The World’s Greatest Gift
Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin’s name was Mary.

We Remember
How lovely is Your tabernacle, O Lord of hosts! My soul longs, yes, even faints For the courts of the Lord ; My heart and my flesh cry out for the living God.

Blessed are those who dwell in Your house; They will still be praising You. Selah…

God’s Favor
And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: “Speak to Aaron and his sons, saying, ‘This is the way you shall bless the children of Israel. Say to them: “The Lord bless you and keep you; The Lord make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you; The Lord lift up His countenance upon you, And give you peace.” ’ “So they shall put My name on the children of Israel, and I will bless them.” – Numbers 6:22-27…
Not Ashamed
For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.” – Romans 1:16-17 For Moses writes about the righteousness which is of the law, “The man who does those things shall live by them.” But…

The Body of Christ, The Anointed

Christ The Anointed
So He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up. And as His custom was, He went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read. And He was handed the book of the prophet Isaiah. And when He had opened the book, He found the place where it was written: “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me To preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to…
