Year C, the First Sunday of Christmas

Join Fr. Aaron & Marissa Burt for this week's episode, in which they consider the readings for the first Sunday of Christmas: Isaiah 61:10-62:5; Psalm 147:12-20; Galatians 3:23-4:7; John 1:1-18.

They discuss the imagery of royal wedding and God's provision of a secure land, Paul's discussion of slavery, sonship, and inheritance, and the prologue to John's gospel.

Our outro music is an original song by our friend Dcn. Jeremiah Webster, a poet and professor whose giftedness is rivaled by his humbleness. You can find his published works, including After So Many Fires, with a quick Google.
