January 15 Worship: Second Sunday after Epiphany
Scriptures: Isaiah 49:1-7; Psalm 40:1-11; 1 Corinthians 1:1-9; John 1:29-42
Sermon: “Pursuing the Prophetic” John the Baptist’s story winds throughout the gospels, connected to Jesus almost from conception. John precedes him, identifies him, baptizes him, defers to him, and in death is affirmed by him as “the greatest of the prophets.” Yet John was a prophet in his own right, dying the martyr’s death because he would not be silent about the sins of the rich and famous. How do we identify the prophets of our day – and embrace the prophetic wisdom that God has given us.
January 22 Worship: Third Sunday After Epiphany Scriptures: Isaiah 9:1-4; Psalm 27:1,4-9; 1 Corinthians 1:10-18; Matthew 4:12-23
Sermon: “Community”. Every day, we find ourselves actively engaged in crowds. There are all kinds of crowds. There’ s the work crowd, the school crowd, the crowd associated with the activities of our children and there is the church crowd. What draws us together at church and makes relationships more meaningful? What is the meaning and purpose of our time together in worship?
