Unto Us a Child is Born
1 But there is no gloom upon her who is distressed, as when at first He humbled the land of Zeḇulun and the land of Naphtali, and afterward more heavily oppressed her, by the way of the sea, beyond the Yardĕn, in Galil of the nations.
2 The people who were walking in darkness have seen a great light; upon those who dwelt in the land of the shadow of death a light has shone.
3 You shall increase the nation; You shall make its joy great. They shall rejoice before You, as in the joy of harvest, as men rejoice when they divide the spoil.
4 For You shall break the yoke of his burden and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, as in the day of Miḏyan.
5 For every boot of one trampling in tumult, and coat rolled in blood, shall be used for burning and fuel of fire.
6 For a Child shall be born unto us, a Son shall be given unto us, and the rule is on His shoulder. And His Name is called Wonder, Counsellor, Strong Ěl, Father of Continuity, Prince of Peace.
7 Of the increase of His rule and peace there is no end, upon the throne of Dawiḏ and over His reigna, to establish it and sustain it with right-ruling and with righteousness from now on, even forever. The ardour of יהוה of hosts does this.
8 יהוה sent a word against Ya‛aqoḇ, and it has fallen on Yisra’ĕl.
9 And the people shall know, all of them, Ephrayim and the inhabitant of Shomeron, who say in pride and greatness of heart:
10 “The bricks have fallen down, but we rebuild with hewn stones; the sycamores are cut down, but we replace them with cedars.”
11 And יהוה set up the adversaries of Retsin against him, and stirred up his enemies,
12 the Arameans before and the Philistines behind. And they devour Yisra’ĕl with an open mouth. With all this His displeasure has not turned back, and His hand is still stretched out.
13 And the people have not turned back to Him who smites them, nor have they sought יהוה of hosts.
14 And יהוה cuts off head and tail from Yisra’ĕl, palm branch and reed in one day.
15 Elder and highly respected, he is the head; the prophet who teaches falsehood, he is the tail.
16 For the leaders of this people lead them astraya, and those who are guided by them are swallowed up.
17 Therefore יהוה does not rejoice over their young men, and has no compassion on their fatherless and widows; for everyone is defiled and evil, and every mouth speaks foolishness. With all this His displeasure has not turned back, and His hand is still stretched out.
18 For wrongness burns as the fire; it consumes thornbushes and weeds, and sets the bushes of the forest ablaze, and they roll up like rising smoke.
19 The land shall be burned up by the wrath of יהוה of hosts, and the people be as fuel for the fire. A man shall not spare his brother,
20 and cut down on the right hand, but shall be hungry; and he devours on the left hand, but shall not be satisfied; each one devouring the flesh of his own arm:
21 Menashsheh Ephrayim, and Ephrayim Menashsheh; together they are against Yehuḏah. With all this His displeasure has not turned back, and His hand is still stretched out.

Jesus is Coming
Some years ago I was walking around the reception tables after a wedding I had performed. An older woman approached me with a question. Almost everyone present at this particular wedding had come from a high church liturgical tradition. In their tradition, they had sometimes weekly, sometimes monthly recited either the Apostle’s Creed or the Athanasian Creed. But apparently, she hadn’t been…

The people walking in darkness have seen a great light;on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned.You have enlarged the nation and increased their joy;they rejoice before you as people rejoice at the harvest,as warriors rejoice when dividing the plunder.For as in the day of Midian’s defeat, you have shatteredthe yoke that burdens them, the bar across…

Church notes - 31st December 2023
31st
Proverbs 16:9
Matthew 2:1 -12
A reflection
The Magi were looking out for the the things of God.
They could not be dissuaded from their task.
Every day
Look through the lense of faith expecting God to be at work.
Be prepared to see Him work in unexpected ways.
We should be living our lives as if Jesus is King.
vs 2
They followed the star because a King had been born.
Isaiah 9:6, 7
Zechariah 9:9
Revelation 17:14
There is no greater power. He has complete and unchallengeable control!

DAWN: AN ADVENT ALLEGORY
Merry Christmas! We hope you enjoy this Two Books Christmas Meditation on the link between The Rising Sun and The Risen Son. May the glory of Christ's incarnation be your joy, hope, peace and love as you celebrate our risen Savior's birth!
A Two Books Christmas Meditation on The Rising Sun and The Risen Son
While I am far from a morning person, as a landscape photographer, I’ve learned to be a student of the dawn – to scout for just the right spot in relation to the sun’s rising, to study the clouds to predict what type of sunrise we might (or might not) enjoy, and to search for just the right subject in the foreground to interact…

“Unto Us A Child Is Born”: Isaiah 9:1-7
This study of Isaiah 9:1-7 is a continuation of a series of studies on preaching from the Old Testament. These studies are derived from a series of Advent sermons preached at Trinity Baptist Church of Chicago, the church where I have served as the senior pastor for more than twenty years.

Isaiah 9: The Wrath of God
Isaiah must have been gazing with such joy into the glory of that far away day of promise, and then lowered his eyes to the reality of what was going down around him. #FinalJudgment #WrathofGod #JudgmentDay
Isaiah must have been gazing with such joy into the glory of that far away day of promise, and then lowered his eyes to the reality of what was going down around him.
The near-term prophesy of God’s wrath still had to be addressed.
Because of the people’s refusal to repent, God’s hand was stretched out in judgment.
God’s Judgment on Arrogance
The people in Samaria refused to see the fall of…

Isaiah 9:18-10:4 – The Reality in Front of Us
Surely wickedness burns like a fire; it consumes briers and thorns,it sets the forest thickets ablaze, so that it rolls upward in a column of smoke.By the wrath of the Lord Almighty the land will be scorchedand the people will be fuel for the fire; they will not spare one another.On the right they will devour, but still be hungry;on the left they will eat, but not be…

A Chronological Reading of the Christmas Story Scriptures

So, I spent some time finding just the right music,…
