    25 Days of Christmas – Day 3

      Hark the Harold Angels Sing

      A welcome message from Pastor Kurt:

      In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Amen!

      As you begin your time of devotion, today, I invite you to take a minute or two to click the link below and watch the video below and settle your heart and focus your mind on the Lord. Feel free to watch as much or as little of the video as you want.

      Today’s Devotional Message from Pastor Kurt:

      Next, let’s spend some time in prayer.

      Heavenly Father,

      You sent Your Son into the world to reconcile us. By our sinful nature, we were estranged from You, our relationship with You broken. Yet, You sacrificed everything to fix that relationship and even call us sons and daughters, making that little baby in the manger our brother and calling us friends. Thank You.

      Help me to have a closer and closer relationship with You each day of my life. 

      (Take this time to pray whatever is on your heart.)

      The Lord’s Prayer:

      Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name,
      Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
      Give us this day our daily bread;
      And       forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us;
      And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. 
      For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever.

      Amen

        Today’s Devotional Message from Pastor Kurt:

        Next, let’s spend some time in prayer.

        Heavenly Father,

        It must have been so exciting to hear the angels singing and go see Jesus in the manger. Today, it is still exciting. I praise the name of Jesus our King. May I always praise His name and tell the people around me about Him.

        (Take this time to pray whatever is on your heart.)

          Heavenly Father,

          You have sent Your Son to us, to dwell among us. He is Jesus, our savior. Thank You for caring so much for us that You are willing to come to us in all our messiness and sinfulness. Thank You for saving us.

          As I go through this Christmas season, help me to always remember that not only is Jesus the reason for the season, but Jesus came to die for my sins and rise again. May the manger always lead me to the cross and the empty tomb.

          (Take this time to pray whatever is on your heart.)

          The Lord’s Prayer:

          Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name,

          Be Prepared…For Our King

          Be Prepared…For Our King

            Be Prepared...For Our King

            “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” – Isaiah 9:6

            Jesus is Lord. We hear that and say that a lot, but what does it mean? It means He rules. He rules us. He rules the world. He rules all of creation. He gets to call the shots and He is our judge.

            So, how does Jesus rule?

            Jesus’ rule can be divided into three kingdoms, the kingdom of power, the kingdom of grace, and the kingdom of glory. He rules over each absolutely, but differently.

            The Kingdom of Power:

            And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. – Matthew 28:18

            Christ is the King of all of creation. He is the king of the land and the seas. He rules over all people, even those who do not believe in Him. In this kingdom, He rules by His almighty power. No one is above Him and His Law is final.

            The Kingdom of Grace:

            And I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name, which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are one…I do not ask that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one. – John 17:11, 15

            This is the kingdom of all who believe in Jesus, His church. His Law is still good and true, but He judges us not by the Law, but rather by His grace as displayed on the cross. He rules in forgiveness and changes us from the inside out. We are His and are called to be in the world, but not of it, living as His ambassadors of reconciliation.

            The Kingdom of Heaven:

            The Lord will rescue me from every evil deed and bring me safely into his heavenly kingdom. To him be the glory forever and ever. Amen. – 2 Timothy 4:18

            Jesus is the ruler of heaven and earth. In heaven, He also reigns as God, whether it be over angels or those in the church who have gone to be with our Lord. Every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.

            So, yes, Jesus is Lord! I pray that for you, as for me, You are in His Kingdom of Grace, trusting His work on the cross and being ruled by His grace and forgiveness. 

            Dear Jesus,

            You are the creator and ruler of all. Create in me a clean heart and fill me with Your Spirit. Rule over my heart and mind and draw me continually to You and Your promises of Grace and forgiveness.

            Amen.

            Be Prepared…For Our Priest

            Be Prepared…For Our Priest

              Be Prepared...For Our High Priest

              Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has ascended into heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin. Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. – Hebrews 4:14-16

              A priest is one who intercedes for us before God as well as gives God’s Word. In the Old Testament’s priestly system, there were many priests, however, there was only one chief priest. The chief priest had some very specific tasks, including going into the Holy of Holies in the temple (or tabernacle) once a year and sprinkling the blood of a sacrifice on God’s Mercy Seat. He interceded for the forgiveness of the Israelites. 

