Service of the Lord’s Day with Rev. Ed Soto Sermon Title: “Genealogy, Not Genetics” Scripture: Matthew1: selected verses; Luke 3: selected verses. Choral Anthem: “Prophets Knew” Words by J. Paul Williams, Music by Lloyd Larson O come, O come, Emmanuel, and ransom captive Israel! Prophets knew long ago that Christ would come to earth. Led by Isaiah they foretold His birth. God in human frame, Emmanuel His name. Prophets knew long ago, long ago…this child would be the King! Glory to God! Let heaven and nature sing. God in human frame, Messiah was His name…Micah prophesied that Christ would be born in Royal David’s town; Redeemer of Israel, promised to all, a King without a crown! Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel! Prophets knew long ago that in a manger stall angels and shepherds would find the Lord of all! God in human frame, Jesus was His name…
Hanging of the Greens Service Offertory: “Waiting for a King” Words by J. Paul Williams, Music by Joseph M . Martin Waiting for a King; when will he come? Waiting for a King; God’s holy One. Will the world be ready? Is His advent near? Waiting for a King; when will he appear?...God’s only Son. Will the world receive Him? Will He stand alone? Waiting for a King to come and take His throne in the fullness of time the Prince of Peace will come, the promised Messiah, God’s chosen One. For those who are righteous, hope will be restored. Their eyes will be opened,… they will know the Lord. Waiting for a King, ruling in might…to shine in our night. Will the world be ready when He comes to stay?... will this be the day?
