During the final week before Christmas, we’ll be bringing you one episode per day with a reading of our devotional “In The Fullness Of Time.”We hope this podcast encourages you in your relationship with Jesus and helps you focus on Him this Christmas season.If you’d like to learn more about Freedom Fellowship Church, visit us at www.freedomnb.org.

Episodes
What did the angels say
when you stripped away Your glory?
Did they turn away in shame?
Did they recognize You?
Did some stare in horror
as God became like me?
It was not enough though, was it,
for you to become like me.
You who lived before eternity
and walked the heavens
and held the constellations in Your hand
were reduced to a clump of cells
tucked into the womb of a child.
The Innkeeper’s Wife
“No, there’s no room for the likes of you,
and yes, I can see your wife.
Now get from the door, let the others by,
don’t trouble me with your life.
Besides the fact, have you no sense
to bring her so close to time?
Why in God’s name would you have a child,
there’s quite enough of your kind!
If you must there’s a cave, a place for sheep,
outback on the hillside near.

Wee little Mary who all thought good
Believed the angel’s word,
But what thought those who with her stood
When of her blessed womb they heard?
There was much joy in the camp along the road to Bethlehem that night. Mary’s mother never left her side. Her father, Heli, continually doted over their care, setting the example for the rest of the family. The family, he said, had suffered enough shame, and now it was to be over.
M...
Would you be at peace if an otherworldly being suddenly stood before you? That's exactly what happened when an angel would appear to people. They suddenly stood before Mary. They appeared before the shepherds. Each time the angel would greet them with the word "peace." It is that same greeting that these "ministering spirits" extend to you and me: "Peace on Earth and goodwill to mankind." There is...
Have you ever thought how strange of Him to introduce His Son through the appearance of sin?
Mary could not take much more. Joseph feared for her. Over the days, her voice was tinged more and more with pain. He feared for the baby. Would Mary have the strength left when the child chose to be born? He was too young, too inexperienced, for this.
After all, a Jewish man was not supposed to know about babies being born. In the village, t...
Mary’s Lullaby
Hidden in my womb so deep
Safe beneath my heart,
Be still, Little One, for very soon
Your life from me will part.
Who will you be
O Son of mine
Is it true what the angels say?
I care not, as long as soon
In my arms, You safely lay.
The valley of the Jordan River borders the land of Samaria to the west and the Decapolis to the east. Running fifty or so miles due south to the Dead...
Little Donkey
Clip Clop, Clip Clop
is all my donkey speaks,
his little feet so close to mine
my pace he humbly keeps.
Clip Clop, Clip Clop
Do you know the one you keep?
It is the Creator of all the world
His Majesty so meek.
Mary was exhausted. Her first night’s stay in the countryside had been too painful to sleep. Joseph had stopped repeatedly the day before, her legs and back continued to spa...
Mary, Sweet Mary
Mary, sweet Mary, how fearful it must be
To leave the home of your dear birth in the hills of Galilee.
Did sweet tears fall from your eyes, did your breaking heart turn cold? Or did you ponder the angel’s voice and the mystery he told?
Mary, sweet Mary, now travel the lonely road.
Bless you, child, for in your womb the Lord of Grace you hold.
“Sweet Mary...” Joseph’s voice was the only comfort in the...
It was to the lowliest members of society that the Angels announced their good news of great joy that the Messiah, the one who would save the world, was born. After the shepherds visited the baby Jesus, they left praising God, full of joy.
Yet Christmas isn't always as joyful as we expect it to be. Whether it's experiencing a loss or a setback or painful memories or being away from loved ones, the holidays can be...
There seems to be some differing opinions on what the second Advent candle represents. Today, we are going to share from the perspective of peace. There's no doubt that Christmas is one of the busiest, craziest times of the year. It can also stir up anxieties and stresses that aren't present other times of the year. It's no surprise that peace often eludes us this time of year. Yet that was exactly why Jesus came. He...
In this episode, we are looking at the first of the Advent candles, the Prophecy Candle, which represents hope.
Jesus fulfilled a large number of Old Testament prophecies and brought hope to the nation of Israel and to the whole world.
Do you need hope for this Christmas season? Look no further than Jesus.
