The nativity scene is filled with memorable figures. Mary and Joseph surround the infant Jesus, the three wise men bring gifts, there is usually one shepherd, and an assortment of animals. And last but not least, there is an angel somewhere near the rafters. But the angels are no afterthought in the Christmas story, but rather are the ones who move the story forward. They reveal the unfolding plan of God, announce God’s favor, comfort the terrified, help the powerless,  and lead humanity in praise. They are constantly appearing because God is constantly moving in the lives of everyone involved. This Christmas, we invite you to join Coastline Covenant Church for our angel-focused advent series, Divine Intervention. Our hope is that their story would help you see and recognize the movement of God in your own life.