              The One, True Sacrifice
              Jesus interceded for us, not sprinkling the blood of a bull, but his own blood. He continues to intercede for us every day. Jesus is both our High Priest and our sacrifice. The sacrifices of bulls and lambs before Him were a shadow of the one true sacrifice, Jesus. His blood brought us true forgiveness of our sins.

              So, What’s the Big Deal?
              Jesus is True God and True Man. His divinity gives us confidence that He can and will fulfill every promise. When Jesus says we are forgiven, we are. When Jesus says we will be raised again, we will.

              Jesus is also True Man, though. His humanity assures us that our high priest knows what it is like to be human. He knows what it’s like to suffer. He knows what it’s like to be tempted (though He never gave in and sinned). He’s walked in your shoes.

              So, we can pray and know that He gets it. He understands. We see His love and mercy in the sacrifice He made for us. So, we pray knowing that He loves us and wants to forgive us. Therefore, we can go with confidence before God’s throne of grace, confess our sins, be forgiven, and receive help in our time of need.

              That’s a big deal!!

               

              How Do We Prepare?
              We prepare by humbling ourselves, examining our lives, and being repentant. We also prepare by hearing and reminding ourselves of Christ’s promises, of His grace and forgiveness. We trust His Word. We trust His sacrifice. We trust His love.

              Dear Jesus,

              You are my High Priest. Thank You for Your sacrifice. I confess that I have sinned…(confess your sins)…Please forgive me. Wash me clean with Your blood and help me as I face temptation this day and every day.

              Amen.

              Welcome

              Opening Song – Come Thou Long Expected Jesus

              Come thou long-expected Jesus, born to set thy people free
              From our fears and sins release us; let us find our rest in thee.
              Israel’s strength and consolation, hope of all the earth thou art,
              Dear desire of ev’ry nation, joy of every longing heart.

              Joy to those who long to see thee, dayspring from on high appear;
              Come, thou promised Rod of Jesse, of Thy birth we long to hear!
              O’er the hills the angel’s singing news, glad tidings of a birth
              “Go to him, your praises bringing;
              Christ the Lord has come to Earth.”

              Come to earth to taste our sadness,
              He whose glories knew no end;
              by His life He brings us gladness, our Redeemer, Shepherd, Friend.
              Leaving riches without number, born within a cattle stall;
              This the everlasting wonder, Christ was born the Lord of all!

              Born thy people to deliver, born a child and yet a king
              born to reign in us forever, now thy gracious kingdom bring.
              By thine own eternal spirit; rule in all our hearts alone
              By thine all-sufficient merit, Raise us to thy glorious throne

              Invocation

              Confession and Forgiveness:

              P: Come into the presence of the Lord our God.

              C: Have mercy, O Lord. If you, Lord, kept a record of sins, Lord, who could stand; but if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

              (a time of silence to reflect and personally confess our sins)

              P: I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the LORD.” And you forgave the guilt of my sin. Let us confess our sin before the Lord. Let us confess together.

              C: Heavenly Father, we confess that we are sinners.  We have sinned against you and our neighbors. We have not loved you with our whole heart and we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We justly deserve Your punishment.  For the sake of Your Son, Jesus Christ, have mercy on us.  Forgive us, renew us, and lead us, so that we may delight in Your will and walk in Your ways to the glory of Your holy name.  Amen.

              P: The Lord is gracious and merciful. He promises to forgive our sins. Therefore, upon this, your confession, as a called and ordained servant of the Lord, in the stead and by the command of my Lord, Jesus Christ, I forgive you all your sins in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

              C: Amen.

              Song of Praise and Thanksgiving – Sing To The King

              Sing to the King Who is coming to reign
              Glory to Jesus, the Lamb that was slain
              Life and salvation His empire shall bring
              And joy to the nations when Jesus is King

              Chorus:
              Come, let us sing a song,
              A song declaring that we belong to Jesus
              He’s all we need
              Lift up a heart of praise.
              Sing now with voices raised to Jesus
              Sing to the King

              For His returning we watch and we pray
              We will be ready the dawn of that day
              We’ll join in singing with all the redeemed
              ‘Cause Satan is vanquished and Jesus is King

              Chorus 2x

              Old Testament Reading – Jeremiah 23:1–6

              “Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture!” declares the Lord. Therefore, thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, concerning the shepherds who care for my people: “You have scattered my flock and have driven them away, and you have not attended to them. Behold, I will attend to you for your evil deeds, declares the Lord. Then I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all the countries where I have driven them, and I will bring them back to their fold, and they shall be fruitful and multiply. I will set shepherds over them who will care for them, and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall any be missing, declares the Lord.

