Advent Study: Heaven and Earth by Will Willimon
Join us for a four-week Advent study starting on January 4 at 4:00 pm, where we will explore Will Willimon’s Heaven and Earth: Advent and the Incarnation. Together, we’ll reflect on the deep truth that it’s not within our power to make a fresh start. If we want a different future from the past, it must come as a gift rather than something we create ourselves. What we need is a God who refuses to be confined to eternity, a God who cares about us and is willing to show up among us and do something with us, here and now. In Heaven and Earth, Willimon introduces us to the God who does exactly that by bringing heaven to earth and transforming everything. During Advent, we celebrate and anticipate the earth-shaking, life-changing good news that God is coming to us. Watch out. Get ready. God is on the way. Everyone is welcome to join this meaningful and enriching study.
