The LORD’s my saviour and my light – who will make me dismayed?

SERMON  |  “Lights in a Dark World.”  |  Rev Paul Gibson
PRAYER

HYMN 
1 The King of love my shepherd is, 
whose goodness faileth never. 
I nothing lack if I am his, 
and he is mine forever.

2 Where streams of living water flow, 
my ransomed soul he leadeth; 
and where the verdant pastures grow, 
with food celestial feedeth.

3 Perverse and foolish, oft I strayed, 
but yet in love he sought me; 
and on his shoulder gently laid, 
and home, rejoicing, brought me.

4 In death's dark vale I fear no ill, 
with thee, dear Lord, beside me; 
thy rod and staff my comfort still, 
thy cross before to guide me.

5 Thou spreadst a table in my sight; 
thy unction grace bestoweth; 
and oh, what transport of delight 
from thy pure chalice floweth!

6 And so through all the length of days, 
thy goodness faileth never; 
Good Shepherd, may I sing thy praise 
within thy house forever.

BENEDICTION

​Hark The Herald Angels Sing

​1. Hark! The herald angels sing,
 “Glory to the newborn King;
 Peace on earth, and mercy mild,
 God and sinners reconciled!”
 Joyful, all ye nations rise,
 Join the triumph of the skies;
 With th’angelic host proclaim,
 “Christ is born in Bethlehem!”
  Hark! The herald angels sing,
  “Glory to the newborn King!”

 2. Christ, by highest Heav’n adored;
 Christ the everlasting Lord;
 Late in time, behold Him come,
 Offspring of a virgin’s womb.
 Veiled in flesh the Godhead see;
 Hail th’incarnate Deity,
 Pleased as man with man to dwell,
 Jesus our Immanuel.
 Hark! The herald angels sing,
 “Glory to the newborn King!”

 3. Hail the heav’n-born Prince of Peace!
 Hail the Son of Righteousness!
 Light and life to all He brings,
 Ris’n with healing in His wings.
 Mild He lays His glory by,
 Born that man no more may die.
 Born to raise the sons of earth,
 Born to give them second birth.
 Hark! The herald angels sing,
 “Glory to the newborn King!”

Who is Jesus? (Part 2)

CALL TO WORSHIP

PSALM 138 
|  Sing Psalms 
I’ll praise you, LORD, with all my heart; Before the gods I’ll sing your praise. 

CONFESSION OF SIN
“Our Father, we confess that we are often prone to love our own wisdom better than the perfect wisdom that comes from You alone. In our weakness, we forget to think of You, to ask for Your help, and to remember how foolish we are in and of ourselves. In our pride and rebellion, we spurn Your wise commandments and are not attentive to Your instruction. Forgive us, we pray, and cleanse us from sin. Pour out Your Spirit upon us, that we might delight in Your holy laws, walk in Your ways and bring glory to Your name. For we ask these things in the wonderful and righteous name of our Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”

ASSURANCE OF PARDON  |  Psalm 23

SCRIPTURE READING  |  Matthew 1:18-25

CONFESSION OF SIN
“Our Father in heaven, we thank you that in Christ Your Son, You have brought us from death to life and from darkness to light. Yet we confess that in this past week we have not always walked by the Spirit or lived in the light; instead we have sinned in thought, word and deed. Have mercy on us, we pray, and forgive all of our sins. Cleanse us afresh by the blood of our Saviour and fill us with Your Spirit, that we might live distinct and holy lives worthy of the gospel. For we ask it in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and for His sake, Amen.”

Unless the LORD builds up the house, its builders toil in vain; Unless he keeps the city safe, they vainly watch maintain.

BENEDICTION

    “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor, and do all your work, but the seventh day is a sabbath to the LORD your God…For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day. Therefore the LORD blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.”
    Exodus 20:8-11 ​
