How's Your
Hearing?
Luke 8:1-21.

But..
Luke 1:2-25.
As we lead up to Christmas and the end of the year our thoughts often turn to hope; what we might find wrapped under the tree, time with family, food and fun, a change in circumstances for the new year – a better job, health or new relationship. Our hopes, however, are often crushed before they get off the ground with one word.
