Dec 4 – Second Sunday in Advent

The Divine Service for the Second Sunday in Advent (December 4, 2022).

“Preparing the Path of Christ” – Matthew 3:1-12

John the Baptist came to prepare the way for the Lord. It was his faithfulness to the Lord that allowed many to be ready for Jesus through his preaching of repentance, faith, and bearing fruit. Through the same preaching and teaching of God’s Word, the Church is also equipped with the Gospel to continue preparing the world for the second coming of Christ.

Nov 28 – First Sunday in Advent

The Divine Service for the First Sunday in Advent (November 28, 2021). The Church begins her liturgical new year today. It may seem strange to hear about Palm Sunday as the theme of this day, but it is by design to take us on an Advent journey to the cross with a flashback to the Babe of Bethlehem at Christmas. All this for us sinners to hear and believe that Jesus is the Savior and King of all!
