Christmas In July

Last month, Mike and I joined a summer Bible study our Bridge Builders group sponsored.  It is titled "Christmas In July."  However, it is based on the book The Journey.  The Journey is actually based on a series of Christmas sermons done by Adam Hamilton a few years ago.

It is the story of Mary and Joseph.  Adam Hamilton is a wonderful story teller.  We last studied Joseph.    It is amazing how little is written about Joseph.  However, from other research done by Hamilton and by going to the area, Rev. Hamilton was able to develop the history and character of Joseph a little more.



Every week we watch a film pertaining to the sermon on that week's subject.  Adam Hamilton, also, shows clips from his trip to the Holy Land.  The nice thing is that Rev. Hamilton's sermons can be found on-line.

I have enjoyed studying about Jesus' earthly family during the summer without all the craziness of the Christmas season.  Christmas in July has been a nice change of pace!!
