But one day atop a high mountain, Jesus gave his disciples a glimpse of his glory as the Son of God. After he came down from the mountain, Jesus went to Jerusalem to suffer and die. It is good for us to view Jesus in glory on the mountain. It prepares us for Lent, and it prepares us for life. May God bless your time of worship!]]></content:encoded>

That means that who we are influences what we do. When God called us to faith, he declared that we were something new: light, salt, his children.

Jesus is that promised light. He shines his light by preaching repentance and the good news of the kingdom. Our Savior is the Light of the world, and we reflect his light onto everyone around us.

Then Jesus appeared, the Lamb of God who would take away the sins of the world. He died as the substitute for sinful mankind.

God became a human being in a special way, becoming truly human but remaining God. God is still with us. We encounter him in a special way when we gather with two or three others in worship. He is so near to us that the thrill of anticipation is almost unbearable. Let it wash over you as you celebrate Christmas this week. May God bless your time of worship today!]]></content:encoded>

He pardons every sin. This is the entire reason Jesus came to earth. This was his mission&mdash;to give the gift of grace! When we receive that gift, our guilt melts. Left in its place is the joy of our salvation. May God bless your time of worship today!]]></content:encoded>

We also remember that sometimes in our work it is easy to compare ourselves to others. It is easy to become prideful, thinking highly of ourselves and poorly of others. Yet God wants us to have a humble attitude. Today God's Word reminds us that those who exalt themselves will be humbled. May God bless your time of worship!]]></content:encoded>

It is not a product of circumstance; it&rsquo;s a product of Easter. Our risen Savior gives us a joy that remains constant in the highest of life&rsquo;s highs and the lowest of life&rsquo;s lows. Because he lives, we have deep and lasting joy. May God bless your time of worship today!]]></content:encoded>

This week we see that Jesus asks for just one thing&mdash;love. He asks us, in every interaction we have with others, to demonstrate the same selfless love that he has shown to us. That is how we thank him. Like Christ, we strive to do everything for the benefit of others. Because he lives, we live lives of lavish love. May God bless your time of worship!]]></content:encoded>

Yet, those "Hosannas" didn't last. In the second half of our worship service, we read the passion history of our Savior from Luke's Gospel reminding us of what Jesus went through to save us. May God bless your time of worship!]]></content:encoded>

Those assumptions are false. God does not operate on the principle of merit but of grace. No one is beyond the reach of God&rsquo;s grace. When the weight of our sin makes us fearful of God&rsquo;s condemnation, he reveals his grace yet again. May God bless your time of worship today!]]></content:encoded>

He also sees every sin that we commit, even if it&rsquo;s only in our thoughts. He is always present. Yet, he is also always patient. God does not snap at us the second we turn from him. He gives us time to see the error of our ways. He works in us the very repentance he desires and saves us from the judgement that would otherwise be ours. May God bless your time of worship today!]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Today we celebrate the Festival of the Epiphany. Epiphany comes from a Greek word meaning &ldquo;reveal.&rdquo; When the Savior was born, he was first revealed to Israelites: the shepherds, Simeon, Anna. But today, we see the Lord miraculously guides foreigners across countless miles so the Savior could be revealed to them as well. How did the magi respond? &ldquo;They were overjoyed&rdquo; (Matthew 2:10). The Festival of Epiphany is sometimes known as &ldquo;The Gentiles&rsquo; Christmas.&rdquo; We Gentiles (non-Jews) rejoice in the good news that this Jewish baby is not just a gift for the Jews. He is a gift for all people&mdash;the Savior of the world. May God bless your worship today!]]></content:encoded>

He stood firm in the truth of the gospel, knowing it might cost him his life. But Luther knew that, thanks to Christ, he would live forever. So will we.

But the arsonist uses fire to destroy homes. Nuclear fission is a powerful force. The engineer harnesses it, producing abundant electricity. The tyrant harnesses it, threating others with nuclear weapons. What matters is the purpose of the one who has that power. Jesus has limitless power, and his ultimate purpose was to save us from sin and give us the gift of eternal life. May God bless your worship today!]]></content:encoded>

The Law was given so we could see God&rsquo;s heart and demonstrate how his heart has affected our own. The followership Christ seeks flows from hearts that have been radically transformed by God&rsquo;s law and gospel. This week we see that followers of Christ obey his law from the heart.

