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.
