In this moving Christmas Eve sermon, Rev. Chapin Garner explores the often-overlooked line in Luke’s nativity: “There was no room for them in the inn.” With tenderness and clarity, he unpacks the deeper meaning behind the absence of hospitality and how it foreshadows the life and ministry of Jesus—who was repeatedly rejected by the world he came to save.
Far from a sentimental retelling, this message invites listeners to reflect on where they’ve closed their hearts and how Christ still seeks to dwell not in buildings, but within us. Drawing on Ephesians 3:16–17, Chapin reminds us that we are all modern-day innkeepers—with the power to say “yes” to the One who brings light to every dark corner of our lives.
