Hour 1: The Joy of Jesus
Dr. Josh Moody wants us to spend the Advent season meditating on the joy offered in the coming of Jesus Christ, and looking forward to the day of his second coming! Join us as he teaches us how to cultivate a joyful sense of wonder. Learn how to celebrate the real meaning of Christmas. Christmas, at its most basic, is about the gift of Christ to save us from our sins. It speaks of the humility of God. It speaks of the grace of God. It speaks of the peace of God. It speaks of the beauty of the Savior in His infant lowliness, reaching down to lift us to His divine loftiness. It means that anyone―anyone from any background, culture, or socio–economic bracket, anyone at all, no matter what they have done or said or thought―may rejoice this Christmas!
Hour 2: Happy Hanukkah
Hanukkah is a Jewish holiday so deeply steeped in tradition that it may be difficult to sort out the legends from the real miracles that happened. When Jesus went to the Temple one cold Hanukkah night, He didn’t go to defy tradition or to oppose it. He came to bring Truth in the midst of it. David Brickner will join us to tell us the real story of Hanukkah and where Jesus fits in.
