Week beginning 11th December

 Reading: Psalm 126

The Holly and the Ivy,
Are dancing in a ring,
Round the berry-bright red candles,
and the white and shining King.

And One is for God's people,
In every age and day.
We are watching for His coming.

We believe and we obey.

And Two is for the Prophets,
And for the light they bring,
They are candles in the darkness.
All alight for Christ the king.

And Three for John the Baptist,

He calls on us to sing;
‘O prepare the way for Jesus Christ,
He is coming, Christ the King.

Prayers:

Heavenly Father, This third week of Advent, let us remember that the good news of Jesus’ birth has the power to bring us great joy this Christmas season. Our joy isn’t dependent on what is going on in our life, in our world, or the people that we are with. It doesn’t depend on the gifts we give or the gifts we find under the tree. No earthly thing can ever give us complete joy. Our joy comes from you. That joy that flooded the hearts of the shepherds, the angels, the wise men, the hosts of heaven, and Mary and Joseph is the joy that still has the power to overwhelm our hearts with rejoicing. 

Those who gathered around the new baby were blessed because they believed that you had fulfilled your promises. Mary and Joseph believed and were able to feel the joy of holding baby Jesus in their arms. The shepherds and wise men believed the angels and the signs and experienced the great gladness of worshipping their Messiah.

Those who knew him and recognized him were overjoyed at the coming of Jesus. They saw the prophecies fulfilled and their fear was replaced with happiness as they gazed on the face of the one who would be their Saviour. They trusted in your promises and their hearts were filled with gladness as they watched your loving-kindness manifested in the face of a tiny baby in a lowly manger. 

Father, you offer that same joy to us now if we know you and recognize Jesus as our Saviour and Lord. You gave us a reason to celebrate when you gave us the unspeakable gift of Jesus Christ. You came to dwell among us. You went to Calvary’s cross for us. You overcame death and rose from the dead for us. You forgive our sin and give us eternal life when we believe in you. 

Our joy doesn’t come from our jobs, our family, our relationships, our finances, or our success. Our joy doesn’t come from what we have on earth or who we are with. Our joy is a gift. It is the gift that you gave us that first Christmas in Jesus Christ. Our joy is encompassed in our Saviour, King Jesus. Flood our hearts with joy this Advent season as we reflect on the good news of Jesus’ birth. In Jesus’ precious name we pray. Amen

Prayer:

God with us,

Your Son Jesus,

calls us to follow him.

Give us courage to leave behind the things that don’t really matter,

and to follow you in our lives,

in your special love for people with no power or influence,

In your struggle against the powers of evil and destruction.

Show us the way to travel, we pray,

and give us strength and courage.

---

We pray for the powerful of the world,

for heads of state and for leaders of big business,

especially for those who have the means

to save our fragile world from environmental disaster

Deliver them from the lure of power for its own sake

and the love of wealth above all else.

Give them compassion

for those who have very little power or wealth.

As members of the human race,

teach us to serve the common good,

and to cherish those who own the least.

---

Jesus, our friend, You healed the sick 

and brought God’s love to ordinary people.

We pray those all those we know who are sick

especially …..

asking that they will know your presence,

encompassing them in love on every side

bringing healing and peace.

We pray for those who have died,

that they will rest in your eternal love and peace:

we remember especially…

We pray, too, for many who mourn;

for those who have lost family members in the pandemic,

and for all who are lost in sadness and grief.

---

Jesus we give thanks for your love without end,

for us, your children,

and for your call to follow you.

We give thanks for the purpose and direction that call brings,

for faith which deepens and grows as we journey with you,

and for the hope you give us,

We give thanks for the voices in the news,

voices of faith speaking of your beautiful  creation,

and of your Kingdom of justice and peace.

Help us to treasure that which we have,

to cherish the world you made,

to rejoice in its beauty

to glimpse your reflection in the sky, the sea, the sun, moon and stars,

and in the faces of those we meet. Amen

Song: O come, O come Emmanuel

O Come, O Come, Emmanuel (Tune: Veni Immanuel - 5vv) [with lyrics for congregations] - YouTube

How much do you like the past?

What period of the past would you like to live in?

How often do you here people talking about how wonderful everything was in the past?

There was no litter on the streets; everywhere was clean and bright; everybody was polite and well mannered; everyone was honest;

Further in the past; we had the age of chivalry when everyone dressed in spectacular Hollywood clothes, and had impeccable manners while they jousted (gently) and ate fantastic feasts.

