Silent Night & Oh Holy Night - My Seminary Life

Welcome back to My Seminary Life. In today's episode we are wrapping up Hymns of Christmas as we complete our journey through the birth of Jesus guided by our favorite Christmas hymns. Today's guides are Silent Night & Oh Holy Night. After recapping and taking a brief look at Isaiah 9:6, I talk about this important aspect to the good news of Christmas that Jesus is the Prince of Peace, the peace to whom God has given to those He has given His grace, the peace that Micah prophesized about. What does it look like to live at peace because Jesus is peace? How does the imagry of Silent Night and the social justice message of Oh Holy Night play a part in us understanding what it means to be at peace? Also, I look at the war and poverty surrounding one of these hymns, and the Unitarians are at it again with our second Christmas hymn today. Bonus, I wrap this whole series up in a nice little bow by quoting part of Dr. Maya Angelou's poem Amazing Peace.

Oh Little Town of Bethlehem & Once, In Royal David's City - My Seminary Life

Welcome back to My Seminary Life. Today in our journey through the birth of Jesus, our guide is Oh Little Town of Bethlehem & Once, in Royal David's City as we reflect on hymns of arrival. Last week on Hymns of Christmas, we looked at Micah 5:2-6, this week we jump some 800 years later to Luke 2:1-7 to see the fulfillment of Micah's prophecy that the eternal ruler would be born in Bethlehem. The arrival of the Messiah shows us that God is not restricted by our limited understand of our circumstances. When life gets chaotic and stressful, we are reminded that God can bring His purposes together.

This is not a trap! (Don't listen to Admiral Ackbar this time.) We are just some genuine geeks, hoping to explore some of our favorite content from a Christian lense that we all share. We will be focusing on the geek stuff - Star Wars, Marvel, LOTR, Harry Potter, etc. - but we will be asking questions like: "Do Clones have souls?" "Is Superman truly a Christ-figure?" or "Is it okay for Christians to watch horror films?" Subscribe to our show and explore with us!

CHRISTIANITY
We can worship God with our minds by pondering the things of God, who He is, and how creation relates to its Creator. If you are looking for a podcast with all the answers about God and Theology, this is not the show for you! But, if you are looking for a show that will leave you with more questions than answers about the Divine, so you can struggle to worship God better, then join me in my adventure to love God better with my feeble brain!
