Isn't it beautiful that the deepest meaning of Christmas is found in the One who first gave Himself to us? In this Christmas episode, John continues part two of his Christmas to Remember series, inviting us to step beyond the noise of the season and seek its spiritual core. Through the beloved story “The Man and the Birds,” popularized by Paul Harvey, he offers a vivid picture of God’s compassion and the miracle of Christ coming near, on the rich invitation behind Adeste Fideles (“O Come, All Ye Faithful”) and how its message still calls our hearts today. With gentle guidance and meaningful insight, he encourages us to pause, remember Christ’s gift again, and consider who in our lives may need a simple invitation to experience the wonder of Christmas Eve. In this episode, John discusses: Stepping away from holiday stress to rediscover the spiritual heart of Christmas The powerful message of The Man and the Birds and how it illustrates God’s love The personal invitation of Adeste Fideles (“O Come All Ye Faithful”) and what it calls us toward Why Jesus is the ultimate gift that gives meaning to every other gift we give Key Takeaways: Christmas is a revelation of God drawing near, stepping into our world so we could understand His love in a way we would never grasp on our own. Every act of giving, kindness, or generosity this season becomes a small reflection of God’s heart, who gave Himself fully and freely. Before we give anything away this season, we’re invited to rest in Jesus, remember Him, and let His presence shape our celebrations. Christmas Eve offers a simple but meaningful opportunity to extend an invitation—one conversation, one question, can open a door for someone to encounter the heart of Christmas. “Christ is not one of the gifts under the tree. He is the gift above the tree.” CLICK ON THE LINKS BELOW FOR MORE MONEY MADE FAITHFUL!

This week Sarah Khiroya shared a message about the profound act of adoration in the Christmas carol "O Come, All Ye Faithful," particularly focusing on the line "Oh come let us adore Him" as an invitation to express our deepest worship for Jesus. She emphasized that our praise and worship are the most fitting offerings to honor the incomparable gift of Jesus, encouraging reflection on how we can join the angels in their eternal chorus of adoration.

Over the next week or two – whatever your degree of vocal prowess or religious belief – you are likely to join in some form of communal singing. Whether it's ‘O Come, All Ye Faithful', ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You' or ‘Feliz Navidad', you will be obeying the exhortation of Psalm 100: “Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth. Serve the Lord with gladness; come into His presence with singing.”Carols and seasonal songs are so integral to this time of year that we don't probe the reason for their presence in churches, homes and so many other shared spaces. St Augustine of Hippo, born in the fourth century, can enlighten us. He said: “Cantare amantis est.” In other words, “To sing is the act of a lover,” or, as the Pope put it at the Jubilee of Choirs in Rome last month, “Singing belongs to those who love.” When we love deeply, silence is not enough. Love, with all the trust and joy it engenders, seeks expression, and it finds expression through song.Christmas is the feast of God's love made flesh. Our carols are songs of love to the God who comes among us. As Pope Leo reminded the singers assembled in St Peter's Square, song can be a way of praying, lifting the soul towards the mystery we celebrate. When we sing, we join the angels who announced “Glory to the newborn king”.Of course, the spiritual power of song is not restricted to Christmas and the people who celebrate it. It was in Judaism that the Psalms first became shared prayers, and at Hanukkah – the festival of light that so often coincides with Advent or Christmas – families and congregations sing to glorify God as candles glow.In the Qawwali music of Sufi Islam, voices weave together in devotion. In Hinduism there are bhajans, in Buddhism chants, all expressing the universal impulse to give voice to love and reverence. To return to Psalm 100, our songs will ring out as we enter God's gates with thanksgiving, and His courts with praise.In a world that is so often fractured, communal singing produces both musical and spiritual harmony. So let us sing – not because custom demands it, but because love compels it. Through the simple and affirmative act of raising our voices together in this season of joy, and as members of the human race, we both convey and embody a crucial message: that what unites us is far greater than what divides us.

