God’s people desperately awaited messianic “shalom” - the promise that Jesus would bring true flourishing peace on Earth as Heaven’s envoy. Yet Christ dismantles common notions of power by arriving in startling humility as a poor, oppressed minority.

This Christmas, will we make room for the unexpected ways the marginalized infant King wants to welcome the foreigner, bind up the oppressed, and reconcile long-broken relationships? Explore how opening our lives to biblical peace often means pursuing courageous grace in unexpected places.

Join us this Sunday investigating Mary’s radical vision for her son’s upside-down kingdom that lifts up the lowly. May our own lives reflect the scandalous grace that compels compassion regardless of status.
