God’s Story: Christmas
People had been waiting a long time for the Rescuer God had promised (Isaiah 7:14; 9:6-7). Through people like Zechariah, Elizabeth, John and Simeon (Luke 1-2) and events like Jesus’ family’s escape to Egypt and their return to Nazareth (Matthew 2), God made it clear that baby Jesus was the Rescuer.

Music Video: Love Crashed into the World
Jesus came to rescue us in the most unexpected way.
This music video is a part of Crossroads’ Christmas show, “Awaited.” You can download the video from our Vimeo page HERE.
To get the song, go to our music page (it’s a part of Volume Three). This volume includes another Christmas song about the journey of the Magi called “Long Long Trip.”

Ask Shrimpola: Waiting for Jesus
Mae and Shrimpola (well….mostly Mae) answer how long people waited for God’s promise (Jesus). It was a long time! You can read all about it in Matthew 1.
Download HERE.
Ask Shrimpola: Mary and Joseph
When we talk about how Jesus is God’s Son, it can be really confusing to think about how he was also born to Mary and Joseph. Shrimpola sheds some light on this subject.

Ask Shrimpola: The Magi
Shrimpola tries to answer to figure out when the Magi visited Jesus. You can check it out in Matthew 1-2 and Luke 1-2.
Download HERE.
Ask Shrimpola: Jesus is Born
Shrimpola and Mae talk about why Jesus was born in such a dangerous time and in dirty and stinky place. That doesn’t sound like the best place for a king! You can read all about it in Matthew 1 through 2 and Luke 1 through 2.
