Joy to the World

Remember when I told you that our pastor also leads worship at our church?
Yeah, he is very talented like that.
Well today Francesca Battistelli and her husband, Matt joined him in leading worship.
{Matt is her drummer who also happens to be Pastor Will's brother . . .}
Anyway, when we found out she was singing, we brought Payton into the service with us so she could hear her.  Chris took her up to the front row so she could have a better view.  =)
Payton L.O.V.E.S. "Francheco Batiskelly".

We also got to hear her sing "Joy to the World" which is on her new Christmas album!

It was the kick off to a new series called "Carrols".  This week was "Joy to the World" and each following week will be another Christmas carrol.  He taught out of Nehemiah (chapter 8) that when the people HEARD and UNDERSTOOD the Word of the Lord they were to rejoice because the "joy of the Lord is your strength".  When we understand what God has done for us, we should be overwhelmed with joy that we have no choice BUT to worship him!
When we are out and about this Christmas season, and hear a worship song (Christmas carrol), we need to worship him!
Read (or hear the song), Understand, Worship.

My all time favorite Christmas song is "Oh Holy Night".
Have you ever sat down and just listened to the lyrics?
Such a powerful song.
And to think, some people just sing along and miss the whole message.
