Introduction
Recap of Series
3rd Sunday Prayer Emphasis - discernment of God’s will for our church family
Acknowledgement of sources if necessary
Come Emmanuel
Jesus is God with us
Jesus is God in us
We are created for Union with God
John 17:20–23 (NIV)
“My prayer is not for them alone.
I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you.
May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.
I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one—I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity.
Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me.
In complete union - unity - oneness with God - that then translates into unity with each other.

that mourns in lonely exile here
until the Son of God appear.

Come Wisdom
Isaiah says of Jesus: The Spirit of the Lord will rest on him— the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of might, the Spirit of the knowledge and fear of the Lord
The apostle Paul adds to this
Jesus is the Wisdom of God alive in us.
Isaiah tells us the Jesus is our Wonderful Counsel
How does Christ counsel us in our everyday life?
Primarily, through the His Word and the Holy Spirit.
We hear or read God’s Word, and the Holy Spirit, who is the life of Jesus in us locks in our mind and heart to what he wants to teach us our how he wants to guide us.
Our Jesus is a Wonderful Counselor.
He knows all, controls and sustains all, he is available to us 24/7.
James the brother of our Lord Jesus wrote these words,
God is for us, not against us.
He wants us to flourish.
He knows we need wisdom and he has give to us the life of Jesus in us to provide us with wisdom to love and obey him which always leads to our wellbeing.
Application:
In what area of your life do you need need the Wisdom of God today?
Where do you sense that our church family needs the Wisdom of God?
We can say to Jesus, Come Lord Jesus, be my wisdom in this area of my life.
Come Lord Jesus our wisdom in this are of our church family.

who ordered all things mightily;
to us the path of knowledge show
and teach us in its ways to go.
Refrain:
Rejoice!
Rejoice!
Immanuel
shall come to you, O Israel.
Come Mighty God
For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; … and his name shall be called … the mighty God.
(Isaiah 9:6)
Have your ever been afraid that Jesus, just might not come through for you?
Fear not, Jesus is our Might God.
Sometimes we hear it said, “God will not give us anything that we cannot handle.”
We trust that what people mean to say is, "God will not gives anything we cannot handle without Him."
We know through personal experience that God often, by design, gives us more than we can handle by ourselves.
Our loving Father spends our whole life teaching us to depend not upon our own strength, our own intellect, and our own resources.
He intentionally allows us to be in situations that require of us more than we have to give . . .
so we will turn to him to supply that which we are lacking.
John 15:5 (NIV)
“I am the vine; you are the branches.
If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.
Jesus said, “apart from me you can do nothing” - nothing that will ultimately bring glory to God and secure your wellbeing.
Apart from Jesus we can only do things for our own glory that will ultimately lead to our humiliation before God.
God saves us from ourselves by from time to time and sometimes for long periods of time giving us more than we can handle so we learn complete dependency on our Might God who lives in us.
It is interesting that our hymn directly associates Jesus with the appearance of Yahweh on Mount Sinai to Israel.
In Ex 19 we read:
Jesus is Yahweh come in flesh and blood to keep his covenant promise to save his people from their sins.
Remember, it was on the morning of the third day, Jesus with might and power arose for the dead!
Jesus is our Mighty God rising in triumph over sin, death, and hell.
We are held safely in His Almighty hands.
Application:
Are you in a situation today that is more than you can handle.
Your Mighty God, Jesus is there to give you everything that you are lacking.
We can say, Come Lord Jesus, be my might God in this area of my life.
