On this episode of the Shepherdcast, we will be taking a look at 2 Samuel 7: 1-11, 16, the Gospel of Luke 1: 46b-55, Romans 16: 25-27, and the Gospel of Luke 1: 26-38, and the Reverend Scott J. Anderson will be discussing that time an angel told a virgin bride-to-be that she was about to have a baby that had some special abilities (and despite the Ohio State banter, this kid was about to do a lot more than win the Big Ten Championship!). Today’s episode came from our worship service on Sunday, December 20, 2020.

In case you are reading along with a Bible and our readings don’t necessarily match up with yours, we use the NRSV translation of the Holy Bible.
