Christmas Personified – Angels Announced

December 7, 2015 By Nick Scott Leave a Comment

For the second Sunday of Advent, Pastor Ken looks deeper into Christmas in the series entitled “Christmas Personified”. Christmas is many things – a time for gift giving, a time to spend with friends and family, but Christmas is not just an event; Christmas is a person. Ken helps us understand this by putting Christ back into Christmas. Scripture is taken from Malachi 4, Matthew 1 and Luke 1, 2.

Pastor Ken has made two publications available to guide us through Advent and Christmas. The first is a document entitled “Christmas Day by Day” and it guides you through Christmas using Scripture. A PDF copy can be found here – just CLICK ON THIS LINK.

The second is a document provided by the CBOQ (Canadian Baptists of Ontario and Quebec) called “Advent Reader Online”. It features articles written by the youth of the BCOQ from all over the world; one story for each day of Advent. You can access this directly from the BCOQ web site at http://baptist.ca/advent/ or download here – just CLICK ON THIS LINK.
