ADVENT CONSPIRACY

CAN CHRISTMAS CHANGE THE WORLD?

Advent Conspiracy

This Advent at our Bray location we are embarking on a four week journey called the Advent Conspiracy based around four connected ideas:

SPEND LESS

Quick question for you: What was the one gift you remember getting for Christmas last year? Next question: What about the fourth gift? Do you remember that one? Truth is many of us don’t because it wasn’t something we necessarily wanted or needed. Spending Less isn’t a call to stop giving gifts; it’s a call to stop spending money on gifts we won’t remember in less than a year. By spending wisely on gifts we free ourselves from the anxiety associated with debt so we can take in the season with a full heart.

GIVE MORE

We know what you’re thinking. “Wait, didn’t they just say I should spend less, and yet here they are telling me to give more?” The most powerful, memorable gift you can give to someone else is yourself. And nobody modeled this more than Jesus. So what does this look like for you? The main point is simple: When it comes to spending time with those you love, it’s all about quality, not quantity.

LOVE ALL

It all boils down to love. Love from a savior. Love to a neighbor in need. By spending just a little less on gifts we free up our resources to love as Jesus loves by giving to those who really need help. This is the conspiracy three churches began a few years ago, and has since grown to an international movement where thousands of churches have raised millions to love others in life-changing ways. this year we will be supporting the Great Big Giveaway, our yearly Christmas Hamper distribution.

Worship Fully

It starts with Jesus. It ends with Jesus. This is the holistic approach God had in mind for Christmas. It’s a season where we are called to put down our burdens and lift a song up to our God. It’s a season where love wins, peace reigns, and a king is celebrated with each breath. It’s the party of the year. Entering the story of advent means entering this season with an overwhelming passion to worship Jesus to the fullest.
