In this year’s third and final Christmas message, we look at Luke 2 and the stories of Simeon and Anna, to gain a deeper appreciation of Christ and of how we should respond to Him and proclaim Him to the world.

In Psalms 22, we see God’s prophecy in advance about the cross, what Christ would endure, and the great victory it would produce to bless us all. In it we find a God Whom we can trust more than however much we thought we could.

Our study through the gospel of Mark continues with chapter 15, verses 21-39, which tells us of the crucifixion of Christ, and what He suffered at the hands of man and under the wrath of God in our place. We see how Christ and Him crucified is the message we preach, because it shows Him to be the Son of God and the perfect Savior.

In Mark 15, we look at Jesus’ trial before Pilate, His replacement of Barabbas in condemnation, and the scorn and mocking the world gave Christ for being King of the Jews. What our Maker endured for our undeserved salvation is an infinitely deep well for reflection and meditation, making this passage a good one for today, even though you’ve read it many times before.

Judges 16 – The final chapter of Samson’s life on earth becomes a cautionary tale, highlighting the faithfulness and mercy of God, while showing us some pitfalls to avoid if we don’t want to destroy so much of our lives and testimonies.
