Advent

Day 4: Monday 4th December – Luke 1:5-17  ‘Your prayer has been heard’

3rd December 2023 by asadmin

Most modern tellings of the nativity story begin with the Angel Gabriel appearing to Mary.  But that’s not quite the beginning of the story – not even in Luke’s gospel itself.  Six months before that historic encounter, Gabriel has another divine errand, to an old priest performing his duties at the temple in Jerusalem. Zechariah … Read more

Day 3: Sunday 3rd December – Matthew 1:1-17  ‘The divine promise-keeper’

2nd December 2023 by asadmin

Admit it – you skipped a few lines of today’s reading, didn’t you?  Most people do.  In fact, if I was able to secretly watch your reading time, I might find it was more than a few lines! The bible is full of genealogies.  Long lists of who begat who, to use the old language … Read more

Day 2: Saturday 2nd December – Micah 5:2-5a  ‘A surprising Shepherd?’

30th November 2023 by asadmin

The Advent story is full of surprises.  In many ways we’re so familiar with it, that often those surprises pass us by.  We think of shepherds and angels and wise men and it all seems so… normal.  Which is odd, when you think about it! Today’s passage from the prophet Micah likewise has its share … Read more

Day 1: Friday 1st December – Isaiah 7:14  ‘God with us’

30th November 2023 by asadmin

God with us.  That’s really the whole ball game, isn’t it?  Over the next 24 days, as we prepare ourselves in this season of Advent, we’ll tell the ageless story afresh, and we’ll marvel again at the wonder of it all: the angels, the shepherds, the wise men, the journey to Bethlehem, a young carpenter … Read more

Thursday 30th November – Genesis 49:8-12 ‘The Lion of Judah’

29th November 2023 by asadmin

‘When Herod had called together all the people’s chief priests and teachers of the law, he asked them where the Messiah was to be born.  “In Bethlehem in Judea,” they replied.’ When we read this text from Matthew’s gospel (as we will later in our Advent series, and no doubt once or twice at other … Read more

Wednesday 29th November – Genesis 3:8-15 ‘The Serpent Crusher’

28th November 2023 by asadmin

When our kids were at primary school, we were fortunate that there was a playground directly opposite their school.  Most days, within thirty seconds of the bell, they would career out (with Alise or myself trailing in their wake) and find their way within a couple of minutes to the swings or the slide, along … Read more
