John 1:1-18 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through him, and without him not one thing came into being. What has come into being in him was life, and the life was the light of all people. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it. There was a man sent from God, whose name was John. He came as a witness to testify to the light, so that all might believe through him. He himself was not the light, but he came to testify to the light. The true light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world came into being through him; yet the world did not know him. He came to what was his own, and his own people did not accept him. But to all who received him, who believed in his name, he gave power to become children of God, who were born, not of blood or of the will of the flesh or of the will of man, but of God. And the Word became flesh and lived among us, and we have seen his glory, the glory as of a father's only son, full of grace and truth. (John testified to him and cried out, "This was he of whom I said, 'He who comes after me ranks ahead of me because he was before me.'") From his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace. The law indeed was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. No one has ever seen God. It is God the only Son, who is close to the Father's heart, who has made him known.

Join us for Day1 Episode 4214 as Rev. Jamie Butcher of Covenant Presbyterian Church in Atlanta brings a thoughtful and timely sermon titled “Praise Through the Haze.” Drawing on Psalm 148, Rev. Butcher explores how all creation is called to praise God, even amid disorientation, grief, and ecological loss. Preached on the First Sunday after Christmas, this message connects the wonder of the season with honest lament, eco-grief, and the hope of reorientation. With pastoral depth and theological insight, this sermon invites listeners to listen for praise beyond the noise.
Jacob and Aaron take a look at the readings for the First Sunday after Christmas Day, which are Isaiah 61:10-62:3, Galatians 3:23-25; 4:4-7, and John 1:1-18.
Jesus and his family become refugees in Egypt. The peaceful mangers we set up at home, or the almost-life-sized ones set up at the large church in our area, look so calm. But this text reminds us that there is a political dimension to Jesus' birth that enrages Herod. Jonathan and Seth discuss how it also is also an affront to the empires and the powerful today. They talk about why we don't hear this story more often, why Jesus' stint in Egypt might be glossed over by hymn sings, and why this newborn is political - like refugees, children, and the displaced today. We're glad you're with us! This episode hits your feed at a strange time because it is about the Sunday after Christmas, but is uploaded before Christmas. No matter when you listen, we hope your Christmas was/is joyful! And we will have another, shorter Christmas episode to listen to on Christmas Eve.
Send us a textJoin Fr. Aaron & Marissa Burt for this week's episode, in which they consider the readings for the first Sunday of Christmas: Isaiah 61:10-62:5; Psalm 147:12-20; Galatians 3:23-4:7; John 1:1-18. They discuss the garden & restoration imagery of Isaiah, the guardianship metaphors of Galatians, and the way God's glory is fully revealed in Jesus Christ.Notes:--Dwell App--Prayers of the People for Christmas--2019 Book of Common PrayerThe Bible ProjectChristmas: Season of Life and Light, by: Dr. Emily Hunter McgowinNT Wright's Galatians course1:00 Collect6:56 Isaiah 61:10-62:526:56 Psalm 147:12-2031:17 Galatians 3:23-4:745:31 John 1:1-18 Our outro music is an original song by our friend Dcn.

Send us a textIn Mark 7, Jesus confronts one of the most dangerous spiritual traps—hypocrisy. In this message, Pastor Andy challenges us to look beyond religious behaviors and examine the true posture of our hearts. Holiness isn't about what we avoid, but about who we love, surrender to, and become more like.

Homily from the First Sunday of Advent. The process is the point. When we are waiting, we often want to be "done". We want to be "there". We want our waiting to be over so that we can start living. But life happens right here and right now. And God is doing something right now. We do not simply endure waiting, we engage during the waiting. The declaration of faithful waiting is: I am confident that this moment is crucial. Mass Readings from November 30, 2025: Isaiah 2:1-5 Psalm 122: 1-9Romans 13:11-14 Matthew 24:37-44

Bishop Robert Barron’s Sermons - Catholic Preaching and Homilies
Friends, we come to the New Year celebration of the liturgical year: the First Sunday of Advent. This is the season of sacred waiting—four weeks of looking, hoping, and watching, with a kind of joyful anticipation, for the adventus (coming) of the Savior. If you're like me, you rather hate to wait. Yet waiting is all over the Bible, and at the heart of it is the painful process of decentering the ego.
