We are including in the bulletin a series of questions and answers dealing with some of the essential doctrines of our faith. Question 87: What is repentance unto life? Answer: Repentance unto life is a saving grace, whereby a sinner, out of a true sense of his sin, and apprehension of the mercy of God in Christ, doth, with grief and hatred of his sin, turn from it unto God, with full purpose of, and endeavor after, new obedience.

4 E V E N I N G W O R S H I P 6 : 1 5 P M Soli Deo Gloria Prelude Lo, How a Rose E er Blooming arr. Mark Hayes Lo, how a Rose e er blooming, from tender stem hath sprung! Of Jesse s lineage coming, as men of old have sung. It came, a flow ret bright, Amid the cold of winter, when half-spent was the night. Isaiah twas foretold it, the Rose I have in mind: With Mary we behold it, the virgin mother kind. To show God s love aright she bore to men a Savior; when half-spent was the night. This Flower, Whose fragrance tender with sweetness fills the air, Dispels with glorious splendor the darkness everywhere. True man, yet very God, from sin and death; He saves us and lightens every load O Magnify the Lord O magnify the Lord. My soul magnifies the Lord, And my spirit rejoices in God my Savior. For He has done great things for his servant Israel. Ruth Elaine Schram Sylphinia s Aria from Only a Miracle Seymour Barab The shepherds came from all around to kneel upon this hallowed ground. Unearthly voices from above were singing words of peace and love. It was a miracle, and just e er morn the Child was born. An evening star shone clear and bright, it slowly sailed the sea of night, And thus the three wise men were led; the star had stopped right over head. It was a miracle, their journey done, they beheld God s Son. They worshipped Him, this newborn child, Who gazed at them and gently smiled. That humble manger now is blessed; for there the Child and Mary rest. One day He ll grow to be a King. His praises all the world will sing. It is a miracle, for joy will reign in the world again. Gesù Bambino When blossoms flowered mid the snows upon a winter night Was born the Child the Christmas Rose; the King of Love and Light. The angels sang, the shepherds sang. The grateful earth rejoiced. And at His blessed birth the stars, their exultation voiced. O come let us adore Him, Christ the Lord. Again the heart with rapture glows to greet the holy night That gave the world its Christmas Rose, its King of Love and Light. Let ev ry voice acclaim His name, the grateful chorus swell. From paradise to earth He came, that we with Him might dwell arr. Mark Hayes Sharon Neff, soprano Soli Deo Gloria is a motto that has been used since the time of the Protestant Reformation. It is the culminating phrase of five Solas and means Glory to God Alone. Soli Deo Gloria affords musicians (singers and instrumentalists alike) the opportunity to give back to God from the gifts He has given them. At the same time, the music is intended to encourage the congregation and to be a public testimony of our desire at Tenth Church to honor Him with our musical offerings. * Congregation standing

5 6 : 3 0 P M Welcome Call to Worship Invocation * Hymn 200: It Came Upon a Midnight Clear Carol (Catechism Club & Tenth Children s Choir may be dismissed for their classes) Prayer of Preparation God s Word Read Micah 5:2 5a (page 779) Sermon: A Well-Known Secret Prayer * Congregation standing Rev.

Today Christ is born: Noel Hodie Salvator apparuit: Alleluia. Today the Savior has appeared: Alleluia! Hodie in terra canunt Angeli, laetantur Archangeli: Noe. Today the Angels sing, the Archangels rejoice: Noel. Hodie exsultant justi, dicentes: Gloria in excelsis Deo. Alleluia! Noe! Today the righteous rejoice, saying: Glory to God in the highest. Alleluia! Noel! Tenth Church Choir Question of Preparation (from the Heidelberg Catechism; congregation reads answer in unison) Question 96: What is the Lord s supper? Answer: The Lord s supper is a sacrament, wherein, by giving and receiving bread and wine, according to Christ s appointment, his death is showed forth; and the worthy receivers are, not after a corporal and carnal manner, but by faith, made partakers of his body and blood, with all his benefits, to their spiritual nourishment, and growth in grace. Sacrament of the Lord s Supper (gluten-free bread is in the center cup) Words of invitation Distribution of the bread Break Forth, O Beauteous Heavenly Light Break forth, O beauteous heavenly light, and usher in the morning; O shepherds shrink not with affright, but hear the angel s warning. This Child, now weak in infancy, our confidence and joy shall be; The pow r of Satan breaking, our peace eternal making Break forth, O beauteous heavenly light, to herald our salvation; He stoops to earth the God of might, our hope and expectation. He comes in human flesh to dwell, our God with us, Immanuel; The night of darkness ending, our fallen race befriending Ermuntre Dich

