Podcasts about advent devotions

Today's word: Courage (Luke 1:30-33) The angel tells Mary, “Do not be afraid,” as she learns of her role in God's incredible plan. It's an overwhelming message, but courage begins where fear ends. For God's purpose to unfold, Mary must trust and let go of fear. Take a moment to watch this short devotional. As you reflect this Advent, ask yourself: How is your heart today? What fear must you cast out to embrace God's calling in your life? Video version: https://youtu.be/1d-Sp0wyJB0

video version: Today's word: Blessing (Luke 1:26-29) Mary reminds us that blessings are not always easy—they can bring responsibility, challenges, or even sorrow. As we prepare our hearts during Advent, take a moment to watch this short video devotional and pause to consider: Where are you blessed in your life right now? How have you embraced or resisted God's blessings?

Video version: https://youtu.be/1ozFaZ5EHCQ Today's word: Beginning (John 1:1-5) Advent marks the start of a new season, reminding us that God is always at work, bringing light into the darkness and beginning something new in our lives and the world around us. Take a moment watch this short video devotional and to pause and consider: What is God beginning in your life today? What light do you see shining in the dark?

Today our text comes from Revelation 11:15-19 with its vision of that day when Christ our King comes again. May God bless you as you hear his word today.     The seventh angel sounded his trumpet, and there were loud voices in heaven, which said: “The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Messiah, and he will reign for ever and ever.” And the twenty-four elders, who were seated on their thrones before God, fell on their faces and worshiped God, saying: “We give thanks to you, Lord God Almighty, the One who is and who was, because you have taken your great power and have begun to reign. The nations were angry, and your wrath has come. The time has come for judging the dead, and for rewarding your servants the prophets and your people who revere your name, both great and small—and for destroying those who destroy the earth.” Then God's temple in heaven was opened, and within his temple was seen the ark of his covenant. And there came flashes of lightning, rumblings, peals of thunder, an earthquake and a severe hailstorm.     This is the Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.   As you journey on, go with the blessing of God:     Guide us waking, O Lord, and guard us sleeping, That awake we may watch with Christ, and asleep rest in his peace. May Almighty God bless, preserve, and keep us, this day and forevermore. Amen.   **Next week we begin our series of Advent Devotions from the book of Ruth, returning again to a format of written reflections from Pastors Michael & Anthony.  Join us!

Does the responsibility of decision-making leave you feeling overwhelmed or anxious? As life and ministry move forward, all of us face the reality that there's too much to carry without Jesus. This is when we can learn to lean on Immanuel who wants to journey with us, help shoulder the heavy load, and lead us in making decisions. Tune in for this episode of Soul Talks as Bill and Kristi share how they practice trusting the Spirit's work through stressful ministry situations and growth. You'll learn to depend more deeply on Abba through faith-stretching circumstances as you become aware of how he's leading you and come to trust he's also guiding those around you. Resources for this Episode:Surprising Joy: A Journey with Jesus for AdventAttend a Soul Shepherding Institute RetreatDonate to Support Soul Shepherding and Soul Talks

You know, sometimes at Christmas time, you know we have a wonderful and glorious time but actually also for many of us at Christmas time it can be a reminder of the lament of the world, perhaps the wars or you know, violence. The violent things that are happening in the world cause us to lament or perhaps we just remember the losses, you know, another year is rolling around and we see who isn't there at the Christmas table. We're grieving over the death of loved ones and Mary's Song of Hope, the Magnificat focuses us on who Jesus is, what He has come to do, that He will set all things right in the end. And I just think that is such a beautiful reminder. At Christmas if we're in a season of lament, if we're feeling hopeless about the state of the world, Jesus is the One who will bring the oppressor down from their throne.---Listen to international Christian author Dr. Amy Orr-Ewing being interviewed by veteran journalist Lorna Dueck.

Book interview with Glenys Nellist for “'Twas the Season of Advent: Devotions and Stories for the Christmas Season”

As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Make every effort to keep the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. There is one body and one Spirit, just as you were called to one hope when you were called; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. (Ephesians 4:1-6)   This series of Advent Devotions runs with the title “Immanuel, God with Us,” because at Christmas we remember that God came and took on our flesh to walk in our world, our space, in the history of our time.  We also look forward to the day he will come again to dwell with us face to face, on the day he makes all things new and sets all things right.  That is the one hope to which we have been called.  And we wait for it eagerly, especially these days. In between those two comings though—the Christmas Day of Christ's first coming and the future Advent Day of his coming again—we still have a life to live.  A race to run.     And just as Jesus took on human body as he was born a baby in Bethlehem, and just as he'll return in his resurrection body someday, so his body is still present and at work in this world in between.  But in a different sense. The body of Christ in this world right now, between those two comings—is us.  The church.  We are the body of Christ.  The body filled with His Spirit to accomplish His kingdom purposes in this world and in our lives until, as Paul will later write in this chapter, “until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.” So the body of Christ that is with and in this world right now, is us.  We are that body.  That tangible representation in the flesh of our Lord Jesus Christ.  We are the message of the Gospel, in flesh.  The ambassadors of reconciliation who bring words of confession and forgiveness in the name of Jesus.  The Spirit within us makes it so.  And lest we think this is all just a nice bit of fantasy or merely some illustration—remember the very first words that Paul speaks in this chapter. “As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received.”  Paul had no illusions.  He was in chains.  In lockdown, as we are today.  Of course, Paul's personal situation was a lot worse than ours.  But even in our situation, we can appreciate the urgency of his plea.  This isn't fun and games, it's not playing around and dreaming.  This is dead serious.     In the days when you can't attend church anymore because you're locked down: you've got to live this gospel message where you are, being completely humble, gentle, patient, bearing with one another in love—especially those you're locked down with.  Or those in the government who have put you there.  Or those neighbours who you do still see.  It's an easy time to drift away, to fracture off, to split apart because of the intense pressures we face outside and in: but take heart!  We have been united to this body of Christ—a union the Spirit brings and keeps and enables us to keep.  We follow One Lord who still sets before us the one hope, that when he comes again—every bit of sin and evil will be set aside, every sorrow healed, every tear dried.  So stand firm, together with your brothers and sisters in the body of Christ.  And continue to be that body in this world, even in a time of pandemic lockdown, even on the darkest day of the year—praying and living the prayer: “your will, O Father, be done. On earth as it is in heaven.”       On my ornament today, I'm going to try to draw some depiction of the body of Christ, the church in the world.  Not the building mind you, but the people.  I'll write the words: “be the body.” And for an action, is there one concrete way that you can bear with someone else in love? Perhaps it's someone that annoys you or that you're in a fight with.  Show love to them today.
