Welcome to Believe Together. The church is together in Kinkcham Saltford production for KTCR FM 105.8 and online. Hey Jenny, what are we doing with a Harvest song at the beginning of this show? Isn't it the wrong time of year? Well, no, it's never the wrong time of year. But anyway, you'll find out soon. Something's coming up. Okay, right, well anyway, let's start off this show today with an amazing song. Yes, on Songs of Praise last week they said this was the most famous New Year's song ever written. Here it is, beautifully sung by Pentatonix. Amazing grace, how sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me And I once was lost, but now I'm found Was blind, but now I see T'was grace that taught my heart to fear And grace my sins to heal How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed My chains are gone, I've been set free My God, my Savior has ransomed me And I come alive, His mercy made me free Unending love will make me free The Lord has promised good to me He's worth my hope secured He will my shield and portion be As long as life endures My chains are gone, I've been set free My God, my Savior has ransomed me And I come alive, His mercy made me free Unending love, amazing grace The earth shall soon dissolve by snow The sun forbear to shine But God who calls me here below Will be forever mine My chains are gone, I've been set free My God, my Savior has ransomed me And I come alive, His mercy made Unending love, amazing grace I once was lost, but now I'm found Was blind, but now I see I once was lost, but now I see Was blind, but now I see I once was lost, but now I see I once was lost, but now I see I once was lost, but now I see I once was lost, but now I see I once was lost, but now I see I once was lost, but now I see I once was lost, but now I see I once was lost, but now I see I once was lost, but now I see I once was lost, but now I see I once was lost, but now I see I once was lost, but now I see I once was lost, but now I see I once was lost, but now I see I once was lost, but now I see I once was lost, but now I see I once was lost, but now I see I once was lost, but now I see I once was lost, but now I see I once was lost, but now I see I once was lost, but now I see I once was lost, but now I see I once was lost, but now I see I once was lost, but now I see I once was lost, but now I see I once was lost, but now I see I once was lost, but now I see I once was lost, but now I see I once was lost, but now I see I once was lost, but now I see I once was lost, but now I see I once was lost, but now I see Count your blessings, see what God has done Count your blessings, name them one by one And it will describe you what the Lord has done Are you ever burdened with a load of care? Does the cross seem heavy? You are called to bear Count your many blessings, every doubt will fly And you will be singing as days go by Count your blessings, name them one by one Count your blessings, see what God has done Count your blessings, name them one by one And it will describe you what the Lord has done When you look at others with bare hands and so Think that Christ has taught you His will untold Count your many blessings, money cannot buy Your reward in heaven or your home on high Count your blessings, name them one by one Count your blessings, see what God has done Count your blessings, name them one by one And it will describe you what the Lord has done Count your blessings, name them one by one Count your blessings, see what God has done I've bought presents galore, made a wreath for the door And I've worked out the Christmas meal seating I've broken a chair, well I'll sit hubby there But I haven't bought the food we'll be eating I've put up the decks, I've sent Christmas texts And I've posted the cards overseas We've still got family to see and places to be Lord, I'm really down on my knees Then a voice said to me, you've been too busy to see Where Christmas all began You've been caught up with things Lost with joy Christmas brings Because a baby came down to save man Of course it's now 2024, that's how I say it anyway So I have a new diary, fresh, clean, well fairly clean diary Now my verse for this week says Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever That comes from Hebrews Yesterday, today, forever Jesus is the same Only changed by Jesus Jesus never Glory to his name Glory to his name Glory to his name Only changed by Jesus Never Glory to his name That was the Bible verse being sung for us by Voice of Spiritual Praises Now it's quiz time Now we thought since Celia has retired We're producing some other quiz questions But maybe just for this week We'll go back and pick up a few seasonal questions that she produced last year Here's the first one for this week Question 1 Where did Joseph take Mary and Jesus after the visit of the wise men? I wonder if any of you can remember the answer From when we had it last time The same question, the answer will be the same as well One of our good friends David Brissington produces a very different