“He said to his men, ‘The Lord forbid that I should do this to my lord the king. I shouldn’t attack the Lord’s anointed one, for the Lord himself has chosen him.’ So David restrained his men and did not let them kill Saul.” (1 Samuel 24:6–7 NLT) After he was anointed king of Israel, David’s life reads like an adventure story. He didn’t assume the throne immediately. In fact, few people knew of his anointing at first. Saul, the acting king, struggled with mental illness. His servants suggested sending for a musician to play for the king to help ease his depression and fear. And guess who they chose? The youngest son of Jesse, from the O Little Town of Bethlehem. When David wasn’t playing therapy music for the king he’d been anointed to replace, he was running errands for his father. David’s three older brothers had joined Saul’s army to fight the Philistines. One day, Jesse sent David to take food to his brothers on the front line. There, David heard the giant Philistine warrior Goliath challenging the Israelite army. You probably know what happened next. David accepted the challenge, killed Goliath, and became a hero. Saul promoted David to military commander, in addition to his job as court musician. And God blessed David, so that he was successful in everything he did. It didn’t take long for Saul to become jealous. In fact, he tried to kill David by throwing a spear at him. (David escaped.) And by sending him on a suicide mission to collect the body parts of one hundred Philistines. (David returned with two hundred.) And by throwing another spear. (David escaped again.) David became best friends with Saul’s son Jonathan and married Saul’s daughter Michal. But they couldn’t protect him from their father’s wrath. So David fled. In desperation, he took matters into his own hands. He had a momentary lapse of faith and tried to hide in the city of Gath. The hometown of Goliath. A place teeming with Philistines. Apparently, David thought he could walk through the city and not be recognized. But he was a legend in his own time. Everybody knew who David was. He was immediately recognized and brought before the king. David realized he was in trouble, so he pretended to be insane. And his ploy worked. David fled to a cave known as Adullam. Some of his soldiers joined him there. And then one day, an amazing thing happened. King Saul, who was hunting David, walked into the cave alone to use the restroom. David and his men were hiding further back in the cave. David’s men saw it as a sign from God that David should kill Saul. That way, David wouldn’t have to fear for his life any longer. But David knew better. He understood that Saul had been God’s anointed one, so he refused to harm him. He left that to God. David prioritized God’s will even over his own life. Jesus faced a similar situation. On the night He was arrested, just hours before He would take the weight of the world’s sins on Himself and endure God’s wrath alone, Jesus prayed, “My Father! If it is possible, let this cup of suffering be taken away from me. Yet I want your will to be done, not mine” (Matthew 26:39 nlt). He, too, prioritized God’s will even over His own life. If you are a Christian, people are watching you to see if you prioritize God’s will. They are scrutinizing your every move. You should know they are not hoping you will be a godly witness. They are hoping you will slip up so they will have something on which to conveniently hang their doubts and beliefs. What kind of character do you have? Who are you in private? For all practical purposes, that is the real you. Reflection question: How can you recognize and prioritize God’s will in a given situation?

That’s what a Jewish attorney said to David after reading Jesus’ words from the cross, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” He reasoned that no Messiah would say that. What this attorney didn’t realize was that Jesus was quoting Psalm 22 which is one of the most compelling prophecies pointing to Jesus as Messiah! We kick of the podcast with this story. David Brickner of Jews For Jesus joins us with a conversation around his latest book, Does the Jewish Bible Point To Jesus: 12 Key Prophecies That Unfold God’s Plan. Also we hear the story of David making the case for Christ with the late Larry King of Larry King Live. Also David unpacks the first prophecy of a Messiah from Gen. 3:15. David shares his story of being raised in a family of Jews for Jesus and why he initially walked away from Him. And we talk about how vital it is to preach the love of God to ourselves. We hear about the hunger for Jesus that has emerged of out of the horror of October 7th 2023 in Israel. And how the carol, “O Little Town of Bethlehem” led to a world-wide movement to reach Jews for Jesus.

