Crown and the Cradle

The Story That Changes Every Story This Christmas, we’re unwrapping the truth, cutting through the tinsel and going straight to the true heart of Christmas: a King was born. Not just a baby in a manger - a Kingdom breaking in. Ultimate power, in total vulnerability. Glory hidden in weakness, as God became flesh. The Crown and the Cradle is a seven-part series tracing the story of Jesus’ arrival, starting with the promise of His return, will we be ready? We’ll follow the shockwaves of His first coming through the eyes of real people like us, Mary, Joseph, shepherds, seekers from distant lands and see how the Kingdom upends expectations at every turn. It’s not just a story we remember. This story can rewrites ours. Whether you’re full of faith, full of questions, or just curious, this is your invitation. Come and see what happens on earth, when the Kingdom of heaven breaks in.
