THEME FOR WORSHIP
Have you ever looked over a crowd of people and wondered about their stories, about what brought them together? We might ask “Who are these people, and where did they come from?” In today’s First Reading, a heavenly elder asked this question about the crowd gathered around Jesus’ throne, praising Him day and night.
In His “Beatitudes” sermon, Jesus climbs a mountain and looks out at the gathered crowd. He sees them as lost sheep needing a Good Shepherd, and He teaches & gives them the way to eternal life. Today, your great encouragement is this: Jesus sees YOU in the crowd. Jesus loves and cares for YOU! Jesus makes YOU His saint!
SCRIPTURE READINGS
First Reading: Revelation 14:6-7
Psalm: Psalm 46
Epistle: Romans 3:19-28
Gospel: John 8:31–36
THEME FOR WORSHIP
The heart of Reformation Day is God’s great love for His Church, “…the city of God”. God tells us He “is in the midst of her”, preserving her through the proclamation of the Gospel, in spite of man’s sin and weakness.
Our text for today is Psalm 46, which recognizes the real problems we face, all caused by the world, our sinful nature and the devil. Even better, these words of God provide comfort and security to you & all believers living in the fortress of Jesus’ protection.
We’re reminded again today, that no matter how chaotic things may seem, God stands above all things, and He gives you a place of comfort & safety in the midst of evil. Our safety, your fortress is in Jesus!