QUOTES FOR REFLECTION“Worry is a cycle of inefficient thoughts whirling around a center of fear.” “Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.”~Corrie Ten Boom (1892-1983), imprisoned for hiding Jews from the Nazis “Jesus Christ, the condescension of divinity, and the exaltation of humanity.”~Phillips Brooks (1835-1893), writer of “O Little Town of Bethlehem” “He, who first spoke through patriarchs and prophets, afterwards spoke in his own person…saying, therefore, ‘Now, in my own person, I speak of him of whom I spoke through the prophets.' The world could not hear him in his thundering, but may it hear him, at least, in his crying.”~St Jerome (c.342-420), theologian and Bible translator “The majesty of the Father is expressly imaged in the greatness of the power of the Son, that the one may be believed to be as great as the other…. So, the apostle delivered to us the continuity and eternity of that existence which the Only Begotten has of the Father, calling the Son ‘the brightness of God's glory.'”~Gregory of Nyssa (c.335-c.394), theologian and bishop “Therefore, he is true God, existing consubstantially with the true Father…. For he is the ‘very stamp' of the Father's ‘being,' and ‘light' from ‘light,' and the ‘power' and true ‘image' of the Father's substance.”~Athanasius (c.296-373), theologian and church leader from Alexandria, Egypt “‘You are no saint,' says the devil. Well, if I am not, I am a sinner, and Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners. Sink or swim, I go to Him; other hope, I have none.”~Charles Spurgeon (1834-1892), famed London preacher “He's got the whole world in His hands.”~Traditional African American spiritual, first published in 1927SERMON PASSAGEHebrews 1:1-4 (ESV) 1 Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, 2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. 3 He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, 4 having become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs.

O Little Town Of Bethlehem - 12-22-24 - Pastor Michael Mullings

Phillips Brooks wrote the lyrics to the beloved carol “O Little Town of Bethlehem” after visiting Bethlehem. Brooks, pastor of a church in the US, was so moved by his experience that he wrote this to his Sunday school students: “I remember . . . on Christmas Eve, when I was standing in the old church at Bethlehem, close to the spot where Jesus was born, when the whole church was ringing hour after hour with the splendid hymns of praise to God, how again and again it seemed as if I could hear voices that I knew well, telling each other of the ‘Wonderful Night’ of the Savior’s birth.” In 1868, Brooks put his thoughts into a poem, and his church organist set it to music. The song spoke stillness and peace into the unsettling aftermath of the American Civil War: “O little town of Bethlehem / How still we see thee lie . . . The hopes and fears of all the years / Are met in thee tonight.” The apostle Matthew wrote of our Savior’s birth in Bethlehem in Matthew 2. When the “Magi from the east” (v. 1) followed the star to Bethlehem (see Micah 5:2), “they were overjoyed” to find Jesus (Matthew 2:10). Today, as we celebrate Epiphany, we too need the glorious news of our Savior’s birth. He came to “cast out our sin and enter in” and “be born in us.” In Him, we find peace. Where in your life do you need the peace the Savior offers? What aspect of the Jesus’ story touches you most?

Using a portion of "O Little Town of Bethlehem" for a title, this sermon series focuses on how Jesus' arrival confirms many of humanity's hopes and fears.

Funeral service for Betty Jean Billings at Creekside Church, Monday, December 30th. Welcome & Prayer: Pastor Steve Smith Musical Selection: "Goodness of God" - Elizabeth Tenney Obituary: Meribeth Tenney Family Reflections: Ami Randazzo, Jesse Tenney, and Alana Gentosi Musical Selection: "O Little Town of Bethlehem" - Ayla and Eliana Gentosi Family Reflection: Michael Gentosi Musical Selection: "I Surrender All" - Lucia Randazzo Final Prayer: Pastor Steve Smith Betty Jean Billings was born February 11, 1934 in Albia, Iowa. She was a beautiful surprise to her parents, George and Elizabeth Stevenson, since her mom was 49 when Betty was born. She grew up loved and cherished by her parents and her four older siblings. Hazel, her older sister by 25 years, was a second mother to her. By the time of her graduation from Albia High School, Betty was dating the love of her life, Ron. In Albia, they were known as Babe and Betty Jean. Ron was two years older and enlisted in the Army during the Korean War. While Ron was on leave in December 1952, they planned a wedding in less than two weeks and were married December 26, 1952. Betty went home to Jesus on their 72nd anniversary. Betty moved to Des Moines for work while Ron was in the service and this is where they made their home following his discharge. Betty became trained as a stenographer and was adept at the lost art of shorthand. She worked for the state before she began working for the Rock Island Railroad, which later became the Chicago Northwestern. She worked for the railroad for over 30 years. Ron and Betty had two daughters, Ronda and Meribeth. Betty was a devoted mom, grandmother and great grandmother. She loved her son-in-laws as sons. She was happiest when we all could be together. She would do anything for each of us. Betty loved Jesus and her life was built around her faith. Early in their marriage, Ron and Betty began attending Central Gospel Chapel which later became Creekside Church. Betty's closest friends, her buddies, were a part of her church family. Betty made friends wherever she went. She started going to the YMCA and later began teaching water aerobics. Some very special friendships were made and this group continues to meet together. She only had four months at Kennybrook Village but had already made an impact with staff and residents. Betty loved the outdoors and being active. She loved to walk, to be in her swimming pool and, if you really wanted her to be happy, you would take her on a boat ride. She enjoyed waterskiing and snowskiing. Betty left this earth December 26, 2024. She will be deeply missed by her precious husband, Ron, Ronda and Rick Gentosi, Meribeth and Doug Tenney, 8 grandchildren, 12 great grandchildren and many nieces and nephews. A public visitation will be held on Monday, December 30, 2024, at Creekside Church (2743 82nd Pl, Urbandale, IA 50322) from 10:00 a.m. until 11:00 a.m., with a funeral service at 11:00 a.m. Interment will be held at Sunny Hill Cemetery, in Grimes, IA, following the luncheon. In lieu of flowers, memorials can be made to Creekside Church.

