Worship Anew Worship Anew

Sermon Text: 1 John 5:1-8

All of us have been overwhelmed by life’s circumstances beyond our control. St. John reminds us that we have “the victory that has overcome the world – our faith.” Celebrate that victory with us on Worship Anew. 

Sermon Text: John 15:5

Jesus is the Vine, you are the branches, and the Father is the vinedresser. That is today’s picture of your union with Christ through faith from the Gospel according to St. John. Joined to Jesus in faith you are alive and fruitful, as living branches joined to a living vine. Apart from Jesus, you are dead and fruitless. 

Sermon Text: John 10: 14-15

Jesus Christ, our Good Shepherd, came to call us by name. And He came to lay down His life for the sheep. And He came to seek and save the lost. And through the voice of our Good Shepherd we are brought back to the Father. 

Sermon Text: Luke 24: 36-48

Because Jesus arose from the dead we have the greatest, the most important, assurances. These assurances give us tremendous peace. 

Sermon Text: 1 John 1:1-4

If the description of a favorite food makes your mouth water or if you feel someone else’s joy as if it is your own, then you have lived vicariously. In a much, much, much greater way, the Christian life is Living Vicariously through the perfect life, death, and resurrection of our beautiful Savior, Jesus Christ! 

Easter Sunday is so filled with joy! The sudden turn of events in the life of Jesus and His disciples. Even though He had told the disciples about it ahead of time, no one remembered this would be. Death is swallowed up in victory. In the resurrection of Jesus, death is undone. The plug is pulled on death. And this brings us great joy!
