Looking at the Gospel of Luke as well as the prophets of old, Charles Morris will seek to answer the question, “Why is Jesus the Son of David?” The stunning answer shows us that Christmas isn’t just something that happened unexpectedly— it was planned by God, foretold in the Old Testament, and fulfilled by Jesus.

Dickens’ A Christmas Carol
Saturday, December 12 from 3:00 – 5:00 pm
Charles Dickens was just 12 years old when he saw firsthand the devastating effects of child labor. He never forgot those images. In 1843 he wrote a pamphlet titled: “An Appeal to the People of England, on Behalf of the Poor Man’s Child.” It became the story of Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol.” Focus on the Family Radio Theatre brings to life the story of miserly Scrooge who in one momentous night is confronted by his own lack of compassion – and given the opportunity to change not only his life but others too! It’s a message that defines the spirit of the season of Christ’s birth, of His loving compassion!

Lesser Characters of Christmas
Saturday, December 18 from 5:00 – 6:00 pm
We know all about Mary, Joseph and the Baby Jesus. But what of the lesser characters of Christmas? There’s Elizabeth, the mother of John, and Elizabeth’s doubting husband, Zechariah. And what about Anna, the prophetess, and Simeon—both of whom were supernaturally appointed to meet the infant King at the temple? These less well-known names offer powerful life lessons. We’ll meet them up close in this documentary with provocative drama vignettes and interviews from Israel.
Unwrapping Christmas in the Old Testament
Sunday, December 19 from 4:00 – 5:00 pm
For most of us, our vision of Christmas is limited exclusively to the gospel accounts. But Christmas is actually unwrapped in the Old Testament! Dr. Charlie Dyer from The Land and the Book will do some great exploration with compelling guests in a journey that will take listeners to a fresh appreciation of the real story of Christmas.
