The  colors  at  the  front  of  the  church  are  now  purple.    We  change  these  colors  to  mark  the  seasons  of  the  church  year.    These  seasons  are  designed  to  help  us  remember  the  story  of  Jesus’  life  and  his  work  for  our  salvaHon—the  gospel.     Purple,  a  color  of  royalty,  marks  the  beginning  of   the  story  of   the   fulfillment   of  God’s   kingdom   in   the   coming  of   Jesus  the  King,  which  we   celebrate   in   the   season  of  Advent.    Advent  means  “coming.”     It  is  a  four-­‐week  period  before  Christmas  Day  when  the  church  remembers  Jesus’  first  coming  and  looks  forward  to  his  coming  again  to  finish  the  work  of  redempHon  he  has  begun.  

Songs  of  worship  are  used  with  permission.  CCLI  #100150Unless  otherwise  indicated,  all  scripture  quotaHons  are  fromThe  Holy  Bible,  English  Standard  Version®  (ESV®),  copyright  ©  2001  by  Crossway  Publishers.Used  by  permission.  All  rights  reserved.

FlowersThe  flowers  in  the  chancel  are  given  to  the  glory  of  God  in  loving  memory  of  our  father,Dr.  Andreas  Darmadi,  by  Dr.  Michael  Darmadi  and  family.

Cover Art“Jesus  Came  to  Go  to  War,”  by  Bob  Church,  2014    In  the  Advent  carol  “O  Come,  O  Come,  Emmanuel,”  we  pray  that  Jesus  will  free  his  people  from  “Satan’s  tyranny.”    In  this  image,  the  triumph  of  Jesus  over  the  devil’s  works  is  symbolized  by  the  glory  that  pushes  back  and  breaks  the  weapons  of  war,  which  symbolize  the  cosmic  conflict  and  destrucHon  introduced  into  the  world  by  demonic  and  human  rebellion  against  God.

Prayer RoomThese  people  are  available  in  the  Prayer  Room  a=er  the  service  todayto  pray  for  your  needs  and  the  needs  of  those  who  are  on  your  heart:9:30  a.m.  –  Andy  Gunn,  Rosemary  Oliver10:45  a.m.  –  Jim  Conzelman,  Don  McKinleyTo  reach  the  Prayer  Room,  exit  through  the  door  by  the  pulpit  and  turn  le=  at  the  bomom  of  the  steps.

 SEATED  

We confess our sinBob and Aleene Young (8:30 service)

The Cairns family: Mr. Zachary, Mrs. Whitney, Evangeline (9:45 service)

Leader:   The  people  who  walked  in  darkness  have  seen  a  great  light;       those  who  dwelt  in  a  land  of  deep  darkness,  on  them  has  light  shined.  (Isaiah  9:2)

Choir:       O  come,  thou  Rod  of  Jesse,  free  thine  own  from  Satan's  tyranny.From  depths  of  hell  thy  people  save,  and  give  them  victory  o'er  the  grave.Rejoice!  Rejoice!  Emmanuel  shall  come  to  thee,  O  Israel.

Leader:     Our  help  is  in  the  name  of  the  Lord,  our  light.Let  us  confess  our  sin  and  sorrow  to  him  with  hope.

All:     Father,  we  listen  to  the  devil’s  lies,  and  we  join  the  devil’s  work  in  sin.     We  reject  your  good  and  holy  law  as  useless  or  evil,

and  we  rebel  because  we  think  you  cannot  or  will  not  provide.And  when  our  sin  degrades  and  destroys,we  flee  your  light  to  hide  our  guilt  in  the  darkness.We  are  sorry,  and  we  humbly  repent.    Lord,  have  mercy.

(silent  prayers)

Leader:     Lord,  forgive  us  for  believing  the  devil’s  foolish  lies.Fix  our  eyes  firmly  on  Jesus,  our  champion,who  has  come  to  destroy  the  devil’s  works,so  that  we  can  follow  our  King  and  walk  in  your  light.

All  (sing):   “O  Come,  O  Come,  Emmanuel”  (next  page)

We pray for God to help us worshipPastor:     Christ  is  coming!All:       He  is  coming  indeed,       and  all  the  earth  will  see  the  salva:on  of  our  God!

We greet one another with the peace of Christ

God declares our forgiveness Psalm 130:4, 7-8

Liturgist:   If  the  Lord  should  hold  our  sins  against  us,  no  one  could  stand.But  with  the  Lord  there  is  forgiveness,  that  he  may  be  feared.  O  Israel,  hope  in  the  Lord!For  with  the  Lord  there  is  steadfast  love,and  with  him  is  plenHful  redempHon.And  he  will  redeem  you  from  all  your  sins.

Comfort, Comfort Text: Johann Olearius 1611-1684 (based on Isaiah 40:1-5) Chancel Choir Music: Louis Bourgeois 1551

arr. John Ferguson              

“Comfort,  comfort  now  my  people;tell  of  peace!”  so  says  our  God.  Comfort  those  who  sit  in  darkness,mourning  under  sorrow's  load.  To  God’s  people  now  proclaimthat  God’s  pardon  waits  for  them!  Tell  them  that  their  war  is  over;God  will  reign  in  peace  forever.  

For  the  herald's  voice  is  cryingin  the  desert  far  and  near,  calling  us  to  true  repentance,since  the  kingdom  now  is  here.  O  that  warning  cry  obey!Now  prepare  for  God  a  way!  Let  the  valleys  rise  to  meet  himand  the  hills  bow  down  to  greet  him!  

Straight  shall  be  what  long  was  crookedand  the  rougher  places  plain.  Let  your  hearts  be  true  and  humbleas  befits  his  holy  reign.  For  the  glory  of  the  Lordnow  on  earth  is  shed  abroad,  and  all  flesh  shall  see  the  tokenthat  God's  word  is  never  broken.  

We praise God
