Hope for the Broken | Hope Season
In this message we explore the powerful truth that Christmas is not a story for perfect people but for hurting people. The first Christmas broke into a world of fear, shame, silence and suffering. Through five different moments in the Christmas story, we see how hope meets us right where life is breaking.
Mary shows us hope for the overwhelmed.
Simeon and Anna show us hope for the waiting.
The genealogy of Jesus shows us hope through broken family stories.
The manger shows us hope for the humble and hurting.
And the tragedy in Bethlehem shows us that hope still comes into the darkest, most painful places.
Jesus does not avoid our brokenness. He steps into it, carries it and heals it.
This episode reminds us that no matter what we face this season, hope has a name, and His name is Jesus.
