All right now, if we're honest, reading the Bible consistently can be a challenge, but it's never too late to start and we're in this together.

This is the Join the Journey podcast.

Thanks for joining. I am Sethmaster. And before we get started, I have a quick announcement today.

As we prepare for the Year of the Word, the Join team has created

family discussion cards in place of journals for 2025. These are a great tool for families with

kids of any age to read the Bible together and have conversations around what you're reading.

We'll be selling these discussion cards in the town center on Sundays in December and January,

and we'll also put the link to

purchase these in the podcast description below. So today, we're going to be looking at Luke 2, 19, and 20.

Holy moments. Holy moments are spread throughout the Bible, and we can look at stuff like the burning bush

where Moses met the Lord,

or Mount Sinai where Moses received the law,

or Isaiah finding himself surrounded by angels

singing literally, holy, holy, holy,

and then being burned with a piece of cool

instead of dying, I would say a holy moment

is a moment where we get a little bit more extensive glimpse

of who God is. And this then affects how we live after said moment. After the burn and bush,

Moses laid God's people out of Egypt. After Sinai, the people had a law to obey that would be

characterized and set themselves apart as God's people.

After Isaiah saw God's holiness and was saved from death, he went on to the Lord's service and spoke to a deaf people about the common judgment.

Now, you may have had a holy moment in your life.
