Sermon for Sunday, December 13, 2009
“What To Remember When You Can’t Forget”
What should our response be when we're hurt? What steps should we take, what example should we follow. In this sermon, we'll explore scriptures as well as our hearts to discover some simple truths to forgiving.
Set List for December 13, 2009
Angels From the Realms of Glory
James Montgomery, Henry Thomas Smart
Traditional Hymn
O Come All Ye Faithful
Frederick Oakeley & John Francis Wade
Traditional Hymn
O Come O Come Emmanuel
Henry Sloane Coffin, Thomas Helmore, John Mason Neale
Traditional Hymn
Silent Night
Joseph Mohr, John Freeman Young
Traditional Hymn
Offering
Paul Baloche
From the CD “Songs For Worship Christmas Joy” by Various Artist
Angels We Have Heard On High
James Chadwick, Edward Shippen Barnes
Traditional Hymn
We begin a new series this week entitled “Christmas is For-giving”. This series deals with the topic of forgiveness (the title of course is a play on words), which I think is a perfect for this time of year. Many of us will be getting together with family and friends during the next month to celebrate Christmas. As we get together with people; many who we only see a couple times a year, we can let past hurts get in the way of the joy that we have fought so hard for during the past series. Will you be seeing someone who has hurt you this Christmas season? More than likely the answer is yes. The good news is that God can help us to get past all the hurt of our past. I think this series will help us continue our fight for joy as we face one of the largest joy thieves of them all: Unforgiveness. Most of our music for the next couple of weeks focuses on Christmas. Many of the songs are traditional Christmas hymns that we will be putting our own Oasis flavor to, so there won’t be a lot of links to listen. Do check out the one song I have linked this week entitled “Offering”. This is a song that we have worshipped with in the past, but with a Christmas verse that has been added to really make it special for this time of year. Thanks for taking time to better prepare yourself for worship at Oasis. I look forward to worshiping with you on Sunday.
