Sunday, February 2 - 8:00 am Worship

Fourth Sunday After the Epiphany February 2, 2025 – 8:00 am Welcome to worship at Resurrection Lutheran Church! Today, we celebrate God’s work in our lives, receiving His Word and Sacraments that strengthens our relationship with Him and one another. By the blood of Christ, we are the household of God that He builds up by grace, through faith, and for service! Miracles always surprise. The miracles of Jesus surprise in extraordinary ways. Not only do they overthrow the apparent and expected "order" of things in this world. Whether healings, exorcisms, quieting of storms or resurrections of the dead, Jesus' miracles reveal something about what He would eventually accomplish through His cross and empty tomb. Most importantly, Jesus' miracles say something about what Jesus is still at work doing in and among His people--though we often can't see or perceive it. Jesus' whole ministry is one of goodness beyond compare, of extravagant mercy beyond what we deserve or even dare ask, and of grace hidden in ordinary things like words, water, bread, and wine. What miracle is Jesus at work to accomplish IN you? What miracle is Jesus at work to accomplish THROUGH you, today?
