Silver Bells

City sidewalks busy sidewalks

Dressed in holiday style

In the air there's a feeling of Christmas

Children laughing, people passing

Meeting smile after smile

And on every street corner you'll hear

Silver bells silver bells

It's Christmas time in the city

Ring-a-ling hear them ring

Soon it will be Christmas day

Let it Snow

Oh, the weather outside is frightful

But the fire is so delightful

And since we've no place to go

Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!

It doesn't show signs of stopping

And I brought some corn for popping

The lights are turned way down low

Let it snow! Let it snow!

When we finally kiss goodnight

How I'll hate going out in the storm

But if you'll really hold me tight

All the way home I'll be warm

And the fire is slowly dying

And, my dear, we're still goodbying

But as long as you'd love me so

Let it snow! Let it snow and snow!

Jingle Bells

Dashing through the snow

In a one-horse open sleigh

O'er the fields we go

Laughing all the way

Bells on bobtails ring

Making spirits bright

What fun it is to ride and sing

A sleighing song tonight

Jingle bells, jingle bells

Jingle all the way

Oh, what fun it is to ride

In a one-horse open sleigh, hey

Jingle bells, jingle bells

Jingle all the way

Oh, what fun it is to ride

In a one-horse open sleigh

Silent Night in Spanish 

Noche de paz, noche de amor,

Todo duerme en derredor.

Entre sus astros que esparcen su luz

Bella anunciando al niñito Jesús.

Brilla la estrella de paz,

Brilla la estrella de paz.

Noche de paz, noche de amor,

Todo duerme en derredor.

Sólo velan en la oscuridad

Los pastores que en el campo están

Y la estrella de Belén,

Y la estrella de Belén.

Noche de paz, noche de amor,

Todo duerme en derredor.

Sobre el santo niño Jesús

Una estrella esparce su luz,

Brilla sobre el Rey,

Brilla sobre el Rey.

Prayer-walking

Prayer-walking involves taking our prayers to the very places where we desire to see God’s presence manifested and our prayers answered. Prayer-walking is the powerful dynamic of praying on-site with God's sight.

Prayer-walking uses the sights, sounds, even smells to engage both body and mind in the ministry of prayer.

BIBLICAL EXAMPLES

Joshua and Caleb walked throughout the Promised Land with a desire to see it as God saw it. They walked in godly vision. In identifying enemy powers, do so in the context of the vastly superior power of God. We need to be aware of the enemy BUT in awe of God – seeing things as they really are not as they appear to be (II Corinthians 4:18). There were giants in the land and cities with great walls, but Joshua and Caleb believed that “(God) will lead us into that land ... we will swallow them up. Their protection is gone, but the Lord is with us.” (Numbers 14: 8b, 9b)

In Nehemiah we see a person with a God-given burden and a sensitive heart. Before Nehemiah ever set foot in Jerusalem, the Scripture tells us he wept, mourned, fasted and prayed for the city (Nehemiah 1:4). When he finally arrived, his eyes saw the rubble, the burned city gates, as had others before him. However, when a person with a God-given burden and a God-sensitive heart saw them, things changed!

ATTITUDES OF PRAYER-WALKING

First of all, realize that we prayer-walk before the throne in an attitude of worship. Exalting Jesus, magnifying God from the very place(s) where we stand.

Worship fosters faith inside us because worship focuses on the character of God. Three elements that should be a part of our prayer-walking worship experience are, (1) thanksgiving, (2) praise and worship, and (3) repentance. Thanksgiving is how the psalmist says we are to enter God’s presence (Psalm 100:1). When we exalt in our Lord and lift Him up, Jesus is lifted up (John 12:32). Demons tremble at His name! (James 2:19)

Like Isaiah, as we truly see God for who He is, our response is one of unworthiness, a broken and contrite heart before God. God will not turn away from a broken and contrite heart (Psalm 51:17). We cannot repent for others, but Daniel and many others expressed a humble attitude of repentance before God on behalf of the people (Daniel 9:2-19).

Second, we prayer-walk amidst the evil powers with prayers of warfare. All people belong to the kingdom of Satan until God sets them free. We need to understand that the enemy has blinded the minds of people, so they are not able to see the light of the gospel (2 Corinthians 4:4). Jesus is the light of the world and has defeated Satan. (I John 3:8)

Third, we prayer-walk throughout the community of people with prayers of blessing. We can pray blessings of peace upon families, dorms, offices, etc. We can pray prayers that welcome Jesus to our campus/city in all His love, forgiveness, healing and cleansing. We can pray that God would be honored, adored, lifted up, revealed and praised by name among the people of the community.

