Lucas 1:52-55

The Christmas story is the story of how God intervened in history through the birth of Jesus. The lives of Mary, Joseph, and the shepherds were utterly changed by this event. They found hope, love, peace, and joy; join the team from Vertical Worship as we remember together how, through Jesus, we can find these too. 

Every good story has a plot twist—an unexpected moment that changes everything. One of the biggest plot twists in the Bible is the Christmas story. Over the next five days, we’ll explore how this one event changed the world and how it can change your life today.

Het allerbelangrijkste moment in de wereldgeschiedenis was toen Jezus, het Licht van de wereld, vlees geworden was om onder ons te wonen. Engelen kondigden Zijn komst aan, gedichten werden geschreven, herders renden en Maria zong! Ga met ons mee op een vijfdaagse reis waarbij we Zijn licht onderzoeken, hoe het diegenen die bij Hem waren heeft geïnspireerd en hoeveel invloed het vandaag de dag op ons heeft.

Our Christmas story starts with the angel’s annunciation to Mary and concludes with the visit of the Magi. In these reflections and applications of the Christmas narrative I will mostly refer to Luke, as his is the fullest of the gospel accounts.
