The Bounds of Love

This morning we begin a new series on God’s Law, as found in Exodus 20. From now until Palm Sunday, we’ll read through each of the ten commandments as the sermon text, and use each of them in our confession of sin. This week, you’ll also notice Jesus’ summary of the Law from Matthew 22 (“You shall love the Lord…

Isaiah’s Song: Beracott-Isaiah

Christmas is here! Today, we will greet our Lord who is “born this happy morning.” We’ll confess that “the Lord is come,” and we implore the earth to “receive her King.” We’ll declare, “To us, a child of hope is born.” We’ll sing alleluias to the “lovely child, holy child,” and we’ll hail this baby as the “Word made flesh.”…

O Savior Dear

Here’s a rough demo of a Christmas tune we began singing in 2021 at Parish Presbyterian Church. O Savior Dear Text: Paul Gerhardt, 1653, tr. Paul Kretzman, 1930, alt. 2021. Music: O JESU CHRIST, DEIN KRIPPLEIN IST, Johann Crüger, 1656, alt. Henry C. Haffner, 2021. O Savior dear, Thy manger here my soul shall call a paradise of glory. Here…

The Angels’ Song: The Gloria

In last Sunday’s sermon text, Zechariah proclaimed how God is always working redemption for His people. This Sunday we see the fulfillment of that prophecy through yet another angel proclamation. A whole host of angels appear to the shepherds calling them to come and worship the Shepherd of their souls who will satisfy them with every good thing. God has…

Mary’s Song: The Magnificat

Mary’s Song: The Magnificat

This Sunday, we begin a short sermon series on the “songs” in the New Testament that surround the birth of Christ: Zechariah’s song (Luke 1:67-79), the angels’ song (Luke 2:14), Simeon’s song (Luke 2:29-32), and today, Mary’s song (Luke 1:46-55). Several of the hymns we sing this morning allude to Mary’s actions in the story of Jesus’ birth. Come All…

Majesty in Meekness

Over the last eight weeks, we’ve had a great opportunity to dive deeply into the Scripture by reading and singing the psalms. We’ll conclude the series this Sunday with Psalm 8 preached and sung, along with four other complete psalm settings (100, 29, 21, and 110), excerpts from 3 others (118, 95, 51), and a reading of another (111). If…

A Plea for Justice

Most of the psalms, hymns, and readings in this morning’s service could be summed up in a single word: “Help!” We ask the Lord to rescue us from a foreign throng (Blest Be The Lord, My Rock, My Might—Psalm 144), and we cry out “Save your servant! preserve my life!” (Turn Your Ear And Answer—Psalm 86). We are warned to…
