Randy Losee’s sermon emphasizes that God values family in all its forms—men as husbands and fathers, women as wives and mothers, children, and the elderly. He explores this theme through the Christmas narrative, highlighting how God intentionally involved each family role in Jesus’ birth and early life to demonstrate His design for human relationships.
Key Points:

- Mary & Elizabeth: God values women as wives/mothers, choosing Mary to bear Jesus and blessing Elizabeth with John in old age. [Luke 1:24-38, 57-58]
