Strange, Old, and Good News: The News of Advent

This week on Creative Thinking, we’re continuing our Advent journey, shifting our focus from the people of Advent to the news they receive.In Luke 1 and Matthew 2, we encounter strange, old, and good news. An angel delivers a message that surprises and challenges us, reminding us that God works in ways beyond our imagination. The familiar story of Christ’s birth also calls us to examine lives built on incomplete faith, inviting us to trust God fully. And the good news? God has come to save the world, bringing joy for all people through the Savior, Christ the Lord.Through Scripture and art, we’ll explore how the news of Advent—strange, old, and good—and the faithful people who witness it reveal the heart of a God who comes to redeem, restore, and bring joy.Support the showThe Creative Thinking Podcast with Kim Thomas is a resource of The Village Chapel in Nashville, TN, designed to inspire, inform, and encourage creative thinking from a Biblical perspective.