Pastor Jack Hayford prayed this prayer of blessing for Los Angeles: “Now Lord, we are the seed of Abraham and we speak blessing upon the people of this community. Let your salvation, healing, deliverance and reconciliation settle over this community.”

Genesis 24:1-67

1. Who have you prayed for? 

2. Who have you cared for? 

3. What has God done for you recently in your life? 

4. What has God taught you?

As Abraham enters the twilight of his spiritual journey with God, he still has some work to do. He has retired from many of his duties, but he can’t retire from God ... and neither can we. As long as our hearts are pumping and our brains working, we have work to do as well.

Let’s see how this works through the four principles found in this passage. This morning we are going to view these principles from the perspective of the church rather than a single believer like Abraham. Now many view the church as a building, but the Bible never refers to the church as a building. Rather, it defines the church as a body of believers. We are the church.

Let's get started.

1. The church is responsible to ensure that God’s mission continues to the next generation. (Genesis 24:1-9)

God uses the church, people like you and me, to carry out his mission. It's our responsibility. It was Abraham's responsibility. Now, for God's mission to continue, Abraham's son Issac had to get married and have kids. During that time arranged marriages were the rule, not the exception like today. So it was Abraham's responsibility to find his son that wife.

Having lived in the land of the Canaanites for decades, he knew that he didn't want his son to marry one of those girls, so he sent his servant back to his homeland to find a wife. We don't know much beyond this, but the little that we do know we can infer that the Canaanite's hearts were far from God ... they were faithless.

Incidentally, in one of the letters written to the Corinthian church, God warns the church not to marry outside of the faith because of the pitfalls of trying to navigate through life with two different worldviews. (2 Corinthians 6:14-15) It seems Abraham intuitively knew this. This is good instruction for us as well.

This task to advance God's mission by finding a wife for his son weighed so heavy on Abraham, that he made his servant swear by an oath that he would faithfully execute Abraham's desire. I sometimes wonder ... does the church today have that same burden of responsibility when thinking of passing our faith to the next generation?

Let's think in terms of the Great Commission. Remember, right before Jesus ascended to heaven he gave his last instructions to his disciples. He said, "Go, therefore, and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you." (Matthew 28:19-20).

In the twilight of his life with God, the apostle Paul wrote this to his spiritual heir, Timothy: "You then, my child, be strengthened by the grace that is in Christ Jesus, and what you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also." (2 Timothy 2:1-2)

We are responsible. Are we burdened by it? Let's take it to heart. Start with your children, grandchildren, or great-grandchildren, and move out from there.

2. The church should be confident that the Lord will lead them in their faithful activities. (Genesis 24:10-27)

This is the intersection of God providing and us praying. Remember that God is in control. He is all-powerful. He is all-knowing. He is present with us for he will not abandon us or forsake us. He answers prayers. His plans will not be thwarted. He provides. Notice how the Lord, by way of an angel clears the path of Abraham’s servant: before he finished praying, the girl for whom he had been praying appears. (Genesis 24:15)

As much as God has the power to provide, we must pray for that provision and rely on him to make it happen. This is what the servant did. (Genesis 24:12-14) Imagine this: You have been instructed to go find a spouse for you boss' son in a foreign land. No physical description was given to you. How on earth are you going to accomplish this?

Prayer, right? and Lord, give a sign that I am on the right path. This is what Abraham's servant did and he was confident that the Lord would provide for his faithful activities.

Is this true in our life?

3. The church must give priority to completing God’s work. (Genesis 24:28-60)

As the servant enters Rebekah's home, her family wants to eat and visit. Yet, he tells them he wants to get down to business first. There is a sense of urgency and priority to complete his task.

I don't know if the Lord has burdened your heart to share some thoughts with someone or not. If he has, you will know exactly what I am about to speak about. There are times that you might show up to share something with someone and they invite you to watch the game or eat some food or play a game. You go with the flow and before you know it, it's time to go and you haven't had "the time" to share with them.

So, take care of business first. Now, notice how he takes care of his business. He recalls the whole scene in vivid detail to make it unmistakably clear that God's fingerprints are all over this ... in essence, he is saying "This is not a coincidence, but the living God ... the God of Abraham is in this." Now, even Abraham's family, who are not faithful followers of God, sees the power of God in this. (Genesis 24:50) The same is true today. This is how some come to faith. They come to faith through the testimonies of others. So share yours because you never know how God is working in someone's heart.

