Engel scale rating Aimed at people at the early stage of their faith journey 2020 has not been the year many of us expected. Many of our plans were interrupted! This Advent and Christmas season, Andy Frost has put together five short reflections on the Christmas story about the greatest interruption in history – the birth of Jesus. We can become so familiar with the Christmas story that we miss the humanity of the characters – the rich emotion of these ancient stories. Andy takes us through some of the key characters and looks at how their story was interrupted by the birth of Jesus. Each video ends with the simple prayer: ​‘God, interrupt me this Christmas.’ [ Visit resource ](https://www.sharejesusinternational.com/christmas-interrupted/) ### Featured Resources [ ![](data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAaEAAAEqAQMAAACGEX2aAAAAA1BMVEUAAACnej3aAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAACZJREFUaN7twTEBAAAAwiD7pzbFPmAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAQOz7cAAG8Je16AAAAAElFTkSuQmCC) #### World Vision’s Christingle… All-Age ideas to lead or add to your traditional services and inspire your church family with the… ](https://www.eauk.org/great-commission/resources/christingle-pack-for-your-church) [ ![](data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAaEAAAEqAQMAAACGEX2aAAAAA1BMVEUAAACnej3aAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAACZJREFUaN7twTEBAAAAwiD7pzbFPmAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAQOz7cAAG8Je16AAAAAElFTkSuQmCC) #### Christmas with Bible… Bible Society have produced a host of resources to help you bring the Christmas story to life. ](https://www.eauk.org/great-commission/resources/christmas-with-bible-society) [ ![](data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAaEAAAEqAQMAAACGEX2aAAAAA1BMVEUAAACnej3aAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAACZJREFUaN7twTEBAAAAwiD7pzbFPmAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAQOz7cAAG8Je16AAAAAElFTkSuQmCC) #### In Search of… a trail-based treasure hunt for children and families, using a series of videos to encourage… ](https://www.eauk.org/great-commission/resources/in-search-of-christmas) [ ![](data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAaEAAAEqAQMAAACGEX2aAAAAA1BMVEUAAACnej3aAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAACZJREFUaN7twTEBAAAAwiD7pzbFPmAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAQOz7cAAG8Je16AAAAAElFTkSuQmCC) #### Shine Your Light Together take the message on Jesus onto our streets this Christmas ](https://www.eauk.org/great-commission/resources/shine-your-light) [ ![](data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAaEAAAEqAQMAAACGEX2aAAAAA1BMVEUAAACnej3aAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAACZJREFUaN7twTEBAAAAwiD7pzbFPmAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAQOz7cAAG8Je16AAAAAElFTkSuQmCC) #### A Community Christmas… A resource pack full of ideas to help you reach out to those in your community this Christmas. ](https://www.eauk.org/great-commission/resources/a-community-christmas-resource-pack) [ ![](data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAaEAAAEqAQMAAACGEX2aAAAAA1BMVEUAAACnej3aAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAACZJREFUaN7twTEBAAAAwiD7pzbFPmAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAQOz7cAAG8Je16AAAAAElFTkSuQmCC) #### Christmas Interrupted Andy Frost has put together five short reflections on the Christmas story about the greatest… ](https://www.eauk.org/great-commission/resources/christmas-interrupted) [](https://www.facebook.com/dialog/share?app_id=1769260916495219&href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eauk.org%2Fgreat-commission%2Fresources%2Fchristmas-interrupted) [](https://x.com/intent/tweet?text=Christmas%20Interrupted&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eauk.org%2Fgreat-commission%2Fresources%2Fchristmas-interrupted) [](https://www.facebook.com/dialog/send?app_id=1769260916495219&redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eauk.org%2Fgreat-commission%2Fresources%2Fchristmas-interrupted&link=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eauk.org%2Fgreat-commission%2Fresources%2Fchristmas-interrupted&display=popup) [](mailto:?subject=Shared%20from%20Evangelical%20Alliance&body=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.eauk.org%2Fgreat-commission%2Fresources%2Fchristmas-interrupted) Topics [Christmas](/great-commission/christmas) #### What is the Engel scale?
