II. Possessing Christmas Spirituality
SERMON TEXT: Colossians 3:12-17
Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; 13 bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do. 14 But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection. 15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. 16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. 17 And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him. (NKJV)
PRAYER; THE LORD’S PRAYER
HYMN 108:1,5,6,8 We Sing, Immanuel, Thy Praise
1We sing, Immanuel, Thy praise,
Thou Prince of Life and Fount of grace,
Thou Flow’r of heav’n and Star of morn,
Thou Lord of lords, Thou Virgin-born, Hal-le-lu-jah!
5But I, Thy servant, Lord, today
Confess my love and freely say,
I love Thee truly, but I would
That I might love Thee as I should. Hal-le-lu-jah!
6I have the will, the power is weak;
Yet, Lord, my humble offering take
And graciously the love receive
Which my poor heart to Thee can give. Hal-le-lu-jah!
8Thus will I sing Thy praises here
With joyful spirit year by year;
And when we reckon years no more,
May I in heaven Thy name adore! Hal-le-lu-jah!
BENEDICTION;
C: Amen.
Hymn 97:1, 4 Let Us All with Gladsome Voice
1. Let us all with gladsome voice Praise the God of heaven,
Who to bid our hearts rejoice, His own Son hath given.

Grant us now a glad new year. Amen, Jesus, hear us!
