ADVENT 2023
Season 03, 05.04 | peace
This Christmas is really not so different from the first - loss, tragedy, fear, transition, and displacement have left us all longing for peace. The birth of Jesus is announced with the good news of peace on earth. Tonight we explore what this peace truly means and the reconciling, restoring, resilient power it has in our lives.
season 03, 05.03 | heartbreak
This week, we continue this conversation about the heart of Jesus. Last week we talked about significance of his heartbeat, this week we reflect on his heartbreak - how his human heart held the same needs, desires, and vulnerabilities that ours do. We explore tonight the way Mighty God came to us as a needy and naked newborn, how he was exposed to every inescapable part of living in the flesh, and what his humanity means for our own experiences of pain and heartbreak.
season 03, 05.02 | heartbeat
The Christmas story uniquely centers a woman’s body. It features an immaculate conception, a pregnant Mary, and childbirth. Tonight we explore what this very human and physical dimension of “God with us” has to say about our flesh and where we go to meet with God.
season 03, 05.01 | assumptions
It’s Christmas! Tonight we start our four week Advent journey by taking a look at the way we form and carry assumptions this time of year, both in regard to Christmas and its story, but also about life in general. Jesus always shows up in every corner just like the first incarnate Christmas, surprising us and changing the way we view everything.
