Christmas Around the World

December 4, 2022- December 25, 2022

As we dive into this Christmas season we wanted to give a different vantage point on the impact of Jesus’ coming 2000 years ago. Often times we only focus on the birth of Jesus, and we forget this was God’s plan all along. Jesus wasn’t plan b, He was always Plan A to come and rescue us. It’s a story God was weaving from before time began. And the story He was and is weaving wasn’t for a select few, it was for the WHOLE WORLD. Over this series we will take a look at how Christmas brought something new into humanity and how its beauty is celebrated differently across nations, ethnicities, and languages.
