The Scandalous Scriptures of Christmas

Tim will help you prepare differently for Christmas through 22 segments that shed light on what we commonly understand about the season and reveal how many of these Christmas scriptures have not been taught correctly or fully. In the Bible, the story about the birth of Christ is actually Scandalous. It causes general public outrage by a perceived offense against morality or law. Think about it! It involves a young virgin; national politics, outlandish proclamations; the supernatural visitations and crazy gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. 

Tim not only upsets many of the popular Christmas passages found in the Bible, but he also upsets many of the traditional ways that we have celebrated Christmas and gives practical tips on what you can do differently this year.
