Christmas draws our focus to the manger—the baby, the shepherds, the wise men. But have you ever looked deeper, past Bethlehem to see the whole story? The eternal Lord of glory didn’t cling to His rights or status; instead, He laid aside His privilege and became a servant, subjecting himself to mockery, torture, and eventually the shame of the cross. But the Christmas story doesn’t end in humiliation. Christ was raised from the dead and is now seated at the right hand of the Father in glory; and one day, every knee will bow before Him and every tongue will confess that He is Lord of all!
The Church is Not the Destination
“Church.” We say that word all the time, but do we really know what it means? Is the church the building down on the corner? Is it really the “house of God?” Are there traditions that have been added to the church that are actually hindering its mission? Which issues are worth defending in the church and which ones are a waste of time? Join us as we peel back these layers, and many more, to discover some eye-opening truths and make sure we’re being the kind of church Jesus intended from the start.
