What was Mary actually "pondering" in her heart?. It was more than just maternal feelings; it was a deep understanding of God's mercy and His sovereign reign.

Join us as we trace the faithfulness of God from the genealogies of the Old Testament to the humble feeding trough of the Messiah.

Zechariah his father, filled with the Holy Spirit, prophesied, saying:“Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel;for he has come to his people and set them free.He has raised up for us a mighty Savior,born of the house of his servant David.Through his prophets he promised of oldthat he would save us from our enemies,from the hands of all who hate us.He promised to show mercy to our fathersand to remember his holy covenant.This was the oath he swore to our father Abraham:to set us free from the hand of our enemies,free to worship him without fear,holy and righteous in his sightall the days of our life.You, my child, shall be called the prophet of the Most High,for you will go before the Lord to prepare his way,to give his people knowledge of salvationby the forgiveness of their sins.In the tender compassion of our Godthe dawn from on high shall break upon us,to shine on those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death,and to guide our feet into the way of peace.”

This is your invitation to pause amid the hustle, breathe, and let Scripture minister to you.

And He came to redeem you. In This Episode You'll Experience: ✨ A guided Lectio Divina using Luke 1:68–75 ✨ Questions to help you recognize what the Holy Spirit is highlighting ✨ A moment to breathe, reflect, and receive God's love ✨ A reminder that Jesus came so you could serve Him without fear, clothed in His righteousness ✨ A peaceful way to prepare your heart for Christmas Day Scripture Read: Luke 1:68–75 (NIV) Reflection Prompts for Your Quiet Time: What word, phrase, or verse stood out to you?

What invitation is the Lord extending to you this Christmas? Resources & Next Steps:

In this sermon we continue our Advent series around the question of how can a weary world rejoice? We talk about Mary's song the magnificat, the history that precedes it in the Bible, what it means to sing even imperfectly of God's goodness because you never know what will come of it, and all this with help from the story of how Leonard Cohen's song "Hallelujah" came to be in existence. May we encounter the crucified Christ raised from the dead in these words.

After 9 months (or more) of long silence, when Zechariah's voice was finally restored, the overflow of his heart was to glorify the Lord. The gospel can overflow our own hearts, not only in a specific season or a special day, but all year long, and every day of our lives. What is overflowing from our hearts this Christmas? It's a good question, a question that the good news of Jesus, our Messiah, can help us answer without fear.

Send me a Text Message!In this episode, we are going to talk about favor. That's an interesting word isn't it? Favor. It's used multiple times in the Christmas stories. When we think of the word favor, it's usually used in a sentence like this, "Hey would you do me a favor?" When we ask someone to do us a favor we're saying, "You don't owe me. I don't necessarily deserve this, haven't earned it, but I'm wondering if you would do it anyway. Do me a favor." Often that's the question behind our prayers is, "God would you please do me a favor." The Dictionary suggests that favor is kindness beyond what is due or usual. It makes me think that perhaps the a good two word description of Christmas is "God's Favor." As we take a peak at Mary the mother of Jesus, we can pray, "God would you do me a favor?" 

Welcome to the Daily Disciple Podcast. As daily disciples, we seek to adore and follow Jesus, our teacher, into the abundant life that he offers. Because we find Jesus irresistible, fascinating, and incredibly practical, we want to be students of his scripture. Today's episode is found in Luke 1 "This Happened."

When the time arrived for Elizabeth to have her childshe gave birth to a son.Her neighbors and relatives heardthat the Lord had shown his great mercy toward her,and they rejoiced with her.When they came on the eighth day to circumcise the child,they were going to call him Zechariah after his father,but his mother said in reply,“No. He will be called John.”But they answered her,“There is no one among your relatives who has this name.”So they made signs, asking his father what he wished him to be called.He asked for a tablet and wrote, “John is his name,”and all were amazed.Immediately his mouth was opened, his tongue freed,and he spoke blessing God.Then fear came upon all their neighbors,and all these matters were discussedthroughout the hill country of Judea.All who heard these things took them to heart, saying,“What, then, will this child be?For surely the hand of the Lord was with him.”

Christmas has been buried under sentiment, tradition, and fantasy. Many celebrate a baby but reject a King. We must tell the truth about Christmas- not a myth, not consumerism, not nostalgia. Christmas is God entering history to save sinners. Bible teaching by Alex Vaca on the 21st December 2025.

Mary said:“My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord;my spirit rejoices in God my savior.for he has looked upon his lowly servant.From this day all generations will call me blessed:the Almighty has done great things for me,and holy is his Name.He has mercy on those who fear himin every generation.He has shown the strength of his arm,and has scattered the proud in their conceit.He has cast down the mighty from their thronesand has lifted up the lowly.He has filled the hungry with good things,and the rich he has sent away empty.He has come to the help of his servant Israelfor he remembered his promise of mercy,the promise he made to our fathers,to Abraham and his children for ever.”Mary remained with Elizabeth about three monthsand then returned to her home.

2025-12-21 -Christmas- "Solution to Every Problem" -Luke 1:26-38 by Imperial Berean

mark 16; luke 1

Mary: The Lord's Servant | Luke 1:26–56 Christmas is not primarily about how we find God—it's about how God finds us. In this Advent message by Preaching Minister Gordon Dabbs, Ph.D., we step into the story of Mary, a young woman from an unremarkable town who became part of the greatest story ever told. Through humor, Scripture, and thoughtful reflection, this sermon explores how God works through ordinary lives, unlikely circumstances, and simple obedience. Mary didn't have impressive credentials—but she had a willing heart. And when she said, “I am the Lord's servant,” history changed. If you've ever felt overlooked, underqualified, confused, or unsure whether God could work through you, this message is for you. Advent reminds us that God doesn't rescue the world from a distance—He comes near.

In this sermon, pastor Chad Hendley helps us see Christmas afresh, through the eyes of Mary, God's chosen vessel for a special task. How can we prepare room for Jesus in our lives, too?

Pastor Mac provides a topical teaching of Luke CH 1:46-55 focusing on verses 46-49 in regards to Mary's response in praising the Lord, after receiving word from the angel Gabriel that what would be conceived in her, would be the Son of the living God!  We will examine how this young girl expresses a seasoned faith that every Christian should consider, as well as how each believer should be more than bold during this time of year to proclaim and explain the significance of the greatest conception known to man for the redemption for all of mankind.      Social MediaProphecy Website: http://JDFarag.orgMobile & TV Apps: https://subsplash.com/calvarychapelkaneohe/appChurch Website: http://www.calvarychapelkaneohe.comX: https://x.com/JDFaragFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/JDFaragInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/JDFarag
