CHRISTMAS SCANDALS
Everyone loves a good, clean redemption story. The recovered athlete. The healed parent. The prodigal son. But if you’ve read the Bible, it’s pretty hard to find neat and tidy stories. Instead, you find scandals. Through Jesus, these scandalous stories become signposts to redemption. This is the power of Christmas. Could God do that work in your life? Join us this December as we meet 5 unlikely characters that God uses to rescue our world, and maybe even yours.