Jesus explains the greater need for spiritual food. He assures us that there is nothing we do to earn it. Our Father urges us to come to him for our daily bread, asking him to provide for our temporal needs. But may we hunger most for our greatest need: spiritual food that Christ freely gives. May God bless your worship today!]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[In the ancient Middle East, a shepherd needed certain skills to do his job well: knowledge of edible grasses, ability to trim hooves, capacity to fend off predators, competency to birth lambs. However, the greatest qualification of a shepherd is much simpler. A good shepherd needed to care for his sheep. Without that, none of those other skills would be fully utilized. Today, we ask the Spirit to see how Jesus models a compassionate shepherd&rsquo;s heart so that we might be filled with that same compassion. May God bless your worship today!]]></content:encoded>

In calling us to ministry, God isn&rsquo;t asking us to share our advice or our opinion or even our values. We are sharing God&rsquo;s own authoritative Word. Gospel ministry is conducted by believers but with God&rsquo;s own authority behind the effort. May God bless your worship today!]]></content:encoded>

Ministry comes from the Latin word for &ldquo;service.&rdquo; Ministry involves serving others with love, compassion, and empathy. As we minister to people with the Word of God, not everyone responds favorably. Yet, no matter how others respond, God calls us to minister to people with his Word!

The kingdom of God advances in ways that are imperceptible. Through something that seems insignificant to most&mdash;the gospel&mdash;the King of kings establishes his reign in human hearts. Even Jesus himself taught that the gospel seems unimpressive, for he often compared the gospel to a tiny seed. Yet within a seed is hidden life. As the seed of the gospel is planted, the largest of all kingdoms grows. May God bless your worship today!]]></content:encoded>

Look at the world&mdash;the brokenness&mdash;and it&rsquo;s easy to believe that the devil is winning. It all can lead us to despair. Yes, the devil and his allies are constantly doing their worst. Their work always brings pain. Yet, ultimately, Jesus always wins. And his victory is our victory. May God bless your time of worship today!]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[After a long day of work, you have earned the right to sit down in your favorite chair, put your feet up, and watch your favorite program. After a hard week on the job, you have earned the opportunity to relax a bit that weekend. This is how everyone thinks: rest is something you earn through hard work. Since that concept of rest being earned is so deeply engrained in us, to properly understand spiritual rest requires a top-down faith. True spiritual rest cannot be earned. In fact, the harder you try, the more restless and the less peaceful you become. Spiritual rest is a gift that God gives. May God bless your time of worship today!]]></content:encoded>

Jesus already did that on his cross. Our crosses are not redemptive, but they are constructive. The suffering believers face under the cross is a way Christ connects us tightly to himself with fire-tested faith. May God bless your time of worship today!]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Sabbath is a Hebrew word that means &ldquo;rest.&rdquo; In the Old Testament, God&rsquo;s people had particular times when God told them they had to rest (those rules no longer need to be followed because they were fulfilled in Jesus&mdash;Colossians 2:16). For the Christian, obeying the Third Commandment is not something we have to do. It&rsquo;s also not about simply doing nothing. It&rsquo;s a day to remember and enjoy Jesus&rsquo; wonderful works of healing that leads us to glorify God. May God bless your time of worship today!]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Stewardship is the lifelong management of all the resources God has given us. That includes a quickly-depleting resource called &ldquo;time.&rdquo; So much competes for it. Taking the time to manage the time we have left has huge implications on how we individually and as a church use it for Christ and each other. Today we consider how we use our time to make plans. May God bless your time of worship today!]]></content:encoded>

If we love anything or anyone more than God, even those are good gifts, those things become evil because we cannot properly show love for others if we do not properly love God first. The way we make use of our time shows what we truly prioritize in life. In Matthew 6:21 Jesus tells us, &ldquo;where your treasure is, there your heart will also be." God reminds us to prioritize our time always keeping him first. May God bless your time of worship today!]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Some churches teach that if one follows God, God responds by granting prosperity and peace. Today Jesus teaches that is nonsense. The Son of God tells us that if we are his disciples, if we are part of his Church, we will have to bear crosses. Believers will suffer in this world, oftentimes for no other reason than they are believers. We carry our crosses in gratitude for Jesus carrying his cross, one too heavy for us to bear because it was weighted down with our sin. We carry our crosses because we know that in those moments of struggle, we are forced to turn to Christ and rely on his strength. May God bless your worship today!]]></content:encoded>

