Advent Study

Join Pastor Dave for a four-week Advent Bible Study . The study guide will be: The Case for Christmas: A Journalist Investigates the Identity of the Child in the Manger. The author is Lee Strobel—the author of our Lenten Study—The Case for Easter. Each class will begin with a video and then discussion.

Who was in the manger that first Christmas morning? Some say he would become a great moral leader. Others, a social critic. Still others view Jesus as a profound philosopher, a rabbi, a feminist, a prophet, and more. Many are convinced he was the divine Son of God. Who was he—really? And how can you know for sure? Consulting experts on the Bible, archaeology, and messianic prophecy, Lee Strobel searches out the true identity of the child in the manger. Join him as he asks the tough, pointed questions you’d expect from an award-winning legal journalist. If Jesus really was God in the flesh, then there ought to be credible evidence, including Eyewitness Evidence—Can the biographies of Jesus be trusted? Scientific Evidence—What does archaeology reveal? Profile Evidence—Did Jesus fulfill the attributes of God? Fingerprint Evidence—Did Jesus uniquely match the identity of the Messiah? The Case for Christmas invites you to consider why Christmas matters in the first place. Somewhere beyond the traditions of the holiday lies the truth. It may be more compelling than you’ve realized. Weigh the facts . . . and decide for yourself.

We do need to purchase books for this study. The cost is $6.00. You can pay at the first class. Please register by contacting Gail Baker (740-852-0462 or gail@londonfumc.org).
