New Sermon Series: Joy to the World!

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)

Christmas Music, Part 25 – Hallelujah Chorus

25 Dec

Messiah (HWV 56) is an English-language oratorio composed in 1741 by George Frideric Handel, with a scriptural text compiled by Charles Jennens from the King James Bible, and from the Psalms. It was first performed in Dublin on 13 April 1742, and received its London premiere nearly a year later. After an initially modest public reception, the oratorio gained in popularity, eventually becoming one of the best-known and most frequently performed choral works in Western music.

Part II of the Messiah covers the Passion, death, resurrection, ascension, and the later spreading of the Gospel, concluded by the “Hallelujah Chorus”.

The Mormon Tabernacle Choir sings the classical and beloved Hallelujah Chorus from Handel’s Messiah.
