One of my favorite movies to watch is Vantage Point.  It’s a great movie that unfolds over and over again.  As the viewers we watch an event unfold, and once it gets to a certain point it pauses and rewinds changing vantage points from which the plot will carry on from there.  We recently introduced it to our sons, Carson our youngest got so frustrated watching the movie he shouted out, “Come on and show us the rest already….”  

There are events in life that we need to watch and rewatch over and over again because how crucial they are.  I find myself reflecting on events in my life over and over again hoping to learn needed lessons so I don’t repeat some failures, or learn how to maximize the success that was presented.  

We are in our first Christmas Season at RE.THINK Church and we are looking at the event of Jesus’ birth from different vantage points found in the Bible.  

Our purpose in doing this is to capitalize as much as possible on experiencing the birth of Jesus.  It’s easy and tempting to just accept the events passed down to us, but I want to encourage each of us to read and re-read the events found in the Bible these coming weeks.  

If you’re familiar with the Bible you’ll find the birth of Jesus in Matthew chapter 1 & 2,  and Luke 1 & 2.  If you’re new to the Bible or if the Bible has always been something the confused you more than brought clarity you’re not alone!  I’d encourage you to join us at RE.THINK Church as we explain this event from different vantage points as we approach Christmas.
