A place to call home: St. Mark’s Lutheran Church & School
In the name of our Savior, Jesus Christ, welcome home. We especially welcome to our house of
worship our guests who have joined us today. We pray you will be strengthened by the good news
about God’s grace, love, and forgiveness to us through Jesus.
Worship Focus: It cannot happen, Christ taken out of Christmas … so we might say; however, in a
way it already has happened, has it not? While Christ will always remain the reason for Christmas, the
world has not always connected and celebrated Christ with Christmas; the danger is there for us who
know about the connection between Christ and Christmas. How can we avoid such a danger? What
can we do to point others in Christ’s direction at Christmas and beyond? Our worship tonight is one
of the ways to do just that.

Worship Focus: It is one thing to hold on to memories of the past, it is another to not let go of the
past. Looking back does not benefit a runner. Living in the past does not help the person who is in
need of healing. Jesus reminds us today to be forward looking people, and He tells us why this is
important. What do forward looking people do? The answer is right in front of this morning.

GLORIFY HIM ... GROW IN HIM ... GO WITH HIS GOSPEL
CELEBRATING THE GOODNESS OF GOD
1st Sunday in Advent
December 3, 2023
A place to call home: St. Mark’s Lutheran Church & School
In the name of our Savior, Jesus Christ, we welcome you to St. Mark’s. We especially welcome our guests who have joined us today.
We pray you will be strengthened by the good news about God’s grace, love and forgiveness through Jesus.
Worship Focus: Advent can be described as a Season full of anticipation. There is the anticipation of Christmas for secular, but above all, for spiritual reasons. There is the anticipation tied to the second emphasis of Advent and that has to do with the return of the Savior which will mark the end of time as we have come to know it. With such anticipation in mind and heart, we are gathered to worship the One who has put such anticipation in our lives.

Worship Focus: Victory! Who does not like to be on the winning side, whether it be as a competitor or as a spectator? Winning is not wrong or bad in and of itself, what some might do to win is another matter. In Christ Jesus, by grace through faith, we are on the winning team or side … and this does matter in our life now while living on earth and after we leave this earth. God be praised today and daily for the victory, and the confidence that comes with it.

3rd Sunday of End Time – Saints Triumphant
November 19, 2023
A place to call home: St. Mark’s Lutheran Church & School
In the name of our Savior, Jesus Christ, we welcome you to St. Mark’s. We especially welcome our guests who have joined us today.
We pray you will be strengthened by the good news about God’s grace, love and forgiveness through Jesus.
Worship Focus: Do you like to be the center of attention? If so, why is that? Are you one who gets jealous easily? Are you one who likes to talk up your accomplishments, or show off your knowledge? Each one of us has those tendencies, and so the Lord addresses these traits and more. He also points out what we do have going for us so we do not fall into the trap of bragging up ourselves as a way to feed our self-esteem; such leads to our acts of worship, including what we are doing here today.

2nd Sunday of End Times – Last Judgment
November 12, 2023
A place to call home: St. Mark’s Lutheran Church & School
In the name of our Savior, Jesus Christ, we welcome you to St. Mark’s. We especially welcome our guests who have joined us today.
We pray you will be strengthened by the good news about God’s grace, love and forgiveness through Jesus.
Worship Focus: What are some situations when it would not be good to fall asleep? There is while driving a vehicle or while operating power tools, and there is the matter related to faith in Jesus. While not the same kind of ‘sleep,’ falling asleep in faith leads to far greater consequences. As we can take steps to stay awake for day to day activities, so we are to continually take steps to spiritually stay awake … that is why we are here today.

End Time 1 - Reformation

A place to call home: St. Mark’s Lutheran Church & School
In the name of our Savior, Jesus Christ, we welcome you to St. Mark’s. We especially welcome our guests who have joined us today.
We pray you will be strengthened by the good news about God’s grace, love and forgiveness through Jesus.
Worship Focus: When have you had to stand up for yourself … for your faith in Jesus? It is not a pleasant experience to be called out for what we stand on ethically and Biblically. Such instances should not come as a surprise, maybe from whom they come might surprise us. Since the Lord is aware of this too, He has provided needed encouragement ahead of time and during those ‘back against the wall’ moments. Today’s Readings serve as part of that encouragement.

CELEBRATING THE GOODNESS OF GOD
Celebration of the Reformation
October 29, 2023
A place to call home: St. Mark’s Lutheran Church & School
In the name of our Savior, Jesus Christ, we welcome you to St. Mark’s. We especially welcome our guests who have joined us today.
We pray you will be strengthened by the good news about God’s grace, love and forgiveness through Jesus.
Worship Focus: Why do we want to keep celebrating the Reformation? People were blind to the
message of salvation ‘then’ just as they remain blind to it today. The problems in and out of the
church then are still evident today; and what was needed then to get on track is still needed today. At
the heart of the Reformation message then and now is the cross of Christ, without it we would still
be lost in our sins; with it we are reconciled … apart from any of our works. The need for this
message is just as vital today as it was then, that is why we want to keep celebrating through word
and song in gatherings like this the Reformation focus.
