About this series theme
“God has pulled the powerful down from their thrones and lifted up
the lowly. God has filled the hungry with good things. . . .”
— Luke 1:52-53
This Advent/Christmas series will take a look at how living in God’s economy of grace and justice is the antithesis of the life-threatening addiction to money, success, exclusion and looking out for ourselves. The chimes of the clock-tower bells in Dickens’ classic A Christmas Carol provide a wake-up call for Ebenezer Scrooge and turn him from his resentment, fear and isolation. Just as God’s presence was born
anew into this world, we too can be born anew, woken up and redeemed into renewed life, joy, passion, generosity, humility and love.
