We’re at a climax now in our worship. We’ve spent our time in lament. We’ve spent our time finding security and safety in the arms of our God. We’ve covered up our shame in the glory of Christ. We’ve thrown down the accusation of the Accuser by the blood of the Lamb. We are not victims anymore; we are victors. Yes, we are more than victors through Christ. And we have a glorious purpose for our lives. It may seem ordinary and simply. But it is not! The callings that God has given you, your vocations, are his extraordinary gift you. God thinks quite highly of you that he would impact your family, your church and your community through you. It’s time for us, the people of God, to rise like a phoenix and rise from the ashes.
This weekend, on the final weekend of this series, we will be looking at God’s direction for exiles. We are in an exile of sorts; yes, we are aliens and strangers in this world. This becomes clearer and clearer day by day. God’s advice was simple: Stop grumbling. Stop trying to get back to normal. And enjoy the life God has given you. #embracethemoment. More on that this weekend as we look at Jeremiah 29:4-9.
There are two worship opportunities this weekend:
Saturday at 4:30 pm (at Pine Ridge Campground near Sheboygan, WI).
Sunday at 9:30 am (at Mount Lebanon Lutheran Church).
We will also broadcast the service on Sunday morning at 9:30 am on our YouTube Channel.
Here are this week’s announcements as contained in “The Mount Weekly.”