As we celebrate that anniversary, we also thank God for many other milestones this year. We thank God for 145 years as a congregation...105 years worshipping in our current church building...and 138 years of Christian Education in our Lutheran Elementary School. May God bless your worship today!]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Wherever faith clings to the promises of God, doubt is always lingering in the back of our mind, constantly asking the serpent&rsquo;s garden question, &ldquo;Did God really say?&rdquo; How striking to think that one must have faith in God before it is even possible to doubt him! It is not uncommon that, in times of aversity, doubt rears its ugly head&mdash;doubts about God&rsquo;s care, God&rsquo;s promises, God&rsquo;s providence. In those times, the true answer to doubt is not found in some great miracle that removes adversity, but in the still small voice of our Savior God whispering to us in his Word. May God bless your worship today!]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[The hardest times to trust in God are the times we need him most. It&rsquo;s easy to trust God when your job is great, your health is fine, your relationships are strong, your family is well. It&rsquo;s easy to trust God when the sun is shining, but what happens when your life is suddenly overshadowed by dark days? If we look at the spiritual blessings God provides to us, how could we doubt that he will, at the right time, give us everything we truly need? The Christian trusts God to provide. May God bless your worship today!]]></content:encoded>

It had to give Jesus&rsquo; listeners pause. For what Jesus calls blessed, the world never would. The world praises the strong and the self-sufficient. Jesus calls blessed what others would see as weak. But, like any good preacher, Jesus is trying to drive home one crucial point. The weaker you are, the more ready you are to rely on God&rsquo;s strength. The more difficult your present circumstances, the likelier you are to yearn for future reward. May God bless your time in his Word!]]></content:encoded>

Mankind fell into sin. Sin brings an awful burden. And what can we do about any of it? Nothing, but God can, and God did. When you look into the manger, what do you see? A baby? Yes. But, more. That is Immanuel, &ldquo;God-with-us.&rdquo; The Son of God became Mary&rsquo;s son, so that he could do for us what we could not do for ourselves. May God bless your worship today!]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Humanity wants a made-to-order Messiah. We want the Savior we want. The Jews wanted a political Messiah who would remove Roman oppression and reestablish the kingdom of Israel. The generic Christian of today wants a Messiah who is a good teacher and an inspiration for brotherly love. Even faithful Christians face the temptation of a made-to-order Messiah. That is not the Messiah who came. Jesus defies the expectations of Israel, the world, and us. Jesus reminds us that &ldquo;blessed&rdquo; is a term that he defines, and it begins with not rejecting the Messiah because he fails to meet our expectations. May God bless your worship today!]]></content:encoded>

Either they will be judged righteous and experience the peace and joys of Paradise. Or they will be judged wicked and suffer unquenchable fire. John the Baptist's job was to point to the only way to prepare for a judgment, one where the stakes are that high. Repent! And look to the Lord Jesus.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Look up &ldquo;duty&rdquo; in the dictionary. It's defined as &ldquo;something that one is expected or required to do.&rdquo; Look up &ldquo;duty&rdquo; in a thesaurus. Some of its synonyms: chore, burden, obligation, work. &ldquo;Duty&rdquo; can carry some strong negative connotations. In the world, as you rise through the ranks, you are able to leave many duties behind. In Christ&rsquo;s kingdom it works just the opposite. An increase in faith does not lessen duties at all. It increases opportunities to serve God and others. May God bless your worship today!]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[God reminds us that he harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. So, Jesus encourages us to pray that God would send out workers into his harvest field. Michigan Lutheran Seminary (MLS) exists for that very purpose. The special purpose of MLS is to prepare high school students for the public ministry of the gospel, encouraging them to enroll in the WELS College of Ministry, Martin Luther College. We thank Pastor Luetzow (President of MLS) for sharing God's Word with us today. May God bless your worship!]]></content:encoded>

