The First Noel

 

The first Noel the angels did say 
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night that was so deep

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel

They looked up and saw a star 
Shining in the east, beyond them far
And to the earth it gave great light
And so it continued both day and night

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel

Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord
That hath made heaven and earth of naught
And with His blood mankind hath bought

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel

Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel

Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay

On a cold winter's night that was so deep

천사들이 전하여준 주 나신 소식 들었네


Chorus
Noel Noel Noel Noel
Born is the King of Israel
노엘 노엘 노엘 노엘

Verse 2
They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the east beyond them far
And to the earth it gave great light
And so it continued both day and night
저 동방에 별 하나가 이상한 빛을 비추어 
이 땅 위에 큰 영광이 나타날 징조 보였네

Verse 3
And by the light of that same star
Three wise men came from country far
To seek for a king was their intent
And to follow the star wherever it went

Verse 4
This star drew nigh to the northwest
O'er Bethlehem it took its rest
And there it did both stop and stay
Right over the place where Jesus lay
그 한별이 베들레헴 향하여 바로 가더니 
아기 예수 누우신 집 그 위에 오자 멈췄네

Verse 5
Then entered in those wise men three
Full rev'rently upon the knee
And offered there in His presence
Their gold and myrrh and frankincense
저 동방의 박사들이 새 아기 보고 절하고 
그 보배합 다 열어서 세가지 예물 드렸네

Sing praises to our heavenly Lord
That hath made heaven and earth of naught

Dec 15, 2024 "The Heart of Waiting for Christmas" (Matthew 2:1-6)

 
The Heart of Waiting for Christmas  
Matthew 2:1-6 
 
Many people knew about Jesus but they responded differently. 
 
Matthew 2:1-2 ESV 
[1] Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, wise men from the east came to Jerusalem, [2] saying, “Where is he who has been born king of the Jews? For we saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him.”  
 
King Herod wanted to keep his authority and did not like the news that there was another king of Jews. Sometimes we are like King Herod. We do not want Jesus to be our King and we do not want to submit to his authority 
 
The chief priests and the teachers of the law were aware of Jesus birth and identified where Jesus would be born. However, instead of going out to seek Jesus, they remained where they were with their knowledge. They were more interested in remaining in their place and their comfortable positions. Although they knew of the messiah and his coming, they were indifferent to this great news. 
 
Jesus came to the earth because He loved you. 
 
The Magi were also aware of Jesus' and followed a star to find Him. When they did find him, they worshipped him and gave gifts. 
 
The Magi demonstrated their understanding Jesus' kingship, humanity and divinity. They acknowledged his divinity and sacrificial love.  
 
We can choose to be like King Herod and cling onto our power and refuse to follow Jesus. We could also choose to be like the chief priests and scribes who know the scriptures but do nothing through indifference. Or we can be like the Magi and humble ourselves and seek out Jesus

Dec 8,2024 "The Last Day" (Revelation 7:9-17)

 

The Last Day 
Revelation talks about the last day, and we see that we will be victorious. 
 
Revelation 7:9 ESV 
[9] After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands,  
 
We read here that there's a number who is so large that it cannot be counted. These people are dressed in white and holding palm branches symbolizing righteousness.  
 
We cannot escape suffering and the tribulation. As Christians, we suffer for Christ as Christ suffered for us. However, there is a reward for those who endure. 
 
Revelation 7:16-17 ESV 
[16]  They shall hunger no more, neither thirst anymore; the sun shall not strike them, nor any scorching heat. [17] For the Lamb in the midst of the throne will be their shepherd, and he will guide them to springs of living water, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.” 
 
Revelation was written as a book of comfort for the early Christians. They were being persecuted and they needed encouragement to give them the strength to persevere. 
 
We know that the victory is already in Jesus. Jesus has won the battle and we are waiting for his return.  
 
Salvation is promised to all who would believe in Jesus. Salvation is not reserved for certain groups of people or certain nations. Salvation was not just extended to the Israelites, but to all nations. 
 
One key distinction between Christians and others is the emphasis of praising God. Those who praise God are already living in heaven. Worship is responding to God and his Grace 
 
How do we respond to God's grace of salvation through Jesus.? We are reminded that the salvation that God offers is not just for us but also for others

Majestic Sweetness Sits Enthroned

 

Majestic Sweetness Sits Enthroned

Verse 1
Majestic sweetness sits enthroned
Upon the Savior's brow
His head with radiant glories crowned
His lips with grace o'erflow
His lips with grace o'erflow

Verse 2
No mortal can with Him compare
Among the sons of men
Fairer is He than all the fair
Who fill the heav'nly train
Who fill the heav'nly train

Verse 3
He saw me plunged in deep distress
He flew to my relief
For me He bore the shameful cross
And carried all my grief
And carried all my grief

Verse 4
To Him I owe my life and breath
And all the joys I have
He makes me triumph over death
And saves me from the grave
And saves me from the grave

Verse 5
Since from His bounty I receive
Such proofs of love divine
Had I a thousand hearts to give
Lord they should all be Thine
Lord they should all be Thine

1 Majestic sweetness sits enthroned
 Upon the Saviour's brow;
 His head with radiant glories crowned,
 His lips with grace o'erflow.

2 No mortal can with him compare,
 Among the sons of men;
 Fairer is he than all the fair
 That fill the heavenly train.

3 He saw me plunged in deep distress,
 He flew to my relief;
 For me He bore the shameful cross,
 And carried all my grief.

4 To Him I owe my life and breath,
 And all the joys I have;
 He makes me triumph over death,
 He saves me from the grave.

5 To heaven, the place of His abode,
 He brings my weary feet;
 Shows me the glories of my God,
 And makes my joys complete.

