For Christ, to God’s Glory,and Man’s Joy

December 8, 2019

Welcome to the Sunday worship service at Trinity

Bible Church.

We have the blessed privilege of gathering this

Lord’s day to make much of Christ through the reading, singing, and preaching of

God’s Word together.

Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

– Philippians 2:9-11

Order of Worship

Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

– Philippians 5:5-11

I will give thanks to the LORD with my whole heart; I will recount all of your wonderful deeds. I will be glad and exult in you; I will sing praise to your name, O Most High.

– Psalm 9:1-2

Of the Father’s Love BegottenOf the Father’s love begotten,Ere the worlds began to be,He is Alpha and Omega,He the Source, the Ending He,Of the things that are, that have been,And that future years shall see,Evermore and evermore!

O ye heights of heaven adore Him;Angel hosts, His praises sing;Powers, dominions, bow before Him,And extol our God and King;Let no tongue on earth be silent,Every voice in concert ring,Evermore and evermore!

Across the LandsYou’re the Word of God the Fatherfrom before the world began.Every star and every planethas been fashioned by Your hand.All creation holds togetherby the power of Your voice.Let the skies declare Your glory,let the land and seas rejoice!

(Chorus)You’re the Author of creation,You’re the Lord of every man,and Your cry of love rings outacross the lands.

Yet You left the gaze of angels,came to seek and save the lost,and exchanged the joy of heavenfor the anguish of a cross.With a prayer You fed the hungry,with a word you stilled the sea,Yet how silently You sufferedthat the guilty may go free.(Repeat chorus)

With a shout You rose victorious,wresting victory from the grave,and ascended into heavenleading captives in Your way.Now You stand before the Father,interceding for Your own.From each tribe and tongue and nationYou are leading sinners home.(Repeat chorus)

Come Adore the Humble KingCome adore the humble King,lowly in the manger;Fall before His majesty,Hail the little Savior.Hope what hope no tongue could tell,God has come with us to dwell;His name is Emmanuel,O praise the humble King.

Come adore the humble state,He the song of angels;Join the wise who call His nameand with all creation.Who oh who would condescend,God unknown now calls us friend;Love that none could comprehend,O praise the humble King.

Come adore the King who cameto our world to save us;Born to heal our prideful race,crown us with forgiveness.Fall oh fall before the Onewho in mercy left His throne.Christ the Lord, God’s only Son;His glories now we sing,O praise the humble King.

Come adore, come adore,come adore the King.Bow before, come adorethe Name above all names.

Christ is AllI’ve found a treasure that can’t be taken;Found a well that won’t run dry.O worldly pleasure, be now forsaken;Behold what love, what life is mine.

Could endless striving now make me righteous?Could all my works now grant me hope?Oh, hallelujah! The blood of Jesusmy only plea, my only boast.

(Chorus)Christ is all, Christ is all;And my song will ever be.Christ is all, all in all;And my song will ever be:Christ is all.

And in the trial, when storms are raging;Though tears may fall, my soul will rise.For there’s a peace that is mine unchanging;There is a joy that never dies.(Repeat Chorus)

When life is passing and strength is fading,I’ll see the One that I adore.Let this world vanish, oh give me Jesus;My great desire, my true reward.(Repeat Chorus)

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. … And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us … No one has ever seen God; the only God, who is at the Father’s side, he has made him known.

– John 1:1, 14, 18

Man cannot know God apart from God making Himself known to man. The creation reveals enough to inform man about God, but it does not reveal God Himself to man. Knowing the creation is not the same as knowing the Creator. Creation reveals enough about God to condemn us, rendering the natural man both without God and without excuse (Romans 1:20). Creation, then, only makes God known as “unknown” –even the ancient Greeks testified to this (Acts 17:23). Why is this our natural condition? Sin. Sin is not merely something we commit, it changes us. Sin has separated humanity from God (Isaiah 59:2) and has left us in our own self-afflicting ignorance of God. And the gripping reality is that man is utterly incapable of coming to God on his own; God must come to man.This is Christmas–God coming to man.
