  • Summary

  • 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.
