Christmas

A Christmas Carol

Radio Theatre | Focus on the Family

Sat. 12/18 – 2:01pm; Fri. 12/24 – 4:01pm & Sat 12/25 3:01pm

Charles Dickens was just 12 years old when he saw firsthand the devastating effects of child labor.  He never forgot those images.  In 1843 he wrote a pamphlet titled: “An Appeal to the People of England, on Behalf of the Poor Man’s Child.”  It became the story of Dickens’ “A Christmas Carol.”  This two-hour special from Focus on the Family brings to life the story of miserly Scrooge who in one momentous night is confronted by his own lack of compassion—and given the opportunity to change not only his life, but also, others too!  It’s a message that defines the spirit of the season regarding Christ’s birth and His loving compassion for mankind!

A Parkside Christmas

Alistair Begg | Parkside Church

Sun. 12/29 – 5:05pm; Fri. 12/24 – 11:05pm & Sat. 12/25 – 6:05pm

Carter Conlin | Times Square Church

Mon. 12/20 – 7:05pm; Fri. 12/24 – 9:05am & Sat. 12/25 – 12:30pm

This Christmas, let the light of Christ come into your heart and give you courage to live in a world that at times can feel dark.  This is a message of hope and light in a time of darkness.  Remember this holiday season that nothing is ordinary if Christ is in it.  Every promise He made will be fulfilled.  It all started two-thousand years ago with the birth of a Child.

Charles Morris

The Son of David

Charles Morris | Haven Ministries

Sat 12/18 – 12:05pm; Sun. 12/19 – 7:05pm & Sat. – 12/25 – 2:05pm

Looking at the Gospel of Luke as well as the prophets of old, Charles Morris will seek to answer the question, “Why is Jesus the Son of David?”  The stunning answer shows us that Christmas isn’t just something that happened unexpectedly— it was planned by God, foretold in the Old Testament, and fulfilled by Jesus.

Christmas in America 2000

Andy Napier

The Gift of The Gospel

Andy Napier | Trans World Radio

Tue. 12/21 – 9:05am; Thu. 12/23 – 2:05pm & Sat. 12/25 9:05pm

When you’re gathered around the family Christmas dinner and a non-believing family member asks a question about Jesus, you realize this is an opportunity like no other! In sports terminology, “the Lord is lobbing a softball across the plate” for you to share your faith.  Will your swing be a homerun?  Will it be a half-hearted swing?  Or will you watch the ball go completely by and say nothing, missing the opportunity?  TWR’s Andy Napier, producer of the two-minute radio short feature Footsteps, has interviewed some of the most powerful names in Christian ministry, asking them about how they share their faith.  Andy has compiled these interviews into a 25-minute Christmas special to give you the tools and encouragement you need to share your own personal faith with your family and friends this Christmas season.

Voices of Christmas

Radio Theatre from Love Worth Finding 

Weekdays from 12/14 – 12/23 – 6:50am & 4:40pm

Love Worth Finding with Adrian Rogers has produced a biblically based radio theater for the Christmas story.  Voices of Christmas introduces the Scriptural characters most people will recognize as having played a role in the unfolding of the birth of our Lord and Savior. The dramatizations are four to five minutes a piece and are augmented with music and sound effects for a captivating presentation. The episodes are “imagined” as opposed to being taken directly from Scripture. Still, Love Worth Finding has been careful to adhere to biblical truth in the storytelling.