4. The church may rest assured that the Lord will complete the good work he has done. (Genesis 24:61-67)

The family releases Rebekah to Abraham's family and she marries Isaac ... and God's mission continues to the next generation. God is making good the promise he made to Abraham ... that his offspring would be as numerous as the stars. (Genesis 15:5)

We can find that same assurance in him as well. He will complete the good work that he started in you ... that he started in this church body 69 years ago (Philippians 1:6) for he is faithful and will be with us until the end of the age. (Matthew 28:20)

What's my Line?

Who have you prayed for? 

Who have you cared for? 

What has God done for you recently in your life? What has God taught you?

Read Genesis 11:1-9 once again.

Where are we like the builders of the Babel Tower that wrestle with starting to do something good but slide into doing something to exalt themselves?

*The whole of the Society is often able to do more than the sum  of the parts.  When God calls us together, you see His Church... When man assembles the group, you see an idol. Be cautious of doing the right thing for the wrong reasons.  -Derin Uras 

What are some of the ways we can point others to a God that draws our worship without drawing attention to ourselves?

This week, where might I tell my own story of redemption?  Where do I need to build horizontally rather than hoping to build myself vertically to be seen by others?

Genesis 11:1-9

Who have you prayed for? 

Who have you cared for? 

What has God done for you recently in your life? What has God taught you?

Man's Action

a. Man Gathers (Genesis 11:1-2)

Gathering people together seems like an innocent and fine idea until we realize that it's not what God instructed them to do. Notice what God commanded both Adam and Noah, "Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth ..." (Genesis 1:28 and Genesis 9:1). Noah's descendants have been obedient to the first two commands, but the third they are having trouble. How can they fill the earth when they are congregating in one spot? They too have fallen victim to the subtly of sin and direct disobeyed their Lord.If we were painting these first 11 chapters onto a canvas an observer would be able to pick up the details of one of its dominant themes: sin and judgment. These nine verses are the fifth cycle of sin and judgment in the first 11 chapters. Remember, Adam and Eve's desire to be like God caused them to be cast out of the garden; Cain's envy which inflamed his anger and lead to murdering his brother caused him to be cast out of his land; civilization became so violent and corrupt that God flooded the entire earth to get rid of it; Ham dishonored his father and a curse was placed on his descendants.Do we get the depth and breadth and length of sin? Are we beginning the waywardness of man? How he strays from having God as the center of his life to gravitating to himself and his desires as the center of his life? If we are honest with ourselves, aren't our hearts affected by lust, envy, anger, dishonor, and pride? Don't our will long be in control, be accepted, be independent, and when hurt or humiliated seek revenge?As we paint the details of this scene into our picture, the observer will notice the vivid and numerous strokes of pride. These people coming into the plains of Shinar and led by the mighty warrior Nimrod (Genesis 10:8-10) were very prideful people. It was a national trait. We will see how it served as a warning to the nation of Israel as it will to us.

b. Man Constructs (Genesis 11:3-4)

One of the things we observe right off the bat is their confidence and ingenuity. Notice the leaders confidently command people to "come" so that they can make bricks. Bricks were made of clay, water, and gravel. They just didn't set these wet bricks in the sun for the sun to dry and harden them. They used a new technique do to that: fire. This new technology quickened the hardening process and depending on their knowledge at the time might strengthen the bricks so that they may bear more weight.Once they discovered that their way of producing bricks was superior to how bricks had been made in the past, they decided that they could substitute bricks for stone. This is a huge technological advancement. They will no longer have to quarry stone and figure out a way to deliver it to the construction site, now they can just make bricks on-site and construct stuff a lot faster. In itself, this is all good. This is one of the reasons God gave us all brains.Yet, when you mix technology advancements with pride, ambition, and a spiritual quest, things can go sideways in a hurry. One of the things that these people believed is that you needed to build a stairway to heaven for mortals to ascend into heaven and commune with the gods and for the gods to have a way to descend from heaven to commune with the mortals. These stairways were often built as part of a temple and at the top of the stairways, there was a blue porcelain object that represented the celestial beings. One of these temples was called "The House of the Link between Heaven and Earth" You see they were on a spiritual quest much like many today who devise in their minds how to satisfy that deep spiritual hunger dwelling in our hearts.Not only are these people worshiping different gods, their aim in all of this tower and city building was to create a name for themselves so they wouldn't be marginalized. They thought through their efforts and ambition, they could secure themselves power, glory, and security. In certain areas of our society, do we not find the same thing? Up until this point, it's been all man and no God. That is about to change.

