CURRENT ADVENT SERIES
Son of Heaven: The Incarnation of Jesus
This Advent season, we will slow down and dive into John 1:1-18, which gives us a rich “theology of Christmas.” Let’s ask God to awaken wonder in our hearts as we ponder the incarnation, the “supreme mystery” of the gospel. Why does the incarnation matter? How is the humanity of Christ the hope of the world? Join us during the Christmas season to explore these questions and so much more as we celebrate the birth of our Savior!
