Incarnation Be Inspired by the Names of Christ
His parents gave him the name Jesus. But the prophets, the shepherds, the wise men, and the angels called him Lord, Messiah, Savior, Emmanuel, Light of the World, and Word Made Flesh. In Incarnation: Rediscovering the Significance of Christmas, best-selling author Adam Hamilton examines the names of Christ used by the gospel writers, exploring the historical and personal significance of his birth.
In this final episode of The Promise of Advent webinar series, join Adam in a special behind-the-scenes conversation about what inspired him to write Incarnation and why the healing message of the Christ Child is needed this year more than ever.
Be inspired by Adam’s journey of writing this study as you prepare yourself and your church for this year’s Advent and Christmas season. Together we will bring light into the darkness.