Even right back to the stone age, we have a romantic image of life. People want to “get back to nature” or live “Off Grid”

In 1981, Tony Capstick released a record entitled “Capstick comes home”

This was inspired by the “Hovis adverts of the time, and mocked the idea that everything was better in the past.

My mother talked about people cutting the toes out of shoes when their children had grown out of them. Perhaps some of you have similar reminiscences.

What has this to do with John the Baptist?

John appeared bout 500 years after the last of the prophets. Despite their messages, that the people needed to turn to God, and follow His commandments, they had become part of the culture. It was written down and was a part of the literature of the nation. The individual prophets had become glamourised, may even have been imagined in the same sort of way that we imagine the saints, although there is little, if any, surviving Jewish art. Due largely to the ban on graven images.

The religious leaders of the day believed that they were following the law, and the teachings of the prophets. They had surrounded themselves with people who agreed with them, (Sound familiar?) and claimed a monopoly on interpretation. After all, they had the might of the prophets behind them.

Then a rather odd figure arrives on the scene;

If you can imagine a report by the committee on his job application; it might have said something like “says he is a Baptist, but he doesn’t act like one”

An ascetic, one who lived a rather unconventional life. Not well dressed, indeed, his dress and diet were worthy of of note, and therefore presumably not the norm. Unlike Jesus, and others, he waited for people to come to him, and did not seek them. He certainly was not a crowd pleaser, he did not say what people wanted to hear; he was direct, blunt to the point of rudeness in his preaching. Later evidence shows that he certainly did not adjust his message to his audience!

He is described as the final prophet, but unlike the rest of the prophets, he was not talking about the future. He was not telling people about some vague time when God, or His representative would come.

As many of us remember “The Kingdom of God is at hand” the NIV says “is near”. Not sometime in the future, “At hand”. Here. Now.

In the children’s film Shrek, there is a character of a talking Donkey, voiced by Eddie Murphy. When they are on the road to “Far Far Away” , he utters the words every parent is familiar with. “Are we there yet?” How did you used to answer? Shrek lost patience, and urged Donkey to stop being himself!! Eventually of course, he could answer “Yes!”

John the Baptist is saying “Yes” to the question asked for many hundreds of years. “Are we there yet?”

We know the full story. We know that the message of Christmas is “The kingdom of God is here” God is with us”

We need to be telling others, just like Shrek told Donkey, “Yes, we are there”. “The Kingdom of God is at hand.”

Prayer:

Father, we adore you; we worship you; we praise you. You are almighty, you reveal yourself through the wonders of creation. It is good to come together to praise you and celebrate your mighty acts.

We acknowledge that there are times when we are far from you; that we feel that there is no hope when this is the case.

We thank you for the salvation bestowed on us, something that we cannot do for ourselves.

We praise you that when we were lost in sin, you sent your one and only son from heaven. He lived and died to give us salvation.

We pray that we can reach out to our area, to people who have no thought for you. May the church be a beacon in its area.

Where there are people who don’t want to talk about you, we pray that you will use us to tell them about a saviour who loves them. May they hear the Word and turn to it.

We pray for the members of our fe3llowship who are not well. May they know your healing presence

We pray for ourselves; may we be encouraged and brought closer to you. Build us up, be with us and encourage us.

In Jesus’ name. Amen

As Christmas approaches, we recognise that for many it can be a difficult time. The world seems to go mad! The costs of cards, and postage can be frightening, not to mention the costs of presents. People fight over food in the shops, and often buy far more than they need. Others stress about how many people they can get into their dining room, and seated round the table.

If people are asked about the real meaning of the season, often they don’t have a clue. It can be easy to adopt the approach of Scrooge (a fictional character, created by Charles Dickens) and say “Bah. Humbug.”

WE have the Scriptures, and we don’t need to be confused.

The passage, written by Paul, that we have read tells of one who is God. The message of Christmas is that Jesus is God and Lord. How can this be?

Firstly, Jesus abandoned a sovereign position. His essential nature is God. His being is God. He possesses the nature of God. Matthew, in his gospel uses the word “Emmanuel” of Jesus. This means God is with us. John refers to “The Word”, who is God. Paul refers to “The image of the invisible God”.

In Jesus we are being transformed into the image of Christ. If we look into the mirror in the morning, we can ask the question “am I more like Jesus that yesterday?” If the answer is “no”, in the morning, then there is something wrong with our testimony.