Christmas repertoire books featuring solo fingerstyle guitar arrangements are great for the holiday season! Whether you simply want to get into the Christmas spirit or you need to perform Christmas tunes at your gigs, there are a number of great Christmas repertoire books. Last year I did a similar multi-book review, but I need to put out an update since I have since gone on a buying spree and purchased 4 more books that I'd been curious about. In this review I will look at the original three books that I reviewed: Hal Leonard's “Fingerpicking Yuletide,” Mark Phillips' “Christmas Carols for Easy Classical Guitar” (Cherry Lane Music Company), and John Hill's “Classical Guitar Christmas Sheet Music” (Hal Leonard) As well as my four new books: Michael Wood's “Echoes of Christmas Past,” Bruce Emery's “Christmas Fingerstyle Guitar,” and Doug Young's “Christmas Carols for Fingerstyle Guitar” AND “A DADGAD Christmas.” And finally I'll mention one book that I don't have, but I can see enough from previews to be able to compare to the other books: Hal Leonard's “Fingerpicking Christmas” To be clear, all books are suitable for either steel string guitar or nylon string classical guitar. I will demonstrate tunes from each book so that you can see and hear what you're getting. Now, whether you are just looking to enjoy playing holiday tunes for yourself, with your family and friends, or on stage, there are several factors to consider. Christmas music is really only acceptable in the month of December, so if you are like me then you'll start preparing in November. As these tunes are kept on the shelf for 10 months of the year, I generally look for the easiest arrangements that still sound as good as possible. I need to be able to whip these into shape in a reasonable amount of time. Perhaps you (unlike myself) are looking for the most incredible sounding arrangements possible, regardless of their difficulty? One of these books in particular fits that bill. Another important factor to consider is whether you are looking to play instrumental arrangements or if you are looking to lead a singalong. Some books are better suited to one or the other. I'm going to try to guide you to the book or books that are best for YOU. Each of these books is valuable in its own way, but one may fit you better. Hal Leonard's “Fingerpicking Yuletide” is the only book out of these that has popular modern/mid-twentieth century tunes like Holly Jolly Christmas, Frosty the Snowman, Jingle Bell Rock, and Let It Snow! Hal Leonard is a publishing giant and has the ability to publish these popular tunes that are protected by copyright. Late-beginner/intermediate. Pretty good arrangements, especially as a starting point. No audio recordings. All of the other books contain traditional Christmas carols like O Come, All Ye Faithful, The First Noel, Jingle Bells, and Silent Night. These are all of the tunes that fall under the realm of public domain, so authors can arrange them without worrying about legal issues or royalties. Out of all of these other books, two books stand out for containing beautiful, yet easy to play arrangements. Wood's “Echoes of Christmas Past” is #1, Phillips' “Christmas Carols for Easy Classical Guitar” is #2. Wood's arrangements are incredibly playable and sound so so good. Very flowing and arpeggiated with a folksy touch. Never too many notes at once, so easy on the hands. No lyrics written into the music, and no audio recordings. Phillips' arrangements also flow very well with lots of arpeggiation and pedaling on the open G string. Definitely has some classical guitar vibes. Once again, no lyrics, but this one does come with a CD for the audio recordings. If you are the type of player who wants a simple arrangement that you can enhance, or if you want to lead a singalong and need a really straightforward arrangement, Bruce Emery's “Christmas Fingerstyle Guitar: Plain and Fancy” and Doug Young's “Christmas Carols for Fingerstyle Guitar” are very valuable books. Each contains the most basic arrangements with block chords harmonizing each melody. These are excellent for beginners and work great as lead sheets for intermediate and advanced players (as a platform from which you can create your own variations). Young's book is a bit easier. Emery's book provides each carol at three difficulty levels. Emery's has lyrics in the music so it works better for singalongs. Young's has lyrics on the opposite page from the music, so usable for singalongs, but not ideal. Both provide audio recordings. These two books are both great gigging books, but I if I had to choose, I'd rather have the Wood or Phillips book at a gig. Doug Young's “A DADGAD Christmas” is unique and incredibly beautiful. Much more difficult in comparison – suitable for intermediate and advanced players. Audio recordings are available on Spotify and make for great listening! Some really satisfying arrangements, but not my first choice of Christmas gig book – I generally want Christmas gig tunes to be on the easier side. Hill's “Classical Guitar: Christmas Sheet Music” contains arrangements that can absolutely work on steel string guitars, but they are written only in treble clef. These arrangements are all a bit more difficult to play, regardless of treble clef vs. TAB, and they don't necessarily sound better than the arrangements of the other books. Many arrangements just feel clunky with difficult fingering. One thing that I do like is the arrangement of Tchaikovsky's “March” from the Nutcracker, which you won't find in any of the other books. If you are a classical guitar teacher, these would definitely be useful to use with your students. No audio recordings. So, to organize all of this information: Only one for mid-twentieth century tunes: Hal Leonard's “Fingerpicking Yuletide” Best for solo instrumental gigging: Wood's “Echoes of Christmas Past” is #1, Phillips' “Christmas Carols for Easy Classical Guitar” is #2. Hal Leonard's “Fingerpicking Yuletide”is an equally important gigging book for me too just because of its arrangements of popular tunes. Best for singalongs: Hal Leonard's “Fingerpicking Yuletide”, Bruce Emery's “Christmas Fingerstyle Guitar: Plain and Fancy”, and possibly Hal Leonard's “Fingerpicking Christmas” Most beginner friendly: Probably Doug Young's “Christmas Carols for Fingerstyle Guitar” orBruce Emery's “Christmas Fingerstyle Guitar: Plain and Fancy,” then Wood's “Echoes of Christmas Past” is #1, Phillips' “Christmas Carols for Easy Classical Guitar” Most sonorous arrangements: Doug Young's “A DADGAD Christmas” Don't buy: Hill's “Classical Guitar: Christmas Sheet Music” Performance: Holly Jolly Christmas, Frosty the Snowman – Hal Leonard's “Fingerpicking Yuletide” Come, All Ye Faithful – in all books other than Hal Leonard's “Fingerpicking Yuletide” andDoug Young's “A DADGAD Christmas” Silent Night – in all books other than Hal Leonard's “Fingerpicking Yuletide” My own books: Fingerstyle Blues Guitar: An In-Depth Study of the 12-Bar Blues in E Major – Books 1 and 2 are available in paperback or as an eBook through Amazon [https://a.co/d/g7Udsso (Book 1) and https://a.co/d/aDbh4H0 (Book 2)]. The first priority of these books is to quickly get you playing a solo instrumental 12-bar blues, and then to build on it until you can freely improvise or “jam.” You should be up and running by the end of the third chapter, and each following chapter will add icing on the cake.

