Every year I make a YouTube video about some aspect of Christmas and its significance (see finished video here: https://youtu.be/ef37iUayHII).This year, I thought it would be good to share the Narration track as a podcast for those who don't have the time to sit done and watch a video.This year, I have been thinking about how so many of our Christmas rituals and traditions have been stripped away and how that could actually help us focus on the true meaning of the season and the incredible hope that lies at the heart of the Christmas Story.
A runaway slave is sent back to his master - not as returned property but as a brother in Christ.His owner is a church leader and he has to decide whether to react to the situation from the world's point of view or from the Kingdom's.The story of Onesimus is short but incredibly rich in the challenge it presents to the newly founded church
This you woman from a noble family demonstrates Grace, Kindness, Modesty, Charm, Wisdom, Courage and and Adventurous streak. On top of that, she is very beautiful. No wonder the Lord chose her to be Isaac's wife
Abraham's un-named servant was sent on a vital mission that would literally change the course of human history.We do not know his name but we do know that he was humble, diligent, faithful and loyal.
Jesus drew attention to the actions of a poor but generous widow because her offering was born out of a heart of devotion and sincerity.In His eyes, it is not the amount that counts - it is the attitude it is given with that matters to Him.Sorry for the technical hitch that meant this episode is a day late
One of the first people to share the great news that the Messiah had arrived was an 84 year old woman named Anna. She had spent decades in the temple worshipping God, praying and fasting.With masterful timing and precision, the Holy Spirit orchestrates events so that she is right next to Mary, Joseph and Jesus when Simeon prophecies to Mary about the significance of Jesus.It is a story of tenacity, grace and fulfilled promises
An elderly, faithful and devout jewish man had an incredible encounter with the infant Jesus when Mary and Joseph took him to be dedicated to the Lord at the temple.God's faithfulness to Simeon and Simeon's Spirit inspired perception of the purpose of Jesus makes for a moving and powerful story.
Despite being ripped from her family and her life, the maid to Naaman's wife showed incredible courage, faith and compassion when she suggested that Naaman should go and visit the prophet, Elisha, to be healed of his leprosy.She could have lost her life if Naaman was not healed but her courage paid off and triggered an incredible series of events.
After a succession of wicked Kings, Young King Josiah reacts to hearing the Book of the Law read out and does all in his power to do what is right in the eyes of the Lord
Often God will call us to tasks that He has given us specific skills for but sometimes, he is just looking for willing people...
David's men were so loyal to him that they were willing to risk their lives to fetch him water from his favourite well in Bethlehem - despite the Philistine garrison being camped there.It was their way of showing him honour and respect but David saw another aspect to their tribute...
Shammah was one of David's 3 mightiest men.He is famous for refusing to give ground to the enemy (the Philistines) and fighting on until God gave him a mighty victory
It seems clear to me that although it is ultimately the Holy Spirit himself who chooses which gift s we are given, He is looking for those who are eager to use them
The gift of interpreting tongues is the supernatural ability to understand and explain messages that are brought in a spirit-inspired language.The end result is always that those who hear the interpreted message are built up and encouraged and that the Lord is glorified
The Holy Spirit can give us the supernatural ability to speak in other earthly languages or in a heavenly language.This can be to draw attention to the gospel, to edify me or to edify the church
Not everything we see or hear, that sounds good or Godly, actually is. The gift of Discerning of Spirits is the ability to discern the origin of what we are seeing and hearing.It could be from God, The Devil, The Spirit of the world or from our own spirit.
Prophecy is the ability to receive and then communicate messages from God.They can be words of correction, prediction, revelation or edification
If the gift of healing is the process of speeding up or enhancing the laws of nature then miracles could be described as the temporary suspension of the laws of nature for God's purposes.
Biblical healing is the process of restoring wholeness in body, mind or spirit.God identifies Himself as our healer in both Old and New Testaments.The Holy Spirit can impart the gift of healing to us through His power and in His name.
Faith builds, like a muscle, as we allow God's Word to infiltrate our thinking but sometimes, we need an immediate surge of faith to help us through a situation or to minister help to someone.That is when the Holy Spirit will often give us the gift of faith...
