He will be born:
With utmost expectancy
The couple awaits
The cresting moment of their son’s birth
Months of questioning, fears, and frustration
Culminate with unexpected travel
“Go and register – and pay your taxes”
The laborious travel
A ninety mile trek
Must have jarred her
With every step
Oh the mysteries of God
Who can fully discern?
When viewed with sight, His ways seem unpredictable
When viewed with faith, His ways prove providential
Oh the mysteries of God,
Who can fully discern?
Humble and unique – a birth unlike any other
Visited not by parents or relatives but by invited shepherds
A stone carved manger used for a crib
Divinity becomes humanity and places full trust in this mom and dad
Oh the mysteries of God
Who can fully discern?
When viewed with sight, His ways seem unpredictable
When viewed with faith, His ways prove providential
Oh the mysteries of God,
Who can fully discern?
2011 has been a phenomenal year of ministry! Let’s close it out in a stellar way worshiping our Lord as a church family over Christmas weekend!
Service times for the weekend are:
Saturday 4, 5:30, and 7 (three identical family services)
Sunday 10:30 (a stand-alone casual Christmas Day family service)
Invite family and friends to this weekend. It’s one of the highest seeker attended weekends in the year. Just as the wise men sought out Christ, people continue to seek. Be like the star shining in the universe pointing to Jesus (see Philippians 2: 14).
I want to take a moment to thank Tarry Koutz and every choir member, drama person, handbell ringer, sound technician, light operator, table decorator, vacuumer, and everyone else who made “Christmas at the Forum” a great happening.
Looking forward to great encounters with the Lord Saturday and Sunday. See you then - Scott
