From Jesus' birth in a manger to today's housing crisis, discover how the Christmas story provides a radical framework for understanding housing justice. Challenge your perspective on shelter, community responsibility, and what it means when God chooses to enter human homelessness.

Scripture Focus:

  • Luke 2:7 - "No room in the inn"
  • Isaiah 58:7 - Provide shelter for the homeless
  • Matthew 8:20 - Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head

Key Points:

  • God consistently emphasizes shelter as a basic right
  • Community responsibility in housing justice
  • Systems that create housing scarcity

Questions to Consider:
