Was he was completely surprised to find that the Messiah King would be born in his home?\n\nGod's Word is true from the beginning to the end! May it guide us this Advent and Christmas season.\n\nRemember that you can always listen to all the past broadcasts from this entire series in our library at SermonAudio.com/Whitcomb, where you’ll find more than 1,500 sermons and messages that you can access and learn from at any time.\n\nThen to obtain the latest news from our ministry, join us on Facebook at Facebook.com/WhitcombMinistries.\n\nFor more information and resources visit our website at WhitcombMinistries.org."}
