Gospel Reading: Matthew 2:13-23When the wise men departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, "Rise, take the child and his mother, and flee to Egypt, and remain there till I tell you; for Herod is about to search for the child, to destroy him." And he rose and took the child and his mother by night, and departed to Egypt, and remained there until the death of Herod. This was to fulfill what the Lord had spoken by the prophet, "Out of Egypt have I called my son."Then Herod, when he saw that he had been tricked by the wise men, was in a furious rage, and he sent and killed all the male children in Bethlehem and in all that region who were two years old or under, according to the time which he had ascertained from the wise men. Then was fulfilled what was spoken by the prophet Jeremiah: "A voice was heard in Ramah, wailing and loud lamentation, Rachel weeping for her children; she refused to be consoled, because they were no more." But when Herod died, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt, saying, "Rise, take the child and his mother, and go to the land of Israel, for those who sought the child's life are dead." And he rose and took the child and his mother, and went to the land of Israel. But when he heard that Archelaos reigned over Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there, and being warned in a dream he withdrew to the district of Galilee. And he went and dwelt in a city called Nazareth, that what was spoken by the prophets might be fulfilled, "He shall be called a Nazarene."

Podcast 243 The Conversation: Unforeseen Encounters in Life: "In the Providential Hand of God”© 2025 ISBN978-976-97788-6-3AbstractThis paper examines Literature Review :The Conversation: Unforeseen Encounters in Life: "In the Providential Hand of God”© 2025 ISBN978-976-97788-6-3(2025), exploring how near-misses—events that narrowly avoid catastrophe—serve as a lens for understanding risk, providence, and human vulnerability. The narrative, set in a quiet suburb, follows a global citizen whose day is punctuated by several near-miss encounters, each revealing the fragility of seemingly calm daily life. Drawing on psychological, theological, technological, and scientific perspectives, this paper contextualizes the protagonist's experiences within contemporary frameworks of risk perception, the role of randomness, and the search for meaning in the face of uncertainty. The phenomenology of near-misses is explored, highlighting their disproportionate psychological impact, as well as their empirical significance in urban planning and other domains (Ibrahim et al., 2021). Furthermore, the paper investigates how these near-misses are interpreted through religious frameworks, where they are often seen as signs of divine providence (Broadrick et al., 2022). In contrast, statistical and algorithmic approaches, such as risk-limiting audits and explainable AI, treat near-misses as stochastic events that signal vulnerabilities within systems (Kaufman & Levy, 2024). The integration of these interdisciplinary insights leads to a nuanced understanding of how near-misses, whether personal or systemic, are sites of meaning-making, resilience, and growth. Ultimately, this paper demonstrates that near-misses, through various interpretative lenses, offer profound opportunities for reflection, action, and the cultivation of resilience in a world marked by uncertainty.Theoretical concepts including near-misses, providence, risk perception, resilience, explainable AI, religious interpretation, stochastic events, and randomness serve as the foundation for this scholarly discussion.Dr. William Anderson Gittens, D.D.Podcast 243The Conversation Unforeseen Encounters in Life In the Providential Hand of God copyright 2025 "ISBN 978-976-97788-6-3, filmed by Dr. William Anderson Gittens,D.D. of Devgro Media Arts Services®2015Bridgetown Barbadosto the Creator for guiding mI wish to express gratitude e and my late parents, Charles and Ira Gittens, for their guidance and creative expression.  Thanks to those who assisted me along this journey namely my Beloved wife Magnola Gittens, my Brothers Shurland, Charles, Ricardo, Arnott, Stephen, Sisters Emerald, Marcella, Cheryl, Cousins Joy Mayers, Kevin anSupport the showCultural Factors Influence Academic Achievements© 2024 ISBN978-976-97385-7-7 A_MEMOIR_OF_Dr_William_Anderson_Gittens_D_D_2024_ISBNISBN978_976_97385_0_8 Academic.edu.

December 14th, 2025 | Attributes of Advent | Luke 2:1-7In this message from the Attributes of Advent series, Pastor Todd Kauntiz invites us to lift our eyes to the providence and faithfulness of God revealed in the Christmas story. What many see as a familiar passage in Luke 2 becomes a powerful window into the heart of a God who is sovereign over history and unwavering in keeping His promises.As Pastor Todd walks through the birth of Jesus, we see how God orchestrated rulers, decrees, geography, and family lineage to fulfill ancient promises—that the Messiah would come from the line of David and be born in Bethlehem. From Caesar Augustus' decree to a manger in an insignificant town, nothing was accidental. God was providentially guiding history to bring redemption to the world.This message is especially for those carrying uncertainty, weariness, or anxiety about the future. Through fulfilled prophecy and God's faithfulness in the first Advent, we are reminded that the same God is still at work today—and can be trusted with what we are still waiting for. Because God has proven faithful before, we can place our hope in His promises yet to come.Listen and be encouraged: God is in control, He is always moving, and He always keeps His promises.Do you know JESUS?: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nblongview.org/do-you-know-jesus⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Need PRAYER?: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nblongview.org/pray⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SUPPORT through giving: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbbctx.org/giving⁠⁠

Providential People | Covenant Renewal | Hebrews 13:17-21 | Cory Elder by Providence Community Church

It is said that when Benjamin Franklin was an American Minister in Paris, he spent an evening with a group of intellectuals at a time when literary circles were known for being agnostic or even atheistic. He was called on to contribute to the entertainment and read from what he called a “charming bit of literature.” He proceeded to read the entire Book of Ruth. The normally skeptical audience was delighted and wanted to know where in ancient history such a beautiful and idealistic story could be found. They were shocked to find out it had been copied from the Bible. The story of Ruth is indeed beautiful as an endearing account of loyalty, faith and divine providence. The account explores how Ruth's faithful decisions amid hardship reflect profound spiritual lessons. After the deaths of her husband and two sons, Naomi decides to return to Bethlehem. Ruth, her Moabite daughter-in-law, chose loyalty over comfort and insisted on going with her into a land of a diversly different culture. Ruth's declaration, “Your people shall be my people, and your God, my God” marks a pivotal moment of voluntary discipleship, echoing the call to follow Christ. Naomi's selflessness and Ruth's humility set the stage for divine providence to unfold. Ruth's decision to glean in Boaz's field, seemingly by chance, revealed God's guiding hand. Boaz, a wealthy and godly man, noticed Ruth's integrity and ensured her safety and provision. His actions mirrored Christ's care for his followers, offering not just sustenance but honor and protection. Key takeaways from this amazing account include strong insights into the three main people in the account: Ruth's loyalty and humility positioned her to receive God's abundant blessings. Naomi's wise and selfless guidance allowed Ruth to make a free, faith-driven choice. Boaz's integrity and generosity reflect Christlike leadership and compassion. The story further emphasizes that: God can work through imperfect decisions to bring about redemption. Humble service and steadfast commitment open the door to spiritual abundance. Providential “happenings” often disguise divine orchestration. Ultimately, Ruth's story illustrates how one person's faithful choice can ripple across generations, shaping legacy and revealing God's character. Her journey from foreign widow to honored matriarch in Israel's lineage of Jesus himself reminds believers that dedication, humility and trust in God's timing yield lasting impact.

In the paradoxical poetry of divine wisdom, it is precisely the apparent chaos of the world that most loudly proclaims the careful choreography of God's providence. The stars do not govern man, nor does man govern himself, but rather both are held in the palm of our Heavenly Father who is at once infinite and intimate. --- Help Spread the Good News --- Father Brian's homilies are shared freely thanks to generous listeners like you.
