What does it mean to be a human being? Being Human is a series about God's vision for us as his image-bearers. We were created with purpose and are invited to be transformed into the type of humans that God had in mind from the beginning.

During Advent we wait. We step onto the holy ground of a holy longing—longing for Jesus to arrive. In Luke 1, we learn about the miraculous way that God used the parents of John the Baptizer and the parents of Jesus.
