This is exciting. It’s our Christmas Eve worship podcast and we are spending it together. Of course some of you might not be catching this until the Holiday’s are past or maybe not even anywhere close. But the great thing about it is - this is relevant to you and always will be, no matter what time of year you’re listening.

The song I’ve chosen to base this worship podcast on today, is familiar to most and applicable to all. Oh Holy Night was written by Dylan Thomas/ John Sullivan Dwight/ Michael Guy Chislett and Placide Cappeau - which I’m sure I pronounced wrong.

Are you needing a new perspective this Christmas? Are you feeling sad, lonely or a deep loss this season instead of Joy? Than this worship podcast is for you. Keep listening and we’ll talk soon.

Let me ask all you mothers out there a quick question - what comes to mind when you hear the title of today’s worship podcast? “A Mother’s Secret”.

For me, I think of those cherished moments or wonderful secrets that you and your child share, for a time.

Mary, the eartly mother of Jesus, knew a wonderful secret about her son. But after those initial visitors acknowledged the Messiah in her arms that holy evening of his birth, she also knew that she had but a few years to hold his mission in trust, until His time had come.

Today, we’re going to talk a little bit more about what this mother knew for a time, and what it meant to others once it was time to reveal it to the world.
