    "She was very old; she had lived with her husband seven years after her marriage, and then was a widow until she was eighty-four" (Luke 2:36–37). Anna had been married only seven years when she became a widow, and she remained a widow for the rest of her life.

    Anna, The Prophetess [part 2] Series

    Contributed by John Lowe on Jan 8, 2022
     | 2,663 views

    As a prophetess, Anna receives insight into things that typically remain hidden to ordinary people; she recognizes this child and tells of his significance to selected people in Jerusalem.

    Regarding Anna, Luke provides three terse verses that manage to vividly depict her as a woman deserving the honor bestowed on the elderly in the ancient Mediterranean world (v. 36-38). She could well serve as the Bible's example of a remarkable woman and mother. The appositive prophetess heads ...read more

    Jesus was a babe, then a child and a teenager before He began His ministry. This was known as the silent years, as very little is spoken in the Bible. What can we learn about His Youth? Listen!

    We are seeing Jesus from a alphabetically speaking, and now winding down to "Y". Jesus was a youth and not much is said in the scriptures, but Luke tells us "The child grew and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon Him." (2:40) When He ...read more

    Christmas was only the beginning, just as Easter, too, was only a beginning. We’re simply not done yet. The final chapter hasn’t been written.

    ‘Tis the day after Christmas; now what do we do? Tomorrow it’s back to the rat race. What’s new? We’ll box up the manger and throw out the tree. And next year we’ll do it again. Wait and see! There’s some change, but mostly each year seems the same. How long has it been since the baby first ...read more

(Ps. 19:14) “Lost and Found” “My, how you have grown!” Those words, or something similar were uttered in households across America last week as families ...read more

    Even as a child, Jesus was fully human, but understand how special His relationship was with God. Today, we have the same opportunities to know God as well, if only we will devote ourselves to His business.

    Introduction - When we were last in the Gospel of Luke, it was a very familiar story • We discussed Advent (the waiting & revealing of the Messiah) • We also rejoiced at the birth of Jesus – God incarnate (Immanuel) - Today we’ll begin a study of Luke; this should take ~ 3 months (to ...read more

    This message will answer the following questions: Who should be told about the birth of the Savior? What did the shepherds do after they left Joseph, Mary, and baby Jesus? What did Mary do? What other events might Mary have pondered in her heart?

    Who should be told about the birth of the Savior? (Luke 2:8-16) God chose to tell His good news to the lowly.
