Handel’s sacred oratorio known simply as, Messiah, tells the biblical story of God's redemptive work through Jesus Christ. Since its first debut in 1742, the Messiah continues to minister to audiences globally and is regularly performed during Christmas and Easter.
Join us this Advent season as we draw upon the music and biblical lyrics of Handel’s Messiah to help us prepare to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. Each song of Messiah features bible passages drawn primarily from the King James Version of the Bible.

“What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth. Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.”
– Romans 8:31-34