show on this radio station Let's hear him tell you all about it Hi, I'm David Brissington And it's my pleasure to present the Country Hour on KTCR 105.8 FM You will hear classic country hits, old and new Plus news on local clubs and gigs I'm looking forward to spending this hour with you Until then, keep it country Keep it country You're listening to Believe Together A purchase together in KTCR and Salford production for KTCR FM 105.8 and online Now, you noticed at the beginning, didn't you That we played, we plough the fields and scatter And no it's not autumn, harvest time So, let's find out now what that's all about And now, for the thought for the week For the Kingdom Talking Newspaper Hi, I'm Trevor Stubbs And I've been asked to cheer us up in January I don't know about you, but January is my least favourite month of the year December can be pretty bleak But we have all the fuss and business of Christmas When everyone from community, church and schools Compete for the best dates to present their concerts and celebrations And there is all that preparation to do for the family get-togethers But then January arrives And after a few days to gather breath After staying up until midnight to see in the New Year We run into a spell of long, cold nights And ridiculously short days When the sun might not appear at all And even if it does, it has no power in it to warm our bones But the Christian calendar doesn't leave us totally without excitement There is Plough Sunday With its attention to the countryside The Feast of Epiphany Which our European friends made more of The baptism of Jesus in the River Jordan And the story of the marriage at Cana When Jesus turned water into wine I'll talk about Epiphany, Jesus' baptism and wedding In my next three epilogues For now, let me tell you about Plough Sunday This service on the calendar Has become in danger of extinction in recent years Maybe because it clashes with Epiphany or a covenant service And maybe because so many of us now live in towns and cities But our countryside and our farms still exist If it weren't for them, we would have empty food shops But in the past, there were many more people living in the countryside than do now Farm workers have been replaced by machines And even computers It can be a pretty lonely place for those who remain Especially the young And these days, we do not just expect them to produce our food But also to look to them to preserve our biodiversity and natural environment So, the Church should not forget them And it doesn't There is a Plough Sunday service in Salford on the 7th of January And I shall be at a special Plough Sunday service in Stowey Church It's surrounded by fields, woods, ditches and hedgerows A farmer will bring a large tractor with a plough which we will bless Of course, not all farming involves a plough These days, many fields are no-dig to preserve the soil structure And animals are as important as crops But the plough is symbolic It is the farmers that are blessed as they go out into the cold To plant and tend and work with nature To produce a harvest later in the year For me, Plough Sunday is no less important than Harvest Festival And the symbolism doesn't stop with the countryside Plough Sunday is the story of how God seeks to work in us We are his creation too And God ploughs, plants, tends and rears us if we let him So that we can produce a wonderful harvest in our own lives Now, I think this is an exciting way to combat a dull January Of course, anyone can join in this service You don't have to be a farmer or even live in the countryside You don't even have to have a garden Just an appreciation of what God can do for our lives and our world And a willingness to pray for his blessing May God bless you in this new year May God bless you in this new year May God bless you in this new year May God bless you in this new year May God bless you in this new year May God bless you in this new year May God bless you in this new year May God bless you in this new year May God bless you in this new year May God bless you in this new year May God bless you in this new year May God bless you in this new year May God bless you in this new year May God bless you in this new year May God bless you in this new year May God bless you in this new year May God bless you in this new year May God bless you in this new year May God bless you in this new year May God bless you in this new year May God bless you in this new year May God bless you in this new year Question 2 What is Aladdin's surname?

You're listening to Believe Together A Churches Together and Patriamant Salford production for KTCR FM 105.8 and online Right, it's that time we've all been waiting for Let's have the answers to this week's Just For Fun quiz OK, question 1 Question 1, where did Joseph take Mary and Jesus after the visit of the wise men? Well, they went to Egypt to escape from Herod Remember, an angel told them to go there in a dream Yes Question 2, what is Aladdin's surname? Well, do you remember Widow Twankey?

