What is Christmas really all about? Each year, the culture focuses on gifts under the tree, meals around the table, family spending time together and hopes of winter weather. These all certainly play a part in the most wonderful time of year, but there is something else that is at the heart of the Christmas season. The Bible tells us that the real reason to celebrate is the saving grace offered to us through the birth, life and death of God’s son, Jesus.
The Heart of Christmas, our advent series, is centered on the story of Christ’s birth. From the prophetic promise of His coming to His miraculous arrival, the advent themes of hope, peace, joy and love will help us prepare for Christmas by getting to the heart of the holiday.
