Reframing Jesus

Many people in first-century Israel had expectations that the Promised One would be a conquering king, a strict enforcer, or a political liberator. But Jesus shattered these assumptions, revealing Himself as a humble servant, a compassionate healer, and a friend to the outcast.

This Christmas, we’ll explore common misconceptions about the Messiah and uncover the powerful truths of His mission, offering a fresh perspective on the Savior who defied expectations and changed the world.
