The discourse presented herein delves into the intricate tapestry of Christmas traditions as observed across various strands of the Christian faith. Central to our dialogue is the exploration of how these traditions have evolved, as well as their significance in contemporary society. Our esteemed guests, Father Jonathan Resmini, Pastor Dr. Peter Beck, and Professor Chris Moreland, each representing distinct theological perspectives, contribute their insights on the historical context and contemporary practices surrounding Christmas celebrations. As we traverse the past, present, and future of these traditions, we aim to elucidate the shared values that unite us amidst our diverse practices. Ultimately, this episode serves as a reflection on the essence of Christmas, encouraging a deeper understanding and appreciation of the varied ways in which we commemorate this sacred season within the Christian community. The conversation delves into the historical evolution of Christmas celebrations within various Christian traditions, critically examining how the observance has transformed over the centuries. The speakers engage in a rich dialogue about the origins of Christmas, contrasting early Christian practices that prioritized Easter over Christmas, with the later incorporation of festive elements that are now commonplace. They scrutinize the commercialization of the holiday, probing the extent to which secular influences have overshadowed the spiritual significance of Christmas. Furthermore, the episode invites listeners to consider how different denominations observe the holiday, highlighting the diversity of practices while also identifying a shared commitment to honoring the birth of Christ. This examination not only illuminates the complexities of Christmas traditions but also serves as a call to unity among Christians in celebrating the season's profound meaning. In this episode, we confront the contemporary challenges faced by Christians during the Christmas season, particularly the pervasive grumpiness and discontent that often accompanies the holiday festivities. The speakers reflect on their personal experiences with the commercialization of Christmas, lamenting how materialism can detract from the spirit of giving and compassion that should characterize this time of year. They advocate for a return to the foundational values of joy, community, and shared humanity that Christmas embodies, emphasizing the importance of fostering genuine connections with others. The discussion culminates in a call to action, encouraging listeners to engage with individuals from different Christian backgrounds, share stories, and participate in charitable endeavors that reflect the true essence of the season. By doing so, they argue, we can cultivate a more profound sense of unity and purpose that transcends denominational divides, ultimately embodying the spirit of Christmas in our daily lives.Takeaways:Christmas traditions have evolved significantly over the centuries, reflecting diverse theological perspectives across denominations.The importance of community and charity during the Christmas season is emphasized in various Christian traditions.Despite differences in practice, all denominations can find common ground in the celebration of Christ's birth.Understanding the historical context of Christmas celebrations can foster greater unity among different Christian traditions.Engaging with individuals from other denominations can lead to a deeper appreciation of their faith practices.

As a young boy growing up in artsy little Homer, Alaska I too caught the bug and wondered about my ability to make it as an artist. At the ripe old age of nine I drew a pencil sketch of the Space Shuttle Discovery in the upright position and attached to its external tanks. My sketch was approximately 30 inches tall and was of such high caliber, it was temporarily displayed in the Pratt Museum… along with all the other submitted artwork by the Homer elementary age crowd.But it didn't matter. I remembered walking down the hall of the Pratt and seeing my artwork hung on the wall with a name placard below. It was stunning. I couldn't believe that now thousands upon thousands of art lovers would behold my work. I felt such unspeakable pride.And that was the nature of us humans. We wanted our handiwork to be appreciated, to be noticed, to be ooh'd and aah'd over. We liked to see and be seen.As it turned out, God was of a different nature. Most of His glory was completely hidden from our eyes. This week we peeked through the curtain at the vast expansiveness of the hidden glory of God and asked “Why should it matter?” If you have a minute, before you watch, read Genesis one.Pastor Dr. Aaron Weisser

How many times have you attempted to capture the expansive view of the Kenai Mountains, opposite Homer across Kachemak Bay, only to be disappointed by the result? Photos just don't seem to convey the grandeur, especially when condensed down to a six inch phone screen.

We are jumping back to the beginning of the Bible and starting another trek through the story of God and humanity. And along with this is a great challenge: how do I sufficiently convey the grandeur of God's revealed purpose...in a few minutes on a Sunday morning!?!

In this episode of Sunday Talks, Dr. Larry White sits down with Pastor Sean Mills from Friendship Baptist Church to discuss the topic of Revival.

In this message, we're reminded of the profound promise found in Romans 8:28 - that God works all things together for good for those who love Him. This isn't just a comforting platitude; it's a rock-solid assurance that shapes how we view life's challenges. The speaker emphasises that this promise doesn't mean bad things become good, but rather that God brings good out of even the worst situations. We're encouraged to shift from hoping God might work things out to knowing with certainty that He will. This perspective transforms our approach to suffering, helping us see it as part of God's refining process to make us more like Christ. The message challenges us to deepen our trust in God's sovereignty and love, even when circumstances seem dire. It's a call to live with unwavering faith, confident that our all-powerful God is always at work for our ultimate good.Connect with First Baptist Starkville: https://bit.ly/3imWgqv Subscribe to see our latest sermons: https://bit.ly/3DxRyjH Support this ministry and our work in Starkville, MS: https://bit.ly/44muvW0

Have you ever walked into a place and felt the heeby jeebies?  You couldn't put your finger on it exactly but something about the space kinda creeped you out or filled you with a sense of dread?  Confession; abandoned underground tunnels kinda do that for me.  Especially when they include giant balls of clustered daddy longlegs overhead.  Eek.  I'm getting creeped out just thinking about it.  Get me outa here!This Sunday we continue our study of Revelation into chapter six.  The question at hand, what does a world look like that has completely shut out the light of Christ?  Turns out, it is a very dark and dreadful place. But we have a greater hope.  Pastor Dr. Aaron Weisser

I don't know what is happening to me but it is getting more and more difficult to hold it together during weddings. My son Damon got married last week and I was doing pretty good until I saw my son see his bride in white for the first time.
