The Word This Sunday
February 17, 2019
Sixth Sunday After Epiphany
Blessings and curses abound on the sixth Sunday after Epiphany. We would do well to listen closely to whom the “blessed ares” and the “woe tos” are directed and to find our place in the crowd among those who desire to touch Jesus. The risen Christ stands among us in the mystery of the holy supper with an invitation to live in him and the power to heal us all.

Blessed are those who trust the LORD, they are like trees by water

They are like trees planted by streams of water. (Ps. 1:3) 

Christ has been raised, the first fruits of those who have died

Jesus speaks blessings on the poor and hungry; woes on the rich and full
Pastor Monica's 
60-Second Sermon
"Jesus turns the world upside-down, proclaiming the Day of the Lord when God will reward the poor, lift up the lowly and judge those who cling to the treasures and comforts of earthly life, instead of clinging to God’s Word and promises. As Christians, we wait for the Day of the Lord, even as we walk with one foot in our earthly existence and one in God’s Kingdom. It’s often so difficult to harmonize our Christian beliefs with this world's consumerism, but Jesus calls us to remember that by water and the Spirit, we  already live in the Kingdom of God, in this very moment. No matter how the world treats us or judges us, God has already claimed us as beloved, forgiven children whom he will never abandon. God's Kingdom exists right now within our hearts; we long for the day when Creation will be transformed by Christ’s return, when the Kingdom of God will bring peace, justice and forgiveness to all people. Trust in God, and God’s promises, and let this world spin as it will, because God is in control." ( Luke 6:17-26 )

Peace to all,   Pastor Monica
Online Lenten Bible Study
This year, Pastor Monica will hold a 7-week online Lenten Bible study which will take a deeper look at a few of the Psalms that we read during the season of Lent from Ash Wednesday through Wednesday of Holy Week. Every session examines a different Psalm, taken from the Revised Common Lectionary for the previous Sunday. We will also be using the ELCA Lenten Devotions booklet, “Lasting Hope,” a booklet of daily devotions written by a variety of ELCA pastors that serves as a guide in our Lenten journey.

Each study session includes a reading of the Psalm, then we’ll learn what Martin Luther had to say about it. Pastor Monica will offer a few of her own thoughts for your consideration, and at the end of every lesson, she'll pose one or two key questions for you to reflect on. You will be able to post your comments to the YouTube page for each lesson.
