Impossible to Possible

Series: Whaaat? Awestruck by Glory

December 12, 2021 | Jeff Lucas

As we consider the theme ‘Impossible to Possible’ we celebrate the truth that we serve God - the One who made everything, and that He is able to do remarkable, supernatural things. A virgin birth is one example! How can we posture ourselves for greater intervention from our great God?

Series Information

The Christmas story, so familiar, so little understood, is about the extravagant love of God who came so far to rescue us. It’s about what is totally impossible becoming a reality - enough to split the heavens open, revealing an angelic praise party. And it’s about heaven coming to earth, the Messiah, not a victorious warlord as expected, but a fragile, tiny baby. Hope has come, not in an idea, a theory, but in the person of Jesus. ‘Awesome’ is an overused word, but one that is totally appropriate when we consider the Advent narrative.