Because in spite of that knowledge, we still helplessly fall into the trap of pride. Rather than minimizing pride as a sin that is common or harmless, Jesus&rsquo; words today confront us with this hard truth. Those who exalt themselves will be humbled by God. Our exaltation doesn&rsquo;t need to be our responsibility because Jesus has already made it his. Those who humble themselves, Christ will exalt. May God bless your worship today!]]></content:encoded>

Today, someone asks Jesus, &ldquo;Lord, are only a few going to be saved?&rdquo; Jesus brushes these questions aside. Instead, he answers the question we should be asking. Rather than talking about how many will be saved, Jesus explains how to be among the saved. May God bless your worship today!]]></content:encoded>

For his Word, though it contains hard truth, gives eternal life. Today's hard truth is that God's Word does not bring peace, but rather God's Word divides. May God bless your time in his Word today!]]></content:encoded>

In answering that question, it is easy to focus on what we do in worship. &ldquo;I set aside time in my week to come to church. I am singing praise to God. I brought him an offering. Clearly, I am serving him.&rdquo; True enough. However, as God speaks this week, he clarifies our focus, letting us see that worship is primarily about him serving us. Through Word and sacrament, he delivers every spiritual gift he wants us to receive. May God bless your worship today!]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Today we celebrate both Palm Sunday and Passion Sunday. About 2000 years ago, the Sunday before Jesus went to the cross, he entered Jerusalem to the sounds of praise and adoration of the people there. Yet, those shouts of praise didn&rsquo;t last. Many of those same voices soon shouted for Jesus&rsquo; crucifixion. Today, we prepare ourselves by seeing not only the shouts of praise, but also the events of Jesus&rsquo; Passion (his suffering in our place). May God bless your worship today!]]></content:encoded>

Where we have failed to live up to God's commands, Jesus lived perfectly in our place.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[It does not surprise us that from the beginning of his ministry Jesus demonstrated his commitment to proclaiming good news of the kingdom of God, regardless of whether people rejected his message or embraced it. That was Christ's agenda, and he was committed to it. What is surprising is that, also from the beginning, Jesus demonstrated his plan to carry out this proclamation by sending others to speak on his behalf. More surprising is whom he sends, not angels, but mere human beings. In many cases, it was individuals who seemed to lack the qualifications to speak on Christ's behalf. Yet, Christ equipped and prepared them. Do you feel unqualified to tell others the good news? Then be assured, Jesus plans to use you exactly for that purpose. May God bless your worship today!]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[The Festival of the Epiphany celebrates the first time non-Jewish believers worshiped the newborn Savior. They were guided by a special light in the sky to a child who would be a light for all people. We live in a world where sin can divide people along so many lines: ethnicity and race, rich and poor, red states and blue states, etc. The only dividing line Jesus cares about is the one that separated sinful mankind from a holy God. By his death and resurrection, he removed that line and united all believers into one kingdom. For that, we offer him our finest gifts. May God bless your worship today!]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[The God-lived life is a life of showing God&rsquo;s love. Last week, we focused on letting that shine in serving others, doing things for them. In today&rsquo;s worship, the emphasis shifts a bit, and we look at the God-lived life as one that isn&rsquo;t only doing things for others but opening our lives to them. As we invite people into our lives and our homes, God gives us opportunities to show what we are all about and share who we are all about. Through hospitality, as messy and dangerous as it can be, relationships are built, and Jesus is shared. May God bless your worship today!]]></content:encoded>

Isaiah rightly trembled at God&rsquo;s holiness. But to Nicodemus Jesus reveals something even more profound about the Trinity. The Father sent the Son to die in our place; whoever trusts in the Son, by the new birth the Spirit gives, has life with the Trinity forever. May God bless your worship today!]]></content:encoded>

The day of Pentecost gave clear evidence of the power of the Spirit of Jesus to change things dramatically. Just as dead bones became living, breathing beings in the Ezekiel's vision, so people dead in sin become spiritually alive through the message the Holy Spirit has orchestrated and communicated through believers. May God bless your worship today!]]></content:encoded>
