Join our Sunday morning Worship as we learn about Jesus. How He reached out to people with problems just like ours. He healed many, taught by example and through story-telling. There were many who came to believe in Him then, and many who are still coming to believe in Him today.
The theme of this summer’s messages is: “Jesus’ Healing of the Most Unexpected People” and “Jesus’ Teaching on ‘What’s Important?’” Those “Unexpected People” were people who were a lot like us. They were people who didn’t believe in Him, doubters, seekers, those who had no religious background, those who seemed to everyone else to be beyond hope and beyond healing.
But Jesus in his compassion and mercy, cares for the widow whose son had died, and brings him back to life.
He heals a man possessed by demons, raises people from the dead, and gives forgiveness to those who seem to be too bad to be forgiven.
Throughout the summer we will learn how Jesus’ teaching focuses on “What’s Important?” We will hear and learn about the importance of prayer and why listening and waiting on God gives our lives a sense of direction we have never had before. We will learn about the importance of forgiving and being forgiven; of repenting and turning from our sins and turning towards God as we stay on the “narrow path” that leads us to a new life, a new freedom that only Jesus can give.
So won’t you “Come Along” and journey with us; the people of St. James Lutheran Church as we all learn together and come to believe? We are expecting you!
