Praise the Lord in Song

Praise the Lord in Song
Psalm 148, Colossians 3:12-17, Luke 2:41-52
December 27, 2015

Here's how our sermon works today. Your insert has the words of psalm 148 which Judy read for us in another version. There is a very clear theme in the psalm—praise the Lord. And we are going to praise the Lord in song. But I'm going to mix in the story of Christ's birth with the re-reading of the psalm. So as you follow along, the psalm is printed, I will share some of the Christmas story, make a quick comment and we will sing our praises.

Psalm 80:1-7 Hebrews 10:5-10, Luke 1:39-45(46-55)

Advent is about preparation. Too often it is about the usual preparations; decorations, baking, sending out cards. Julie does most all of that. But she did try to get me to help address cards. So she set out the letters, the pictures, the envelopes and stamps and invited me to come help. I could tell she was upset when I turned heel and walked out of the room. But I was soon back with another stack of envelopes. She asked what I had. I explained, “These are last years cards. I forgot to mail them.” And just like that we were done!
Preparation for Christmas is of course about more than all the extras we do; it is about the Christ child. This morning I want to look at three Christmas hymns that ask questions.
