Leader: The time of gathering is here.
People: We have come from far and wide to offer our praise to God for God’s many blessings to us.
Leader: Open your hearts to God’s compassionate words of love.
People: Help us, O Lord, to receive your gifts in gratitude and to live lives of helpful service to others.
Leader: In Christ’s Name, we pray. People: AMEN.
HYMN “Thank You, Lord”
PRAYER OF CONFESSION:
Patient Lord, we are rushing headlong into the holiday season, forgetting that the word “holiday” is actually comprised of two words: “holy and day.” Forgive us when we treat the “holiday” as a task and a burden, when we load ourselves down with tasks that do not enhance this day. Help us move past the busyness of the day into the attitude of gratitude we should display for all the many wonders and blessings you have poured on us.
Forgive us when we grumble and gripe about the work and do not relish the delight in having family and friends together. Remind us that there are those for whom this day holds little delight and hope. Help us reach out to them with love, listening to their hearts and trying to meet their needs. Cause us to be people of Passion about the love you have given to us and about the joy of serving you by helping others.
In Jesus’ Name, we pray. AMEN.

THE CHRIST OF CHRISTMAS

ONE DAY THE GOVERNMENT WILL BE PERFECT
Isaiah 9:1-5 ESV
But there will be no gloom for her who was in anguish. In the former time he brought into contempt the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but in the latter time he has made glorious the way of the sea, the land beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations. [2] The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who dwelt in a land of deep darkness, on them has light shone. [3] You have multiplied the nation; you have increased its joy; they rejoice before you as with joy at the harvest, as they are glad when they divide the spoil. [4] For the yoke of his burden, and the staff for his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, you have broken as on the day of Midian. [5] For every boot of the tramping warrior in battle tumult and every garment rolled in blood will be burned as fuel for the fire.

BECAUSE THE ONE GOVERNING IT WILL BE PERFECT
Isaiah 9:6 ESV
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

AND HIS PERFECTION WILL LAST FOREVER
Isaiah 9:7 ESV
Of the increase of his government and of peace there will be no end, on the throne of David and over his kingdom, to establish it and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from this time forth and forevermore. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will do this.

A PERFECT GOVERNMENT!
RUN BY A PERFECT RULER!
THAT WILL LAST FOREVER...WILL YOU BE A PART OF IT?

Isaiah 9:1-7 // The Christ of Christmas (Part 2) // Pastor Eddy Fredryk
