    "So he was saying to the crowds who were going out to be baptized by him, "You brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? Therefore bear fruits in keeping with repentance, and do not begin to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham for our father,’ for I say to you that from these stones God is able to raise up children to Abraham. But indeed the axe is already laid at the root of the trees; therefore, every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire."  And the crowds were questioning him, saying, "Then what should we do?" And he would answer and say to them, "The man who has two tunics is to share with him who has none; and he who has food is to do likewise." And tax collectors also came to be baptized, and they said to him, "Teacher, what should we do?" And he said to them, "Collect no more than what you have been ordered to." And soldiers were also questioning him, saying, "

  " Now in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, and Herod was tetrarch of Galilee, and his brother Philip was tetrarch of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias was tetrarch of Abilene, during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John, the son of Zechariah, in the wilderness.

Now the Child continued to grow and become strong, being filled with wisdom; and the grace of God was upon Him. And His parents would go to Jerusalem every year at the Feast of the Passover. And when He became twelve years old , they went up there according to the custom of the Feast; and as they were returning, after finishing the days of the Feast , the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem. But His parents did not know. But supposing Him to be in the caravan, they went a day’s journey, and they began searching for Him among their relatives and acquaintances. When they did not find Him, they returned to Jerusalem searching for Him. And it happened that after three days they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions. And all who heard Him were astounded at His understan

    " And there was a prophetess, Anna the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher. She was advanced in years having lived with her husband seven years from when she was a virgin, and then as a widow to the age of eighty-four. She never left the temple, serving night and day with fastings and prayers. And at that very moment she came up and began giving thanks to God, and continued to speak of Him to all those who were waiting for the redemption of Jerusalem." Luke 2:36-38   Good Morning my beloved, We welcome you to worship in the name of God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. I am delighted to have all of you here with us today.     When you get to be as old as I am, you begin to look at the world become amazed, shocked really, by the changes that have occurred, particularly in the last 30 or 40 years. One of the things that strikes me is how our society has changed in its perception of a woman, not just the roles of women in a broader sense, but even the very con
