Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against anyone among your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the LORD. ~
Leviticus 19:18
Today’s Bible Verse
Joy to the World the Lord is come. Do we really understand what it means to call Jesus Lord? In this season of baby Jesus and sentimentality do we realize the baby came to save but also to judge? Righteousness is the gift of Christmas and that goes beyond trees and presents and googly feelings. Righteousness is what we need and what we will live in during this ADVENT.
“Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth,burst into jubilant song with music; make music to the Lord with the harp,with the harp and the sound of singing,with trumpets and the blast of the ram’s horn-shout for joy before the Lord, the King.” (Psalm 98:4-6)
Sermon December 1: Sing Out the Joy –Isaiah 42:10-17
Advent is a time to take stock of the fact that Joy comes to the world because the Lord has come. Isaiah foretold that when the Messiah came, He would give us JOY in the midst of the harshness of life.
I wonder can we find the joy in the midst of the events in our economy, in a marriage gone sour, in a nation that is conflicted?
Let’s discover the joy the Lord will bring.
“Sing to the Lord a new song, his praise from the ends of the earth…”
(Isaiah 42:10)
