Day 4 of Advent and we will meditate and reflect on new beginnings.

Advent offers a time of reflection and thinking about things we can do differently in this season of preparation for the birth of Jesus.

Today's reading is Luke 4: 1-13.

If you have time, dedicate a few minutes to read the entire Chapter 4 of the Book of Luke today.

By dedicating a chapter each day, you'll find that by Christmas day, you'll have traversed the entire gospel according to Luke, accompanying Jesus on the remarkable journey of his life.

(DONE IS BETTER THAN PERFECT! This Advent Season, 2025, is a busy one, and some episodes might be recycled from a previous year. In other words, the day of the week might not line up perfectly with the actual date. I ask for your grace and pray you will still receive the message Jesus is sending to your heart as you listen to each episode.)
