Christmas or confusion, Bethlehem or bedlam . . . Which will you choose
this year? The truth is, we don’t have to choose, because Christmas
always happens right in the midst of our chaos. God breaks into our
noisy disorder and is made known in Jesus Christ. Christmas and
confusion—weren’t they intimately related at the first Christmas when
Jesus was born? Sometimes we forget that. That’s what this study is
about—how Christ breaks into our chaos and confusion and brings
Christmas—how Bethlehem always happens in the midst of bedlam.
The Youth Study is five sessions that help teens experience the hope of
Christ amid the commotion, confusion, and challenges of their day-to-day
lives. Leaders and participants work from the same book, which includes
readings for reflection, a host of age appropriate
teaching-and-learning activities that groups can choose to fit their
needs and setting, and a short devotional reading for each day of the
Advent season.
