Your Personal Grow-Pray-Study (GPS) Guide

Leader:

Is there anyone here today who feels that they are still trapped in the ancient bondage in Egypt? Is there anyone here who feels that they are a slave to sin, or guilt, or death? That the promise of a new ruler and a new law is only the promise of new oppression? Who fears that no one can guide him through the wilderness to the Promised Land of Freedom? Then we say to that person, “Brother, Sister, take heart! ‘When the fullness of time had come, God came, born of a woman, born under the law to redeem those
who are under the law.’ His name is Emmanuel. He is God with us and He is with you, too. So rejoice and sing:”

People:

O come, o come, Thou Lord of might,
Who to Thy tribes on Sinai’s height
In ancient times didst give the Law
In cloud and majesty and awe.
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel!
