The Bible and the Bishop – Advent 2023

/in /by

A Light Shines – Isaiah 9 v 1-7

For unto us a child is born – Our Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Darkness will give way to light, sadness to joy, burden to freedom, tyranny to justice.


 

Isaiah 64: Yet you, Oh Lord, are our Father

In this Advent season, these ancient words from Isaiah prompt us to turn to our Lord, our father in penitence and faith; to align ourselves with His purpose and to serve Christ and humanity in His name; to await the day of His return with watchfulness and patience.

 

Isaiah 61: Hope, Restoration, Justice, Thanksgiving

This week our Advent podcasts turns to Isaiah 61 where we hear voices of hope, restoration, justice and thanksgiving. Voices which point us to our Lord Jesus Christ, who invited all who are heavy with care to come to him and be refreshed.

 

Isaiah 40 : Comfort my people
This Advent God comes to us afresh to bring His comfort, consolation and His care. Will we hear Him, welcome Him, receive and believe Him. Will we allow Him to do his amazing work in the hopelessness of our times and lives. Join Bishop Ferran, this advent as we prepare for the coming of Jesus Christ.
