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: Have you ever had that defeated feeling, life seems to keep delivering one knock
down punch after another? Such is real, however, the way to get back up again and keep moving
forward through this life is also real. Our Advent Moment for today reminds of the Source of our
ability to keep getting back up. This is also true when it comes to the Church. Defeat does not get
the last word; God does! God be praised for giving us this Advent moment.

Jesus Fills The Potholes
CELEBRATING THE LOVE OF GOD
Advent Midweek # 3
December 15, 2021
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: Jesus fills the potholes? Say what? Life is full of potholes, just like our roads. Jesus
has an eternal remedy for the potholes of life. The remedy has roots in Christmas, and the full
benefits of this remedy will be known when Jesus comes again at the end of the ages. We cannot
have heaven without the 'reason' for Christmas. Due to a variety of reasons, Christmas can be a
depressing time for people while for others it is a time of happiness and celebration; Jesus gets that.
This is why the Season of Advent is an important time of the year in our church. The Advent Season
connects Christmas and the End of the Ages as we hear again what Jesus has accomplished for us
and has waiting for us.

The Story of the Christmas Wreath
INTRODUCTION
The story of the Christmas Wreath is the theme for this Christmas worship service. Although
we are used to hanging wreaths on our front doors and in our churches, many people don’t
realize the wonderful significance that this decoration has to offer. This service considers
several wreaths that all present something meaningful in our Christmas holiday. Many of our
members are familiar with the Advent Wreath which provides a calendar to follow as we
approach Christmas. The Wreath of Thorns reminds us of the sacrifice of Jesus on the
cross. The Laurel Wreath was also mentioned in the Bible as a sign of victory in the Greek
games. Today it symbolizes the crown of victory that will be ours one day. Finally, we will look
at the Christmas Wreath and the significance of its color and shape.

Worship Focus: Which laundry detergent do you prefer to use and why that one? For some it
might be the scent, for others it might be that it does not have additives which can cause a rash; not
one detergent is for everybody. It is a different story when it comes to the ‘detergent’ we need for the
mess caused by sin; there is only one that will work, and this one does meet everyone’s needs … in
fact, it is the only one that can. Today’s ‘Advent Moment’ highlights what this ‘detergent’ is and how
it impacts our life for good.

FOCUS ON THE SCRIPTURES Based on Hebrews 4:14-16
“Jesus Fills The Potholes … By Giving Us Grace”
Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has ascended into heaven, Jesus the Son of
God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. 15 For we do not have a high priest who is unable
to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as
we are—yet he did not sin. 16 Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that
we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