Secondly, Jesus became a servant. He “Veiled his glory”, he emptied himself of his privileges, he gave up his omniscience. He came to earth and became a slave not a king. As prophesied, he came “In the midst of you as one who serves.”

Thirdly he gave his life. He was made in the likeness of men (v7) and was found in the appearance of men (v7) He became a real man, 100% human.

He was not God pretending to be a man. It wasn’t obvious, there was no halo, no Aura, no stainless robe, he didn’t float above the ground. He looked, walked and talked like a man, because he was a man.

He experienced Hunger and thirst, work and fatigue, grief and anger. Nonetheless. John had to point out that he was a man.

He did many things, he performed miracles with food, healing and storms, but people still did not believe that he was God.

Fourthly, his selflessness. He had infinite capacity for self sacrifice, always putting God’s will before his own. He humbled himself unto death, and was obedient and died for our sins.

Finally, he ascended as a supreme prince. He was raised from death as a sign of God’s satisfaction with him. The name above all names. He was called Jesus, because he will save his people. Now he has done that, he is called Lord. In his name Every knee shall bow.

Jesus loved us. Jesus loves us.

God has give us the opportunity to confess that Jesus is God. May we remember this through the Christmas season, and take the opportunities to tell others.

Prayers:

Father, let your hope arise in our hearts! Lift our eyes up to see that you alone are where our hope comes from. Help us to shake off the anxiety, discouragements, and distractions that have filled this year.

May we pause to remember that we have hope in you.

You know the end of our stories, and we give thanks because you have promised that it will be a victorious ending. Give us the grace we need to wrap up this year joyfully.

We invite your Spirit into this beautiful Advent season. Renew our sense of holy anticipation! Let us be those who are waiting eagerly for Jesus to come again.

More than anything, we ask that you be glorified in this season of expectation. Amen.

Dear Heavenly Father, it’s the first Sunday in Advent, a season of anticipation and celebration—a time to reflect on every good thing you’ve already done for us in Jesus, and the glorious things yet to be realized.

You’ve made promises you alone can keep; you give peace that can be found nowhere else; you’ve pledged a hope you alone can fulfil.  We praise you; we bless you; we worship you. As Advent progresses, fill us to overflowing with gratitude, humility and joy.

Father, grant us intense longings—like the ones that filled the heart of the people before us. The promise of grace and the Spirit of Christ thrilled them, as they anticipated the era of the Messiah—the time when you would begin to make all things new through Jesus.

Lord Jesus, multiplied “glories” have already come to us, and many, many more will follow, all because of the sufferings you offered on our behalf—once and for all. Indeed, every promise God has made finds its “Yes!” in you. May this entire Advent season bring us back to your manger, back to your cross, back to your empty tomb; and moving forward with you into your new creation story.

Long expected Jesus, you have come and you are coming again. You are the desire of every nation; you are the joy of every longing heart. By your all sufficient merit, you have raised us and you will raise us yet. So we pray, with gratitude and anticipation, in your loving and triumphant name.

Amen

Prayers:

In the light of Isaiah’s vision of all nations streaming to the mountain of God let us dare to pray for the peace and justice that we long for:

Living God, on this first Sunday of Advent, we bring our longings to you. We are waiting. We are yearning. For we, and our world, are in need of healing.

So we pray that you may suddenly return and never, never more thy temples leave.

Prince of peace, we pray that swords will be beaten into ploughshares and spears into pruning hooks in Ukraine and in places of conflict around the world. We pray for all who are working for justice and reconciliation and all who are suffering as a result of war both directly and indirectly across our global village with pressures on food, fuel and places of safety.

May our country be a place of safety and flourishing for those who come in need sanctuary.

Creator of this amazing world in which we live, we pray in the wake of COP27. We ask that all the commitments that have been made should be kept urgently. And that governments and peoples across the globe should continually see the need for more, and quicker, responses to global warming, until the tide of action flows around the world.

Righteous one, as the World Cup puts the spotlight on Qatar and Iran, we pray for the protection of migrant workers around the world and for the breaking down of barriers between people so that all may be valued for who they are, wherever they are, for we are each your child, made in your image.

Loving God, As the weather gets colder we pray for all for whom the cost of living is a crisis. We rejoice that during the pandemic everyone was offered a place to stay, but we are concerned that many do not now have adequate housing. We hold up to you the parents of Awaab, whose mouldy accommodation contributed to his death and all those whose housing is simply not good enough. We remember too all those who are sleeping on the streets or sofa surfing, unable to find good accommodation.

