How would react to somebody saying he knows a secret only you know? How would you react? Nathanael's response includes worship and witness: "You are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!". As in the case of Nathaniel Jesus not only knows where you are but what is going on in your life, and promises to you his forgiveness, mercy, and care.

What Baptism Reveals Today we celebrate the Baptism of Jesus. At Jesus’ Baptism, God the Father speaks from heaven, revealing Jesus to be His beloved Son, and the Holy Spirit descends in the form of a dove. All three persons of the Trinity make their presence known at Jesus’ Baptism. All three persons of the Trinity made their presence known at our Baptism as well as we are revealed to be God’s beloved children.

What’s Really Important in Life? The end of a calendar year and the beginning of a new set of months brings a special opportunity to look at our lives. What has been most memorable in our lives in the past weeks and... months? How might our priorities change in the next months? The Readings in today’s service are not often heard because the calendar does not always bring two Sundays after Christmas. Wisdom is waiting to be found by each of us here in this place today as we hear God’s Word and seek His kingdom in this New Year of grace. God’s wisdom is here to bless us each time we gather for worship!

Clean and New in Christ As the world rings in the New Year, there are many things to consider from 2020. We consider those who have died in the past year. We consider our own sins and failures. But we also consider all of the ways in which Jesus has continued to lead... and guide us. On this night, we remember the love of Christ that sustains us through each passing year, and we pray His blessing on another year of grace.

Today's message, folks. Have a blessed Sunday!
