O come let us adore Him

Christ, the Lord.

We'll praise his name forever

Christ, the Lord.

We'll give Him all the glory

Christ the Lord.

For He alone is worthy

Christ, the Lord.

I came across an article from Haven Today about this carol and I would like to share some exerts with you.

O come, let us adore Him!

“Adore” is a worship word. And when you give voice to your adoration, it’s called praise. So the call to “come” and “adore Him” is really a call to worship and praise Jesus! That’s what Christmas is really about. Worship. And by the way, worship is also God’s will for all the nations of the world.

“For as the soil makes the sprout come up and a garden causes seeds to grow, so the Sovereign LORD will make righteousness and praise spring up before all nations.” (Isaiah 61:11, NIV).

As John Piper famously wrote, “Missions exists because worship doesn’t.” God’s will is for all the nations of the world to come and adore the Lord Jesus. But that’s not happening, is it? Not fully. There is a long, long way to go.

About one-third of the world’s population is unreached. The most accurate statistic we have is an estimate: 3.2 billion people have never heard the Gospel, met a Christian, and in many cases, have never even heard the name of Jesus.

O come, let us adore Him!

It’s a call to WORSHIP and a call to MISSIONS.

WHAT TO EXPECT SUNDAY

Our message is entitled "Compliant Conduits" and we will explore the courage shown by the central characters in the Christmas story. Our worship begins at 10:30 am and Sunday School kicks off our morning at 9:15am. Come for a cup of coffee and a donut.

Note: We will be in the fellowship room again this week due to furnace issues.

Also we do plan to meet on Sunday, no matter the weather, but do not come if you don't feel safe.

Here is a song you will hear Sunday,The First Noel Lyrics - Stars Go Dim
