Dr. Brian Hill (Senior Pastor), "A Study of Philippians:  Nothing Compares to Jesus", Handbells, Children's Time, Choir, Blended Worship Praise Team (8:45 Service).          1.  Further, my brothers and sisters, rejoice in the Lord! It is no trouble for me to write the same things to you again, and it is a safeguard for you.  2.  Watch out for those dogs, those evildoers, those mutilators of the flesh.  3.  For it is we who are the circumcision, we who serve God by his Spirit, who boast in Christ Jesus, and who put no confidence in the flesh—  4.  though I myself have reasons for such confidence.           If someone else thinks they have reasons to put confidence in the flesh, I have more:  5.  circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; in regard to the law, a Pharisee;  6.  as for zeal, persecuting the church; as for righteousness based on the law, faultless.          7.  But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ.  8.  What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ   9.  and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith.  10.  I want to know Christ—yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death,  11.  and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead.          (Philippians 3:1-11 NIV)

Dr.  Brian Hill (Senior Pastor), "An Advent Series:  Through the Eyes of Joseph and Mary". Handbells, Choir, Blended Worship Praise Team (8:45 Service).       18.  This is how the birth of Jesus the Messiah came about: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit.  19.  Because Joseph her husband was faithful to the law, and yet did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce her quietly.       20.  But after he had considered this, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit.  21.  She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins.”       22.  All this took place to fulfill what the Lord had said through the prophet:  23.  “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel”(which means “God with us”).       24.  When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife. 25.  But he did not consummate their marriage until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus.       Matthew 1:18-25 (NIV)       26  In the sixth month of Elizabeth's pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee,  27.  to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin's name was Mary.  28.  The angel went to her and said, “Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.”       29.  Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be.  30.  But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God.  31.  You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus.  32.  He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David,  33.  and he will reign over Jacob's descendants forever; his kingdom will never end.”       34.  “How will this be,” Mary asked the angel, “since I am a virgin?”       35.  The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called[ the Son of God.  36.  Even Elizabeth your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be unable to conceive is in her sixth month.  37.  For no word from God will ever fail.”       38.  “I am the Lord's servant,” Mary answered. “May your word to me be fulfilled.” Then the angel left her.       Luke 1:26-38  (NIV)

And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”          Matthew 28:18-20 (NIV)

Dr. Brian Hill (Senior Pastor), "What Do I Need to Pick Up?", Handbells, Baptism, Children's Time, Choir (8:45 Service). 1.  Some time later God tested Abraham. He said to him, “Abraham!”  “Here I am,” he replied.  2.  Then God said, “Take your son, your only son, whom you love—Isaac—and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on a mountain I will show you.”3.  Early the next morning Abraham got up and loaded his donkey. He took with him two of his servants and his son Isaac. When he had cut enough wood for the burnt offering, he set out for the place God had told him about.  4.  On the third day Abraham looked up and saw the place in the distance.  5.  He said to his servants, “Stay here with the donkey while I and the boy go over there. We will worship and then we will come back to you.”6.  Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and placed it on his son Isaac, and he himself carried the fire and the knife. As the two of them went on together,  7.  Isaac spoke up and said to his father Abraham, “Father?”  “Yes, my son?” Abraham replied.  “The fire and wood are here,” Isaac said, “but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?”  8.  Abraham answered, “God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son.” And the two of them went on together.9.  When they reached the place God had told him about, Abraham built an altar there and arranged the wood on it. He bound his son Isaac and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood.  10.  Then he reached out his hand and took the knife to slay his son. 11 But the angel of the Lord called out to him from heaven, “Abraham! Abraham!”  “Here I am,” he replied.12.  “Do not lay a hand on the boy,” he said. “Do not do anything to him. Now I know that you fear God, because you have not withheld from me your son, your only son.”13.  Abraham looked up and there in a thicket he saw a ram caught by its horns. He went over and took the ram and sacrificed it as a burnt offering instead of his son.  14.  So Abraham called that place The Lord Will Provide. And to this day it is said, “On the mountain of the Lord it will be provided.”15.  The angel of the Lord called to Abraham from heaven a second time  16.  and said, “I swear by myself, declares the Lord, that because you have done this and have not withheld your son, your only son,  17.  I will surely bless you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will take possession of the cities of their enemies,  18.  and through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed me.”          Genesis 22:1-8

They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead.  31.  A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side.  32.  So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.  33.  But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him.  34.  He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him.  35.  The next day he took out two denarii and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Look after him,' he said, ‘and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.'36.  “Which of these three do you think was a neighbor to the man who fell into the hands of robbers?”37.  The expert in the law replied, “The one who had mercy on him.”       Jesus told him, “Go and do likewise.”            (Luke 10:25-37 NIV)

Joan Hutchinson is a ringer variously of Smith College, Boston, Philadelphia, New Hampshire, Smith College, Minnesota, and Colorado. While Joan has plenty of tower experience, Whitechapel Handbells are her first ringing love.We discuss ringing in hand and in tower, starting and maintaining groups associated with schools and universities, and the movement of sets of handbells around the continent.Joan briefly worked with Bill Theobald, of Whitechapel--previous guests Linda Woodford (episode 014) and Sidney Kirkpatrick (episode 026) also worked with Bill, and share stories of his mentorship. Likewise, Joan's story crosses paths with both Sarah Moriarty (episode 008) and Marj Winter (episode 018 and episode 020) through Smith College.These days, Joan can be found ringing with the Minneapolis handbell band, thanks to Ringing Room. (Stan's ringing a bit, too, but may be too busy inventing new puzzles and methods with Mark Davies, of episode 031.)Thank you, friends.
