Today we are challenged to see the bigger picture. In today's Gospel the apostle Peter was well-impressed with Jesus' power to heal the sick and His popularity was growing rapidly. But when Jesus seemed uninterested in capitalizing on that popularity but to continue on preaching elsewhere, Peter didn't understand. Jesus did not come only to heal or to make "a kingdom of this world" (John 18:36). He came to take our burdens and sins to the cross; to pay the price that delivers the whole world from sin and death. Likewise, the Prayer of the Church in the Divine Service is the place we see the bigger picture, praying not only for our own needs or only for those people we know, but for the whole Church, the whole world, for the enterprise of the entire kingdom of God. The goal of all our preaching and witness is nothing less than "to proclaim the Lord's death until He comes." For by the cross and resurrection of Jesus the grace of God appears to all.

Please join us Sunday, February 5, 2012, to worship our Lord and Savior. Pastor Urbach's message is titled "Don’t Miss the Exit”. The message is based on Romans 5:12-19. See Sunday's Bulletin for further information.
