Getting Ready for Sunday, December 12, 2010


There are many names for Jesus, but what do they really mean? Join us as we discover why He is called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace. You’ll gain a new and relevant perspective on the Savior who was born in a manger over two thousand years ago.

We continue our series “He Will Be Called” this Sunday as we focus on the name “Mighty God”. We truly serve a mighty God who gave up all of heaven to come to earth as a little baby. This week our music continues the Christmas Theme….well, after we open with the song “All Because of Jesus”. I thought this song was fitting as it proclaims that we wouldn’t be alive without the power of Christ. From there, we will move into “Hark The Herald Angels Sing” as we remember and celebrate the angels’ proclamation that Christ had come. I love the next song, “You Are Holy” because of the many names of God that are used throughout the song. And how fitting to use during our series about the names that Isaiah used to describe the coming Savior. This Sunday we will be proclaiming those names to all who will listen.

“O Come All Ye Faithful” is a call to worship and adore our Savior. This song has all the makings of a traditional Christmas Hymn, but points us right back to the purpose of worship rather than just remembering the way Christ came. We will finish with the song “Offering” which continues that theme of worship. I love the chorus, “I bring an offering of worship to my King. No one on earth deserves the praises that I sing. Jesus may you receive the honor that you’re due. O Lord I bring an offering to You.” Come prepared to give your offering of praise as we lift our voices together this Sunday. Check out the songs ahead of time by clicking the titles in the list above. As always, I really look forward to worshipping with you on Sunday.
