Mary's Story: Its not your children's Christmas Story! Luke 1:26-38
Channel: The Caffeinated Bible
Date: 17/12/2020

Luke 26-38 forms the backbone of this video. It examines the annunciation from the angel Gabriel to Mary. This is not the nice, cute story that we always imagine it to be but is rather provocative and confronted Mary with numerous challenges. Okay, that is it - no more spoilers.
This week's reading is the final reading during Advent and sets our hearts and hope on the  birth of Jesus in a few days.
