DIY Sunday Service Kit 24/12/2022 - 'Prepare' - Matthew 3:1-12

 

Merry Christmas and welcome to our DIY Sunday Service Kit for this Christmas weekend!

We all enter Christmas with different aspirations and expectations ... but the sermon today revolves around the theme of unmet expectations and surprises the probably seemed weird.

Here's a taster:

But first, a prayer then some carols.

Lord and loving Heavenly Father, we thank you for the freedom we enjoy today to be able to celebrate our Saviour's birth, free to worship, free to acknowledge you publicly before anyone and everyone on our land.

Please give us again today a sense of the joy of our salvation, and of love for our Saviour, that we may worship you with enthusiasm for the Gospel of our God the liberty that characterises the people of God.

We ask for Jesus' sake.

AMEN.

Let's pray.

Lord and father we thank you for the way we can put our trust in you through the unexpected and the seemingly un-planned circumstances of life.

Help us this Christmas and in this coming year to trust you more fully and follow you more closely as we prove again, through whatever surprises life may bring, the wonders of your love.

We ask for Jesus' sake.

AMEN.
