Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost. Then Joseph her husband, being a just man, and not willing to make her a public example, was minded to put her away privily. But while he thought on these things, behold, the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying, Joseph, thou son of David, fear not to take unto thee Mary thy wife: for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Ghost. And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins. Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
Text Me Here!!!Anyone else feeling a little exhausted? Just me? Well good news, this is the week we get to soak it all in, The Christmas Spirit is knocking at our door ready to take over! So I hope you find time to take it all in this week!This morning we are going through Brother Webb's talk, and I learned that I really want to be a better teacher, but even more a better learner. I loved this talk. At first glance I wasn't sure how I'd feel about this, but after going through it and alongside the Teaching in The Savior's Way Manual, which spoiler alert, Brother Webb pulls from his entire talk, it was so eye opening!I hope I do it even a little justice, but mostly I hope that the Spirit can testify to you what you need to hear today. It did to me and I'm so grateful it did!Have a great day and a great week!*****Links: Brother Webb's Talk: https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/2025/10/22webb?lang=engAnother Great Talk from Brother Webb: https://www.byui.edu/speeches/commencements/chad-h-webb/scatter-the-cows-july-2025Teaching in The Savior's Way Manual: https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/manual/teaching-in-the-saviors-way-2022?lang=eng E-mail: munchandminglepodcast@gmail.com Insta: @munchandminglepodcast

Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him. When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him. And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born. And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet, And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel. Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared. And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also. When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was. When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.

Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall again, and called Jesus, and said unto him, Art thou the King of the Jews? Jesus answered him, Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did others tell it thee of me? Pilate answered, Am I a Jew? Thine own nation and the chief priests have delivered thee unto me: what hast thou done? Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence. Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.

Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens; A minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man.For every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices: wherefore it is of necessity that this man have somewhat also to offer.

The word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, that was the first year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; The which Jeremiah the prophet spake unto all the people of Judah, and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, From the thirteenth year of Josiah the son of Amon king of Judah, even unto this day, that is the three and twentieth year, the word of the LORD hath come unto me, and I have spoken unto you, rising early and speaking; but ye have not hearkened. And the LORD hath sent unto you all his servants the prophets, rising early and sending them; but ye have not hearkened, nor inclined your ear to hear. They said, Turn ye again now every one from his evil way, and from the evil of your doings, and dwell in the land that the LORD hath given unto you and to your fathers for ever and ever: And go not after other gods to serve them, and to worship them, and provoke me not to anger with the works of your hands; and I will do you no hurt. Yet ye have not hearkened unto me, saith the LORD; that ye might provoke me to anger with the works of your hands to your own hurt.Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Because ye have not heard my words, Behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, saith the LORD, and Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, and against all these nations round about, and will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and an hissing, and perpetual desolations.

In this episode of The Mountain Podcast, Samuel Goulet continues on week 5 on the theme of “Design & Purpose,” emphasizing that every believer is made to share Christ with others. Drawing from 2 Corinthians 5:11–21, he explains that receiving Christ naturally leads to giving Christ, and that the love of Jesus should be the controlling force in our lives, freeing us from fear, resentment, and selfishness. Samuel outlines five practical ways to live out this calling—intercession, evangelism, counsel, edification, and restoration—encouraging listeners to be active ministers of reconciliation, to build up and restore others, and to let the love of Christ mobilize them to serve and impact those around them.

Truth that Transforms (Cornerstone Community Church, Atascadero)
Main point: 1 Corinthians 14:1-19 describes three ways that God calls His people to use their spiritual gifts to promote edification of the church body, not personal glory.
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

What does this teach us about prophecy in the church?Prophecy existsNT Prophecy does not stand equally with the Scriptures.NT Prophecy is for: Edification & Strength, Conviction, Comfort, Bold ProclamationWe need to be extreme careful with the gift of prophecyEarnestly Desire Prophecy: 1 Corinthians 14:1 “Pursue love, and earnestly desire the spiritual gifts, especially that you may prophesy.” Because prophecy helps us understand the Lordship of Jesus more clearlyBecause prophecy is a good gift that God gives to bless His ChurchBecause prophecy is a way that we can be used by God in a meaningful waySo,Pray God would give you the gift of prophecyPray that God would give others the gift of prophecy for the building up of the churchPursue prophecy by prayerfully opening yourself up to receive the gift, with humble willingness to fail as you learn. Our church is a safe space.Remember the NT gift of prophecy is about Jesus, not you.

Smith Wigglesworth -edification through tongues by RealCUF
1 Corinthians 14:8-12 New King James Version 8 For if the trumpet makes an uncertain sound, who will prepare for battle? 9 So likewise you, unless you utter by the tongue words easy to understand, how will it be known what is spoken? For you will be speaking into the air. 10 There are, it may be, so many kinds of languages in the world, and none of them is without significance. 11 Therefore, if I do not know the meaning of the language, I shall be a foreigner to him who speaks, and he who speaks will be a foreigner to me. 12 Even so you, since you are zealous for spiritual gifts, let it be for the edification of the church that you seek to excel.

In this series we're going to study through the book of 1 Corinthians to deepen our spiritual maturity. All of us need to be more intentional with our spiritual growth. Paul, the author of this letter, will challenge us, just as he challenges the church at Corinth, to move into a deeper level of spiritual maturity.
In this sermon on Ephesians 4:25-32, we explored what it means to live out the radical transformation that comes from following Jesus. Using the metaphor of changing our wardrobe, we considered how putting off the "old self" and putting on the "new self" is not just about stopping bad behaviors, but about becoming something new—people who reflect the character of God. Paul's instructions are practical: don't lie, don't steal, don't gossip, don't let anger fester. But the heart of the message is that the gospel is not about mere behavior modification; it's about a deep, inner change that leads us to truthfulness, generosity, grace-filled speech, and forgiveness. We also looked at the danger of unresolved anger and how it can open the door to spiritual harm, and we ended with an invitation to seek freedom and healing in community.
