The Christmas story is familiar to many of us. And therein lies the danger. It has become so familiar that we miss many of the amazing truths God is revealing to us. Have you ever considered how the characters of Christmas teach us what it looks like to follow God? To say YES to His mission?In this series of Advent Conversations, we will discuss how Joseph and Mary, the Shepherds, and the Wise Men teach us what it means to 'Join Jesus in His Mission'. This week, we focus on the shepherds, the first ones to hear the Good News that Christ had been born.
