Right Christmas
Dreaming of a Right Christmas...
Christmas is traditionally a time of rampant consumerism and self-indulgence. Pretty funny way to celebrate the birth of One who gave up everything to identify with the poor and the powerless.
This series takes a fresh look at the season and asks, how would Jesus celebrate Christmas?
Rich Christians in an Age of Hunger
Dave Mitchell. November 13th, 2011
7pm
It's harder for a rich man to enter heaven than a camel to go through the eye of a needle. What should our response as rich Westerners be to a world of poverty and injustice?
Good News for the Poor
Tim Dobson. November 20th, 2011
7pm
Jesus' manifesto included good news to the poor, but we've often spiritualised and made it about personal fulfilment. What does good news to the poor entail and how can we be people who bring that into reality?
The Advent Conspiracy
Philip Jinadu. November 27th, 2011
7pm
The scandal of the incarnation was that God moved into our neighbourhood, turning his back on power, comfort and indulgence. How can we celebrate this season in a way that honours the servant God? In other words, how would Jesus celebrate Christmas?
Consuming Passion
Pam Scott Cook. December 11th, 2011
7pm
How can we find a fresh passion for Jesus that leads to worship and a godly response to Christmas? How do we subvert the hyper-consumerist model without becoming sour faced kill joys? And is there something about Christmas that can renew our passion for Jesus?
