An Anchor For The Soul
A warm welcome to Dr. Bob Schwanebeck who is retired after 39 years from pastoral service. He now regularly supplies pulpits for churches in Alabama and Mississippi. He and his wife, Carol, make their home in Starkville.
The Lamb is the Shepherd
Of all the featured characters in the Christmas story, why shepherds? Why single them out for a special angelic visitation? Why were they chosen to be the first evangelists to spread the good news? Why were these rough outdoorsmen, coarse keepers of smelly beasts privileged to be the first to bow before the Christ child? O, if they only knew! The Lamb in the manger was to be the Great Shepherd of their own souls, too - as foretold by Ezekiel, and later prophesied by John of Patmos.
Gabriel Was Sent From God
Who are these dazzling creatures dispatched from the throne room of Glory to invade our dimension on assignment from God? Both fearful and comforting, tender yet powerful, they bring warnings of disaster or good news of redemption.They suddenly appear and just as suddenly vanish, leaving us with questions about their nature, character and even the lingering doubt: Do they really exist? They do indeed, and they are angels. Their name means "Messenger," and they are God's Secret Agents, on covert mission assignments around the world on behalf of God's chosen people. They feature large in the Christmas story, but they are not the chubby cherubs you might think they are!
A Long Awaited Coming
How long is too long to wait? Waiting is not easy. It can be trying, anxious, eager, or even desperate, but always hopeful! Why? Because none of God’s promises have ever failed! The biblical stories of Advent and Christmas give us grounds for trusting in everything we have been promised concerning Christ’s return and our eternal home. Take heart! The Lord is near.
