Fourth Sunday After Epiphany
Mark 1:21-22
“Jesus, The Authority”
The promise to “raise up a prophet like me” by Moses to the Israelites was a great understatement. Jesus speaks God’s Word with authority because Jesus is God Himself!
Third Sunday After Epiphany
Jonah 3:1-2
“God Wants Preachers – Not Editors”
It seems that in our world there is an abundance of so called preachers of the Word who edit it so it becomes “sweeter” to the listeners. Our God does not need editors of His Word. The Holy Spirit can work with the plain text of Scriptures.
Second Sunday After Epiphany
1 Samuel 3:10
Samuel, Andrew, Philip, Nathanael, you and I have one thing in common: We were all called by the Lord to be His children. He still calls others through us. Let us then live as children of the Light.
New Year’s Day
Luke 2:27-32
Even though Simeon said “my eyes have seen”, what he really meant was: “my soul has received” your salvation. We know that the Savior of the world had entered Simeon’s heart, and had redeemed Simeon’s soul. As for us who also saw Him, it behooves us to tell of Him to the World.
Christmas Day
1 John 3:1-6
Many marvelous things happen on Christmas. First, God becomes a child, so that we might become children of God. Secondly, God becomes like us, so that we might become like God. Finally, God becomes dirty, so that we might become pure. And, the best of all: this is for eternity!
