Prayer:
Stir up your power, O Lord, and with great might come among us; and, because we are sorely hindered by our sins, let your bountiful grace and mercy speedily help and deliver us; through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom, with you and the Holy Spirit, be honor and glory, now and for ever. Amen.
SONG: What glory now our eyes have seen
What glory now our eyes have seen
From angels' praise on high
The King of Glory condescends
To shine into our night
Glory to God in the highest
The saints and the angels sing
Praise and adore him Messiah
Glory to the newborn King
And now we see the kingdom come
The darkness turns to light
The shout of sin is overthrown
By the baby's cry
Now this light our eyes have seen
Our faith turned into sight
The promise of the coming King
We now behold in Christ
Corporate Prayer
READING OF THE WORD – Philippians 4:4-9
At the conclusion of the reading, the speaker will say, “The Word of the Lord,” to which we all reply:
Thanks Be To God
SONG: joy to the world
Joy to the world, the Lord is come!
Let earth receive her King;
Let every heart prepare Him room,
And heav’n and nature sing,
And heav’n and nature sing,
And heav’n, and heav’n, and nature sing.
Joy to the earth, the Savior reigns!
Let men their songs employ;
While fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat, repeat, the sounding joy.
No more let sins and sorrows grow,
Nor thorns infest the ground;
He comes to make His blessings flow
Far as the curse is found,
Far as the curse is found,
Far as, far as, the curse is found.
He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness,
And wonders of His love,
And wonders of His love,
And wonders, wonders, of His love.
SONG: CHRIST THE SURE AND STEADY ANCHOR
Christ the sure and steady Anchor in the fury of the storm
When the winds of doubt blow through me and my sails have all been torn
In the suffering, in the sorrow, when my sinking hopes are few
I will hold fast to the Anchor, it will never be removed
Christ the sure and steady Anchor while the tempest rages on
When temptation claims the battle and it seems the night has won
Deeper still then goes the Anchor though I justly stand accused
I will hold fast to the Anchor, it shall never be removed
Christ the sure and steady Anchor through the fields of unbelief
Hopeless somehow O my soul now lift your eyes to Calvary
This my ballast of assurance, see His love forever proved
All my hope is in the Anchor, it shall never be removed
Christ the sure and steady Anchor as we face the wave of death
When these trials give way to glory as we draw our final breath
We will cross that great horizon clouds behind and life secured
And the calm will be the better for the storms that we endured
Christ the shore of our salvation ever faithful ever true
We will hold fast to the Anchor, it shall never be removed
Sermon: waiting on Joy - Luke 1:46-55
Communion
SONG: ALL I HAVE & ALL I NEED (PSALM 34)
The Lord is near the broken hearted
For crushed in spirit He does care
Draw near to Him all His children
No thing too heavy for Him to bear
The Lord redeems my life, I shall not be condemned
When we cry for help, yes our God does hear
If we hide in Him, He does calm our fears
We will thirst no more, the hungry He will feed
He’s all that I have and all that I need
My soul will boast in its savior
Let humble hear and be glad
Oh magnify the lord together
Sing his glory through the night
See this poor man cried, the Lord did rescue him
Yes the Lord is good oh I taste and see
That He’s all that I have and He’s all that I need
Benediction:
May we be compelled by the love of God, the gospel of Jesus, and the presence of the Holy Spirit to pursue His mission for our good and His glory.
