Sunday 10:30 AM
On a starlit hillside, shepherds watched their sheep.
Slowly, David’s city drifted off to sleep.
But to this little town of no great renown
The Lord had a promise to keep.
And who would have dreamed or ever foreseen
That we could hold God in our hands?
The Giver of Life is born in the night
Revealing God’s glorious plan
To save the world.
Prophets had foretold it, a mighty King would come
Long awaited Ruler, God’s Anointed One
But the Sovereign of all looked helpless and small
As God gave the world His own Son
Wondrous gift of heaven: the Father sends the Son
Planned from time eternal, moved by holy love
He will carry our curse and death He’ll reverse
So we can be daughters and sons

For the Christian hope is a confident expectation bound with the desire to experience God in the future.
Hope fails us when we shift the authority of our hopes.
The messiah filled manger gives us the confidence that God is with us.
It is easy to lose hope and that is why Christmas is such a necessary reminder of God’s love for us / His grace upon us.
Not only should we eagerly desire the presence of God in our life, we should confidently expect it.
