Podcasts about o come o come emmanuel

Today we will look at the theological depth of the Christmas carol “O Come O Come Emmanuel” through the lens of Matthew 1:22-23. We will focus on the understanding of “Immanuel” (God with us) and its significance in God's redemptive plan. Jesus, being fully God and fully man, came to rescue us from sin and adopt us into God's family. The incarnation shows us that we weren't created to serve a distant God but to walk with a loving Father. WATCH FULL SERVICE ON YOUTUBE DOWNLOAD PDF SERMON NOTES HERE

Mthr. Barbara discusses the history and theology of the Advent classic O Come O Come Emmanuel.

In this festive episode of Spellbreakers, host Matt Trump, Ph.D., celebrates the Christmas season with a special caroling episode. The show takes you on a musical journey, exploring the oldest known Christmas carols and their rich history, including O Come O Come Emmanuel and Silent Night. Matt reflects on the deep traditions of Christmas carols, blending sacred and secular songs to capture the holiday spirit. From the oldest hymn composed by Saint Hilary in the 4th century to modern renditions like "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," Matt shares personal stories and insights into the meaning of Christmas. Tune in for a joyful celebration of music, memories, and the true spirit of the season.

Dan digs into an old tradition that takes Christians up to Christmas and is the origin of our hymn "O Come O Come Emmanuel."

Ded Moroz ("Grandfather Frost"), went from folk tale to fairy tale, from beloved symbol of Christmas to exile, and then back to beloved symbol, all in surprisingly short order. It's a story of ups and downs, set against the backdrop of a violent social and political revolution, and which resulted in a strange stint as the “Soviet Santa Claus.” Karen Petrone, University of Kentucky history professor and author of Life Has Become More Joyous, Comrades, joins Brian to tell the story. Clara in Australia shares a Christmas memory in this episode.

Pastor Gary dives into the powerful lyrics of “O Come O Come Emmanuel” and marvels at the wonder of “God With Us” at Christmastime.

We're wrapping up our Advent sermon series "Christmas Playlist," and over this series, we have been exploring four familiar Christmas songs, not to unpack the songs themselves, but to learn the biblical meaning and significance of each. This week and we're focusing on "O Come O Come Emmanuel."We recognize that the word "Emmanuel" means God WITH us. When Jesus Christ, the Son of God, was born as a baby in Bethlehem, God truly came as close to us as he ever has and ever could. That's significant, not only at Christmas, but for our entire lives, and we'll be exploring that together.To learn more about us, visit www.braemarbaptist.com.

"We need God-with-us to fight off systems of injustice, to learn how to love our neighbors, and to enjoy this beautiful world that God has given us."How does 'Immanuel' inspire and empower you to work for justice in this world?//Isaiah 7:10-16Again the Lord spoke to Ahaz, saying, “Ask a sign of the Lord your God; let it be deep as Sheol or high as heaven.” But Ahaz said, “I will not ask, and I will not put the Lord to the test.” Then Isaiah said, “Hear then, O house of David! Is it too little for you to weary mortals that you weary my God also? Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Look, the young woman is with child and shall bear a son and shall name him Immanuel. He shall eat curds and honey by the time he knows how to refuse the evil and choose the good. For before the child knows how to refuse the evil and choose the good, the land before whose two kings you are in dread will be deserted.//This episode was written and recorded by Rev.

O Come O Come Emmanuel. Version by For King and Country.

We pause this Christmas season to remember that Christmas is a very very Israeli holiday. We'll look at prophecy, we'll look at the epistles, we'll tread the sacred ground quoted by Linus in "A Charlie Brown Christmas." O Come O Come Emmanuel, and ransom captive Israel! The Lord's birth is about the King coming to take the throne of his father David. We're in a pause at the moment, but that Kingdom will come!

1st Sunday in AdventWelcome to the season of Advent and our invitation from the Lord to awaken to the things that truly matter. Unfortunately, advent is one of the most difficult seasons to celebrate as it is overshadowed by Christmas sales and busyness. Some people will remain numb and victims of their own habitual behaviors because they do not want to face the reality of their lives. People are afraid to look at what is actually happening and the choices they are making. Many times people are afraid because of the countless times they have been disappointed. Yet, as we begin this new liturgical year, I invite you to pray for the courage to face the reality of your lives. I invite you to awaken to the deep spiritual truths of human existence. May this advent season bring greater self-awareness and renewal as God's people everywhere say, "O Come O Come Emmanuel."Scripture Reading for November 27, 2022Isaiah 2:1-5Psalm 122:1-9Romans 13:11-14Matthew 24:37-44

Week 1: O Come O Come Emmanuel by CBC of Savannah

When the Angel came to Mary to tell her she was pregnant with Jesus, she learned that the Lord God would give Jesus the throne of his father David. This was the beginning of many promises God was fulfilling through the birth of Jesus. This is Him We Proclaim with John Fonville and we are in the advent message called “The Offspring of David”. It's originally from a series called O Come O Come Emmanuel. We have a lot in store today on this topic of God's Promises to David.

In today's episode, Tara talks with singer/vocal coach Tiffany Van Boxtel all about training the voice and why it's so helpful to have a plan. We also discuss the value of one-on-one trainings and letting them be a foundation for all that we build on vocally. Tiffany's first love of music might be traced back to playing a monster game in elementary music where she got to express dynamics of music. And then she had her first solo volunteering to sing "O Come O Come Emmanuel”  for the Christmas program.   Tiffany originally wanted to be a choir teacher, but ended up being drawn to private voice teaching. “It's great there's free information out there but it really makes people think that they can do it themselves and it really sets them up for failure when they can't.” We chatted that people sometimes get freaked out by “formal training”. But having a one on one actual voice teacher is the way to be a solo singer  and improve yourself.   Tiffany said that the biggest thing that tends to stop people from taking voice is time and money! But she also talked about that being a professional singer requires you to have that time commitment and money to invest in your profession.   She talked about how focused technique training 10-15 minutes 3-4 days a week can really help singers get where they need to go! When people say they don't have time to practice, it's usually because they: Don't know what to practice or Don't know how to practice   When people don't get results, they usually don't want to train or keep training. Helping people get extra feedback and then helping them listen back on their own can be the key to guidance from a vocal teacher. Teachers can help them observe and notice what is going on in small concepts. Tiffany has her group called “The Star Singer Green Room” where people go through different stages of singing starting with a foundational stage.

These are the golden evenings of Advent, when the nights in the northern hemisphere stretch towards their longest and the light bends and turns to lengthen our days. Our waiting peaks to a crescendo as we yearn to welcome Christmas, the Christ child: our true light from the true light. Michael Morris leads us as we dwell in a treasure of the church: the hymn O Come O Come Emmanuel and their refrain, known as the O Antiphons, the lens through which we read Mary's Magnificat. Today: O Emmanuel.