2 God's Action

a. God Destructs (Genesis 11:5-7)

The construction found on the earth is answered by the destruction from heaven. While a man worked hard constructing an idol that bore his name, God worked to destruct man's work to bear his name to all. It seems that the Lord was not angered with them building a city, but he was angered by how their pride, ambition, philosophy, and self-sufficiency have become the primary and central things in their lives.This idea of "nothing will be impossible with them" is the notion that humans clearly will not live within God-given boundaries. Their quest to satisfy their spiritual hunger apart from the Creator if not stopped will turn the world back into the chaos, violence, and corruption found before the flood. God in his sovereign wisdom and love for his image bearers will not allow that to happen. He will step in and protect man from himself.We can confidently conclude without going any further in the Bible that when a man is left up to his reasoning and his way, his life does not flourish. Rather, it descends into envy, selfishness, anger, bitterness, pride, violence, and corruption.

b. God Scatters (Genesis 11:8-9)

So God reversed man's idea of flourishing and fulfilled his command practically and ingeniously. He confused their language (they now babel to each other which is a play on words with the Babylonian language "babel". Their's means "gate of god") and scatters them throughout the earth to fulfill it. Once again, he sent his people into exile. He did this with Adam and Eve, Cain, and now with Noah's descendants. Looking forward he did it again when he allowed the Assyrians to ransack Jerusalem, enslave the Israelites, and move them out of Jerusalem. We are still living the effect of God scattering people. According to Ethnologue, the are over 7,000 languages and dialects currently spoken. Until Christ returns, it looks like Rosetta Stone will continue to have customers. Yet, it appears there will come a day when everyone who is in heaven will speak the same language once again. Revelation 7:9-10 records that people from every language will be standing at the foot of the throne exclaiming, "Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb.

"So how does all this apply to us?"

1. As we have seen, disobedience is a big deal. We focus a lot on individual disobedience, so this morning I want to explore national disobedience. The descendants of Ham disobeyed the Lord and he did not the guilty go unpunished. The same is true for us today. 

The further down the road we go of replacing Christianity with humanism, the further we move away from God. 

At some point, God will say enough and judge us. To prevent that from occurring, one of the things we can do is pray something like this: "if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land." (2 Chronicles 7:14)

Another thing to do is to stay close to God, allow him to cover you will his armor, and flee sin.

2. These people were on a spiritual quest as many of us are today. Their hearts longed to be close to a transcendental God (or gods) so they built a stairway to heaven. This was their solution. Today, people don't build a physical stairway to heaven, but they do try to figure out how to connect to a being greater than themselves. The only true stairway to heaven is through Jesus (John 14:6). It is our job today to help people who are on their spiritual quest to get connected with Jesus in ways that they will understand. I have introduced many of those ways to you over the last couple of years ... use them.

3. Finally, know that God is ever-present. He was back then as he is now. God never left those people on the plains of Shinar, nor will he leave us in the valley of the sun. He will destroy those idols that move him off-center and judge us to protect us from ourselves. Remember, that our hearts are wicked and desperately sick, who can understand them? (Jeremiah 17:9) so call on him for he is your help in your day of trouble. (Psalm 46:1) 

(c) 2022 written by David Zook 

Questions by Derin Uras

The people of Babel acted in two ways: 1. they built a city, 2. they built a tower with its top in the heavens. 

What was their desire in these two actions?

building a city -> security ?

tower in heavens -> praise? But to whom?

What does this say say about God how we should view security? Isn't security a good thing?

When does doing good work move from honoring/praising God to self sufficiency and self praise?

When was a time that you built a metaphorical tower of Babel? How did God "come down and confuse your language" in that moment of you life?

