A Child is Born (Advent Study)

Come join us for a four-week Advent Study beginning Monday, November 24th at 10:30 am in the Fellowship Hall Study Room. We will focus on “A Child Is Born” with a short video each week from Amy-Jill Levine. Dr. Levine is University Professor of New Testament and Jewish Studies Emerita at Vanderbilt University. She always brings an interesting and often unique approach to the message of the Bible, and this Advent is no different.

Discover the fascinating connections between ancient birth stories and the Nativity of Jesus in this captivating four-week Advent study. The book discusses the births of Isaac and Ishmael, Samson, and Samuel to reveal how they foreshadow and enrich the timeless Christmas story in the final chapter. Author Amy-Jill Levine brings her expert knowledge of Scripture and careful consideration of the Christian story to show readers how Scripture's earlier birth stories anticipate the story of Jesus’s birth and how the birth resonates and gives new meaning to those earlier stories. Transform your Advent season with fresh insights and inspiration from A Child is Born.