Jesus our healer, as we hear of the pressures on the NHS, we thank you for the staff who are doing an amazing job in difficult circumstances. As we pray for the health of our own health system, we are conscious of the many millions across the world without access to good health care and of the places where healthcare is only available to a fortunate few. We hold up to you now all those places and people and pray for a just and equal sharing of all the things that earth affords. To a life of love in action help us rise and pledge our word.

We pause before you now in silence to hold up to you those who are particularly on our hearts today….

Amen.

“The People”

I never knew my grandpa. He died before I was born, but I heard the family stories about him, And feel that in a very real sense I did know him. He was very skilled with numbers. In the days of the old money in Britain, he could go down the three columns (pounds, shillings and pence), and arrive a total at the bottom, where most people would have to add up each column separately. I did not inherit this skill. It may have been due to this that he was a skilled dominoes player, it is said that he could infer what other players had in their hands because of what they played; then he would say what they ought to have played. I, on the other hand, built towers with dominoes. It was my ambition to build a tower with every domino in the set. Since I played with a “double 9” set that would have been a very high tower.

To build such a tower depends on the base. How well the early layers were placed. Not all the dominoes are the same, some are worn, sometimes the table is a bit wonky, But if the ambition is to be fulfilled, every domino must be used, even the damaged ones.

Some of you may be familiar with the “Harry Potter” books. In the first one, Harry, a boy wizard raised by non-magic people, has just met Ron, a member of a long established wizard family: “Are all your family wizards?” asked Harry, who found Ron just as interesting as Ron found him. “Er – yes, I think so,” said Ron. “I think Mum’s got a second cousin who’s an accountant, but we never talk about him.”

Many families have people that they do not talk about. Perhaps you have a relative that for some reason you don’t talk to. Perhaps you don’t even know why! I remember that when I was looking into our family tree, I asked Dad about a name I had encountered. “All I know is that she is called “X”, and she wasn’t talked about” was his reply. I never found out why.

Sometimes it is because of ill-health, or some disability, sometime because of behavioural difficulties, or sometimes because of a lifestyle choice, or mistake.

In Jesus’ genealogy, we don’t know much about most of the names mentioned. Some people are apparently given different names between Matthew and Luke! Those who we know things about are not all paragons of virtue!! Some would be people who were not talked about in family discussions.

But, they all played their part. They all have some responsibility for Jesus’ family.

They were all used by God in the fulfilment of his plan.

Round the edge of a standard U.K.£2-00 coin, there is an inscription, “Standing on the shoulders of giants”. According to Wikipedia, the phrase "standing on the shoulders of giants" is a metaphor which means "using the understanding gained by major thinkers who have gone before in order to make intellectual progress".It is a metaphor of dwarfs standing on the shoulders of giants (Latin: nanos gigantum humeris insidentes) and expresses the meaning of "discovering truth by building on previous discoveries".

This concept has been dated to the 12th century and, according to John of Salisbury, is attributed to Bernard of Chartres. But its most familiar and popular expression occurs in a 1675 letter by Isaac Newton: "if I have seen further [than others], it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.

Stephen Hawking stated: "Each generation stands on the shoulders of those who have gone before them, just as I did as a young PhD student in Cambridge, inspired by the work of Isaac Newton, James Clerk Maxwell and Albert Einstein."

Writing about the Talmud in the 12^th century.

Should Joshua the son of Nun endorse a mistaken position, I would reject it out of hand, I do not hesitate to express my opinion, regarding such matters in accordance with the modicum of intelligence allotted to me. I was never arrogant claiming "My Wisdom served me well". Instead I applied to myself the parable of the philosophers. For I heard the following from the philosophers, The wisest of the philosophers was asked: "We admit that our predecessors were wiser than we. At the same time we criticize their comments, often rejecting them and claiming that the truth rests with us. How is this possible?" The wise philosopher responded: "Who sees further a dwarf or a giant? Surely a giant for his eyes are situated at a higher level than those of the dwarf. But if the dwarf is placed on the shoulders of the giant who sees further? ... So too we are dwarfs astride the shoulders of giants. We master their wisdom and move beyond it. Due to their wisdom we grow wise and are able to say all that we say, but not because we are greater than they.

The visual image (from Bernard of Chartres) appears in the stained glass of the south transept of Chartres Cathedral. The tall windows under the rose window show the four major prophets of the Hebrew Bible (Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and Daniel) as gigantic figures, and the four New Testament evangelists (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) as ordinary-size people sitting on their shoulders. The evangelists, though smaller, "see more" than the huge prophets (since they saw the Messiah about whom the prophets spoke).

