From Crown to Cradle

Harmony Church — Sun, 22 Nov 2009 21:52:29 +0000

This year we’re tackling the Christmas story in a different way. So often, we look at Christmas as Jesus being born in order to eventually ascend to the throne. But before the Incarnation, Crucifixion, Resurrection, and Ascension was the Descension, when Christ laid aside His crown in order to enter the cradle. Philippians 2:7 reads this way:

He made himself nothing, taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men.

At Harmony, we’ll tackle this idea of Descension over the span of 3 weeks, beginning with the Crown, moving through the Magnificat of Mary (the first Christmas Carol!), and ending with Jesus being born in the Cradle. Our main text will be the book of Luke, but as usual I’ll sprinkle in some goodies from the Old Testament and the other books of the New Testament. Through the Scriptures, we’re going to look a lot of cool things in the Christmas story that we really don’t grasp until we put ourselves in the shoes of a 1st century Palestinian Jew. Nativity scenes are all messed up, trust me.

Should be fun.

And it’s going to be great time to show up for the first time too, if you’ve never been to Harmony. And if you have been to Harmony, it’s great time to return. And if you attend Harmony, it’s a great time to bring your friends & family.

Tipsy Teapot. Sundays at 10am.

Pursuit Classes

Pursuit Classes are our midweek studies that include informal discussion about a particular topic by one of the Harmony Partners, followed by a Question and Answer session. They are meant for individual growth and learning, according to Proverbs 18:15, which states:

An intelligent heart acquires knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge.
