    With three powerful words, "Let it be...," Mary goes from Nazerene poor girl to highly exalted mother of our Lord Jesus Christ. But Mary's words also give us a different perspective on our own waiting.

    Prayer for Illumination: Lord we bring ourselves to your word this morning, And we ask that you would speak to us that we might hear your words. Unstop our ears to listen, Chase the thoughts of tasks unfinished and tasks yet to do from our minds, Open our hearts to be responsive to your ...read more

    My Spirit Rejoices

     | 19,236 views

    Who will say with Mary: The Lord has looked with favor on my lowliness. My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior.

    The song of Mary is the oldest Advent hymn. It is also the most passionate, the wildest, and one might almost say the most revolutionary Advent hymn that has ever been sung. This is not the gentle, tender, dreamy Mary as we often see her portrayed in paintings. The Mary who is speaking here is ...read more

    Contributed by Gordon Mcculloch on Nov 10, 2014
     | 3,994 views

    Even in Advent, the song of Simeon, does not appear as being festive; but it is necessary in the build-up to meet with Jesus; and I will warn you just now, it pushes our faith to the limit; but it does provide relieve.

    Welcome Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. Today is the first Sunday of Advent and the children this morning will be retiring to the hall to make our Advent wreath and they will bring it into the service after the Intercessions so that the first candle can ...read more