Some of you will remember the moon landings. This was the Apollo programme, culminating in the 6 landings between 1969 and 72.

Now we have the Artemis programme, land on moon, to build a base on the moon and in orbit around it.

Named Artemis because in mythology, she was the twin sister of Apollo!

How many people can currently say that they have landed on the moon? 12 walked, but Hundreds, or even thousands can say that they have landed!! They are all interdependent. Everyone of them played their part, from scientists, engineer and technicians, but also caterers and cleaners! They “Stood on each others’ shoulders."

Whose shoulders do we stand on? Who are responsible for us being here today?

We can all think of people who have made us the people that we are.

There is a story of God looking for a nation to be his people. He went round the different nations and asked them what they would do for him, if they were to be his chosen people. In their turn, the different nations said that they could; Write great literature; Build great monuments; Produce great works of art; Fight wars for him.

Eventually, he came upon a nomadic tribe in the middle east. They apologised that they were unable to do anything of this. They were a nomadic people, who had no use for great monuments, great literature, or great works of art. They had little ability to fight great battles, but they said that they would tell God’s stories to their children whilst they sat round their fires at night. “Its a deal” said God.

Today we celebrate the people of history, who told the stories. Who kept the faith. Who encouraged and inspired others (and us.) All of them. Not just the paragons. Not just the perfect. Not just the divine. All who played any part in God’s plan.

May we continue to follow in their footsteps.

Lord, we know that there are many places around the world that need our prayers. The war in the Ukraine drags on, and the suffering continues. We pray for those who suffer as a result, and for those who seek to alleviate the suffering. May there be a peaceful resolution to these problems, move in the hearts of the people who make decisions and impel them towards your will for the people and the nations.

We pray for Iran, which seems to be a troubled country at the moment. We hear reports of arrests and violence which we struggle to understand when we are not from there. Lord, we pray that you will mot6ivate people towards a just and fair resolution of the problems.

In the U.K. we are aware of many people having problems with the cost of living, and the costs of fuel. We pray that you will be with people in their difficulties, and that there may be more efforts to assist those who experience real trouble.

We are aware that many problems occur when people are not looking for you in their lives. May they become aware of your presence alongside them in their problems

We give thanks that Jesus is coming for His people, that He will rule permanently and sort out the problems which currently exist

Bless each one of us in the weeks and months ahead and may many be drawn to you.

Amen

The word grace has different meanings according to the circumstances. It can be the style and elegance of a dancer, a prayer before a meal to give thanks for the food and bless the diners, it can be the “presence” that some people can bring to events, perhaps the best example being the grace which the late Queen Elizabeth II brought to events, and it can mean an unmerited favour. It is this latter meaning which we are considering this week.

The reading from the second book of Samuel which we read above is one of the best examples of grace in the old testament. David, in an interlude between problems with his enemies asks “Is there anyone still left of the house of Saul to whom I can show kindness for Jonathan’s sake?” This would have been an unusual question for a king, the more normal approach would have been to ask whether there any surviving members of the previous dynasty in order to have them removed so that they did not pose a threat to the position.

David is pondering a promise made to Jonathan, he wants to bless someone, not in order to gain any advantage, nor to achieve anything, just to bless them.

He discovers that there is a son of Jonathan, but he is crippled. He does not stop to enquire about this, simply says “bring him in.”

When John the baptist heard of Jesus, he made inquiries, he was doubtful “Are you the one” he wanted to know. Jesus told him to look to the evidence (Matthew 11, verses 5-6) and be reassured. Mephibosheth must have had his doubts when he was summoned. His name means “Shame”. The name of his place of residence, Lo Debar, means “no pastureland” it would have been a poor place, unpleasant, and he would probably have been effectively hiding there, trying to avoid attention. He would have been fearful, possibly fearing for his life.

But David said “Do not fear”. Imagine the relief. Effectively he was adopted as a member of David’s family. He was to eat, not as a passing guest, but as an entitlement. He received a sceptre instead of the sword he expected.

He had been raised up, he was no longer a second class citizen.

The story of grace is not confined to thousands of years ago. It still goes on.

David restored Mephibosheth from a barren place to a place of plenty. He adopted him and he became a King’s son. We have been restored from a barren place to a place of plenty. We have become a King’s children. We are forgiven sinners.

We must offer thanks for the future that this brings. We are not worthy but we have been restored. If you have not received the gift of God’s grace, seek it. Iot is available to all who ask.
