When Dietrich Bonhoeffer taught theology students at the University of Berlin in the early 1930s he insisted that they must sing Christmas carols if they wanted to become pastors one day. He emphasized the importance of singing carols, not because they are beautiful, traditional, or nostalgic, but rather because carols express the whole gospel. Join us this Advent as we engage in a series focused on the gospel in some of our favorite Christmas carols.
Despite our background or familiarity with the Bible, we all have questions about the Christian faith. It has become increasingly more difficult to separate authentic Christianity from its counterfeits and to know where to turn to make sense of how Jesus' message applies to our own lives and to the issues of our day. Christianity is oftentimes twisted and distorted by people with their own agenda, which makes it all the more difficult to figure out who Jesus really is and what he's all about. But what if the true message of Christianity is quite different than what we had always thought? Let's reconsider Jesus, together. Send us your questions at seniorpastor@centralchurchnyc.org.
