Good morning, we’re glad you are here worshiping with us on this first Sunday of Advent. The Advent season is when we look back and remember the first coming of Christ, and look ahead to his return. Each week, we’ll begin our services with this next song that was taken from the words of a Puritan prayer as we remember who Jesus is, and what He has done…
JOY TO THE WORLD (UNSPEAKABLE JOY)
LAMB OF GOD
Readings: Genesis 38:24-30, Matthew 1:1-6a
Sermon: Genesis 38:1-30
The good news of the gospel is not that Jesus came to take good people and make them better, it is that Jesus came to take dead people and make them alive. Some of us wear our sin and brokenness on the outside, all of us have sin and brokenness on the inside - and every one of us is equally as in need of a Savior. Your brokenness and sin do not repel God, it invites His grace. So would you stand if you’re able and we’ll draw near to the one who has first drawn near to us in Christ.
O HOLY NIGHT (HEAR THE GOSPEL STORY)
HOLY FOREVER
Benediction
