Revelation 7:13-17 
New International Version 
 
Then one of the elders asked me, “These in white robes—who are they, and where did they come from?” 
 
14 I answered, “Sir, you know.” 
 
And he said, “These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 15 Therefore, 
 
“they are before the throne of God 
 and serve him day and night in his temple; 
and he who sits on the throne 
 will shelter them with his presence. 
16 
‘Never again will they hunger; 
 never again will they thirst. 
The sun will not beat down on them,’ 
 nor any scorching heat. 
17 
For the Lamb at the center of the throne 
 will be their shepherd; 
‘he will lead them to springs of living water.’ 
 
 ‘And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.’”

New International Version (NIV) 
The Collection for the Lord’s People 
 
And now, brothers and sisters, we want you to know about the grace that God has given the Macedonian churches. 2 In the midst of a very severe trial, their overflowing joy and their extreme poverty welled up in rich generosity. 3 For I testify that they gave as much as they were able, and even beyond their ability. Entirely on their own, 4 they urgently pleaded with us for the privilege of sharing in this service to the Lord’s people. 5 And they exceeded our expectations: They gave themselves first of all to the Lord, and then by the will of God also to us. 6 So we urged Titus, just as he had earlier made a beginning, to bring also to completion this act of grace on your part. 7 But since you excel in everything—in faith, in speech, in knowledge, in complete earnestness and in the love we have kindled in you—see that you also excel in this grace of giving. 
 
8 I am not commanding you, but I want to test the sincerity of your love by comparing it with the earnestness of others. 9 For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you through his poverty might become rich. 
 
13 Our desire is not that others might be relieved while you are hard pressed, but that there might be equality. 14 At the present time your plenty will supply what they need, so that in turn their plenty will supply what you need. The goal is equality.

The Holy Spirit Comes at Pentecost 
 
When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. 2 Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. 4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them. 
 
 
5 Now there were staying in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven. 6 When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard their own language being spoken. 7 Utterly amazed, they asked: “Aren’t all these who are speaking Galileans? 8 Then how is it that each of us hears them in our native language? 9 Parthians, Medes and Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, 10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene; visitors from Rome 11 (both Jews and converts to Judaism); Cretans and Arabs—we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!”

For when I preach the gospel, I cannot boast, since I am compelled to preach. Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel! 17 If I preach voluntarily, I have a reward; if not voluntarily, I am simply discharging the trust committed to me. 18 What then is my reward? Just this: that in preaching the gospel I may offer it free of charge, and so not make full use of my rights as a preacher of the gospel.

To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), so as to win those under the law. 21 To those not having the law I became like one not having the law (though I am not free from God’s law but am under Christ’s law), so as to win those not having the law. 22 To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some. 23 I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings.

Now this was John’s testimony when the Jewish leaders in Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to ask him who he was. 20 He did not fail to confess, but confessed freely, “I am not the Messiah.” 
 
21 They asked him, “Then who are you? Are you Elijah?” 
 
He said, “I am not.” 
 
“Are you the Prophet?” 
 
He answered, “No.” 
 
22 Finally they said, “Who are you? Give us an answer to take back to those who sent us. What do you say about yourself?” 
 
23 John replied in the words of Isaiah the prophet, “I am the voice of one calling in the wilderness, ‘Make straight the way for the Lord.’” 
 
24 Now the Pharisees who had been sent 25 questioned him, “Why then do you baptize if you are not the Messiah, nor Elijah, nor the Prophet?” 
 
26 “I baptize with water,” John replied, “but among you stands one you do not know. 27 He is the one who comes after me, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie.” 
 
28 This all happened at Bethany on the other side of the Jordan, where John was baptizing.

Christmas Worship Schedule: It is time to once again be thinking about our Christmas worship of our Lord and King. What joyous days of celebration these are for God’s people as we ponder God’s love in the miracle of Jesus becoming flesh. We invite you and any guests you might want to invite and/or bring to join us for each of these special opportunities to gather before God and worship him for his goodness in sending Jesus to be our Savior. 
Our Christmas Worship is as follows: 
Christmas Eve Candlelight Service: Thursday, December 24, 6:30 PM 
Christmas Day Festival Service: Friday, December 25 10:00 AM 
 
 
Northdale Christian Academy (NCA) Christmas Programs: 
 
Our Northdale Christian Academy students will be sharing the joy of Christmas with two events this year. 
Grades 3-8 will have a children’s Christmas service on Thursday, December 17 at 6:30 PM. 
VPK through grade 2 will have a Christmas program on Friday, December 18 at 10:30 AM. 
 
 
Both events are capacity limited (two visitors per student) and will be live streamed on our YouTube channel. Please join us online as our NCA students share what they have learned. 
 
 
Pastor Matthew Guse: It was announced last week that Pastor Matthew Guse has accepted our call to serve as our next shepherd. He and his wife, Elizabeth, will be transitioning from Fond du Lac, WI to Northdale next month. We look forward to welcoming them into our Northdale family. More details will be shared regarding arrival and installation as they become available. 
 
