Bible Ballads 08 Jesus at Twelve

We know very little about Jesus’s growing-up years, apart from Mary’s recollection of a frightening and amazing incident that took place in Jerusalem when he was twelve! David Ritchie introduces this episode by comparing his own experience of church as a twelve-year-old with Jesus' experience in the Temple.   Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/sky-toes/we-believe-in-you [https://click.pstmrk.it/3s/uppbeat.io%2Ft%2Fsky-toes%2Fwe-believe-in-you/vZub/rxe8AQ/AQ/a3cee621-d4d1-4088-9272-e2e3c53da0d1/4/P65U13EMFc] License code: NGXBWDRSF34JM7YB   Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/sky-toes/autumn-walks [https://track.pstmrk.it/3s/uppbeat.io%2Ft%2Fsky-toes%2Fautumn-walks/vZub/y0K9AQ/AQ/fc611f04-d79a-456e-86b9-47102fcf366d/4/0klMMONp0G] License code: QDEIZKVBPLFK4JV3

Bible Ballads 06 Punching above their weight

God’s ways are often surprising. In the eyes of many in Jesus’ day, shepherds were unclean, uncouth, and unsophisticated ‘bogans’, to use an Australian slang. By the social standards of the time, they were uniquely unqualified to be the first to receive such monumental news, and to share it with others. Yet it was to these humble shepherds that the angel appeared, heralding our Lord and Saviour’s arrival in Bethlehem.   Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/sky-toes/we-believe-in-you [https://click.pstmrk.it/3s/uppbeat.io%2Ft%2Fsky-toes%2Fwe-believe-in-you/vZub/rxe8AQ/AQ/a3cee621-d4d1-4088-9272-e2e3c53da0d1/4/P65U13EMFc] License code: NGXBWDRSF34JM7YB   Music from #Uppbeat (free for Creators!): https://uppbeat.io/t/brock-hewitt-stories-in-sound/hark-the-herald-angels-sing [https://click.pstmrk.it/3s/uppbeat.io%2Ft%2Fbrock-hewitt-stories-in-sound%2Fhark-the-herald-angels-sing/vZub/1e28AQ/AQ/66b15aec-0fa3-496a-8be7-98610141bd76/4/NcqZUNKfkY] License code: KXTGMYZS1MV0H1BL
