Podcasts about christmas eve december

This first episode of the Advent Podcast features Rev. Dr. Joseph McBrayer, Associate Pastor of Connection & Digital Ministry reading parts of Week 1 of the Advent Devotional Guide for 2025. The Advent Podcast will come out each Tuesday in December. Each week one of our pastors will read through a portion of the “Starry Nights” Advent Devotional Guide including scripture, prayers, musings on stars and the night sky, and more. Advent is a season of waiting, watching, and wonder. Not like “waiting in line,” but rather like waiting for a concert to begin, a love letter to arrive, or the stars to come out on a cold, clear night. A time of anticipation, expectation, and excitement. A time of renewing our hope, peace, joy, and love, getting ready for the marvel on the way. Journey along together this Advent (the season leading up to Christmas) by utilizing the Advent Devotional Guide.

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.

//The Wire//Christmas Eve, December 24, 2024////SPECIAL REPORT////BLUF: SANTA DEPARTS NORTH POLE FOR HIS ANNUAL TRIP AROUND THE WORLD.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Greenland: This afternoon US military forces stationed at Pituffik Space Base detected Santa's sleigh as he departed the North Pole this evening. Due to Santa's extreme speed, Canada picked Santa up on radar a few moments later, as he flew south over the Arctic Circle.New Jersey: Santa has been given special clearance to fly through the no-fly-zones, to carry out his mission of delivering toys to all the good children around the world.As a reminder, Santa cannot deliver presents to children who are still awake, so it would be a good idea to go to sleep a little early tonight, just in case. 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/

Christmas at Istrouma

Christmas at Istrouma

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.

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.
