  • Year B - Second Sunday after the Epiphany

    Hear the calling of Samuel to serve as God's prophet, along with the rebuke of Eli the priest, from 1 Samuel 3:1-10 (11-20); the profound idea that we are the body of Christ and what we do matters from 1 Corinthians 6:12-20; and the calling of Philip and Nathanael from John 1:43-51.

      • Year B - Second Sunday after Christmas

        This week we get the rest of Luke's account of the boy Jesus.  There truly isn't much in Scripture about the first 30ish years of His earthly life, so come hear what little we do know!  Our readings are from 1 Kings 3:4-15, Ephesians 1:3-14, and Luke 2:40-52.

        • Year B - First Sunday after Christmas

          In our readings from Isaiah 61:10-62:3, Galatians 4:4-7, and Luke 2:22-40, each text tells us a little more about who this Jesus is, and what He will do for His people, for all people.