It came, a floweret bright, Amid the cold of winter, when half-spent was the night. This Flower, Whose fragrance tender with sweetness fills the air, Dispels with glorious splendor the darkness everywhere. Enfleshed, yet very God, from sin and death He saves us and lightens every load. Tenth Church Choir Proclamation of the mystery of our faith: Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again!

7 TENTH PRESS DECEMBER 18, 2016 Behold His Glory Lessons and Carols 2016 by Colin Howland, Director of Music and Organist Am I missing something? We have all at one time or another said or thought these words. The situations which trigger this awkward feeling can be varied: you walk into a room where everyone is laughing; you miss the punch line of a joke you are supposed to understand; you get a grade on a paper or test which is far below what you expected; you encounter a usually happy family member or friend whose face is full of tears; you walk into a house for a quiet evening with a friend and the room explodes with the word surprise! Love them or hate them, it is life s surprises which tend to make the highlights reels of our lives. Of course, what lies behind the unexpected is what impacts us the most, leading sometimes to pain and sorrow, other times bringing unanticipated joy. The gospels are full of surprises. Jesus was constantly doing or saying things which left the people around him completely flabbergasted. There was something about Jesus which left people stunned for words, asking questions they couldn t answer or trembling with fear. Jesus amazed people with his understanding of Scripture. Luke tells us that the young boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem speaking with the teachers in the temple and all who heard him were amazed at his understanding and answers (Luke 2:47). His teaching as an adult made an even deeper impression: And they were all amazed, so that they questioned among themselves, saying, What is this? A new teaching with authority! He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him (Mark 1:27). The miracles he performed left people asking who he could be: after healing a demonpossessed man who was blind and mute all the people were amazed, and said, Can this be the Son of David? (Matthew 12:23) Even Pilate was amazed when Jesus refused to answer him (Mark 15:5). The Bible teaches us that it is not the unexpected things Jesus said and did which are the real surprise, but Jesus himself. Perhaps no place in the New Testament more aptly describes who lay behind all this than these words from the beginning of John s gospel: And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. (John 1:14) Twice he uses the word glory to describe the Lord Jesus. Glory is a very rich word in the Scriptures. When used to describe God, the context is often something that can be seen and that points to his otherwise unseen majesty. The book of Exodus repeatedly refers to the glory of the Lord appearing in a cloud. Psalm 19 begins with the words, The heavens declare the glory of God. Glory ultimately points us to the superiority of God over all things. This is delightfully illustrated by the root meaning of the Hebrew word for glory, which has the connotation of weightiness. It is as if God were on one side of an old-fashioned balancing scale and the whole universe is on the other, and someone asks, Which weighs more? The staggering truth of the Incarnation is that in Jesus the disciples beheld the glory of God! The theme of this year s Lessons and Carols service is Behold his glory. The Scripture lessons, homily, and musical selections will proclaim for all to hear the awesome news of who Christ is, why he came, and help us look ahead to his coming again. Several audience carols will offer the opportunity for joyful response! Has Christmas become routine for you? For many, it is simply a season where we attend to our list of traditions, anticipate fun family gatherings, and feast on great food. For others, Christmas time still has a sense of wonder and excitement; we long for the joy that Christmas brings, but where are we looking for it? One of the most outrageous gifts ever requested in Scripture was from Moses. He said, Please show me your glory (Exodus 33:18). Have you ever wanted to see the glory of God? Would it surprise you to find out that glory is exactly what Jesus wants us to see? John 17 records the prayer Jesus made on behalf of his people. He says, Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory that you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world. We can taste now what will be fully revealed later. Don t miss it!
