Have you ever felt distant from God, as if He’s too far off or unreachable? The beauty of Christmas is that the transcendent God—who is infinite and beyond our understanding—became imminent, tangible, and close to us by coming in the flesh as a baby in the manger. The incarnation of Jesus, the divine becoming human, was an act of love revealing the only way for us to be reconciled with God. Jesus bridged the gap between humanity and the divine. Through His coming, we are no longer separated from God by our sin and brokenness, but invited into close relationship with Him. Jesus is the way back to the Father, the fulfillment of God's plan to redeem us and bring us into His family. This Christmas season, we are invited to walk in the way Jesus opened, the way to God. As we unpack the miracle of the incarnation, you will leave with a deeper understanding of how this act of love changes everything, pointing us back to God.

You don’t have to go far to be on mission with God, nor to be fiercely opposed.

Intentionally going to places off the beaten track and not for large crowds. Might not be a warm welcome.

Though the marks of spiritual oppression are intimidating, don’t run away. Lean in.

Setting captives free through Christ. Freedom is beautiful; ‘seated at the feet of Jesus, clothed, in his right mind.’

Only one man has been helped, but Jesus came for him alone.

He is told to GO home, not stay home; sent home on mission
