In 2024, we plan to begin a study of the book of Acts. Before the New Year, it would be fitting to look at the end of the Gospel of Luke (Luke 24:36-53), as it serves as something of a prelude or preface to the book of Acts. Luke wrote both of these volumes, and so it is best when they are read together. Luke ends with the ascension of Christ, and Acts provides a little more detail on the ascension. Also, the end of Luke challenges us to have a deeper understanding of Scripture and specifically a better understanding of the Old Testament. Will we, in the new year, commit ourselves to a deeper understanding of the Word of God?

This Lord’s Day at River City Reformed, we will be continuing our study of the Songs of Christmas by looking at the song of Zechariah, or the Benedictus. Our sermon text is Luke 1:67-80.

This song, much like the song of Mary, gives praise to God and points to the salvation He has promised in Jesus Christ. It also gives special attention to the ministry of John the Baptist as the forerunner who proclaims Christ and His salvation.

This Lord’s Day at River City Reformed, we will begin a new series on the songs of Christmas. You may wonder if this is a study of Christmas carols from our hymnals, but we are actually focusing on songs recorded in Scripture. This could include a wide variety of songs, especially if you consider that the Psalter points us to adore and worship the Son of God. It could also include Philippians 2:6-11. For the purposes of this study, we will be considering the following songs: “The Magnificat” as we study Luke 1:46-56, “The Benedictus” as we study Luke 1:67-79, “The Gloria” as we study Luke 2:8-20, “Nunc Dimittis” as we study Luke 2:22-38, and finally “The Song of Moses and the Lamb” as we study Revelation 15:1-4.

As we consider the Magnificat, we will see that it is a song of faith, a song of trust and a song of gratitude, and ultimately Mary exalts Christ as her Savior. Join us this Lord’s Day for worship as we consider Mary’s Savior and our Savior. We meet at 9 AM at 9820 W Markham St. in Little Rock (the sanctuary of Faith United Methodist Church).
