The Epiphany of our Lord
January 7, 2024
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: Have you been in a situation when the ‘mercy rule’ has been applied, or you wished it would have been applied? Going through this life, we might be calling for the mercy rule to take effect. Thankfully God has had mercy on us, and He renews His mercy toward us daily; without it we would be in a whole heap of trouble and despair. Today we see what is at the core of His mercy and applying the mercy rule toward us.

Worship Focus: What do your clothes say about you? What do you think about others due to what they are wearing? Clothing can make a statement, that is leave an impression; and the same can be said when it comes to the clothing Christ has purchased for us to wear. What does this clothing look like? How often do we need to wear such? What impression do we give off? These questions and more, along with answers, is our focus today.

We pray you will be strengthened by the good news about God’s grace, love and forgiveness through Jesus.
Worship Focus: For a good number of people, when they walk into a dark room they reach for what? The light switch. Jesus Himself is light. As the light He exposes evil for what it is; as the light He also points out the way to be delivered from the evils of this world, so such will not follow us when we leave this earth. Christmas is a time for lights, and there is no better or brighter light to focus on than Jesus – the promised One. Merry Christmas thanks to Him who is the Light.

Worship Focus: It is easier to believe when we see what it is to believe, however, faith in God also calls for believing (trusting) even when we do not see what it is we are to believe (Heb 11). How can we have such faith? Such is not impossible with our God as the Holy Spirit works in us the trust we need through this life and for eternal life in heaven. God uses His ‘what seems to many just words on a page’ to change hearts which are dead to Him by nature to being alive in Him. God truly can, and does, make the impossible to us possible. And so, to God be the glory from our lips and through our lives!

THE ORDER OF WORSHIP
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: 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: Could you use some comforting news in the face of all the news talking about the tragedies taking place throughout the world? Could you use some good news, maybe because your own life is filled with news you would rather not want to hear? Whatever the reason for wanting to hear good news, God be praised He has such to give us … time and time again … as the good news He holds out to us never grows old to hear or runs out. We hear today why this is the case with God’s good news which is able to give us needed comfort and reason for joy in our life.

Focus for our Midweek Gatherings ---
Don’t Take Christ out of Christmas
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.
We say with the Psalmist, whether here on campus or viewing online, “I rejoiced with those who said to me,
‘Let us go to the house of the LORD’” (Psalm 122:1).
May the Lord continue to help us grow in His grace and knowledge as we hear, speak, and sing His
holy Word.
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.
