A reminder that although the podcast has been cancelled, previous episodes can be downloaded at 1517.org. Chad Bird, Rev. Edward Killian, John Andrew Schreiner and Eddy Duhan wish to thank all of you have listened and given your time and support to this podcast. It has been a tremendous honor to present these episodes as a quiet time for spiritual refreshment and rejuvenation for the people of God. As all creation enters the final Day of the Lord, where the things that once seemed important now fade away, we hear the question "who is worthy to open the scroll?". Chad guides us through this magnificent passage and Rebekah Ceggegi sings "Worthy is the Lamb".
Lyrics to "Worthy is the Lamb"
Weep no more
Our ransom is paid
Weep no more
A joyful exchange is made
 
By the worthy One 
Forever You reign
You are the worthy One
The Lamb who was slain  * 
 
Then I looked, and I saw 
The living creatures, and the elders
And myriads of angels before the throne
 
And I heard, on the earth
And under the earth, every creature
Raise their voice as one before Your throne
 
Worthy, worthy is the Lamb
Worthy is the Lamb that was slain
For the sins of the world
For the sins of the world
Jesus, we give our thanks
Jesus we give our worship
Unto You.
 
And we sing, altogether
All creation, and all history
Assembles before the Lamb 
The Lamb that was slain
 
Let the blessing, and the glory
Resound throughout the earth and sky
Unto Him upon the throne
And the Lamb on high
 
Worthy, worthy is the Lamb
Worthy is the Lamb that was slain
For the sins of the world
For the sins of the world
Jesus, we give our thanks
Jesus we give our worship
Unto You.

In this Advent edition, Chad takes us to the home of Elizabeth and Zachariah, when Mary comes to visit her cousin and proclaim the greatness of God and celebrate the greatness of His mercy, the God of heaven now come to earth and causing John the Baptist to leap for joy in his mother's womb. Izzi Ray sings "Magnificat".

Lyrics to Magnificat
Magnificat.
My soul magnifies the Lord,
    and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
he has looked on the lowliness of his servant.
 For behold, behold from now on 
all generations will call me blessed;
all generations will call me blessed; I am blessed
for the Mighty One has done great things for me,
    and holy, holy is his name.
And his mercy is there for those who fear him
    from generation to generation.
   from generation to generation. We are blessed
 
He has shown great strength with his arm;
    he has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts;
he has brought down the mighty from their thrones
    and exalted the lowly of heart
 and exalted the lowly of heart
 
He has filled the hungry with good things,
    and the rich he has sent away empty.
He has helped his servant Israel,
    in remembrance of his great mercy,
as he spoke to our fathers,
    to Abraham and to his offspring forever."
 
My soul magnifies the Lord,
    and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
  in remembrance of his great mercy,
  in remembrance of his great mercy,

The biggest questions in this life always come down to God. Chad reminds us that Christ is the image of God, and consolations await those who look to Jesus. Izzi Ray sings "we Look to You".

Lyrics to "We Look to You"
When it all falls apart,
Our treasures in the dark,
You shine as the one who cares, the image of God's heart.
The firstborn over all,
Before the world began,
By You the stars were spoken, and our lives held in Your  hands.
Chorus:
We look to You, the image of the Father
Holding all things together
The Word forever
We look to You, the image of compassion
And it comes home again
In You all things stay
You are the dawn of the never ending day
When the night grows long,
And hope feels out of reach,
You're holding all creation—
And You're still holding me.
You reconcile the broken,
Shed Your blood to made us new,
Your Peace rising from the shadows,
A kingdom born of You.

This week is the first week in Advent and how wonderful to reflect on the Benedictus, the prayer of Zachariah, after John the Baptist was born. You will love hearing Chad meditate on the richness of this beautiful passage of God's word. Chris Lizotte sings "All of the Light We See" which also  features John Andrew Schreiner playing the accordion.

Lyrics to "ALl of the Light We See"
Sunrise will greet us
Darkness is broken by the light
Blessed is Your name
For bringing  sight to the blind
The horn of salvation
Saving our kind
The sunrise will greet us
And guide us into Your light
You are the Light
 
My tongue was tied up
And so I waited, unable to speak
My faith had dried up 
But You are gentle,  offering   relief
You opened my lips
I sang in reply
The sunrise will greet us
And guide us into Your light
You are the Light
 
Chorus:
All of the light we see
Streams from Your mercy
Your love descends on the night
And  fear cannot stay
Shadows are scattered in flight
Let us prepare the way 
The sunrise will greet us
And guide us into Your light
You are the Light
 
From the shadow of death
To the rising sun
Forgiveness in Jesus
The battle is won

We have so much to be grateful for, and most of all we can give thanks for Christ Jesus leaving the heights of heaven and coming to dwell among us, taking our sin, destroying death and making eternity in heaven possible to thise who call upon His name. Chad meditates on this most wonderful hymn from Paul's letter to the Phillipians and calls us to be ever grateful for the finished work of our Saviour. Jeff Anderson sings "You Took the Way Down".

We have the mind of Christ
We have the mind of Christ
 
 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be exploited,  but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men.  And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.  Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name,  so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,  and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Salvation's story
You took the way down
The Lord of glory
You took the way down
You came down to earth
So we can enter Your rest
And wait for the day
Every knee shall bow
Every tongue confess
That Jesus is Lord
We have the mind of Christ
We have the mind of Christ
