Let Earth Receive Her King: Christmas Eve - December 24th 2024 by Gospel Centered Mission Focused
A sermon by the Very Rev. Sam Candler on Christmas Eve (December 24, 2024) at the Episcopal Cathedral of St. Philip, Atlanta
Listen to our Christmas Eve message!
In this Christmas Eve sermon, Pastor Tritten talks about the songs we sing at Christmas. They are ways that we treasure and ponder Christmas, as Mary treasured and pondered the events of the night Jesus was born. The songs of the world focus us in one way, but the songs of the church focus us on Jesus and different ways His birth impact us as we celebrate His birth.

But before bedtime, those who wish to track Santa as he continues on his journey can do so at the website: www.noradsanta.org-----END TEARLINE-----Analyst Comments: Regular reporting will resume after the holiday, on December 27th. May everyone around the world have a Merry Christmas, celebrating Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men!Analyst: S2A1//END REPORT/
We finish our Christmas series examining something Mary did upon hearing the shepherd's report about an angelic visitation. It says she pondered all the things surrounding the birth of Jesus. Pondered is idea of putting all the pieces together like a puzzle. Now think, Jesus is now born and all the pieces come together in her mind. The same holds true for a person who chooses to follow Christ. When Jesus is born again in us, the puzzle pieces of our life come together because Jesus is the missing piece that completes the puzzle.———————————————————————————————Gather your church essentials here for notes, prayer, events, etc:https://nbcc.com/churchessentialsConnect with us on Social Media:Website: nbcc.com/Facebook: facebook.com/nbccnorcoInstagram: instagram.com/nbccnorcoYouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6S-3n9PVnXm8zSPHAYVyGw----------------------------------------If you have any prayer requests or questions, please message us on our social media or send us an email at hello@nbcc.com.

La Porta | Renungan Harian Katolik - Daily Meditation according to Catholic Church liturgy
Delivered by Father Peter Tukan, SDB from Salesian Don Bosco Gerak in the Diocese of Labuan Bajo, Indonesia. Isaiah 9: 1-6; Rs psalm 96: 1-2.2-3.11-12.13; Timothy 2: 11-14; Luke 2: 1-14 THE BIRTH OF THE PRINCE OF PEACE Our meditation on this Christmas Eve celebration has the theme: The Birth of the Prince of Peace. At that time the night was dark. People's activities stopped and they stayed quiet in their houses. In that silent night there was only certain little lights in the houses of the people that broke the darkness of the world. Only a few people who still moved and walked during the night. Among these were the herdsmen in the wilderness. They must guard their flock. But there was one unusual activity, which was quite a long trip, about 150 kilometres uphill journey from the Judean region to Jerusalem, especially to a small town named Bethlehem. The trip was made by a young couple, a husband and his wife, they were Joseph and Mary. This woman was pregnant and near to give birth to their first and only Child. Upon arriving in the designated town, they did not find a place for the wife to give birth. They were forced to look for a place outside the city, and they had to walk about 10 kilometres more at night. Then they arrived in a place available where they found an animals' stable there. Then there was the first Christmas: Jesus Christ was born. In Bethlehem, still in the middle of dark night, the shepherds were on one hill. While Joseph, Mary and baby Jesus were on another hill. The distance between the two hills is about 5-6 kilometres. As you shout on top of your voice from one hill, you can be heard over another hill. One who stands on one hill he is best looked like a stick. Moreover, the night was so dark and there was no light in the birth stable. There were practically no signs that could remind the shepherds of what was happening. But the Heaven opened their hearts through the news of the angels. Then they one by one with their animals rushed to the stable. Then there was the first revelation of Christmas: Jesus appeared to people who were very simple and considered sinners, namely the herdsmen. The first revelation of the Son of God, Jesus Christ, when entering the history of this world is to his parents Joseph and Mary. They were specially chosen by God, although they remained simplest and so obedient to God in an extraordinary way. The second revelation is to the shepherds, who were also known to be the poorest in the society, modest and sinful. In their company were the animals representing the world and its inhabitants. After these, the Lord reveals Himself to everyone and all of us. The peace of Christmas is a heavenly light which is the presence of the Son of God who breaks the darkness of night. This true message of Christmas reaches the life of families, encounters the simple ones, poor, sinners, and finally spreads joy to the whole world. Merry Christmas to all of you. Let's pray. In the name of the Father ... O Lord Jesus Christ, we hope that this Christmas Eve celebration will fill us with true peace from You, that can lead our lives every day. Our Father who art in heaven ... In the name of the Father ...

CURRENT SERMON SERIES: "Ancient Vinyl" Before the popular Christmas hits of Mariah Carey, Bing Crosby, Wham, and Band Aid ever made the airwaves, some of the most revolutionary and inspiring songs were written by a handful of prophets and poets about a messiah who would come to his people and redeem the world. None of their songs ever topped the charts back in their day, but 2000 years later, those ancient songs are more prophetic and hopeful than ever. Each sings about an ever-faithful God, a world in deep turmoil, a people desperate for peace, and a savior who will come to redeem all creation. In this series, we'll play some ancient vinyl and listen once again to the five timeless tunes that once changed the world—and continue to change it even still. December 3: The Magnificat (Luke 1:46-55) December 10: The Benedictus (Luke 1:68-79) December 17: The Surge Illuminare (Isaiah 60:1-3, 11a, 14c, 18-19) December 24: The Gloria in Excelsis (Luke 2:8-14) (Christmas Eve) December 31: The Nunc Dimittis (Luke 2:22-25)

All-important arrivals carry with them much impact. I can think back to each of my six Grandchildren's birth and the joy and impact they had on my and my wife's life. One thing that happened was, there arrival impacted my home. I thought we were ready to get rid of things and streamline our lives. Well, that plan went out the window. The arrival of the Grandkids brought with it high chairs, baby walkers, a crib, a baby swing, an outdoor swing…do I need to say more. And we just added our second high chair in our dining room. Yup, the arrival of these munchkins has had quite the impact in our lives. As we finish off our Christmas series we will see how the arrival of Jesus impacted people in different ways.
