Thinking Biblically About Christmas
Teachers: Mickey Klink
Location: Worship Center
Summary:
What does it really mean to keep “Christ” in Christmas? Christians today might be surprised that Christians of old had a very different perspective than most Christians today. Even more, many might be surprised to see how many of our ideas about Christmas have been driven by cultural and not just biblical categories. Before pulling out our holiday decorations and heading to our family celebrations, let’s spend some time thinking biblically about Christmas, even in August.
