Where Faith and Science Meet

Are faith and science mutually exclusive?  Or do they complement one another? Do the latest scientific discoveries about our universe, life and medicine threaten religious faith? Or confirm it?  Has science moved humanity beyond its need for religious faith, as some have proposed?  Or is faith more important now than ever?  Join Pastor Brian for worship January 11-February 8 as we explore the relationship between science and Christian faith.

Joy to the World!

“Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth; Break forth into joyous song and sing praises.… Make a joyful noise before the King, the Lord.” (Psalm 98:4 & 6)

“Joy to the world, the Lord is come! Let earth receive her King; 
Let every heart prepare him room, and heaven and nature sing, 

and heaven and nature sing, and heaven and heaven and nature sing. 

Joy to the world, the Savior reigns! Let all their songs employ; 

While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains repeat the sounding joy 

repeat the sounding joy repeat, repeat the sounding joy. 

No more let sins & sorrows grow, nor thorns infest the ground; 

He comes to make his blessings flow Far as the curse is found 

Far as the curse is found Far as, far as the curse is found 

He rules the world with truth & grace & makes the nations prove 

The glories of his righteousness, And wonders of his love, 

And wonders of his love, And wonders, wonders of his love.”

[–“Joy to the World,” by Isaac Watts, 1719] 

My hope and prayer is that the true joy of the Christ-child will be yours this Christmas, and that that joy will continue with you into the new year! Remember, God loves you and I do, too!
