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".

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".

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.

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".

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
