🔥 Why the Virgin Birth Isn't Optional - It's ESSENTIAL for Your Salvation 🔥

Most Christians know Jesus was virgin born, but do you know WHY it absolutely HAD to happen that way? Pastor Fortunato exposes three ancient curses that would have BLOCKED Jesus from being our Savior—and how the virgin birth was the only solution.

🗡️ This expository sermon was delivered at Pilgrim Baptist Church in Cookeville, TN on Thursday, December 25, 2025, at 6:00 pm. 🗡️

What You'll Discover in This Powerful Message:

This isn't just another Christmas sermon about baby Jesus—this is a deep biblical exposition that will transform how you understand the gospel message. Pastor Fortunato masterfully connects 2 Samuel 7, Jeremiah 22, Matthew 1, and Luke 3 to reveal why Jesus genealogy matters for YOUR salvation.

You'll understand:

✝️ Adam's curse and why every human father passes on a sin nature

✝️ Jeconiah's curse that CLOSED the throne of David to all his descendants

✝️ How Matthew's genealogy proves Jesus had legal throne rights through Joseph

✝️ Why Luke's genealogy traces through Mary to bypass the Jeconiah curse

✝️ The law's curse and how Jesus became sin for us on the cross

✝️ Why believing in a virgin birth doctrine is non-negotiable for biblical salvation

This message connects genealogies you've probably skipped over and shows how every name matters in God's redemptive plan. From Esther saving the Jewish people so Mary could be born, to the serpent on the pole foreshadowing Christ, you'll see how Scripture perfectly weaves together to give us our curse breaker—Jesus Christ, the sinless Savior.

The Bottom Line: Without the virgin birth, Jesus couldn't have been sinless. Without being sinless, He couldn't die for our sins. Without dying for our sins, we have no gospel and no hope. This essential Christian doctrine isn't optional theology—it's the foundation of everything we believe.

If you've ever wondered why the Christmas story matters beyond the manger scene, this sermon will open your eyes to the miraculous precision of God's plan for redemption.
