Advent Conspiracy

Christmas is just around the corner.  It’s hard to believe that every year I forget that its always in December! :)   This year we’re thinking a bit more ahead – trying to save a little each month so its not a financial killer when it shows up.  But what are we going to spend our money on this Christmas?  Are there better and worse things to buy?

There is a movement happening all over the nation.  For many it is the first time we have ever stopped to think about the consequences of the cultural Christmas traditions in America.  Families going into debt over gifts, and yet remaining in relational poverty.  The rich locking their doors tight as the homeless look for a warm bed.  We can become cynical at the world’s situation, or we can learn to live into the conspiracy of the Christmas story.

The story where Christ, the full Power of GOD, came down as a helpless child in the middle of a muddy, stinky trough.  The scandalous child of an unwed mother – and yet this is God’s greatest gift to humanity.  What makes this gift so great, and how might that change what we do this Christmas?  Watch this video and fire up your imagination…
