SCRIPTURE READINGS
First Reading: Romans 10:8-17
Psalm: Psalm 80:1-7
Gospel: Mark 1:35-39
THEME FOR WORSHIP
God’s Jesus talks all about seeking us in our texts this week. He does not wait passively until we get up the gumption to ask Him for help. Nor does He act out of selfish gain; everything Jesus does, He does for us.
Praying, teaching, working, are all ordinary things Jesus did for us. In today’s ordinary things such as water, bread & wine, and His written words, Jesus seeks us out, looks for ways to help us, and ultimately saves us.

SCRIPTURE READINGS
First Reading: Hebrews 2:11-18
Psalm: Psalm 62:1-6
Gospel: Mark 1:9-13
THEME FOR WORSHIP
God’s character, His nature, is self-giving love. Everything Jesus does, He does “for us.” This phrase will be introduced this week in the series hymn. Pro nobis, or “for us,” appears again and again in the series hymn.
Jesus is baptized, fasts, is tempted, overcomes temptation, and, in doing so, begins His work of undoing the power of the devil (Mark 1:9–13). It is especially worth noting that because Jesus suffered when tempted, He can “help those who are being tempted” (Hebrews 2:18). He not only helps us in our weakness, but His love for us extends all the way into the grave.
SCRIPTURE READINGS
First Reading: Micah 5:2-5a
Psalm: Psalm 104:1-10, 33-35 Second Reading: Hebrews 1
THEME FOR WORSHIP
Why did Jesus have to come among us as a human being? Why didn’t He come as an angel or some other kind of being that is stronger and more powerful than us?
While angels may be a source of endless fascination to the Christian and to the world, they have no power to save us. In this week’s sermon, we will hear why taking on the “robe of human frame” was not only a good idea but also necessary for our salvation. Angels are wonderful, but they are not Jesus. He came as one of us so that He could redeem us as His own.
