We are not Perfect - A Perfect Christmas?

This week we kick off our teaching series for the festive season, 'A Perfect Christmas?' which will be based in the nativity story of Matthew's Gospel. In so much Christmas imagery, advertising, stories, music and movies we are reminded of our culture's desire for a 'magical' and 'perfect' Christmas. Jamie asks whether our yearning for connection and wonder is at best misplaced, and at worse, a source of unnecessary stress. Matthew's Jesus story begins by painting a very different kind of picture: a context of scandal, trouble and strife in which we find very human and relatable people. We discover a God who seems very willing to work with people in all of their mess and 'imperfection'.
