December 21: It wasn’t a Silent Night

Advent Calendar

December 21, 2021 • Michael Hearn

REFLECT: Was it really a "Silent Night"?

When we think about the past or retell stories we tend to modify them over time. It can be tempting to gloss over the uncomfortable details to make things more neat & tidy, or simple & straight forward, and Christmas is no exception. So what was that first night REALLY like? And what does God have for us to learn about that "Not So Silent" but "O So Holy Night"?

This Christmas, we invite you to look beyond the all too familiar renditions of the Christmas story, and dwell on the implications of what God has offered us: Salvation through a Savior!
