In our world, we all strive to gain advantages to have a better life. However, the truth of the Kingdom is captured in the story of a crippled lamb. Greg shows us how, in the Kingdom, having advantages can be a disadvantage, and having a disadvantage can be an advantage. 
This was a BEAUTIFUL Christmas message that we thoroughly enjoyed! We are transitioning to WH from another church and are 7 & 8 year old are a little nervous about it. They love The Crippled Lamb so that was a great start! The part in the message where Greg was saying to surrender everything to Christ, my 7 year old son whispered “no way am I surrendering all my toys”. I whispered back, that’s not what he means. Then he said “OK, OK, I get it, give my heart to God” So it was nice to know he was listening! In an ever so crazy “game playing” world where my kids friends have a Play Station, Wii and DS, $400 Lego sets vs. $20-$40 Lego sets, $400 bikes vs. a $60 bike, etc. it’s a non stop work in progress to teach them what’s really important in life, then hope and pray they understand. When you see glimpses they do, it warms your heart.
This message is one of the reasons Greg Boyd remains one of my favorite preachers!
