Incarnation

Third Sunday of Advent

Hymn:  The First Noel

 

 

 

 


Advent Calendar, Candle of Joy

Hymn:  Angels We Have Heard on High

Responsive Reading:  "An Event for Everyone'

 Special Music, "Is He Worthy" by Chris Tomlin 

 "Is He Worthy" lyrics:   Do you feel the world is broken? (We do) 

Do you feel the shadows deepen? (We do)

 But do you know that all the dark won't 

Stop the light from getting through? (We do)

 Do you wish that you could see it all made new? (We do)

 Is all creation groaning? (It is) 

Is a new creation coming? (It is)

 Is the glory of the Lord to be the light within our midst? (It is)

 Is it good that we remind ourselves of this? (It is)

 Is anyone worthy? Is anyone whole?

 Is anyone able to break the seal and open the scroll?

 The Lion of Judah who conquered the grave

 He was David's root and the Lamb who died to ransom the slave

 Is He worthy? Is He worthy? 

Of all blessing and honor and glory

 Is He worthy of this? He is 

Does the Father truly love us? (He does) 

Does the Spirit move among us? (He does) 

And does Jesus, our Messiah hold forever those He loves? (He does) 

Does our God intend to dwell again with us? (He does)

 Is anyone worthy? Is anyone whole?

 Is anyone able to break the seal and open the scroll?

 The Lion of Judah who conquered the grave

 He is David's root and the Lamb who died to ransom the slave 

From every people and tribe Every nation and tongue

 He has made us a kingdom and priests to God 

To reign with the Son

 Is He worthy? Is He worthy? 

 Of all blessing and honor and glory

 Is He worthy? Is He worthy?

 Is He worthy of this? He is!

 Is He worthy? Is He worthy? He is! He is

 

Sermon:  "Jesus is Worthy"

Hymn:  Hark the Herald Angels Sing

Old churches must not simply stand as monuments to the past but as spiritual grandparents that have invested in the future by passing on their life to others and releasing their offspring to form new congregations. ~ unknown
