The Christmas Dragon

Most people picture Christmas as cozy with lights, songs, and peace. But Scripture also shows the war behind the manger. In this episode of The Jon Groves Show, Pastor Jon Groves walks through Revelation 12 and connects it to Matthew 2 to expose the real spiritual conflict surrounding the birth of Jesus: the dragon, the child, the enemy’s rage, and Heaven’s declaration that the King has landed.

If you’ve felt pressure, opposition, fear, or heaviness during the holidays—this message reframes Christmas as a battle report and a victory announcement.

Key texts: Revelation 12 and Matthew 2
