The Advent Puzzle

Putting together a puzzle without the picture on the box is hard. Without a guide, we often feel clueless about where the pieces go. But once the border is done, and some patches are in place, it’s a bit easier.
As we approach Christmas this year, we’re going to take some time to see how some ‘pieces’ of God’s big picture fit together. The Gospels, the books that tell us of Jesus’ life, point us back to some passages in the Old Testament and show how they connect to Jesus. Join us and find out how a barren woman, a prophet, an enemy nation, and a backwater town all connect into the birth and early life of Jesus.