5A To heaven, the place of His abode,
 He brings my weary feet;
 Shows me the glories of my God,
 And makes my joy complete.

6 Since from His bounty I receive
 Such proofs of love divine,
 Had I a thousand hearts to give,
 Lord, they should all be Thine!

Dec 1, 2024 "Lukewarm Faith: A Call for Transformation"(Revelation 3:14-22)


 In Revelation, we know who this letter was written to and by Whom. Jesus speaks to seven different churches and gives messages. One of the messages is to the Ladeceian Church. Jesus criticizes their lukewarm approach to Jesus. 
 
Lukewarm means having no desire for God. They only read what they want and hear what they want. They are not compelled to repent or seek God more. Their efforts are half hearted. 
 
One of the problems with the church in Laodecia is that they think they are rich and self-sufficient. They feel secure in their prosperity and comfortable life. 
 
God is not gennie that just grants our wishes. Why do you worship? 
 
Revelation 3:18 ESV 
[18] I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, so that you may be rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself and the shame of your nakedness may not be seen, and salve to anoint your eyes, so that you may see.  
 
The Ladeceians were rich from trade. They had large reserves of gold, luxurious clothes and eye salve. Jesus shows them they need to obtain superior items from him because they are poor, blind and naked. 
 
At first it seems that God is judging them, but really God is warning them and asking them to repent. 
 
Revelation 3:16 ESV 
[16] So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth.  
 
We see that God is waiting for us. 
 
Revelation 3:20 ESV 
[20] Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with me.  
 
Where can we find God? We find him in our own heart. We need to return back to God. We need to be passionate about our worship and dedication 
 
Yes, there is a warning, but more importantly, this is an invitation for us to return to God.

Nov 24, 2024 "Reason to Give Thanks" (Psalm 136:1-16)

 

Reason to Give Thanks  
Psalm138:1-16 
 
Christians give thanks to God, and they do not need any special reason or occasion to do this. The author of Psalm 138 gives thanks because God is good. Christians should give thanks because God is who God is. 
 
Psalm 136:1 ESV 
[1] Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever. 
 
God himself is the reason for our gratitude. God does great things and created all things. 
 
Psalm 136:4-9 ESV 
[4] to him who alone does great wonders, for his steadfast love endures forever; [5] to him who by understanding made the heavens, for his steadfast love endures forever; [6] to him who spread out the earth above the waters, for his steadfast love endures forever; [7] to him who made the great lights, for his steadfast love endures forever; [8] the sun to rule over the day, for his steadfast love endures forever; [9] the moon and stars to rule over the night, for his steadfast love endures forever; 
 
Meeting friends, going to work, waking up, just breathing are all miracles. The everyday acts which seem so common to us are gifts. There is no guarantee that we will wake up or be able to go to work. They are gifts that we should be grateful for. 
 
Life has sadness, pain, and loss. It is natural for our lives will have pain. We will face obstacles, and these hardships may dwarf everything else. 
 
Romans 8:28 ESV 
[28] And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose.  
 
We need to walk the narrow path. The end at the path will get worth and pains or sorrows we may face on the path. We are thankful for being on the path. 
 
His love endures forever! We see this in verses 10 to 16. 
 
Psalm 136:10-16 ESV 
[10] to him who struck down the firstborn of Egypt, for his steadfast love endures forever; [11] and brought Israel out from among them, for his steadfast love endures forever; 
[12] with a strong hand and an outstretched arm, for his steadfast love endures forever; [13] to him who divided the Red Sea in two, for his steadfast love endures forever; 
[14]  and made Israel pass through the midst of it, for his steadfast love endures forever; [15] but overthrew Pharaoh and his host in the Red Sea, for his steadfast love endures forever; 
[16] to him who led his people through the wilderness, for his steadfast love endures forever. 
 
The Israelites only gave thanks to God after miracles and soon after these miracles, they forgot about God. 
 
Whether our journey is crafted with trials or triumphs we can praise God for all we experience. The narrow path leads to God's glory. 




Thankful

Thankful
CCLI Song # 7227432
Shawna Edwards

Verse 1
One for each blessed day
Two every breath I take
Three for my family
Four all they mean to me
Five just to be alive
Six for the earth and sky
And seven for heaven

Chorus
For every good thing that I have
Comes from God
Every day every hour
There are blessings He sends
Without number or end
If I counted a hundred
Or a thousand I’m sure

There would still be more 
to be thankful for

Verse 2
Eight for the chance to grow
Nine heart and hands and soul
Ten for the eyes to see
All God has given me

I could go on and on
Counting the whole day long
I know He is with me

Chorus
For every good thing that I have
Comes from God
Every day every hour
There are blessings He sends
Without number or end
If I counted a hundred
Or a thousand I’m sure

There would still be more
There would still be more
And more to be thankful for

George Bennard

Verse 1
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross
The emblem of suff'ring and shame
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
For a world of lost sinners was slain

Chorus
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross
Till my trophies at last I lay down
I will cling to the old rugged cross
And exchange it some day for a crown

Verse 2
O the old rugged cross so despised by the world
Has a wondrous attraction for me
For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above
To bear it to dark Calvary

Chorus
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross
Till my trophies at last I lay down
I will cling to the old rugged cross
And exchange it some day for a crown

Verse 3
In the old rugged cross stained with blood so divine
A wondrous beauty I see
For 'twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died
To pardon and sanctify me

Chorus
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross
Till my trophies at last I lay down
I will cling to the old rugged cross
And exchange it some day for a crown

Verse 4
To the old rugged cross I will ever be true
Its shame and reproach gladly bear
Then He'll call me some day to my home far away
Where His glory forever I'll share

Chorus
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross
Till my trophies at last I lay down
I will cling to the old rugged cross
And exchange it some day for a crown
