Worship Booklet Sermon by Rev. Steve Seibert Jesus took with him Peter and John and James, and went up on the mountain to pray. Jesus prays at times of discernment and after times when he has been among the people, teaching and healing. Jesus prayed at his baptism; Jesus prayed after healing the man with leprosy and crowds came to him; Jesus prayed before feeding of the 5000; Jesus prayed before he asked the disciples who the people thought he was and when Peter then identified him as the Messiah; Jesus prayed before he told the disciples that he would be tortured and killed, and yet be raised on the third day, and what they could expect if they threw in with him, giving up their lives for his sake. Stating the obvious here, this is Jesus, the one who is both God and man, and for him, prayer is woven into his life. Video of service
Worship Booklet Sermon by Rev. Jerry LiaBraaten “But I say to you who are listening: Love your enemies; do good to those who hate you; 28 bless those who curse you; pray for those who mistreat you. 29 If anyone strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also, and from anyone who takes away your coat do not withhold even your shirt. 30 Give to everyone who asks of you, and if anyone takes away what is yours, do not ask for it back again. 31 Do to others as you would have them do to you.“If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. 33 If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same. 34 If you lend to those from whom you expect to receive payment, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to receive as much again. 35 Instead, love your enemies, do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return.[a] Your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High, for he himself is kind to the ungrateful and the wicked. 36 Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful. (Luke 6: 27-38) |
