3 * Nicene-Constantinopolitan Creed 381 I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible. And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all worlds; God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God; begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father, by whom all things were made. Who, for us and our salvation, came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary, and was made man; and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate; He suffered death and was buried; and the third day He rose again, according to the Scriptures; and ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of the Father; and He shall come again, with glory, to judge the living and the dead; whose kingdom shall have no end. And I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and Giver of life; who proceedeth from the Father and the Son; who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified; who spake by the prophets. And I believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. I acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins; and I look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

5 E V E N I N G W O R S H I P 6 : 1 5 P M Soli Deo Gloria Prelude Christmas Carol Singing- Congregation to request carols 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. 6 : 3 0 P M Welcome Call to Worship Invocation * Hymn 203: Hark! the Herald Angels Sing Mendelssohn * Hymn 229: Gentle Mary Laid Her Child Tempus Adest Floridum * Prayer of Confession (from The Book of Common Prayer) Almighty God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Maker of all things, Judge of all men; we acknowledge and bewail our manifold sins and wickedness which we have from time to time committed by thought, word, and deed against Your divine majesty, provoking most justly Your wrath and indignation against us. We do earnestly repent and are heartily sorry for our misdoings; they are grievous unto us. Have mercy upon us, most merciful Father for Your Son our Lord Jesus Christ s sake; forgive us all that is past, and grant that hereafter we may serve and please You in newness of life, to the honor and glory of Your holy name, through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen. * Doxology (Trinity Hymnal 733) Lasst Uns Erfreuen Praise God from Whom all blessings flow; Praise Him, all creatures here below: alleluia, alleluia!

6 Offertory: Climb to the Top of the Highest Mountain Carolyn Jennings Climb to the top of the highest mountain, joyous tidings proclaim to the world, lift up your voice, shout the good news: Behold, your Lord comes to you. He will feed His flock like a shepherd, He will carry the lambs in His arms, He will ever keep them safe from harm. Behold, your Lord comes to you. He who made the stars in the heaven, He who fashioned the earth and the sea, from time eternal He was God, the Alpha and Omega, He. Behold, your Lord! He will come in power and glory, He will rule with mercy and truth, hope of the nations, Light of the world, Light of all. He will love the little children, He will hold them in His arms. Love Him and trust Him as a child, behold, your Lord, comes to you. Tenth Church Choir Robert Hobgood, organ Sermon Series: That You May Believe Beyond Doubt Prayer * Hymn 201: O Little Town of Bethlehem St. Louis * Benediction Postlude P R O J E C T O F T H E M O N T H : T E N T H O U T R E A C H G I V I N G As we close out the year and thank God for all His blessings, we want to be sure to meet our commitments to our outreach partners, both in metro Philadelphia and around the world. Our partners are doing amazing things in the power of the Spirit through your prayers. They are involved in church planting, Bible translation, evangelism to unreached people, theological education, medical ministry, and media. Cash or checks made payable to Tenth Presbyterian Church, with December Project of the Month on the memo line, may be placed in offering plates or one of the oak boxes at the Sanctuary entrances. T H E S H O R T E R C AT E C H I S M, circa 1647 One of the documents that explains what our church and denomination believe is known as the Shorter Catechism. We are including in the bulletin a series of questions and answers dealing with some of the essential doctrines of our faith. Question 85: What doth God require of us that we may escape his wrath and curse due to us for sin? Answer: To escape the wrath and curse of God due to us for sin, God requireth of us faith in Jesus Christ, repentance unto life, with the diligent use of all the outward means whereby Christ communicateth to us the benefits of redemption. * Congregation standing

7 TENTH PRESS DECEMBER 4, 2016 Northeast Community Church by Maranatha Chung, Chinese Minister at Northeast Community Church BANG! BANG! BANG! The shots came quickly and loudly, but I felt no fear nor did I know what had happened. It happened during a family restaurant visit at 3 PM in West Oak Lane. The husband casually explained that it was a drive-by shooting, reviewing footage from the security camera. I could tell he was experienced. I had never heard gunshots that loud when I lived in Olney, but I knew the blue-collar Chinese immigrants in Northeast Philadelphia have endured worse. In the past 12 months, they have experienced over 40 incidents of assaults and burglary. Many were restaurant owners. Many ended up buying guns to protect themselves because they didn t think the police could protect them. They feel that way because while the 911 dispatchers look for a translator, immigrant callers often hang up not knowing what s happening on the other end of the line. In late October, I called a community meeting to bring immigrants and police from the Second District together. One hundred and forty came. They came out of a concern for the public safety, but I don t believe a meeting will give them everything they need. They not only need to understand U.S. culture, society, politics, but they also need Jesus. With the life they ve chosen to live, it is not easy for them to learn about Jesus. They work while others rest. Regular Sunday church attendance is a challenge. However, when they do have time, they can learn. When I saw that I was not able to disciple many of these Chinese through Sunday worship, I started some Bible studies during the week. They were drawn to the teachings contained in the Serge curriculum, Gospelcentered Life, where the Reformed doctrines of grace are applied to real life issues. The Chinese are delighted to learn about justification, adoption, and sanctification. In order to frame their worldview and their ethics, I also used passages from Scripture Union s E100 Bible Reading Plan (built around 100 carefully selected short Bible passages 50 from the Old Testament and 50 from the New Testament). While we studied the story of Noah, I was amazed that they spotted the repeating numbers in the story even before I told them about the chiastic structure in the Flood Narrative. In these studies, their questions show that they are paying serious attention to the Word of God. Please pray that the Chinese immigrants will experience justice in the community and that they will begin to understand U.S. culture. But more importantly, please pray that they will know and follow Jesus. Maranatha Chung (sixth from left in this photo during a baptismal service at NECC in April 2016) is the Chinese minister at Northeast Community Church, located at 3300 Tyson Avenue, Philadelphia, PA.
