A potential public disgrace, a private dream, and one heck of a birth announcement! As we come to the close of Advent, Peter Walsh, Elizabeth Garnsey, and John Kennedy explore Joseph's angelic visitation. What would the cost have been for Joseph to break to break off his engagement, what do we miss by not reading Jesus' genealogy, and how will Jesus as "Emmanuel" be the fulfillment of God's desire for us?Questions for Further Discussion:Themes and ApplicationMuch attention is given to Joseph as a central figure—his righteousness, his discernment, and his quiet obedience. What stands out to you about Joseph's role in this story?The genealogy in Matthew includes figures marked by scandal, outsider status, or complexity. Why do you think Matthew intentionally highlights these “messy” ancestors at the very start of the Gospel?Peter noted that Matthew presents Jesus as both Son of David and Son of God. How do you hear these two identities working together in the story?Personal ReflectionJoseph wrestles internally before receiving clarity through a dream. Can you recall a time when you had to make a difficult decision before having all the answers?Dreams in Scripture are described as moments of divine communication rather than random mental activity. How open are you to the idea that God might speak through unexpected or liminal experiences?Elizabeth notes that Joseph never speaks in the Gospel—he simply acts. How comfortable are you with faithful action that goes unseen or unacknowledged?Broader Spiritual ConsiderationsThe clergy describe Jesus' birth as a new act of creation, echoing Genesis. What does it mean to think of salvation as God doing something entirely new rather than fixing something old?The discussion raises questions about how Christians read Jewish Scripture responsibly. What responsibilities do we have when interpreting sacred texts that are shared across traditions?As Advent draws to a close, how does this passage invite you to wait differently—not just for Christmas, but for God's presence in everyday life?Want to have your question or comment featured on the podcast?

Pastor Brian Tweedie continues our Advent series, this week focusing on the announcement of the Birth of Christ found in the book of Luke, Chapter 2 verses 8 to 20. Pastor Tweedie encourages us to make the time this Christmas season to focus and draw nearer to Jesus, who  is the Messiah and the entire reason for Christmas itself.www.cornerstonebrighton.com

The Christmas season is typically associated with lights, gifts, and the baby Jesus. Those things have their place, but Jesus wasn't born in Bethlehem so we could have a day off of work or a reason to buy each other gifts. He came to save us. Today's message looks at the root cause of Christmas - the fall of mankind into sin.

Today, I'm joined once again by the incredible Madeline Marlatt—and if you've heard our past conversations, you know it's always a deep, spirit-led ride. In this episode, we open up about our philosophy of birth: why we believe birth is not just physical, but spiritual… not just medical, but miraculous. We talk about the way God designed women, the importance of radical responsibility, and the deeper purpose woven into the birthing process. And—BIG NEWS—we're officially announcing something we've been dreaming into reality: our in-person retreat in Florida this September! It's going to be a sacred space for women who are ready to walk in truth, community, and boldness in their birth journeys. If your heart is leaping right now—you're not alone. This is going to be something really special. Add your name to the waitlist and be the first to know all the juicy details as they unfold.

The Cedar Bluff Baptist Church Choir presents the Christmas Cantata entitled "For He Alone Is Worthy" and Dr. Justin M. Hall preaches a Christmas sermon entitled "The Birth Announcement" from Luke 2:1-11.

Here's a revised version that's a bit longer but still concise: --- Pastor Caleb | December 15, 2024 | Sunday AM Service In this message, we explore the powerful birth announcement of Jesus and its impact on the world. The angel's message to Mary reveals that Jesus is not just a baby, but the Savior who came to change everything. His birth marks the beginning of God's great plan for salvation, bringing hope, peace, and transformation. As we reflect on His arrival, we're reminded that Jesus is more than a holiday figure—He is the Savior who calls us to follow Him and experience true, lasting change.

The Divine Birth Announcement, Isaiah 9:6-7

2:1 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed. 2:2 (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor of Syria.) 2:3 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. 2:4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage of David:) 2:5 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. 2:6 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. 2:7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn. 2:8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. 2:9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. 2:10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people. 2:11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. 2:12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger. 2:13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying, 2:14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men. 2:15 And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us. 2:16 And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. 2:17 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the saying which was told them concerning this child. 2:18 And all they that heard it wondered at those things which were told them by the shepherds. 2:19 But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart. 2:20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told unto them.

It was a night the shepherds would never forget. As they were watching their flocks near Bethlehem, an angel appeared. When he announced Jesus' birth, he spoke three of Jesus' names—names that are rich in meaning, and that communicate important truths about Him. What are those truths?

“Why didn't I know all this already?”        - Pretty much everyone who reads Toni Weschler's book  The stigma around women's reproductive systems isn't just an inconvenience, it removes a critical way women get insight into their bodies and health overall: period power.  The menstrual cycle tells us a whole lot more than if we're pregnant or not, or menopausal or not, says author Toni Weschler. Her seminal (oh, the irony of that adjective!) work, Taking Charge of Your Fertility, is all about understanding and taking charge of your reproductive health and being “cycle savvy.”  In this episode, Dr. Lora Shahine and Toni Weschler talk about the origin of this amazing work. (Hint: it has to do with women being really angry.) And despite the title, it's not all about helping people who are hoping to become pregnant. It's about, says the author, “teaching women on a day-to-day basis what is going on with their body on that day” and taking advantage of all the insights into your health charting your cycle can give you.    In this episode you'll hear: [00:00] Intro [02:26] What is ‘Taking Charge of Your Fertility' and why Toni ‘hates' the title [04:44] Toni's inspiration to write the book [09:50] The difference between the rhythm method and fertility awareness  [11:22] The 3 signs of fertility explained  [14:56] What the menstrual cycle can teach you about your health [18:51] Being a pioneer: How did Toni research for her book in 1990s? [26:31] The difficult process of pitching the book – lesson in rejection from Toni [36:30] The challenges of writing the book – Toni fought for her vision Fertility Story:  [41:21] Toni's ‘Birth Announcement' [42:23] The responsibility of ‘Taking Charge of Your Fertility' and what inspires Toni [44:42] Instagram Questions: Nikki: Is there another edition?

Why are the birth announcements regarding Jesus Christ so important? As we will discover in our study of Matthew 1:18-25, the announcement of Christ’s birth develops the devotion of His people in two compelling ways.

Luke 2:1-21 | Ben Potloff | As God the Son, having taken on human flesh, is born in a manger another glorious scene takes place and another pair of Advent witnesses is introduced. Lowly shepherds are met by heavenly angels who point the way to the birthplace of the long-awaited Savior. Luke continues to highlight the wonderful and mysterious happenings that show just how remarkable the coming of Christ is.MAIN IDEAThe birth in Bethlehem is reason to rejoice!OUTLINEI. The birth in Bethlehem was the fulfillment of a promise (vv. 1-7)II. The birth in Bethlehem was good news of great joy for all (vv. 8-21)

There are few things more precious and exciting than parents announcing the birth of their child! This birth announcement brings joy and jubilation to all who hear. This morning, we will explore how God announced the birth of His Son to Mary, how she responded, and how the impossible becomes possible through Him!
