SUMMARY:Advent Conversation | Heaven & Earth: Advent and the Incarnation
DESCRIPTION:Watch out. God is on the way.\nIt’s not within our own power to make a fresh start. If we’re to have a future different from the past\, it must come as a gift\, something not of our devising. What we need is a God who refuses to be trapped in eternity\, a God who not only cares about us but is willing to show up among us and do something with us\, here\, now. \nIn Heaven and Earth: Advent and the Incarnation\, Will Willimon introduces you to the God who does just that\, bringing heaven to earth and changing everything. In Advent we celebrate and anticipate the earth-shaking\, life-transforming good news that God is coming to us. Watch out. Get ready. God is on the way. \nWe will meet for two sessions to discuss the book and follow-up on the live Q&A we hosted on December 9 via zoom with the author.
