  • Ba P Tism O F O Ur Lord
    St. Timothy Lutheran Church Our Lord Our Baptism of If you are a visitor with us today, we welcome you in the name of Christ. We encourage our guests to join us in the communion meal because Jesus welcomes all to his table of grace, uniting and filling us for love and service. Christ is our host and our food, bearing to us God’s forgiveness and grace through this harvest of field and vineyard. The Baptism of Our Lord January 10, 2021 Our re-creation in baptism is an image of the Genesis creation, where the Spirit of God moved over the waters. Both Mark’s gospel and the story in Acts make clear that it is the Spirit’s move- ment that distinguishes Jesus’ baptism from John’s. The Spirit has come upon us as upon Jesus and the Ephesians, calling us God’s beloved children and setting us on Jesus’ mission to re- create the world in the image of God’s vision of justice and peace. GATHERING Prelude Welcome Gathering Litany The leader reads the portions in regular print and all respond with the parts in bold. In the beginning when God created the heavens and the earth, the earth was a formless void and darkness covered the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God swept over the face of the waters. Today the Spirit sweeps over us. And heaven declares, “You are my beloved one; with you I am well pleased.” Today the Uncreated One comes to the waters of the Jordan. And reconciles all creation to the Creator.

  • MAKING FRIENDS with the BIBLE #10 Are You a Paul Or a Timothy
    MAKING FRIENDS WITH THE BIBLE #10 Are You a Paul or a Timothy? By David Carlson One of the most dramatic events in the New Testament is the story of Paul’s conversion on the road to Damascus. Luke, the author of the Acts of the Apostles, gave three accounts of this life-changing moment in the life of Paul. Paul in his letter to the Galatians also described this event. To this day, reading about Paul’s conversion makes Christians pause in wonder at the mercy of God. Saul/Paul (the first being his Jewish name, the second being his Greek name) was one of the leaders of the persecution of the Christians in Jerusalem. He is listed as one of those present at the martyrdom of Saint Stephen, who was the first martyred Christian. After that, Paul takes the job of a type of religious bounty hunter, tracking down Christians and bringing them back for trial in Jerusalem. As someone studying to become a rabbi, Paul thought he was serving God by fighting against the new heretical movement, the Christians. It was on one of these missions to round up Christians that his life was abruptly changed. He was knocked from his horse and heard a voice saying, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?” Paul asked the identity of who is speaking to him and heard, “I am Jesus, Whom you are persecuting.” At this point, the world that Paul understood was changed. He realized that the Christians whom he was rounding up for trial were right about Jesus while he had been terribly wrong.
