About this sermon

For more information, read Cold-Case Christianity: A Homicide Detective Investigates the Claims of the Gospels (http://amzn.to/2AW8bc5) Read: Enjoy Christmas, Even Though It’s Probably Not Jesus’ Birthday https://coldcasechristianity.com/writings/enjoy-christmas-tomorrow-even-though-its-probably-not-jesus-birthday/ Was Jesus really born in December? If not, why do we celebrate Christmas at that time? More importantly, if the December celebration has pagan roots, why celebrate it at all? Detective Jimmy Wallace (J. Warner’s son) tackles this important issue as part of his Incarnate Investigation Video Series.