This week at VBS our students were encouraged to "Build on the Rock" and learned that Jesus and the Bible are a firm foundation for our faith and lives. This hymn serves as a valuable summary of what the kids were reminded of this week and what we all need to be reminded of. The hymn has an interesting background, in that we don't know for certain who wrote it. It was also originally sung to the melody of "O Come, All Ye Faithful," a strange combination indeed! In the opening two verses the hymnwriter assures us of the power of Jesus and that He and His word are a firm foundation for us as we face trials in this life. This has been true for every generation of Christians, and it is true for you and me as well. In verses 3-7, the format changes. In these verses the LORD speaks to us personally. You can see this with the quotes in the text. These verses are taken from the LORD's words to His people in the Old and New Testament, and especially from the book of Isaiah. Several Biblical examples are given by the LORD as evidence for the promises that He makes to us. These real-life examples are proof that the LORD can and will be with us, deliver us, and never forsake us. What a joyful assurance for us all! The words of this hymn serve as a great source of comfort for the LORD's people, especially in the trials of this sinful world! Lord, bless our worship this weekend!

We know Christmas was last week, but we are still working through our series on “The Carols.” Today we will look at O Come, All Ye Faithful. In a world of uncertainty, Peter's epistle reveals a profound message of joy rooted in Christ's victory. Christians are “elect exiles” - chosen by God and living in a challenging world, yet called to rejoice with an “inexpressible joy” that transcends circumstances. God knows His people, sanctifies them through the Holy Spirit, redeems them through Jesus Christ, and provides an eternal inheritance. Unlike fleeting worldly happiness, this joy is anchored in Christ's complete victory over sin and death. Believers are invited to place Jesus at the center of their worship, experiencing a joy that comes from God's eternal grace. WATCH FULL SERVICE ON YOUTUBE DOWNLOAD PDF SERMON NOTES HERE

One of the special aspects of Christmas is hearing and singing the same songs, even though we have heard them year after year. Perhaps it is the memories that these songs bring to mind, or the beautiful music these songs contain, or perhaps it is the thrilling message these songs convey.

The Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church in Luverne, MN and host of the program goes solo for this study the hymn “O Come, All Ye Faithful.” Turning now to LSB 379 we come upon a hymn originally titled "Adeste Fideles" in Latin. Its history is shrouded in mystery with a touch of political intrigue. It is believed to have been written by John Francis Wade, an English Catholic hymnist, in the 18th century but didn't become popular until the 20th century. In this episode, Pastor Booe takes listeners through the history and meaning of this enduring Christmas carol. Learn more: hymnary.org/hymn/LSB2006/379 Celebrate the birth of our Savior with Thy Strong Word's Countdown to Christmas, a special series where we explore 10 of the most beloved Christmas hymns found in the Lutheran Service Book. Learn the history and meaning of these beautiful carols and how they reflect the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ. Each weekday we dive into every stanza of these classic hymns and discover the rich theology and joy it expresses. Don't miss this opportunity to prepare your hearts to receive Christ anew and rejoice with Thy Strong Word: Countdown to Christmas. Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.