Thanksgiving Food Drive 
Our annual Fall Food Drive has started and will continue through December 18. Every year at this time, we gather food to donate to Metropolitan Ministries to help feed those less fortunate than us. This is a great way for us to put our faith into action and to use what God has given us to his glory and to serve others. While we are not big enough here to host our own pantry, we collect food so that we can direct those who are needy to Metropolitan ministries to receive the physical help that they need. Please purchase and bring in non-perishable food items.

Daniel 6: 10-12,16-23 
New International Version (NIV) 
 
 
Now when Daniel learned that the decree had been published, he went home to his upstairs room where the windows opened toward Jerusalem. Three times a day he got down on his knees and prayed, giving thanks to his God, just as he had done before. 11 Then these men went as a group and found Daniel praying and asking God for help. 12 So they went to the king and spoke to him about his royal decree: “Did you not publish a decree that during the next thirty days anyone who prays to any god or human being except to you, Your Majesty, would be thrown into the lions’ den?” 
 
The king answered, “The decree stands—in accordance with the law of the Medes and Persians, which cannot be repealed.” 
 
16 So the king gave the order, and they brought Daniel and threw him into the lions’ den. The king said to Daniel, “May your God, whom you serve continually, rescue you!” 
 
17 A stone was brought and placed over the mouth of the den, and the king sealed it with his own signet ring and with the rings of his nobles, so that Daniel’s situation might not be changed. 18 Then the king returned to his palace and spent the night without eating and without any entertainment being brought to him. And he could not sleep. 
 
19 At the first light of dawn, the king got up and hurried to the lions’ den. 20 When he came near the den, he called to Daniel in an anguished voice, “Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God, whom you serve continually, been able to rescue you from the lions?” 
 
21 Daniel answered, “May the king live forever! 22 My God sent his angel, and he shut the mouths of the lions. They have not hurt me, because I was found innocent in his sight. Nor have I ever done any wrong before you, Your Majesty.” 
 
23 The king was overjoyed and gave orders to lift Daniel out of the den. And when Daniel was lifted from the den, no wound was found on him, because he had trusted in his God.

Habakkuk 1: 1-3; 2: 1-4 
New International Version (NIV) 
 
The prophecy that Habakkuk the prophet received. 
 
Habakkuk’s Complaint 
 
2 
How long, LORD, must I call for help, 
 but you do not listen? 
Or cry out to you, “Violence!” 
 but you do not save? 
3 
Why do you make me look at injustice? 
 Why do you tolerate wrongdoing? 
Destruction and violence are before me; 
 there is strife, and conflict abounds. 
 
I will stand at my watch 
 and station myself on the ramparts; 
I will look to see what he will say to me, 
 and what answer I am to give to this complaint. 
 
The LORD’s Answer 
 
2 Then the LORD replied: 
 
“Write down the revelation 
 and make it plain on tablets 
 so that a herald may run with it. 
3 
For the revelation awaits an appointed time; 
 it speaks of the end 
 and will not prove false. 
Though it linger, wait for it; 
 it will certainly come 
 and will not delay. 
 
4 
“See, the enemy is puffed up; 
 his desires are not upright— 
 but the righteous person will live by his faithfulness.

Ecclesiastes 1:2;2: 18-26 
New International Version (NIV) 
 
“Meaningless! Meaningless!” 
 says the Teacher. 
“Utterly meaningless! 
 Everything is meaningless.” 
 
I hated all the things I had toiled for under the sun, because I must leave them to the one who comes after me. 19 And who knows whether that person will be wise or foolish? Yet they will have control over all the fruit of my toil into which I have poured my effort and skill under the sun. This too is meaningless. 20 So my heart began to despair over all my toilsome labor under the sun. 21 For a person may labor with wisdom, knowledge and skill, and then they must leave all they own to another who has not toiled for it. This too is meaningless and a great misfortune. 22 What do people get for all the toil and anxious striving with which they labor under the sun? 23 All their days their work is grief and pain; even at night their minds do not rest. This too is meaningless. 
 
24 A person can do nothing better than to eat and drink and find satisfaction in their own toil. This too, I see, is from the hand of God, 25 for without him, who can eat or find enjoyment? 26 To the person who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness, but to the sinner he gives the task of gathering and storing up wealth to hand it over to the one who pleases God. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.

New International Version (NIV) 
 
The Great Multitude in White Robes 
 
After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. 10 And they cried out in a loud voice: 
 
“Salvation belongs to our God, 
who sits on the throne, 
and to the Lamb.” 
 
11 All the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures. They fell down on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, 12 saying: 
 
“Amen! 
Praise and glory 
and wisdom and thanks and honor 
and power and strength 
be to our God for ever and ever. 
Amen!” 
 
13 Then one of the elders asked me, “These in white robes—who are they, and where did they come from?” 
 
14 I answered, “Sir, you know.” 
 
And he said, “These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 15 Therefore, 
 
“they are before the throne of God 
 and serve him day and night in his temple; 
and he who sits on the throne 
 will shelter them with his presence. 
16 
‘Never again will they hunger; 
 never again will they thirst. 
The sun will not beat down on them,’ 
 nor any scorching heat. 
17 
For the Lamb at the center of the throne 
 will be their shepherd; 
‘he will lead them to springs of living water.’ 
 ‘And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.’”