The Eve of the Nativity of our Lord Jesus Christ 24 December 2024 - 4 p.m. A Festival of Lessons and Carols Some early childhood Christmases in my native Ohio were spent at my aunt's home in Youngstown, where my father was born. His mother, Grandma Mary, was still on this side of heaven and holding forth from the kitchen, bracciole and hot sausages simmering in her pot. What I remember most after the smells, was the travel. An hour's drive in the snow and ice, my dad's hands flying from the wheel as he issued commentary on the evening, me braced between my younger sisters in adjoining car seats, and my mom pregnant with our next sister, calming us with songs of Judy Collins. All of us were draped with blankets, guarding us from the unreliable heat of an aging Volkswagen Rabbit.

The familiar carol "O Little Town of Bethlehem" may conjure up a serene view in our imaginations, but the prophecy it is derived from is less so. A people were up against a formidable foe and the certainty of exile. What good is a call to repentance and promise of far away king? The same could be asked of us as we too see rampant evil and no guarantee we will live to see it end. Listen to Pastor Brett's sermon on Micah 5:2-3 for more.

Today, on Karl and Crew, we examined the origins of the popular Christmas song "O Little Town of Bethlehem." It is a Christian hymn originally written for a children's Sunday School class in Philadelphia. It celebrates the extraordinary happening on an ordinary night. Our special guest was Susie Larson, best-selling author, speaker, and radio host. She and her husband shared about a unique opportunity to not only upgrade our mind and spirit into the New Year but help others do the same in an initiative called "Activate for Good." Also, it was Wednesday, so we enjoyed Ally Thinks It's Funny! Finally, we shared that Moody has several Christmas specials to enjoy, including the Karl and Crew Special.

Who doesn't love a parade? The very idea of a procession, usually involving costumes and music, is at least 4,000 years old. But grand parades to kick off the Christmas season are much newer. The kind we're most familiar with nowadays developed when large retail chains held parades to stimulate shopping and define a new, earlier start to the Christmas season. All that capitalism sounds very American, but — surprise! — Canada beat us to it!In today's episode, Clayton Charters, president and CEO of the Original Santa Claus Parade in Toronto, joins Brian.Watch the playback of the 2024 Santa Claus Parade on Youtube!Music in this Episode"Happy Christmas Day" — LudoSoundX, via Pixabay"I'm Not Feeling Well Today" — u_0tyyfec3hz, via Pixabay"O Little Town of Bethlehem" — Calvin Clavier, via Pixabay"Jazz Theme 5" — Erkki Marjasvaara, via PixabayConnect Facebook page Facebook group Instagram Bluesky Twitter / X Email: christmaspastpodcast@gmail.com Website BookChristmas Past: The Fascinating Stories Behind Our Favorite Holiday's Traditions makes a great gift for all the Christmas lovers in your life.

Songs of the Season: O Little Town of BethlehemMicah 5:1-5a1 Marshal your troops now, city of troops,    for a siege is laid against us.They will strike Israel's ruler    on the cheek with a rod.2 “But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah,    though you are small among the clans of Judah,out of you will come for me    one who will be ruler over Israel,whose origins are from of old,    from ancient times.”3 Therefore Israel will be abandoned    until the time when she who is in labor bears a son,and the rest of his brothers return    to join the Israelites.4 He will stand and shepherd his flock    in the strength of the Lord,    in the majesty of the name of the Lord his God.And they will live securely, for then his greatness    will reach to the ends of the earth.5 And he will be our peace    when the Assyrians invade our land    and march through our fortresses.Luke 2:1-71 In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. 2 (This was the first census that took place while[a] Quirinius was governor of Syria.) 3 And everyone went to their own town to register.4 So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. 5 He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. 6 While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, 7 and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son.

In this second episode of the Good Faith Advent series, Curtis Chang is joined by Good Faith contributor and author Andy Crouch to explore the true meaning of the peace promised by Jesus' coming.