              “Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will raise up for David a righteous Branch, and he shall reign as king and deal wisely, and shall execute justice and righteousness in the land. In his days Judah will be saved, and Israel will dwell securely. And this is the name by which he will be called: ‘The Lord is our righteousness.’

              Reader: This is the Word of the Lord.
              C: Thanks be to God.

              Epistle Reading – Romans 1:1–6

              Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God, which he promised beforehand through his prophets in the holy Scriptures, concerning his Son, who was descended from David according to the flesh and was declared to be the Son of God in power according to the Spirit of holiness by his resurrection from the dead, Jesus Christ our Lord, through whom we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith for the sake of his name among all the nations, including you who are called to belong to Jesus Christ,

              Reader: This is the Word of the Lord.
              C: Thanks be to God.

              Children’s Message

              Sermon Hymn – The Advent of Our King

              The advent of our King, our prayers must now employ;
              And we must hymns of welcome sing in strains of holy joy.

              The everlasting Son, incarnate deigns to be;
              Himself a servant’s form put on to set His servants free.

              O Zion’s Daughter rise to meet your lowly King;
              Nor let your faithless heart despise the peace He comes to bring.

              As Judge, on clouds of light, He soon will come again
              And His true members all unite with Him in heav’n to reign.

              Before the dawning day let sin’s dark deeds be gone,
              The sinful self be put away the new self now put on.

              All glory to the Son, who comes to set us free;
              With Father, Spirit, ever One, through all eternity. 

              Sermon – “Who Is Jesus? Jesus Is the Son of David.”

              Matthew 1:1–17

              The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham.

              Abraham was the father of Isaac, and Isaac the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers, and Judah the father of Perez and Zerah by Tamar, and Perez the father of Hezron, and Hezron the father of Ram, and Ram the father of Amminadab, and Amminadab the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon the father of Salmon, and Salmon the father of Boaz by Rahab, and Boaz the father of Obed by Ruth, and Obed the father of Jesse, and Jesse the father of David the king.

              And David was the father of Solomon by the wife of Uriah, and Solomon the father of Rehoboam, and Rehoboam the father of Abijah, and Abijah the father of Asaph, and Asaph the father of Jehoshaphat, and Jehoshaphat the father of Joram, and Joram the father of Uzziah, and Uzziah the father of Jotham, and Jotham the father of Ahaz, and Ahaz the father of Hezekiah, and Hezekiah the father of Manasseh, and Manasseh the father of Amos, and Amos the father of Josiah, and Josiah the father of Jechoniah and his brothers, at the time of the deportation to Babylon.

              And after the deportation to Babylon: Jechoniah was the father of Shealtiel, and Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel, and Zerubbabel the father of Abiud, and Abiud the father of Eliakim, and Eliakim the father of Azor, and Azor the father of Zadok, and Zadok the father of Achim, and Achim the father of Eliud, and Eliud the father of Eleazar, and Eleazar the father of Matthan, and Matthan the father of Jacob, and Jacob the father of Joseph the husband of Mary, of whom Jesus was born, who is called Christ.

              So, all the generations from Abraham to David were fourteen generations, and from David to the deportation to Babylon fourteen generations, and from the deportation to Babylon to the Christ fourteen generations.

              P: This is the Gospel of the Lord.
              C: Praise be to You, o Christ.

              Prayers: Text in prayer requests to (813) 602-1104

              Apostles’ Creed

              I believe in God, the Father almighty,
              maker of heaven and earth,

              And in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
              who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
              born of the Virgin Mary,
              suffered under Pontius Pilate,
              was crucified, died and was buried.
              He descended into hell.
              The third day he rose again from the dead.
              He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God
              the Father almighty.
              From there he will come to judge the living and the dead.

