12/20/22 GATHERING AT THE NET HOUSE

We gathered this past Sunday, as we are continuing our celebration of the birth of Jesus, with prayer, singing, testimony and preaching of the word. Along with in-person gathering I am also sharing with other folks through live streaming.

God's plan is to redeem and restore people to Himself, which will also restore families and convert the lost, a plan that transcends human history but became possible through the birth, life, death and resurrection of God's Son, Jesus Christ.

God sent Gabriel to prepare Zacharias and Elizabeth for His incarnation;

God sent an angel to prepare Mary and Joseph for the coming of Jesus;

God sent a multitude of heavenly host to announce the birth of His Son to the shepherds;

God sent Simeon to declare the mission of Jesus to Mary and Joseph and sent Anna to announce the arrival of God's promised "redemption;"

God sent John the Baptizer to prepare the people for the coming of the Lord God (Jesus).

Today God sends truly converted Christians to proclaim the coming of the incarnate God (Jesus), Who redeems and restores the lost, Who turns the hearts of the fathers to their children, Who turns the disobedient to the wisdom of the righteous. We proclaim the coming of the Lamb and the Lion, the Savior and the Judge, the Servant and the King.

We celebrated with congregational songs, special music from a duet, a trio, a soloist and our Net House youth. The Lord willing, I expect even more good music, including other Net House singers next week.
