Welcome to the Voodchurch podcast.

Today Pastor Rich Wilkerson Jr. joins us live from the Holy Land

for a special Christmas presentation in this message,

a reason to celebrate.

The birth of Jesus has always been a radical reminder

that in the midst of the wilderness, God fulfills His promise.

Wherever you may find yourself today, we have this hope.

When we couldn't get to God, He came to us.

For this good news, we have a reason to celebrate.

As we conclude 2022, we're taking time to rest and reflect on the past year.

Tune into Voodchurch online Sunday January 1st for a year in review.

Now let's lean into the message together.

Well, hey Mary Christmas Vood, we are so excited that you are tuning in today for church online.

My name is Rich and this is my wife Don Sheree.

And with me up on this stage today, we have our team.

And if you can't tell, we're not in Miami on this Christmas,

but this is a special Christmas because we are here in the Holy Land.

We are in Israel. How are we doing guys? We feeling good?

We've so enjoyed being able to walk together where Jesus walked

and being reminded every step of the gift that we have in the presence of God.

And today on Christmas, we celebrate the gift of Jesus.
