The Warrior Baby | Hebrews 2:14–15 | Born For a Purpose 

Why did God have to be born? Why the manger? Why flesh and blood?
In this powerful Christmas message, The Warrior Baby, we explore Hebrews 2:14–15 to uncover the deeper, theological reason behind Jesus’ birth. 

Message from Pastor Chris Kouba | Sunday December 14, 2025.

Christmas isn’t just a sweet story—it’s a war story. Jesus didn’t come merely to teach or inspire; He was born to destroy the works of the devil and set humanity free from the fear of death.

Using Scripture and vivid illustration, we walk through:
The Problem: An enemy we could never defeat on our own
The Solution: Jesus becoming fully human to fight our battle
The Result: Freedom from fear, slavery, sin, and death

Just as a champion must represent his people, Jesus had to be one of us to win for us. From the manger to the cross to the empty tomb, this message reveals how Jesus used death to defeat death and why His victory changes everything about how we live today.

If you’re struggling with fear, bondage, guilt, or feeling trapped—this message is for you. Jesus came to set captives free.
