Hi there!
Welcome to Barah Ministries…a Christian Church based in Mesa, AZ…my name is Pastor Rory Clark. TODAY’S LESSON Merry Christmas To You! Thank you for tuning in to Barah Ministries. We welcome you to our Christmas celebration lesson for our Facebook friends. Merry Christmas! This is the time of the year when we celebrate the birth of our Savior…and our Song Worship Leader, June murphy is going to sing a couple of songs to get you in the holiday spirit! John, Chapter 1, Verse 14 says… JOHN 1:14 And the Word (the Lord…God the Son) became flesh (Jesus Christ in true humanity), and tabernacled among us, and we beheld His glory, glory as of the uniquely born one from God the Father (100% God and 100% man in one person), full of grace and full of truth. This is what we celebrate in this season…God with us…the doctor, Luke, gives an account of the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ…Luke, Chapter 2, Verses 1 to 14… LUKE 2:1 Now in those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus, that a census be taken of all the inhabited earth. LUKE 2:2 This was the first census taken while Quirinius was governor of Syria. LUKE 2:3 And everyone was on his way to register for the census, each to his own city. LUKE 2: 4 Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the city of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David… LUKE 2:5 …in order to register along with Mary, who was engaged to him, and was with child. LUKE 2:6 While they were there, the days were completed for her to give birth. LUKE 2:7 And she gave birth to her firstborn son; and she wrapped Him in cloths, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn. LUKE 2:8 In the same region there were some shepherds staying out in the fields and keeping watch over their flock by night. LUKE 2:9 And an angel of the Lord suddenly stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them; and they were terribly frightened. LUKE 2:10 But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people…” LUKE 2:11 “…for today in the city of David there has been born for you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.” LUKE 2:12 “This will be a sign for you: you will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.” LUKE 2:13 And suddenly there appeared with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying… LUKE 2:14 “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among men with whom He is pleased.” MUSIC AND REFLECTION Enjoy the Singing of The Lord’s Praises O HOLY NIGHT June Murphy Here’s June Murphy to sing about that night…a song entitled O HOLY NIGHT. O HOLY NIGHT O holy night! The stars are brightly shining It is the night of our dear Savior’s birth. O HOLY NIGHT Long lay the world In sin and error pining ‘Til He appeared And the soul felt its worth. O HOLY NIGHT A thrill of hope The weary world rejoices! For yonder breaks A new and glorious morn. O HOLY NIGHT Fall on your knees! O hear the angel voices! O night divine O night when Christ was born. O HOLY NIGHT O night divine O night O night Divine.
