    The Song Of Simeon, At Christmas?

    Contributed by Gordon Mcculloch on Nov 10, 2014
     | 3,978 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

    Although we know little about Joseph’s life, we know quite a bit about his character from his actions. He demonstrated great faith. We can learn much from living Holy lives by following the example set by Joseph.

    Joseph is too often overlooked in the Christmas story. We must never fail to acknowledge the role he played in the life of Jesus. It wasn't just a coincidence that he was engaged to be married to Mary. He was chosen by God for this special calling...to be the earthly father of Jesus. God in His ...read more