              I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Christian Church,
              the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins,
              the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

              The Lord’s Prayer

              Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.  Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.  For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever.  Amen

              Closing Song – He Shall Reign Forevermore

              In the bleak mid-winter, all creation groans
              For a world in darkness, frozen like a stone
              Light is breaking, in a stable for a throne

              Chorus:
              And He shall reign forevermore, forevermore
              And He shall reign forevermore, forevermore
              Unto us a child is born, The King of kings and Lord of lords
              And He shall reign forevermore, forevermore

              If I were a wise man, I would travel far
              And if I were a shepherd, I would do my part
              But poor as I am, I will give to Him my heart

              Chorus

              Here within a manger lies the One who made the starry skies
              This baby born for sacrifice, Christ, the Messiah
              Into our hopes, into our fears, The Savior of the world appears
              The promise of eternal years, Christ, the Messiah

              Chorus 2:
              He shall reign forevermore, forevermore
              He shall reign forevermore, forevermore
              He shall reign forevermore, forevermore
              And He shall reign forevermore, forevermore
              Unto us a child is born, The King of kings and Lord of lords
              And He shall reign forevermore, forevermore

              Be Prepared…for our Prophet

                Be Prepared...for our prophet

                “Fear seized them all, and they glorified God, saying, “A great prophet has arisen among us!” and “God has visited his people!” And this report about him spread through the whole of Judea and all the surrounding country.” – Luke 7:16-17

                Advent is a time of preparation. We prepare for the coming of Jesus, God made flesh, who dwelt among us. He is the promised Messiah who came as our prophet, priest, and king.

                In the passage above from Luke, Jesus had just raised a widow’s son to life. The people who saw what He had done were amazed and concluded that Jesus must be a prophet since Jesus was performing miracles.

                Miracles, however, were not the primary purpose of a prophet. A prophet is first and foremost a messenger of God. A prophet is someone who delivers God’s Word to the people.

                Jesus is the greatest prophet.
                Jesus spoke God’s Word to the people. It is not just this crowd that noticed, but Jesus, Himself, said,

                “For I did not speak on my own, but the Father who sent me commanded me to say all that I have spoken.” – John 12:49

                When we read Jesus’ words, we know we are getting the truth. We know we are receiving the Word of God. All Jesus’ promises are true.

                • When He says He will never leave us nor forsake us, He won’t.
                • When He says that He has overcome the world, He has.
                • When He says He has come to give us an abundant life, He will give us life and an abundant one at that.
                • When He says He is going to prepare a place for us, He has.

                All of Jesus’ promises are true and He both has the will and the authority to fulfill His promises. So, we can trust Him and find rest in Him, for His burden is light (another promise).

                Dear Jesus,

                You are our prophet. Everything You say is true. Help me to listen to Your Word and be changed by it. Help me to put aside my own beliefs and sinful desires to pursue You. Most of all, help me to put my faith in You and trust Your wonderful promises.

                Amen

                  Today’s Devotional Message from Pastor Kurt:

                  Let’s conclude today’s devotion with a time of prayer.

                  Heavenly Father,

                  Thank You! Help me to Thank You every day of my life, many times a day. Help this habit of gratitude to be so ingrained in me that I am able to “give thanks in all circumstances.” My my heart and my life be transformed by gratitude given to me by Your transforming Spirit.

                  (Take this time to pray whatever is on your heart.)

                  The Lord’s Prayer:

                  Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name,
                  Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
                  Give us this day our daily bread;
                  And                   forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us;
                  And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. 
                  For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever.

                  Amen

                    Let’s conclude today’s devotion with a time of prayer.

                    Heavenly Father,

                    Thank You! Thank You for the eternal life that You have given me through faith in Jesus Christ. May I thank You every day of my eternal existence not only for that life but for all the many blessings You have given me.

                    Today, on this day we set aside for thanksgiving, I especially thank you for the following blessings…

                    (Take this time to thank God for specific things in your life.)

                    I also thank You for the challenges and difficulties in my life through which You bring me closer to You, strengthen my faith, and give me hope and endurance.

                    (Take this time to thank God for specific struggles, but also to ask for His help and peace in those struggles.)

                    (Take this time to pray whatever is on your heart.)

                    The Lord’s Prayer:

                    Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name,
                    Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
                    Give us this day our daily bread;
                    And                     forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us;
                    And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. 
                    For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever.

                    Amen
