177 Santa The Bishop

Send us Fan Mail   Summary:  Santa Claus is part of the enchanted world in our culture. At least we act like it. But our cultural image of Santa is rooted in a historical figure who is known as the patron saint of pawnbrokers. Today, we’ll take a look at the real Santa Claus and the gift he points to that is more valuable than gold, even in inflationary times.    Referenced Bible verses:  Romans 6:23; Ephesians 2:8-10; John 3:16; Revelation 22:17     Please note that Rev. Sally Welch appears on-screen in the first 30-or so of our videos to bring encouragement and the benediction.   Our Email Address:  [email protected]   Here’s the link for a free digital version of Luther’s Small Catechism on the basics of the Christian faith: https://www.augsburgfortress.org/store/product/22879/Luther-Small-Catechism-App    Here are our related links:   Facebook Page (for live video): https://www.facebook.com/dberkedal/  and advance broadcasts at www.facebook.com/solwpage    Blog (for theme text):  pastorberkedalsblog.blogspot.com    Podcast (for downloadable audio) at:  https://livingwaterradio.buzzsprout.com   YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCB7KnYS1bpHKaL2OseQWCnw        **Please click or tap on Subscribe to receive notifications of future videos.