And very hungry It was Hansel and Gretel They ate the gingerbread house Well, I wonder how you did? I wonder if you knew the answers this time to those three questions I also wonder, have you been to a panto yourself recently? I certainly haven't for many, many years In fact, I only remember going to a little local one a few years ago I don't think I've ever been to a big one Right, now with all the things going on in the world things are very unsettling, aren't they? And even our own positions sometimes, our own situations can be unsettling in our families or our work or whatever But it's a good job that we can know who holds the future Can't we? Because God does hold the future So let's play that fantastic song I Know Who Holds The Future Here sung by the Exmouth Chapel I do not know what lies ahead A way I cannot see Yet one stands here to be my guide He'll show the way to me I know who holds the future And if I give it a hand With God things go to hand Everything I need in hand So as I face tomorrow With problems large and small I'll trust the God of miracles Yet today I'm my own I do not know how many days Of life are mine to spend But one who knows and cares for me Will keep me to the end I know who holds the future And if I give it a hand With God things go to hand Everything I need in hand So as I face tomorrow With problems large and small I'll trust the God of miracles Yet today I'm my own I do not know the course ahead What joys and griefs are there But one is near who fully knows How trust is God in care I know who holds the future And if I give it a hand With God things go to hand Everything I need in hand So as I face tomorrow With problems large and small I'll trust the God of miracles Yet today I'm my own So we're gonna play this story now So sit back and just soak it up But it was like he made a doubly real And that it was personal to him You know, that it meant something to him as well But it really meant something to me Adrian Galvin is my name I grew up in Waterford in the south east of Ireland And over the course of a couple of years I got delivered from the drink My relationship with Jesus got more and more meaningful And to the point where I was like committing It's like I'm supposed to be somewhere else It's like your glory presence is somewhere else for me We got satellite TV at home And I discovered Christian TV, God TV And then they showed some broadcasts To do with this outpouring of the Holy Spirit in Toronto And I was really hungry for it I went over and during the worship time I started to experience a lot of joy It was like waves of joy The joy of the Holy Spirit And it's always been very hard to describe But it was like I was somehow in the Galilee On the Sea of Galilee with Jesus When he was walking on water for the first time It was very ecstatic I was feeling his joy And we were spirit to spirit And I came out of the experience And for days I was just Just this joy Just waves of joy from the experience That was in September of the year When Christmas came On the lead up to Christmas I was living at a retreat centre in Cornwall And I was making plans to go back to Ireland For Christmas to be with my family And I didn't have much money And I prayed a prayer, a simple prayer A light prayer, I said I need to go back to Ireland I don't want to go back broke And I kind of left it with him A few days later The post arrived Got this envelope, opened it up And it was a Christmas card But in it there was a message From some friends of mine from Australia Who used to be the managers in the retreat centre And they said they were in Israel last September And they said we were on the Sea of Galilee Out on one of the worship boats I was having the experience in Toronto I was in the revival meeting in September And that was the same time that they were On the Sea of Galilee And she said I was just fellowshipping with the Lord Enjoying his presence And I saw a picture of you And she said Jesus what's he doing here And she heard Jesus say to her I want you to give Adrian 400 pounds And he said Now is not the time to give it to him I'll let you know when Come Christmas time She said on the lead up to Christmas Now is the time I want you to send it to him And I thought wow it was real And I knew it was real, I didn't doubt it was real But it was like he made it doubly real And that it was Personal to him That it meant something to him as well But it really meant something to me And it was like that touched me That he cared To give me the experience But also that he cared to bless me With the gift to go home with You probably don't fully realize The impact you can have When you share your story What's special to you can be really special To somebody else And there's something conveyed In sharing our testimony Of the eternal nature of God This is why I'm sharing today I just know how other people's stories Have impacted my life And it's a real joy to be able to do the same for others Ah that's great Now as Christians we are actually encouraged Indeed we are told To encourage one another Yes Maybe that would be a good resolution If you like Something for us all to aim at more In this new year More encouragement for each other Now that brings us to the end Of our hour very nearly And it's time for us to say goodbye Again And as we approach this new year Let's share a simple blessing We bless each other We bless each other in the name of Jesus As we approach the challenges And the opportunities Of this new year For ourselves and our communities Indeed Thank you Father Now we're going to play out in a minute With the Hallelujah Chorus Here by the Vienna State Orchestra Now this Hallelujah Chorus Why is it so popular at Christmas? Because in fact It was written by Handel As part of his great big Messiah Which is for Easter But of course the words of the Hallelujah Chorus are And he shall reign forever and ever Forever and ever King of Kings and Lord of Lords King of Kings So of course when Jesus was born Came to earth Well he became the King of Kings Didn't he? So he's still the King of Kings So let's enjoy this lovely Rousing performance Of the Hallelujah Chorus So goodbye Until next week Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Let your Heavens Be filled By mercy Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Let your Heavens Be filled By mercy Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Let your Heavens Be filled By mercy Let your Heavens Be filled By mercy Let your Heavens Be filled By mercy Let your Heavens Be filled By mercy Let your Heavens Be filled By mercy Let your Heavens Be filled By mercy Let your Heavens Be filled By mercy Let your Heavens Be filled By mercy Let your Heavens Be filled By mercy Let your Heavens Be filled By mercy Let your Heavens Be filled By mercy Let your Heavens Be filled By mercy Let your Heavens Be filled By mercy Let your Heavens Be filled By mercy Let your Heavens Be filled By mercy Let your Heavens Be filled By mercy Let your Heavens Be filled By mercy Let your Heavens Be filled By mercy Let your Heavens Be filled By mercy Let your Heavens Be filled By mercy Let your Heavens Be filled By mercy Let your Heavens Be filled By mercy Let your Heavens Be filled By mercy Let your Heavens Be filled By mercy Let your Heavens Be filled By mercy Let your Heavens Be filled By mercy Let your Heavens
