Series - Christmas and New Year 2025 / 2026

Part 1:  How can I be sure? How will this be?

Zechariah and Mary were both visited by the Angel Gabriel, and they both asked a question.
How did their questions differ?
What can we learn from them?

Part 2:  The Word became flesh

What does it really mean, when we say, that the Word became flesh?

Part 3:  Come to worship

The Magi said: we have come to worship.
King Herod said that he wanted to worship too.
What are you saying?
What are you doing?

Part 4:  Mary treasured up all these things

What did the Magi bring to Jesus?
What did Mary treasure?

Part 5:  Give him the name Jesus - call him Emmanuel

Will you call him Jesus?
Will you call him Emmanuel?

Part 6:  Filled with the Holy Spirit even before birth

What difference does the Holy Spirit make in the life of a believer?
We answer this, by looking at John the Baptist and Jesus' disciples.

Part 7:  Treasure in her heart - a sword piercing her soul

What was it like, for Mary, after Jesus was born?
What was it like, for her, during Jesus' childhood?
What was the treasure, that was in her heart?
What was the sword, that would pierce her soul?
Can we, perhaps, learn a secret, from Mary's experience?

Part 8:  Should God’s people celebrate Christmas?

This is a subject that very rarely gets discussed.
People often ask each other: "How are you planning to celebrate Christmas?"
But, people seldom ask: "Should we even be celebrating Christmas?"
Let's ask ourselves some frank and honest questions.
