Our scriptures for this second Sunday of Advent remind us that we can also prepare the way of the Lord like John the Baptist. We can seek repentance for the opportunities we have missed to share the Good News and know that with his love God will refine and work within us to help us take part in the great story of salvation. Come to worship, thanking Jesus for a purpose and joy far greater than our own imaginations or expectations.
Hide yourself in God, so when someone wants to find you they will have to go there first.
Our Gospel lesson today features a quiet meeting between Jesus and a Pharisee, Nicodemus. Jesus is willing to answer questions from anyone, even when they are given in the dark. Let's worship with the grateful trust of those who can approach our Lord no matter who or where we are.
Transfiguration Sunday reminds us that worship is a holy experience of meeting God. We are blessed by his willingness to let us see his face in Jesus. On one side, we might follow past laws and on the other, we might follow the mystery and wonder of God's future promises. Come to worship centered on Jesus, greater than what he gives us and more than we can imagine.
We are a Lutheran community dedicated to being God's hands in the world.
