This time of year, I am inclined to redouble my efforts to get rid of stuff, even as the inevitable “cheer” of the season will increase – at least temporarily – the number of objects and the amount of clutter in my abode. I often take a walk through my mystery drawers, of which I have two prominent ones.
As we wrap up the Heroes series and stand on the edge of a new year, Ps Ants explores the powerful yet often overlooked stories of Simeon and Anna in Luke 2:21–40. In a world that craves instant results, this message speaks to the tension of waiting — unanswered prayers, delayed outcomes, and seasons that feel stuck. Ps Ants reminds us that many of our disappointments with God come not from broken promises, but from expectations God never made. God never promised quick fixes — He promised His presence. Simeon and Anna show us that waiting doesn't weaken faith; it forms it. This message invites us to discover how waiting becomes holy when we realise God has been with us all along, doing His deepest work in us. Perfect for anyone stepping into a new year carrying hope, disappointment, or questions about faith.

As Jesus continued in His High Priestly prayer to His Heavenly Father, He prayed specifically for HIs disciples. Pastor Al Dagel brings this emphasis to us today.

Zech 10:1-11:17, Rev 18:1-24, Ps 146:1-10, Pr 30:33
A kinsman of the Apostle Paul, the Holy Stephen was one of the seven deacons (with Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas and Nicolas) first appointed by the Church to minister to the people; and it pleased God to receive him as the Church's first Martyr for Christ. Read the long, beautiful and edifying account of his witness in the Acts of the Apostles, chapters 6-8. When Stephen, "full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people," (Acts 6:8), some members of a synagogue in Jerusalem came to dispute with him and, enraged by his proclamation of Christ, stoned him to death. In his death St Stephen revealed Christ's erasure of the boundary between heaven and earth, and the new communion between man and God: his face shone with the light of the Transfiguration, and he was granted a vision of Christ enthroned at the Father's right hand. His dying words were "Lord, lay not this sin to their charge" (Acts 7:60). According to holy tradition, the martyrdom of St Stephen occurred exactly a year after the descent of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost. His body was taken and secretly buried by Gamaliel, a member of the Sanhendrin and secretly a Christian. Saint Stephen's relics were discovered by the priest Lucian in 415 following a vision. They were translated to the church built for them in Jerusalem by the Empress Eudocia, and later taken to Constantinople. The Saint's missionary speech before his death (like that of the deacon St Philip to the Ethiopian eunuch) reminds us that those appointed to serve the Church materially are not barred, or even excused, from proclaiming the glorious Gospel of Christ.
You might not be able to stop all injustice in the world, but you can make it worse. Social media feeds on Christmas this year have shown arguments over whether Jesus was Palestinian or Israeli, an issue that shouldn't matter because of what happened after his birth and considering what he taught. Another popular video shows a Christmas tree with people hanging off of its branches and a caption about Muslims destroying a Christian tradition. The video, of course, was from 2016 and shows a mall event in Cairo, Egypt. Furthermore, since when is a Christmas tree a Christian symbol? Also, isn't Christmas a holy day, and wasn't the sun created by God? Why are holidays and the winter solstice considered heathen? Tonight's special Friday show will explore this along with the 2025 words of the year and top 20 conspiracies.*The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

Isaiah 6:1-4 (from the Archive)New Living Translation6 It was in the year King Uzziah died that I saw the Lord. He was sitting on a lofty throne, and the train of his robe filled the Temple. 2 Attending him were mighty seraphim, each having six wings. With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they flew. 3 They were calling out to each other,“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of Heaven's Armies! The whole earth is filled with his glory!”4 Their voices shook the Temple to its foundations, and the entire building was filled with smoke.Music: "Rest in the Shadow" by Julian & Melissa Wiggins,Used with permission.

I am Your Son, forever just as You created me, for the Great Rays remain forever still and undisturbed within me. I would reach to them in silence and in certainty, for nowhere else can certainty be found. Peace be to me, and peace to all the world. In holiness were we created, and in holiness do we remain. Your Son is like to You in perfect sinlessness. And with this thought we gladly say “Amen.”- Jesus Christ in ACIM

