Persistent Hope
Too many Christians today wonder what the point of caring for the world is if we all go to Heaven after we die. But at the heart of the Advent message is an insistence that Jesus' coming is good news for the whole world. What does that look like? And how is the fact that we're waiting for Jesus to return good news?
From Series: "Christmas at the Crossroads"
2020 has been a year of a lot of changes. How can we navigate change well? How can we be prepared for a future that hasn't manifest yet? This Advent season, we're exploring how God's people prepared for the unexpected arrival of Jesus - and how that can help us prepare for what's ahead of us!

This is the season of the year when people start to think about monsters – ghosts and goblins and things that go bump in the night. We normally don’t think of monsters having anything to do with the Church, but we’d be wrong. The reason people tell monster stories is that monsters are a safe way to talk about things we’re not ready to admit about ourselves. We don’t want to see ourselves as selfish, unforgiving, ill-tempered. So we tell stories. We create monsters.
