Today we complete our Advent series, The Right Time, with a look at the Shepherds. What was the status of a shepherd in the society of that day? How did they respond to the angelic hosts? How did they prepare for the arrival of Christ?
Have you ever headed to a destination and realised you were on the wrong route? As we continue our Advent Series, The Right Time, we will travel with the wise men to see what navigation tools they used to find the right path to the new born King and their response to the Christ Child.
Our faith in Christ gives us hope for tomorrow and for eternity. But what happens to one’s faith when God is silent for 400 years? As we continue our Advent series, The Right Time, we will consider Simeon and his example of faith and praise.
As we continue our Advent Series: The Right Time, we will consider Joseph – his heart and his behavior as he, too, prepared for the arrival of Jesus. The Reverend Mark Rae returns to provide insight into the character Joseph.
We have become so familiar with the beauty of the Christmas story. But perhaps we have failed to make a personal connection with the people in the biblical narrative who were awaiting the arrival of the Messiah. To kick off this 5-part Advent series, The Right Time, Rev. Mark Rae will re-introduce Mary, the mother of Jesus. Why was she favored, and how did she respond to the news Gabriel delivered?
