The Sermon for Weds, Dec. 11 was based on the 5th verse of "O Come, O Come Emmanuel" (pictured above) along with God's Word in Revelation 3:7-13, Matthew 16:15-19, and John 20:19-23.

This is the historic "Antiphon" which is the basis of v. 5 of the hymn: "O Key of David and scepter of the house of Israel, You open and no one can close, You close and no on can open: Come and rescue the prisoners who are in darkness and the shadow of death."
