I dare say that after hearing this PODCAST, you may never think of Dear Mother Mary the same way again.

A manger scene. As you will be reminded in this PODCAST, a manger scene has become the iconic picture of Christmas.
Which prompts to ask and answer this one question:
How does the first—genuine, authentic, as described in the Bible—manger scene compare with our store-bought manger scenes?
The answer will bring to you a bright and beautiful understanding of that very first Christmas Day!!!

A healthy dose of some—much-needed, I think—Christmas cheer, courtesy of this PODCAST, and the inspired pen of the historian, Dr. Luke.

It is THE iconic image of Christmas.
As you will hear in this PODCAST, a picture—it’s always about the picture.
Straight out of Galatians. Straight from my heart. Straight into your soul.
Enjoy!!!

As you will hear in this PODCAST, how ironic that Peter should invoke this image, and we discuss it, on the evening of the Winter Solstice, 2019.
As we bring the lovely little letter called 1 Peter to a close, you are in for copious amounts of much-needed encouragement.

(Fun Fact: Of all of the thousands of messages I have given over the years, THIS one is my devoted daughter’s all-time-favorite!)
“It’s the holiday season.”
A statement, as you will hear on this PODCAST, that cuts two ways.
For far too many of us, this is not “the most wonderful time of the year.” For you, or someone you know, it’s the loneliest time of the year.
But it does not have to be.

The picture that you are about to hear me paint in this PODCAST is my Single. Favorite. Scriptural. Snapshot of Jesus, second to none.
Courtesy of our old friend, Peter, who was onsite and who witnessed this up close and far too personal in real time as it happened.
I have a hunch that after hearing this, you will never think of Jesus in quite the same way again.
May my stuttering and stammering words be a blessing in your life.

He is the unsung hero of the Christmas story.
In a classic case of gross understatement, may I say that Simeon was a most-remarkable individual. In this PODCAST, you will hear his inspiring story in his own voice.
A truly unforgettable Christmas meditation—one that not only looks back to the way things were, but forward to your bright and beautiful future as things soon will be!

In 1 Peter 2:5a (NLT), Peter painted this amazing picture. Speaking of you and me, he wrote,
“And you are living stones that God is building into his spiritual temple.”
Living stones. As you are about to hear in the PODCAST, Peter may have been an uneducated fisherman. But he was inarguably the master of the metaphor.
Last week, he referred to us as “priests”—a metaphor rich with a wealth of meaning once we understand the role of priests throughout the biblical narrative.
For this week, “living stones.” What a meaningful metaphor that is—“living stones.”
As we are about to learn, this is perfect for us to consider as we close out 2018—a year that has dealt with most of us in a remarkably unkind way. The challenges we have faced, the trials we have endured, the obstacles we have overcome… And yet, and yet, like “living stones,” you are still standing. And for that, I applaud you!
Now to the point at hand: Does anything strike you about Peter’s reference to “living stones”?

May I ask you a personal question?
As you will hear in this PODCAST, the exact same question that I asked of a couple of hundred of the best high school students you’d ever want to meet. Here’s my question:
Do you want to live your life in the midst of God’s blessing?
If your answer to that question is “Yes,” THIS is what God’s blessing means; THIS is what a God-blessed life looks like.