Living Hope

Verse 1

How great the chasm that lay between us
How high the mountain I could not climb
In desperation I turned to heaven
And spoke Your name into the night
Then through the darkness Your loving-kindness
Tore through the shadows of my soul
The work is finished the end is written
Jesus Christ my living hope

Verse 2

Who could imagine so great a mercy
What heart could fathom such boundless grace
The God of ages stepped down from glory
To wear my sin and bear my shame
The cross has spoken I am forgiven
The King of kings calls me His own
Beautiful Savior I’m Yours forever
Jesus Christ my living hope

Chorus

Hallelujah praise the One who set me free
Hallelujah death has lost its grip on me
You have broken every chain
There’s salvation in Your name
Jesus Christ my living hope

Then came the morning that sealed the promise
Your buried body began to breathe
Out of the silence the Roaring Lion
Declared the grave has no claim on me
(REPEAT)
Jesus Yours is the victory whoa

Oh God You are my living hope

How Great Thou Art

Verse 1

O Lord my God
When I in awesome wonder
Consider all the worlds
Thy hands have made
I see the stars
I hear the rolling thunder
Thy pow'r thru'out
The universe displayed

Chorus

Then sings my soul
My Savior God to Thee
How great Thou art
How great Thou art
Then sings my soul
My Savior God to Thee
How great Thou art
How great Thou art

Verse 2

And when I think
That God His Son not sparing
Sent Him to die
I scarce can take it in
That on the cross
My burden gladly bearing
He bled and died
To take away my sin

How Great Is Our God 

Missional Church

Verse 1

The splendor of the King
Clothed in majesty
Let all the earth rejoice
All the earth rejoice
He wraps Himself in light
And darkness tries to hide
And trembles at His voice
And trembles at His voice

Chorus

How great is our God
Sing with me
How great is our God
And all will see how great
How great is our God

Verse 2

And age to age He stands
And time is in His hands
Beginning and the End
Beginning and the End
The Godhead three in one
Father Spirit Son
The Lion and the Lamb
The Lion and the Lamb

Bridge

Name above all names
Worthy of all praise
My heart will sing
How great is our God

Come Thou Fount Of Every Blessing (Nettleton)

Verse 1

Come Thou fount of ev'ry blessing
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace
Streams of mercy never ceasing
Call for songs of loudest praise
Teach me some melodious sonnet
Sung by flaming tongues above
Praise the mount I'm fixed upon it
Mount of Thy redeeming love

Verse 2

Here I raise mine Ebenezer
Hither by Thy help I'm come
And I hope by Thy good pleasure
Safely to arrive at home
Jesus sought me when a stranger
Wand'ring from the fold of God
He to rescue me from danger
Interposed His precious blood

Verse 3

O to grace how great a debtor
Daily I'm constrained to be
Let Thy grace Lord like a fetter
Bind my wand'ring heart to Thee
Prone to wander Lord I feel it
Prone to leave the God I love
Here's my heart Lord take and seal it
Seal it for Thy courts above

Oh For A Thousand Tongues To Sing

Verse 1

Oh for a thousand tongues to sing
My great Redeemer's praise
The glories of my God and King
The triumphs of His grace

Verse 2

My gracious Master and my God
Assist me to proclaim
To spread through all the earth abroad
The honors of Thy name

Verse 3

He breaks the pow'r of canceled sin
He sets the pris'ner free
His blood can make the foulest clean

His blood availed for me

Verse 4

He speaks and list'ning to His voice
New life the dead receive
The mournful broken hearts rejoice
The humble poor believe

He speaks and list'ning to His voice
New life the dead receive
The mournful broken hearts rejoice
The humble poor believe

Jesus the name that charms our fears

That bids our sorrows cease

'Tis music in the sinner's ears

'Tis life and health and peace

In Christ your head you then shall know

Shall feel your sins forgiven

Anticipate your hea-vn below

And own that love is Heav'n

Dropping in at ASU

Goodness Of God

Verse 1

I love You Lord
Oh Your mercy never fails me
All my days
I've been held in Your hands
From the moment that I wake up
Until I lay my head
I will sing of the goodness of God

Chorus

All my life You have been faithful
All my life You have been so so good
With every breath that I am able
I will sing of the goodness of God

Verse 2

I love Your voice
You have led me through the fire
In darkest night
You are close like no other
I've known You as a father
I've known You as a friend
I have lived in the goodness of God

Bridge

Your goodness is running after
It’s running after me
Your goodness is running after
It’s running after me
With my life laid down
I’m surrendered now
I give You everything
Your goodness is running after
It's running after me

In Christ Alone

Verse 1

In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light my strength my song
This Cornerstone this solid Ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love what depths of peace
When fears are stilled when strivings cease
My Comforter my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand

Verse 2

In Christ alone who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
Till on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live

Verse 3

There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost its grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ

Verse 4

No guilt in life no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life's first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
Till He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand
