In this first episode of the new year, we look at a number of issues in the news including the King’s Christmas message, the London fireworks, plans to abolish trial by jury in ‘swift courts’, the new chickenpox vaccine and the rise of Islam. We begin and end the episode with a call to live by ‘faith over fear’, with biblical realism and the hope of Christ and his return. We finish with reading the ‘song of Simeon’ from Luke 2:29-32.
