Dec 18 – Fourth Sunday in Advent

The Divine Service for the Fourth Sunday in Advent (December 18, 2022)

“Preparing for Immanuel” – Matthew 1:18-25

The 8:00 service today will be a regular service where we will hear the Advent preparations God had with Joseph so that he would carry out God’s will for him to be the earthly father for Jesus.

The 10:15 service will be our Sunday School Christmas program featuring the Christmas story told by our Pre-K to 6th grade students. The recorded service is linked below. It is recommended that you turn on YouTube’s closed captioning to better capture what the children are saying. Sometimes, they speak too quickly for us to understand them (very normal with nervous children!). The captions are automatically generated, so the words are not always correct, but usually close enough to understand the message.

Dec 11 – Third Sunday in Advent

The Divine Service for the Third Sunday in Advent (December 11, 2022)

“Rejoicing in the Freedom of Christ” – Matthew 11:2-15

John the Baptist is in prison. He has prepared the way for Jesus. Yet, questions remain. “Are you the one? Or should we look for another?” We also find ourselves imprisoned by fears and doubts, asking the same questions of Jesus, especially when we are supposed to be happy as Christmas approaches. Jesus is the one who gives us full freedom from sin and our own prisons of doubt and despair. Rejoice! For Christ sets you free!
