Rest in the Story: Culmination

What we do with the first Christmas will impact how we experience the second Christmas. When Jesus came the first time, it was as a baby in a manger. When he comes the second time, He will come as a King in all his glory. As we continue our series, Rest in the Story, we look at the culmination of all things where God returns, renders judgment, reverses suffering, restores all things, and reigns forever. These are the gifts of the second Christmas that Jesus will give to all who wait for him.
