The heart of the Nativity is a profound reversal, where the arrival of God's Kingdom subverts our expectations. Everything is backwards, and that is the key to its power. God’s favor is not granted to the powerful, but to the “last,” the humble, and the overlooked. The first witnesses were poor, outcast shepherds, signifying that this Good News is profoundly for those who have reason to be most afraid.

​

Jesus's birth is a promise to turn your world order upside down—replacing anxiety with peace, and despair with hope. The message delivered to the shepherds is a promise delivered to you: you need not be afraid. This revolutionary salvation is for all of us. You are invited to join us this Christmas to receive the comforting, age-old message of the angels: "Fear Not!” Come, and let the peace of Christ's birth banish your fear.
