Message: “Unhrehearsed Christmas Pageant” from The Hillside Community

Nowadays everyone knows what Jesus was about. That's why non-Christians are left scratching their heads as to why those who claim to follow Jesus bear so little resemblance to him. Paul has some advice for church communities struggling to be like Jesus: focus only on what matters (hint: it's love!)
