Story for Dec. 11 narrated by Ian Greig with Bible readings by Alison Greig
EXCERPT
This week focuses on Revival and why we often see two opposing directions happening at once — which is difficult to understand. But it is a tension which God can and does use to stir us out of our passivity!
Based on these Bible readings set for Sunday, December 11, 2022, in the inter-denominational scheme widely followed by a variety of churches and chapels (Revised Common Lectionary):
Psalm 146:5-10
