Ought to be Begot

Series: The Son of God, Our Lord

Ought to be Begot

December 05, 2021 | Cooper Bryan

Passage: Colossians 1:15-20

During advent, we celebrate the fact of the incarnation. Jesus, fully God and fully man, was coming into the world! God in flesh; God with us. But why was the incarnation necessary in the first place? What is the relationship between the necessity of the incarnation and the nature of the incarnation? Building from Paul's Christ Hymn in Colossians 1:15-20 and taking our interpretive cues from the early church Father Athanasius, we explore why the incarnation fills us with wonder and drives us to worship.

O Come O Come Emmanuel

Trinity Community Worship Team w/ Added Lyrics by Sovereign Grace

O come, O come, Emmanuel and ransom captive Israel

That mourns in lonely exile here until the Son of God appear

Rejoice, Rejoice, Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel

O come, Thou, Dayspring from on high and cause Thy light on us to rise

Disperse the gloomy clouds of night and death’s dark shadow put to flight

Rejoice, Rejoice, Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel

O come, O come, true prophet of the Lord and turn the key to heaven’s door

Be Thou our comforter and guide and lead us to the Father’s side

Rejoice, Rejoice, Emmanuel shall by His word, our darkness dispel

O come, our great High Priest, and intercede, Thy sacrifice, our only plea

The judgment we no longer fear, Thy precious blood has brought us near

Rejoice, Rejoice, Emmanuel has banished every fear of hell

O Come, Thou King of nations bring an end to all our suffering

Bid every pain and sorrow cease and reign now as our Prince of Peace

Rejoice, Rejoice, Emmanuel shall come again with us to dwell

Rejoice, Rejoice, Emmanuel shall come again with us to dwell

Joyful Joyful We Adore Thee

Traditional Hymn w/ Chorus from Rend Collective

Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee, God of glory, Lord of love

Hearts unfold like flowers before Thee, Opening to the sun above

Melt the clouds of sin and sadness Drive the dark of doubt away

Giver of immortal gladness Fill us with the light of day

Rejoice, rejoice, our God is here with us

Emmanuel, our God is still with us

All Thy works with joy surround Thee, Earth and heaven reflect Thy rays

Stars and angels sing around Thee, Center of unbroken praise

Ever singing, march we onward, Victors in the midst of strife

Joyful music leads us sunward In the triumph song of life

ADVENT READING 

SERMON

 

Come And Stand Amazed

Citizens & Saints

 

Come and stand amazed, you people, see how God is reconciled

See His plans of love accomplished; see His gift, this newborn child

See the Mighty weak and tender see the Word who now is mute

See the Sovereign without splendor; see the Fullness destitute.

 

See how humankind received Him; See Him wrapped in swaddling bands

Who as Lord of all creation rules the wind by His commands

See him lying in a manger without sign of reasoning

Word of God to flesh surrendered He is wisdom’s crown our King

 

O Lord Jesus, God incarnate, who assumed this humble form

Counsel me and let my wishes to Your perfect will conform

Light of life, dispel my darkness, Let your frailty strengthen me;

Let your meekness give me boldness Let your burden set me free;

O Emmanuel, my Savior, let your death be life for me.

 

What Child Is This?

Traditional Hymn

 

What Child is this who laid to rest on Mary's lap is sleeping

Whom Angels greet with anthems sweet while shepherds watch are keeping

 

Why lies He in such mean estate, where ox and lamb are feed - ing?

Good Christian, fear, for sinners here, the silent Word is pleading

 

This this is Christ the King

Whom shepherds guard and Angels sing

Haste haste to sing His praise

The Babe the Son of Mary

 

So bring Him incense gold and myrrh, come Peasant King to own Him

The King of Kings salvation brings let loving hearts enthrone Him

 

Raise, raise a song on high, the virgin sings her lul - laby

Joy, joy for Christ is born, The Babe, the Son of Mary

Nails spear shall pierce Him through, the cross He'll bear for me for you

Hail hail the Word made flesh, the Babe the Son of Mary

 

COMMUNION

 

What A Beautiful Name

Hillsong Worship

 

You were the Word at the beginning

One with God the Lord Most High

Your hidden glory in creation

Now revealed in You our Christ

 

What a beautiful Name it is what a beautiful Name it is

The Name of Jesus Christ my King

What a beautiful Name it is nothing compares to this

What a beautiful Name it is the Name of Jesus

 

You could have had heaven without us

But, Jesus You brought heaven down

My sin was great Your love was greater

What could separate us now

 

What a wonderful Name it is what a wonderful Name it is

The Name of Jesus Christ my King

What a wonderful Name it is nothing compares to this

What a wonderful Name it is the Name of Jesus

What a wonderful Name it is the Name of Jesus

 

Death could not hold You, the veil tore before You

You silence the boast of sin and grave

The heavens are roaring the praise of Your glory

For You are raised to life again

You have no rival You have no equal

Now and forever God You reign

Yours is the kingdom Yours is the glory

Yours is the Name above all names

 

What a powerful Name it is what a powerful Name it is

The Name of Jesus Christ my King

What a powerful Name it is nothing can stand against

What a powerful Name it is the Name of Jesus

 

Behold the Lamb of God

Andrew Peterson

 

We who walk in darkness deep

Now see the light of morning

The mighty God the Prince of peace

A child to us is born

 

Behold, the Lamb of God Who takes away our sin

Behold the Lamb of God The life and light of men

Behold the Lamb of God Who died and rose again

Behold the Lamb of God who comes To take away our sin

 

Wanderers in the wilderness

O hear a voice is crying

Prepare the way make straight the path

Your King has come to die

 

Son of God--Emmanuel

Son of Man--we praise you

Behold the Lamb

The hope of man

Behold the Lamb

 

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
