In all the busyness and traditions of Christmas, it’s easy to miss the shocking nature of the story of Jesus’s birth. For the people who were there long ago, the season was anything but normal. In this booklet, follow along in Luke’s story of Jesus and watch how ancient promises totally transformed the lives of normal people. Along the way, we’ll find that the story asks us some challenging questions about how we will choose to respond when we find the winds of Jesus’s story tugging at our own lives.

Mary, Elizabeth, and Zechariah all woke up one morning expecting a normal day, and instead were invited to participate in something far greater than themselves: an ancient promise coming to life. Most people know the Christmas story, but do they see the greater lessons applicable for the other 364 days of the year? The Christmas story reminds us that God never forgets His promises, His timing is perfect, He’s in all the details, and nothing is impossible. Would you be willing to allow your life to change for the sake of something bigger than yourself?
