12.10.25
Hello brothers and sisters,
This Sunday, in the morning I will preach a sermon on 1 Peter 2:4-12, “God’s People and the Cornerstone,” and in the evening I will preach a sermon on 2 Samuel 5, “King of All Israel.” The 10:00 am lesson will be on question 104 of the Shorter Catechism, on the fourth petition of the Lord’s prayer.
Caroling on December 10th (Today)
On December 10th (Wednesday), we plan to carol in the Duncans’ neighborhood. We will gather at their house at 6:30, carol from door to door, and then return for dessert. Lyric sheets will be provided.
If desired, families can bring a plate of cookies to share after caroling and some cookies to exchange. Please bring cookies for the cookie exchange packed in bags of about six cookies, and plan to bring as many packages as you’d like to take home.
This will take the place of our midweek meeting. We will resume meeting at the Bringe home at 7:00 pm next Wednesday for our study of J. Gresham Machen’s book, The New Testament: An Introduction to Its Literature and History.

Joy to the World: A Christmas Song
“I have sometimes seen people dispute whether ‘Joy to the World’ was meant to refer to Christ’s first coming or to his second coming. The answer can be found in the writings of the hymn’s author. While I had previously noticed the song’s original title, I more recently noticed that Watts writes rather directly about what the song is about. Briefly put, the song was written about Christ’s first coming and the kingdom he established then.”

Quote
“A good man can never be placed in a situation in which it is not his duty to strive against sin, and to seek, by every mean in his power, however feeble and unpromising, the advancement of the Redeemer’s kingdom. On the contrary, the more prevailing and triumphant the cause of Satan may be, the stronger should such a one consider his obligations to oppose it with zeal.”
– Samuel Miller (1798)