For this week's episode, GamerDude decided to go back to Season Three, when he first did this episode about Christmas music, and shared 10 of his favorite non-traditional Christmas songs. GamerDude's stories this week include stories about the holiday concerts in school, and learning to sing Christmas carols around the piano with his mother. He shares the story about having to sing "O Come, All Ye Faithful" in front of the family, and how that experience was so traumatizing for him. GamerDude also talks about the how the tire companies used to put out vinyl albums each year, each with a collection of standard Christmas songs recorded by popular artists, and how his mother's record collection included a few of them.As for the 10 Christmas songs? Let's just say that the late, great Jimmy Buffet is featured, as are The Beach Boys and The Pretenders. But you'll have to listen to the entire episode for the full list!

Ever wondered about the profound richness and power of Advent hymns? How about the central themes of Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love that underpin the Advent season? Brace yourself for a journey that will change your perception of this season, as we explore these themes guided by the amazing hymns that have left their mark on Advent throughout history. We begin Week 2 by unearthing the true understanding of the Peace of Advent, as seen through biblical passages from Isaiah, Micah, and Luke. Then we turn our sights to the beautifully poetic hymn, "Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence". We dig into the verses of this phenomenal song and see how they point back again and again to Scripture, revealing the profound peace and quiet awe that comes from the incarnation of our Savior, Jesus Christ. We'll also share practical steps you can take to celebrate the Advent season with your family. Join us, and let's travel the well-worn pathways of Advent together.Red Mountain Church MusicRed Mountain Hymn Collective"Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence"Taken from Silent Night: Advent Hymns of Red Mountain ChurchCREDITSAshley Spurling: VocalsBrian T.

Christmas repertoire books featuring solo fingerstyle guitar arrangements are great for the holiday season! Whether you simply want to get into the Christmas spirit or you need to perform Christmas tunes at your gigs, there are a number of great Christmas repertoire books. In this review I will look at three books that I really enjoy: Hal Leonard's “Fingerpicking Yuletide,” Mark Phillips' “Christmas Carols for Easy Classical Guitar” (Cherry Lane Music Company), and John Hill's “Classical Guitar Christmas Sheet Music” (Hal Leonard). To be clear, all books are suitable for either steel string guitar or nylon string classical guitar. All three books feature a range of tunes suitable for late-beginner through intermediate fingerstyle guitarists. Hal Leonard's “Fingerpicking Yuletide” features mid-twentieth century tunes like Frosty the Snowman, Jingle Bell Rock, and Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Phillips' “Christmas Carols for Easy Classical Guitar” and Hill's “Classical Guitar Christmas Sheet Music” both feature traditional Christmas carols like O Come, All Ye Faithful, The First Noel, Jingle Bells, and Silent Night. Hal Leonard's “Fingerpicking Yuletide” and Phillips' “Christmas Carols for Easy Classical Guitar” provide both standard notation and tablature, but Hill's “Classical Guitar Christmas Sheet Music” provides only standard notation (no TAB!!!). The arrangements in Phillips' “Christmas Carols for Easy Classical Guitar” flow really well with nice arpeggiation. The arrangements in Hill's “Classical Guitar Christmas Sheet Music” are a mixed bag, but many of them have nice arpeggiation or feature an alternating bass line (Travis picking). Some of the arrangements are a bit clunky in comparison to the Phillips book. The arrangements in Hal Leonard's “Fingerpicking Yuletide” are also a mixed bag, but tend to be a little stripped down/simplified to make them easier. While some are great as they are, some are a little uninspiring until you add some extra inner harmony, arpeggiation, or other pizzazz. The arrangements are great for late-beginner/intermediate players, and they are excellent skeletons/frameworks/starting points from which more advanced players can add extra spice. The arrangements utilize a variety of alternating bass lines and arpeggiation. Hal Leonard's “Fingerpicking Yuletide” has 16 tunes. Phillips' “Christmas Carols for Easy Classical Guitar” has 22 tunes. Hill's “Classical Guitar Christmas Sheet Music” has 30 tunes. Hal Leonard's “Fingerpicking Yuletide” is the only book out of the three that has the lyrics written into the music which is nice when playing with friends/family or for helping you to sing the melody out loud or in your head while you are playing solo. Phillips' “Christmas Carols for Easy Classical Guitar” is the only book out of the three that comes with recordings of the tunes (mine came with a CD). All three books are worth buying – it just depends on what you're looking for. My eBook: Arranging for Fingerstyle Guitar: go to http://joemcmurray.com/checkout/ to purchase a pdf of my eBook. My music is available on all streaming platforms: Pins on the Map: my third fingerstyle guitar album will be released in January 2024. The first single, "Open Road," was released 10/20/23. Watch it on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/uPBh8sZQsT4?si=EM_wAwnHFqU1VC9C. Three other singles have since been released: “Lost and Found,” “The Matador,” and “Pins on the Map.” Riding the Wave and Acoustic Oasis: my first two fingerstyle guitar albums.
