Some Videos from Sunday School

by

I was privileged to teach the Fundamentals of the Faith summer Sunday School class today and showed a couple of videos.  Here they are:

Jason DeRouchie (OT in 10 Minutes):

The Old Testament in Ten Minutes from Desiring God on Vimeo.

Andy Naselli (NT in 10 Minutes):

The New Testament in Ten Minutes from Desiring God on Vimeo.

John Piper (a video I call God Wrote a Book):

I also recommended the class take in Devin Brown’s (10 Minute History of the English Bible):

I hope these are helpful in introducing you to the message and thrust of the Bible.

Christmas Eve Recap 2013

by

We had a great night of worship as a church family together tonight.

We opened singing O Come, O Come Emmanuel and went into this video by Isaac Wimberley:

Advent: God With Us from The Village Church on Vimeo.

After singing Joy To the World, Hark! The Herald Angels Sing and O Come All Ye Faithful, Mandy Swisher sang O Holy Night using these lyrics:

Verse One (by Placide Cappeau, trans. John S. Dwight)
O holy night, the stars are brightly shining;
It is the night of the dear Savior’s birth!
Long lay the world in sin and error pining,
Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth.
A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
Fall on your knees, O hear the angel voices!
O night divine, O night when Christ was born!
O night, O holy night, O night divine!
Verse Two (by Kevin Hartnett)
Humbly He lay, Creator come as creature,
Born on the floor of a hay-scattered stall.
True Son of God, yet bearing human feature,
He entered earth to reverse Adam’s fall.
In towering grace, He laid aside His glory,
And in our place, was sacrificed for sin.
Fall on your knees! O hear the gospel story!
O night divine, O night when Christ was born!
O night, O holy night, O night divine!
Verse Three (by Kevin Hartnett)
Come then to Him Who lies within the manger,
With joyful shepherds, proclaim Him as Lord.
Let not the Promised Son remain a stranger;
In reverent worship, make Christ your Adored.
Eternal life is theirs who will receive Him;
With grace and peace, their lives He will adorn.
Fall on your knees! Receive the Gift of heaven!
O night divine, O night when Christ was born!
O night, O holy night, O night divine!
After reviewing the Christmas story from Luke 1, Matthew 1 and Luke 2, e closed singing Silent Night as we lit candles.  I hope this service helped inspire your worship of God enfleshing Himself.  Have a Merry Christmas.  

Dangerous Calling – For All In Ministry

by

The latest book from Paul Tripp entitled Dangerous Calling helps show the unique temptations that go with being involved in Christian Ministry.  Tripp is masterful, as usual, in exposing our hearts and their most desperate need: God and the Gospel.  This year, we will be taking our leaders through the DVD and taking some time to consider how God might be directing us, exposing our weaknesses, so that He might be supremely glorified.

Here’s a teaser of the videos:
