THE SAVIOR’S SERMON

Let your light shine! Jesus tells us: You are…so be.

You are the light of the world, so be light for the earth. You are the salt of the earth, so be salt for it. Our calling as sons of God means our lives will reflect our new status, and the world around us will be blessed by us. The Church prays that God would help us believe and then do the things that are pleasing in his sight.

Pastoral Care & CounselingIf you need pastoral care or counseling, you can call or text Pastor Steve Sauer 920-737-5127.

If you would like a visit for spiritual care, don’t hesitate to contact Brad Mattes, our head elder.

Mommy & Me Resumes in February

Discover the Scripture-based, soul searching studies that will inspire you to trust in God and live out the Gospel. Each meditation is clearly written and easy to understand, with a special Scripture reading, devotion, and prayer for each day. Pick up yours on Sunday.

2023 Offering Envelopes and 2022 Giving Statements
It is our privilege to tell, like the shepherds, the good news that a Savior has been born for all people. We tell the good news as individuals, and we tell the good news by sending representatives (pastors and teachers) by giving of our offerings.

Our 2023 offering envelopes will be here in February. Please continue to use any remaining 2022 envelopes that you may have or use a plain envelope and write your 2022 envelope number or name on the front.

Sunday School Needs Your HelpAnyone interested in teaching or helping out with Sunday School, please contact Pauline Blades at 727-798-4465 or Pauline_Blades@Yahoo.com. We would like to continue to break up the classrooms into younger and older children to better teach the Word of God to them but need more teachers. Teachers will rotate so you would not be expected to teach every week and training/shadowing is available if it helps to make a decision.

MINISTRY SUNDAYThroughout history God has called people to serve him as his messengers to the world. All of us have been tasked with being his ambassadors in our lives, but he has also chosen some to be his public messengers – pastors and teachers to serve others with their lives.We are thankful for the messengers that God has placed in our lives. We also know that the fields are ripe and the workers few. May we encourage others – and maybe even ourselves – to serve the Lord full time.Today, we hear the Lord calling us to committed service.

JESUS APPEARS AS THE LAMB OF GOD

For centuries the priests of Israel offered sacrifices to God for sin. Over and over blood flowed, testifying that the penalty of sin was death. But over and over a substitute stood in the place of the sinner. Countless animals died under the priestly knife as generations of the faithful brought lamb after lamb to the temple.

This week we see the Lamb that God himself was bringing to the temple. This was the Lamb that God himself would sacrifice. In the great act that would remove our condemnation, the Messiah took our sins, stood in our place, and died as the substitute for sinful mankind. This was the fulfillment of the entire sacrificial system. Every lamb and goat and bird pointed to God’s Lamb who takes away our sin.

The heart that sees his Savior willingly becoming the Lamb cannot help but take this news of salvation to the ends of the earth.

Members Please plan on staying after the service to attend the Call meeting for our new Pastor.

January 6, 2023

Jesus is a King unlike any other ruler who has ever lived. For he is infinitely greater than all other kings, while simultaneously being infinitely humbler. This King is willing to trade his golden crown for one made of thorns. This King comes not demanding our service but to serve us. You look at how good, how loving is this King, and you ask that question upon which eternity hinges. “Who is this?” As we march through this new Church Year, the answer becomes crystal clear. This King is the Savior of the nations. God bless your worship today.

Vacancy Pastor Stephen SauerPastor Stephen Sauer and his wife Tina, from Green Bay, are settled in and he will be our Vacancy Pastor until after Easter or when our Call is answered. The heat in the church has been repaired, so please plan to join us and warm your soul with fellowship and the glory of God’s Grace.
