Podcasts about scripture: luke 1:39-1:45

We are in a season of lists and wishes. Some sit on Santa's lap, and others make wish lists online. With online shopping, we can know when we ordered it when it left the warehouse, and when it is out for delivery. We can also get a photo of it at our front door within minutes of delivery. Amazon, Walmart, Target, and other online retailers operate enormous warehouses called fulfillment centers, where workers fill boxes with every item on the order and send it to the trucks for delivery. Other aspects of life work differently. We can want and ask for things, but we do not know when we will see them. Depression, anxiety, and loneliness often increase during the Christmas Holiday season. Many question their life and why things happen to them during this time of year. The Bible is full of the phrase, "This happened so that prophecy would be fulfilled." We do not always understand why something happens, but everything that happens is to fulfill God's plan. The word fulfilled means to furnish or supply. In God's terms, this fulfillment is always more than expected. God does not lie and does not change His mind. If He said it, it will happen in its season. That last part is the tricky part for us. God's timing is perfect, but it is always longer than expected. God's promises will always be fulfilled.

As Christmas approaches, we all long for something to rekindle our hope and wonder. This Sunday’s message, “Blessing in Believing,” starts with Mary’s visit to Elizabeth and the beautiful truth: “Blessed is she who has believed.” Together, we’ll explore how belief in something greater than ourselves can bring light to this season and our lives.

THIRD SUNDAY OF ADVENT ORDER OF WORSHIP Pastor: Rev. Kendra Balliet Organist: Jim Ross PRELUDE - Pastorale from 8th Concerto- Corelli WELCOME *CALL TO WORSHIP Leader: Hear the sound of the angels declaring, “Fear not, for behold, I bring good news of great joy that will be for all people.” People: Amazing grace, how sweet the sound! Leader: Hear the announcement of God’s promise delivered: “Unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.” People: Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound! Leader: Hear the song of angels and mankind together praising God: People: “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased! *LIGHTING OF THE THIRD ADVENT CANDLE Leader: Today we light the third Advent candle, the candle of joy. When Mary, the mother of our Lord, visited her kinswoman Elizabeth, Elizabeth’s unborn son John leaped for joy at the sound of Mary’s greeting. Elizabeth was filled with joy, knowing that the promised Messiah would soon be born. We, too, rejoice as we prepare to celebrate our Savior’s birth. People: We will rejoice in the Lord, now and forever! Leader: The prophet Isaiah foretold a highway, the Way of Holiness, a place where the redeemed would walk. Following that holy Way, the redeemed would live in the presence of God and know everlasting joy. Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life. People: We will rejoice in the Lord, now and forever! (One pink and two purple candles are lit on the Advent wreath.) *OPENING HYMN – Hark the Herald A MEDITATION Amazing grace! How sweet the sound. We all know the hymn. It’s been a favorite of Christians for a long time. In fact, this year marks the 250th anniversary of the hymn. You may be thinking, “That’s nice, but what does this song have to do with Christmas?” The truth is, the birth of Jesus is God’s amazing grace. Jesus is the embodiment of God’s underserved love (that’s what grace means), lying in a manger, sent to save a wretch like me; like you. He came to seek and save the lost. He came to open the eyes of the blind, whose vision of God is clouded by worldly ideals and ungodly ways because of sin. He came to crush fear and restore our reverence and awe of our heavenly Father. He came to protect us from the power of Satan who wants to pull us away from God’s grace. He came to give hope to the hopeless with the promise of eternal life with him where there will be no more crying or pain. And he came to tune our hearts toward him and put a new song in our mouths—a song of praise to our God—a song that all who believe in him will sing around his throne in heaven for eternity. So, what does the hymn “Amazing Grace” have to do with Christmas? Everything! Now let’s listen to the sweet sound of our children who will proclaim this good news of Jesus’ birth—God’s amazing grace in a manger! Children, Youth and Families present: Amazing Grace in A Manger HYMN – O Little Town of Bethlehem (sung after the shepherds exit) CLOSING PRAYER - Thank you, Lord, for sending these children, your precious messengers, to bring your Word to us this day. May we respond in praise and thanksgiving for your amazing grace in a manger—our Savior, Jesus, as we spread this good news wherever we go. Amen. HYMN – Joy to the World OFFERTORY - Come, Your Hearts and Voices Raising-Raymond Haan *DOXOLOGY/PRAYER OF GRATITUDE SCRIPTURE Luke 1:39-45 SERIES: The Light of Grace SERMON - Joy: Elizabeth HYMN - “Amazing Grace” #378 vs. 5 JOYS/CONCERNS PASTORAL PRAYER/LORD'S PRAYER CLOSING HYMN - "All Earth Is Waiting" #210 vs. 1-3 ACTION STEPS & BENEDICTION POSTLUDE - Sorti, Far, Far Away on Judea's Plain- Franklin Ashdown Thank you for sharing in this worship service.

Just as we experience excitement and joy as Christmas approaches, we will examine the emotions of Mary, the shepherds, and others involved in the anticipation of Jesus' birth. We will explore how our anticipation parallels the anticipation of the prophecies being fulfilled and how it was a cause for celebration. We still experience the joy of anticipation as we await our Savior's second coming.

Rev. Dr. Larry Hayward preaches on the Nineteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time. The Scripture lesson is Luke 1:39-45.

On this Sunday before Christmas, the Fourth Sunday of Advent, I want to do something I rarely do in a sermon: I want to bear witness as clearly and beautifully as I can as to why I believe in all we are doing in this service today: the words we say, the music we hear and sing, the prayers we lift spoken or silent. In other words, I want to say, as best as I am able, why I am a Christian and how I got to be one. I hope to do so in a way that is not so much about me, but becomes about you who have gathered and about the birth, life, and destiny of the Christ whose name draws us here. Rev. Larry Hayward preaches on Luke 1:39-45.

Bishop Hannington

Our purpose: submitting to God's authority. Our purpose: share the good news with people. Our purpose: Have a spirit filled life. Our purpose: Learn how to be a better follower of Jesus. Jesus gives Hope. Luke 1: 39-45, 1:14-15, Mark 1: 1-8

Today in this Sermon, Pastor Parks is coming out of Luke speaking on these four points. 1. Believing the Not Yet. 2. The Already. 3. The Way to be blessed is to believe. 4. Don't Bemoan the Not Yet. Believe the not yet in the midst of your already.

There is Joy that is found only in Christ!

Because we know the story of Jesus’ birth so well, we often miss the richness in it. We are traveling from Nazareth to Bethlehem, exploring the people and the places in order to come away with a new and deeper understanding of how the Son of God became a man. Based on Adam Hamilton’s book The Journey: Walking the Road to Bethlehem

Mary's visit to Elizabeth reminds us that Christmas can never be ruined.

Mary and Elizabeth were ecstatic over the coming brith of Jesus. They were rejoicing at the coming of the Messiah, and they were likely wrong about who they thought the Messiah would be. Like them, we see in a mirror dimly, and our hope is in God, for something even great than we can imagine.

Joy is always present in the Christmas Story, even despite some sadness. In this way we see that Joy is not linked to our immediate circumstances, but to hope and love: Hope in a future that rests in God's hands, and faith in a Loving God.

“Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb! And why is this granted to me that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For behold, when the sound of your greeting came to my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy."