Share a commentA birth announcement shook the night sky and reset history: a child in Bethlehem who is Savior, Messiah, and Lord. We walk through Gabriel's lightning-fast message, the sheer scope of the angelic host, and the quiet courage of a young woman who said yes to God, even when it meant being misunderstood for life. Along the way, we connect the temple, the throne of David, and the promise of a kingdom without end to the gritty, hopeful ground of daily faith.We start with the contrast between human breakthroughs in communication and a form of delivery that never fails—messages sent by angels. From there, we linger with Mary as Gabriel speaks two powerful currents into her life: grace and greatness. Grace means undeserved favor; greatness means God's unstoppable plan. Mary's honest question about how a virgin can conceive meets a temple-shaped answer: the Spirit will overshadow her, as glory once filled the Holy of Holies. That image reframes us, too—believers become living temples who carry Christ into ordinary spaces with purpose and humility.Then the fields around Bethlehem come alive. Likely temple shepherds, charged with raising lambs for sacrifice yet barred from worship as unclean, hear first. Gabriel's announcement is precise and bold: the Deliverer has come, the Anointed King stands in David's line, and this child is God incarnate. Born for you. Not for angels—for people on the margins, for the devout in the temple, for anyone ready to receive grace. The Creator who once wrapped the universe in darkness now lies wrapped in swaddling clothes, and the Father fills the sky with a choir no earthly parent could hire.The closing challenge lands close to home: angels announced, but now we advance. If we carry Christ, then we carry his message—clearly, kindly, and courageously. Listen, reflect, and share the hope: Jesus is Savior, Messiah, and Lord.

Durante todo o mês de dezembro, vcs ouviram histórias sobre algumas das maiores religiões do mundo e outras amplamente praticadas no Brasil. Vcs conheceram alguns aspectos do protestantismo (evangélicos), judaísmo, islamismo, hinduísmo, budismo, espiritismo, além das religiões afro-brasileiras candomblé e umbanda. Hoje, no dia de Natal, eu encerro esse especial sobre religiões com um livro que faz uma releitura luminosa e terna da história do Natal para os cristãos: "Holy night and Little Star", ou "A Noite Santa e a Pequena Estrela", escrito por Mitali Perkins, ilustrado por Khoa Le e ainda não publicado no Brasil, por isso eu traduzi e adaptei especialmente pra esse episodio. De acordo com maior parte dos historiadores, a festividade do Natal originalmente era destinada a celebrar o nascimento anual do Deus Sol no solstício de inverno, mas foi ressignificada pela Igreja Católica no século III para estimular a conversão dos povos pagãos sob o domínio do Império Romano e então passou-se a comemorar o nascimento de Jesus de Nazaré. Embora tradicionalmente seja um dia santificado cristão (sendo o cristianismo a maior religião do mundo), o Natal é amplamente comemorado por muitos não cristãos e alguns de seus costumes populares e temas comemorativos têm origens pré-cristãs ou seculares. A Pequena Estrela gosta do seu lugar habitual no céu noturno sobre Belém. Todas as noites, ela cintila acima das colinas e espera que nada mude. Mas uma noite, o Criador reúne a galáxia! A Noite Santa está chegando, e o Criador quer que os planetas, a Lua e as estrelas participem. Enquanto o Criador distribui tarefas, a Pequena Estrela hesita, pois cada nova função parece muito difícil ou assustadora. Mas quando o Criador finalmente a chama para brilhar, a Pequena Estrela descobre que está pronta e capaz de receber a Criança e se junta às outras estrelas e planetas na celebração.Para acompanhar a história juntamente com as ilustrações do livro, compre o livro aqui: https://amzn.to/3XUkopHSe vc gostou desse especial sobre as religiões, deixe seu comentário aqui no Spotify, compartilhe com seus amigos e me siga nas redes sociais: https://www.instagram.com/bookswelove_livrosqueamamos/Independente da sua crença, ou ainda se vc é ateu ou agnóstico, eu desejo a vc e sua família um Feliz Natal, com muito amor, paz e momentos felizes.

What is the Jewish response to existential threat? Is political activism, investment in physical security and self protection the Jewish response? Is increased prayer and good deeds enough, to the exclusion of all else?Using the biblical record of Yaakov's response to Esav in his moment of danger, the Purim story, and the Lubavitcher Rebbe's response to the 1954 massacre in Kfar Chabad, we explore when it is a time to grieve, when it is a time to pray, and when it is a time to mobilize to confront the realities of our world.Episode dedicated to the Refuah Sheleima, the complete healing, of Yehudah Leib Ben Manya._____To inquire about sponsorship & advertising opportunities, please email us at info@humanandholy.comTo support our work, visit humanandholy.com/sponsor.Find us on Instagram @humanandholy & subscribe to our channel to stay up to date on all our upcoming conversations ✨Human & Holy podcast is available on all podcast streaming platforms.
