The CHRIST
of Christmas

CURRENT PROGRAM: December 20, 2025

CURRENT PROGRAM: December 20, 2025

GUEST: GRANT CASTLEBERRY, pastor, Capital Community Church (Raleigh, NC)

God created the universe and every living thing. There is no being greater than God and thus He is sovereign over all, which definitionally means “possessing supreme or ultimate power.”

We see God’s sovereignty, His rule, His control all throughout Scripture—from the parting of the Red Sea to prophecy-fulfilling events of Christ’s life, death, and resurrection to nations rising and falling.

We marvel and praise God for His sovereignty when He ordains events that save or bless. But we question God’s sovereignty when the storms and sin and chaos of life causes suffering and pain.

For example, how do we reconcile God’s sovereignty…

  • In devastating hurricanes like Helene and Milton?
  • When we learn a trusted preacher like Steven Lawson has not been above reproach?
  • When a godless civil leader may rise to power?

Grant Castleberry is the pastor of Capital Community Church in Raleigh, NC and the Bible teacher of Unashamed Truth. He joins us this weekend to explain God’s sovereignty in light of these challenging current events.

Grant will also tell us about a new Christmas resource that he and his wife designed to be used by families in the lead-up to Christmas titled Manger in Danger.

Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people.  Proverbs 14:34 Back in August, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo stated, ”We’re not going to make America great again. It was never that great.” This is the sentiment of many on the political left, who view America as historically and structurally [...]
