First Sunday of Advent Readings 29 Nov 2020: Hope

Isaiah 9:2, 6-7

“The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned. […] For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the greatness of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David’s throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. The zeal of the Lord Almighty will accomplish this.”

Second Sunday of Advent Readings: Preparation

Isaiah 40:3-5:

“A voice of one calling: ‘In the wilderness prepare the way for the Lord; make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Every valley shall be raised up, every mountain and hill made low; the rough ground shall become level, the rugged places a plain. And the glory of the Lord will be revealed, and all people will see it together. For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.’”

Third Sunday of Advent Readings: Joy

Matthew 2:10-11, “When they saw the star, they were overjoyed. On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh.” (NIV)

Fourth Sunday of Advent Readings: Love

John 3:16-19, “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.”

Fifth Sunday (Christmas Eve): Adoration

John 1:14

“The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us.”

I'm reading a Certificate in Bible Teaching at Gateway Seminary and part of my course requires me to read through a couple of bible versions. In order to keep me honest in doing my homework, for accountability, I am recording myself actually reading through the passages. 

Please do pardon me if these aren't as sleek or as professional as other bible readers out there; this is nothing more than an uploaded home recording which I thought I would share with you. If you have been blessed, or if you have suggestions on how to improve, or if you have a podcast idea, I'm happy to hear it - write to me at arbitrarysign [at] hotmail.com

I am hoping to do these readings in at least two formats - NASB and ESV, but my favourite/childhood memory verse bible version is the NIV, so hopefully I'll get to all of them.

Thank you for listening, and I pray you will be blessed with the reading of God's Word with me.

in Christ,
