Every year, Christmas media floods TV, radio, and online platforms, and it seems like it starts earlier every year. This Advent, to hear the story afresh, we are looking at the Christmas story through the lens of classic carols. The word “hark” means to listen in, to pay attention, to hear what is being said. We sing carols at this time every year, almost on autopilot, without thinking about the words. As we slow down, we let these songs, the beautiful blending of art and theology, to say to us: “Hark! Listen! Pay attention! Hear the good news of great joy that a saviour has been born for all people!”

This series lays the foundation for KAC’s theme for the year: Seen, Shaped, and Sent. The anchor text for this series is John 20:19–23, where the risen Jesus appears to His disciples, speaks peace over them, breathes the Spirit into them, and sends them into the world. This moment captures the cyclical rhythm of the Christian life: to be seen by the Father, shaped by the Spirit, and sent by the Son. These are not isolated events but an ongoing process of encountering God’s presence, being transformed in His likeness, and participating in His mission.
