Theme: “Joy To The World!”

Readings: 1 Samuel 2:18-20, 26; Colossians 3:12-17; Luke 2:41-52

As we gather this Sunday after Christmas, we ask, "How was your Christmas?" We reflect on how the holiday unfolded for each of us—our hosting, our travels, the time spent with family and friends, the food, and the moments of relaxation and joy. But perhaps more than anything, we're reflecting on the gift giving—did we get what we were hoping for, what we were searching for?

This year, as we gather in worship, let us ask ourselves: Are we still searching for a little more Christmas? As we enter a new year, are we still seeking more of what Jesus reveals to us, more of the peace, joy, and transformation He brings?

The twelve days of Christmas remind us that there’s still time to celebrate the birth of Jesus, the greatest gift ever given to the world.

In our scripture readings, we hear of young Jesus growing in wisdom and grace, and we are reminded that this journey of discovery and growth in Christ is ongoing. We too, like the family of Jesus, are called to grow in our faith and to celebrate the joy that He brings into the world and into our lives.

As we enter the new year, may you be blessed to find all that Jesus is revealing anew—transforming us, making us new, and filling us with His greatest joy.

Special Moments:

• Communion Blessing on Households: During this service, we will share a special communion blessing over households as we enter a new year, asking God to bless our homes with His presence and peace.

December 24, 2024 – Christmas Eve

Theme for the Night: “Wonders Of His Love!”

Readings: Luke 2:1-20

On this holy night, as we gather together, we ask ourselves: Why are you here tonight? What are you looking for? What are you hoping for this Christmas? And perhaps most importantly, Would you even know it if you found it?

Like the shepherds who were keeping watch over their flocks, we too are looking for something. They were filled with wonder and awe when they found the child in the manger, the Savior of the world. But the true wonder of that night, and of this season, is God’s deep love for us.

“Wonders Of His Love!”: This night is for children, yes. But not just for the little ones in age. This night is for the child of God in each of us. God delights in watching His children, of all ages, fill with anticipation, joy, and wonder. Even when we feel afraid, uncertain, or overwhelmed by the demands of life, God invites us to come with haste and trust that His love for us is more than we ever imagined.

The birth of Jesus is the ultimate gift, the truest wonder of His love. As we listen to the story of the first Christmas, may our hearts be filled with joy, gratitude, and wonder, knowing that God loves us with a love beyond measure.

Special Moments:

• As we hear the familiar story of Jesus' birth, we are reminded that God’s love, born that night in a humble manger, is the love that fills us all.

• Join us in lighting candles, singing familiar carols, and sharing the joy of Christ's birth with one another.

In Person: Join us at Lord of Life Lutheran Church in Lakeville, MN, for our Christmas Eve service, filled with music, candlelight, and reflection on God’s love.

As we approach Christmas Eve, the day is drawing near, and there may be a sense that not everything is finished or in place. The hustle and bustle of Advent may have left us with a gap between our hopes and what we’ve been able to accomplish. But there is a deeper truth in the promise of Advent: God’s grace fills the gap. Just as the angels brought hope and the star pointed the wise men to the Christ child, God’s grace breaks forth in unexpected ways.

Today, as we light the Star/Angel Candle, we reflect on the profound truth that God has sent Jesus, who rules the world with truth, grace, joy, hope, love, and light.

Join us this Sunday, November 10, 2024, as we begin our three-week Thanksgiving theme, “Giving Thanks For All Of God’s Glory And Grace!” This week’s message is centered on “Giving His All In Glory And Grace,” with a reading from Mark 12:38-44.

In this passage, we hear the story of a widow who, despite her poverty, gives all she has—two small coins—in the Temple. Jesus points to her offering as an example of true generosity, giving not from abundance but from a place of complete trust and devotion. This message invites us to reflect on how we, too, are called to give our all, inspired by the One who gives His all in glory and grace.

As we enter this Thanksgiving season, let us open our hearts in gratitude, inspired by God’s abundant grace and the examples of faithfulness we see in Scripture. Together, let us give thanks and celebrate the One who holds nothing back from us.

Sunday, October 20, 2024 – The Twenty-Second Sunday After Pentecost – “What Kind Of Glory And Grace Do You Want?”

In the Gospel of Mark, we encounter the disciples' bold request: "When you come into your glory, Jesus, will you grant one of us to sit at your right and one at your left?" Jesus responds with a reminder that we may not fully understand what we are asking. Yet, even when we don’t comprehend the scope of our questions, we are encouraged to keep asking, seeking, and trusting in the One who is our Everything.

This Sunday, let us reflect on what kind of glory and grace we desire, knowing that God’s answers are far greater than anything we could imagine. We are invited to believe anew in the glory and grace of The One who is forever faithful.

In this powerful passage from Mark, Jesus draws a clear line: "No one is good but God alone; sell what you own, and you will have treasure in heaven; how hard it is to enter the Kingdom of God." Jesus looks at the man with love and speaks the truth about the difficulty of prioritizing God’s Kingdom above all else. Yet, with God, all things are possible.
