In Simeon's own words, we explore the profound impact of Jesus' birth: "He's either the solid rock upon which we stand or the very stone that causes us to stumble."

Pastor Colin will delve into these two ways of viewing Jesus, as prophesied by Simeon to Mary. It's a moment of timeless significance—distinct responses elicited by the entrance of Jesus into people's lives. This narrative illustrates the stark contrast between those who embrace Christ, seeing Him as wisdom and power personified and those who view Him as folly.

We invite you to open your hearts (and your Bibles to Luke chapter 2) as we revisit the temple where Simeon, moved by the Holy Spirit, recognises the infant Jesus, proclaiming His destiny as a catalyst for both rising and falling in the hearts of many. This encounter encapsulates the essence of Jesus' mission and the breadth of responses He would continue to evoke throughout history.
