The Greatest Gift - 4. Jesus as Conductor
Most of us think of Christianity as a ticket out of a broken world—something that matters later, not now. But what if that assumption is quietly reshaping how we live, love, and hope?In this week’s Advent teaching, Jesus as Conductor, we explore why Jesus didn’t come to help us escape earth—but to train us to bring heaven into it. Using the imagery of The Polar Express and Luke’s Christmas story, this message names the tension many of us feel between cynicism and control, hope and disappointment, destination and journey.If you’ve ever wondered why faith can start to feel passive, delayed, or disconnected from everyday life—or if you’re longing for a version of Christianity that actually changes how you live right now—this teaching is for you. The train is already moving. The question is: Will you stay on board.
