What is God stirring in your heart this Holiday Season for
your congregation? Maybe you will highlight a few of those Christmas Hymns that
are so near to your church’s heart. Maybe you will have a celebration service incorporating
the worship of your church through the arts. Maybe you will have a Christmas
choir, a powerful retelling of the meaning of Christmas, a group of carolers
singing through your neighborhoods, or maybe you will share a meal with your
church - all in honor of the birth of our King. This King came as a lowly
newborn baby in a humble manger in a little town long ago. What an incredible
paradox! The King of Kings and Lord of Lords entered this earth humbly. I can’t
help but think of Matthew 23:12.
This Christmas Season let us ‘make much’ of our King and
welcome Him with great celebration and joyful hearts! Let us exalt Him through
our singing and join with the Angels as the ‘official messengers of His good news’ or the "herald" worshipers:
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 the angelic host proclaim: "Christ is born in Bethlehem."
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 the angelic host proclaim: "Christ is born in Bethlehem."
Hark! The herald angels sing, "Glory to the newborn King!"
