Heaven and Earth DVD
Advent and The Incarnation
In the Advent season, heaven seems so close as we remember that a tiny baby in a manger is God in human form coming to show us the Way. God's choice of incarnation allows us to reflect on the mystery that Christ is the full revelation of God instead of being one who talks about God or one who speaks for or acts as God. But, no, Christ is God. In Heaven and Earth, beloved pastor and scholar Will Willimon explores the idea of Jesus as both fully human and fully divine this Christmas.
These four video sessions feature Will guiding participants through the content. Video sessions are 10-12 minutes in length.
Additional components for the four-week small group study include the book and leader guide.
