For What It’s Worth… A Clear View of the Birth of Jesus

      from PASTOR SCOTT

I was pleased to find a favorite Christmas resource now available for you to watch with your family from your own home during this Advent Season. It is called “A Clear View of the Birth of Jesus” and it is one of the most memorable pieces of quality exegesis that I have seen presented in a teaching format. Dr. Ken Bailey is the researcher and presenter and he deconstructs the story of Jesus’ birth from the assumptions that have been added to it over time. I think that you will be surprised and intrigued at
all he has to say.

Did you know that it probably was not an inn that Joseph and Mary went to?

Did you know that it probably was not a “give birth the same night you get there” occurrence?

Did you know that the news to the shepherds as well as the Magi tells the story of the universality of the Good News for all people?

These are some of the things that Dr. Bailey will present and that he is uniquely equipped to uncover as he has lived his whole life in Middle Eastern Culture. 
The web address for this resource for you to watch with your family (Middle School and up) is at the bottom of this article. It is a lecture style format – so younger children will probably not be able to harvest too  much…but you will! Blessings to you and your family during this Advent Season – and from my family to yours…

Merry Christmas!
