A Light Has Dawned

Christ is the Messiah of the Jews, but he is proven to be so when he is made available to the Gentiles. The visit of the Magi is a foretaste of the global missions that Jesus sent his Church to accomplish. As we begin the year, let’s remember that the Gospel is for all the world, and Christ’s mission will not fail.

WELCOME 

CALL TO WORSHIP

Isaiah 60:1-9

 

RESPONSIVE READING (From Micah 4)

Leader: In the last days 

the mountain of the Lord’s temple will be established

   as the highest of the mountains;

it will be exalted above the hills,

    and peoples will stream to it.

Many nations will come and say,

Congregation:

“Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,

    to the temple of the God of Jacob.

He will teach us his ways,

    so that we may walk in his paths.”

Leader:

The law will go out from Zion,

    the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

He will judge between many peoples

    and will settle disputes for strong nations far and wide.

They will beat their swords into plowshares

    and their spears into pruning hooks.

Nation will not take up sword against nation,

    nor will they train for war anymore.

Congregation:

Everyone will sit under their own vine

    and under their own fig tree,

and no one will make them afraid,

    for the Lord Almighty has spoken.

All the nations may walk

    in the name of their gods,

but we will walk in the name of the Lord

    our God for ever and ever.

SCRIPTURE READING 

SERMON

 

Light of the World (Sing Hallelujah) / Great Are You Lord

We The Kingdom 

 

Light of the world Treasure of heaven

Brilliant like the stars in the wintery sky

Joy of the father Reach through the darkness

Shine across the earth Send the shadows to flight

 

Light of the world from the begin - ning

The tragedies of time were no match for your love

From great heights of glory You saw our story

God you entered in and be - came one of us

 

Sing hallelujah Sing hallelujah

Sing hallelujah for the things he has done

Come and adore him bow down before him

Sing hallelujah to the light of the world

 

Light of the world crown in a manger

Born for the cross to suffer, to save

High king of heaven death is the poorer

We are the richer by the price that he paid

 

Light of the world soon will be coming

With fire in his eyes He will ransom his own

Through clouds he will lead us straight into glory

And there he shall reign Forever - more

Forevermore

 

You give life You are love

You bring light to the darkness

You give hope You restore 

ev'ry heart that is broken

And great are You Lord

 

It's Your breath in our lungs

So we pour out our praise

We pour out our praise

It's Your breath in our lungs

So we pour out our praise to You only

 

And all the earth will shout Your praise 

Our hearts will cry these bones will sing

Great are You Lord

 

COMMUNION

 

King of Kings

Hillsong Worship

 

In the darkness we were waiting

Without hope without light

Till from heaven You came running

There was mercy in Your eyes

To fulfill the law and prophets

To a virgin came the Word

From a throne of endless glory

To a cradle in the dirt

 

Praise the Father Praise the Son

Praise the Spirit Three in One

God of glory, Majesty

Praise forever to the King of Kings

 

To reveal the kingdom coming

And to reconcile the lost

To redeem the whole creation

You did not despise the cross

For even in Your suffering

You saw to the other side

Knowing this was our salvation

Jesus for our sake You died

 

And the morning that You rose

All of heaven held its breath

Till that stone was moved for good

For the Lamb had conquered death

And the dead rose from their tombs

And the angels stood in awe

For the souls of all who’d come

To the Father are restored

 

And the Church of Christ was born

Then the Spirit lit the flame

Now this gospel truth of old

Shall not kneel shall not faint

By His blood and in His Name

In His freedom I am free

For the love of Jesus Christ

Who has resurrected me

 

My Jesus I Love Thee

Worship Initiative

 

My Jesus I love Thee I know Thou art mine

For Thee all the follies of sin I resign

My gracious Redeemer my Savior art Thou

If ever I loved Thee my Jesus 'tis now

 

I love Thee because Thou hast first loved me

And purchased my pardon on Calvary's tree

I love Thee for wearing the thorns on Thy brow

If ever I loved Thee my Jesus 'tis now

 

I'll love Thee in life I will love Thee in death

And praise Thee as long as Thou lendest me breath

And say when the death dew lies cold on my brow

If ever I loved Thee my Jesus 'tis now

 

In mansions of glory and endless delight

I'll ever adore Thee in heaven so bright

I'll sing with the glittering crown on my brow

If ever I loved Thee my Jesus 'tis now

Doxology

Praise God from whom all blessings flow

Praise Him all Creatures here below

Praise him above ye heavenly host

Praise Father Son and Holy Ghost

Amen
