Finding Wonder Again: When Christmas Gets Too Familiar | Advent Unpacked
Ever feel like you've heard the Christmas story so many times you could tell it through the eyes of the nativity camel? In today's deeply personal message, we explore how even pastors can struggle with "Christmas fatigue" - and how to rediscover the profound wonder of the incarnation.
Through the lens of faith development and personal experience, we'll explore:
- The journey from simple belief to deep understanding
- Why familiarity with the Christmas story can actually block our wonder
- How slowing down during Advent can reveal new depths in ancient truths
- The revolutionary idea that God entered time and space through a virgin's womb
Perfect for anyone who feels like they've "heard it all before," this message invites us to discover the simplicity on the other side of complexity - finding fresh wonder in the familiar story of God's greatest gift.
