As you sent me into the world, so I have sent them . . . --John 17:18
God sent Christ at Christmas. In turn, Christ sends us into the world to be his hands and feet, head and heart. Dynamic pastor Jorge Acevedo leads us on a 5-week Advent journey to discover how, where, and why we are sent. Joining him on the journey are four young clergy including Jacob Armstrong, Rachel Billups, Justin LaRosa, and Lanecia Rouse, who challenge us through story, art, and Bible study.
The DVD contains five sessions of 8-10 minutes of video for small group use, each led by a different presenter. Each session begins with a story about a memorable Advent or Christmas and is followed by a lively discussion among the presenters. Stories show that Christ sends us to liberate, to heal, to reconcile, to transform, to bring new life.
All videos are closed captioned.
