Incarnation (8 Lessons on How God Meets Us) - 9781641589840

God hasn’t abandoned us, God is with us! The Advent season celebrates Jesus, who is the living Word of God, moving into the neighborhood, joining us in life. As the Old Testament prophets foretold, he came to us as the baby born in Bethlehem that first Christmas, to lead us into new life and teach us the unforced rhythms of grace.

Each lesson in Incarnation guides you through a specific passage of Scripture, using the down-to-earth language of The Message, and takes you on a journey of anticipating and celebrating God’s presence as it transforms us and our neighborhoods.
