Welcome to a new week of This Hope is For You - daily readings and reflections to help you pause through this busy advent season. It&#39;s nearly Christmas. A time for celebration, and a time for singing. Last week we ended with Mary&#39;s song. We start this week with another song. Zechariah&#39;s. He has a son. And he has been silent, silenced by an angel for his doubt in God&#39;s power. What would your first words be when your voice came back?
Today&#39;s Bible passage: Luke

Advent 12 - Hoping for new birth

Simple reflections for complicated times.
In a world full of endless breaking news, we need time to pause. We need time to reflect on words as true today as they were when they were written.

Every weekday we post a 3-minute moment with a Bible verse, a reflection and a space to think, pray and consider the God who offers hope.
