Magnificent Refinement
Who do you most identify with in the Christmas story? Maybe we most love Mary and Joseph, or the magi on their road trip, or the shepherds. The song Mary sings while she’s pregnant with Jesus is a reminder that Christmas is about more than gifts and parities… it’s about God rescuing the world. What does that mean for us? Well… it depends on where we are in God’s story.

Advent is a season of preparation... and proclamation! How can we be a people who stands up for God's peace, justice and love in our world? In this series, we'll draw from Kathy Khang's book, the Old Testament prophets and Mary's journey to Bethlehem.

How easily do we reduce Jesus’ new life to ‘spirituality’? We think of God’s Kingdom as one area of our lives – what we do on Sundays, or with a small group, or when we’re engaging in religious activities. But Jesus tells us stories that invite us to imagine a Kingdom so big it encompasses our whole lives. A new life that can’t be measured, can’t be quantified because it’s too big, too excellent. This kingdom is worth everything we have and more. It demands everything from us and when we give it all, we wish we could give more. This new life Jesus offers is priceless!
