Access More.

Yeah. Access more. It is Cultivate Podcasting Time, and I am in the middle. We are in the middle of a four-part Christmas series.

I am super excited about this series because I love Christmas, and I love the infancy narratives in Matthew and in Luke's Gospel.

So I am pumped about this. We are going to be looking at Anna the prophetess, and I want to just say that if you are in a time of waiting, if this has been a time of waiting and longing and anguish for you, this is going to be such an encouraging and compelling message for you. So I just think Anna the Prophetus represents so many of us, and I'm just thrilled to be able to jump into this. So if this is not Christmas time for you,

if you're listening in a different time, I just want to encourage you that this is evergreen

material. So just like your Christmas tree, this material is going to stay evergreen. It's going to stay

fresh all year round because we're really just pulling straight from scripture. So this is going to

be helpful for you no matter what season of life you are in. But if it is Christmas time,

I've been saying get that cup of hot chocolate with the marshmallows. If you're being better, get your

cup of tea or your coffee or whatever you've got on hand and settle in as we sit at the

dining room table. Actually, today I'm at my friend's kitchen table because there's just too much

commotion going on over at my house. So I have escaped to a new table. But I'm at a table,

and I am envisioning you across the table from me. And we are going to walk through this story

on Anna of the Prophetus. Now, some of you might remember, oh, isn't that in Luke chapter two,

where Mary and Joseph are presenting Jesus in the temple. It's part of what they would do for what a

Jewish couple would do for their newborn son. And you think, okay, I think that, yeah, that's right,

there was Simeon was there, and he was so thrilled to see the Messiah. And then you had Anna, the prophetess, who was also there.
