Preached by Vicar Kyle Krueger "The Spirituality of God in Christ" Luke 4:31-44
The new creation begins where the old creation ceases- on the Sabbath day in the Fathers House. It is not the least bit ironic that the Epiphany season started with the young boy Jesus in His Fathers house. Now, over half way through the Epiphany season we see Jesus as a grown man about His Fathers business teaching and healing still in His Father’s house. This account brings up a question that you may not first see. That question is this, “What is Spirituality?” or “What does it mean to be spiritual?” or yet another way to put it, “What is it to be Spirit-filled?”

TEXT: LUKE 4:16-30
THE CUSTOMS THAT JESUS CONTINUES TODAY!
Preached by Rev. Kenneth W. Wieting
To the Church of God at Luther Memorial Chapel and University Student Center called as saints, Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
True Christianity is often misunderstood! A common misconception is that “you Christians think you’re better than everyone else.” That error extends itself to perceptions of why Christians go to weekly worship – as do-gooders - to put yourselves above others – to do one more thing to add to your spiritual resume.
The true realities are quite the opposite. Christians know they are full of sin – in daily, deep need of forgiveness - not better than others. They do not find comfort in comparing themselves with others nor do they attend weekly worship to put themselves above other people. Understanding their spiritual sickness and their essential poverty before God, Christians gather in the Divine Service to receive the medicine and healing and gifts that no one but the risen Christ can give them. |

Did you not know that I must be in my Father's house?
Luke 2:41-55
46 After three days they found him in the temple, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions. 47 And all who heard him were amazed at his understanding and his answers. 48 And when his parents [6] saw him, they were astonished. And his mother said to him, “Son, why have you treated us so? Behold, your father and I have been searching for you in great distress.” 49 And he said to them, “Why were you looking for me? Did you not know that I must be in my Father's house?” [7] 50 And they did not understand the saying that he spoke to them. 51 And he went down with them and came to Nazareth and was submissive to them. And his mother treasured up all these things in her heart.

Preached by Vicar Kyle Krueger "Sign, Sign everywhere a sign" John 2:1-11
“Everyone serves the good wine first, and when people have drunk freely, then the poor wine.”
It is often common party practice for a host to serve the higher quality Lakefront microbrewery beer first, and then the perhaps less vibrant and lower flavor filled beer such as Miller High life. People have plenty of good quality drinks at first, and then when their sense of taste has been dulled the cheaper product is brought out. People, then do not notice a distinction in taste and the host can save a few dollars by a smaller number of the expensive beverages being consumed.a

LIVING FROM THE RESOLVE OF HIM NAMED “JESUS”!
Preached by Rev. Kenneth W. Wieting
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, who gave Himself for our sins to deliver us from the present evil age…
Dear brothers and sisters in Christ: Have you made any New Year’s resolutions for 2010? The experts say that annual favorites of “losing weight” and “exercising more” have been surpassed at the top of this year’s resolution list by “saving more.”
The experts also say that only about 40% of resolutions last for a few months and less than 20% get to the second year. In other words, getting “psyched up” with good intentions at the start of a year doesn’t have a good track record. Willpower seldom gets past the rush of duties and the discouragement of desire that can come a few days into another year.
So, have you made any New Year’s resolutions for 2010? Do any resolutions from previous years come to mind that have made your life seem different and improved? Do any resolutions come to mind that you have made again and again that haven’t carried through for very long?
