Invocation - Asking the Lord to be with us

O Lord, we know that You are everywhere,
And nothing happens that You cannot see,
But even so, we pray that You will come
And join with us directly at this time.
We now will offer up our praise to You,
And we do much desire to have You here.
In Jesus' holy name we pray, Amen.

LUKE 2:1-20 (KJV)
1 And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a
decree from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be taxed.

2 (And this taxing was first made when Cyrenius was governor
of Syria.)

3 And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city.

4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of
Nazareth, into Judaea, unto the city of David, which is
called Bethlehem; (because he was of the house and lineage
of David:)

5 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with
child.

6 And so it was, that, while they were there, the days were
accomplished that she should be delivered.

7 And she brought forth her firstborn son, and wrapped him
in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger; because
there was no room for them in the inn.

8 And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in
the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.

9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the
glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were
sore afraid.

10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I
bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all
people.

11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a
Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.

12 And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe
wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.

13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the
heavenly host praising God, and saying,

14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will
toward men.

15 And it came to pass, as the angels were gone away from
them into heaven, the shepherds said one to another, Let
us now go even unto Bethlehem, and see this thing which is
come to pass, which the Lord hath made known unto us.

16 And they came with haste, and found Mary, and Joseph, and
the babe lying in a manger.

17 And when they had seen it, they made known abroad the
saying which was told them concerning this child.

18 And all they that heard it wondered at those things which
were told them by the shepherds.

19 But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her
heart.

20 And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God
for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was
told unto them. _____________________________________________________________

Benediction

I pray the Lord that He will lead your path
Away from the temptations all around.
I pray that when temptation lingers near,
The Lord will lead you not into its reach.
But if temptation grabs you as you pass,
I pray the Lord that you will struggle free.
In Jesus' holy name I pray, Amen.
