We hope you will join us during the 10am hour as we look at Christ in the music of Messiah.

“Messiah: A Sacred Oratorio” has been a staple of advent musical performance for over two centuries. And yet, beyond the “Hallelujah” chorus and other sections, the music remains unfamiliar to many of us. During this (brief) class, we will read and listen to the advent portions of Handel’s oratorio and consider what role a deeper understanding of this iconic music can play in our advent reflections.

Guys, first Thursday of the month is the first DAY of December.

Join in at THE MILL at 6:30am.

 

Tuesday Genesis 3:14-15, 21

Theme: God Promises to Deliver Us
God tells the serpent (the devil) that a descendant of the woman is coming to make right what he has done wrong. Who is this child he is promising? It is Jesus – on the cross Satan “struck his heel.” But by making it possible for us to be forgiven, Jesus “crushed [Satan’s] head.” Look at what God does for Adam and Eve. This shows us that even though we are sinners, God loves us and wants to take care of us. Thank God for sending Jesus to set right everything that is wrong.

Theme: We Chose to Live in Darkness

What did God say would happen if we distrust him and disobey him? What does the devil tell us about our heavenly father? Is this true? Can you think of things about our world that remind you that we no longer live in “God’s garden?” Thank God for sending Jesus into the world so that we can someday return to his garden. Confess some of the ways you have failed to trust his word.
