel of Matthew is examined carefully, it becomes clear that the events connected to Jesus’ birth, the visit of the Magi, the flight into Egypt, and Herod’s death span a period of time that does not align with a late December birth. Scripture itself shows that Jesus was already a young child before Herod died, making a December birth highly unlikely.
