God in the Mess
The world Jesus was born into wasn't silent or still. It was loud, occupied, and politically charged. In this message from The Gospel of Luke at Summit Church, Pastor Jamin Stinziano opens Luke 2 to show us that the incarnation wasn't accidental or incidental. God chose the fullness of time, a specific emperor, a specific census, a specific stable, a specific manger. And into that mess (that very ordinary, very inconvenient, very human mess), the Savior of the world arrived. Not to the palace. Not to the powerful. To shepherds. If you've ever wondered whether God shows up in the middle of your ordinary, messy life, the answer is in Bethlehem.
