Second Sunday after the Epiphany

9:00 am Worship

God’s Word

Isaiah 62:1-5 The nations will see Your righteousness, and all kings Your Glory.

Psalm 128 “Blessed is everyone who fears the LORD.”

1 Corinthians 12:1-11 There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit.

John 2:1-11 Jesus’ miracle at the wedding of Cana.

Collect of the Day

Almighty and everlasting God, who governs all things in heaven and on earth, mercifully grant that as we commit our cares to You, we may trust in the blessing of Your presence and peace; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

Theme

Jesus manifests His glory at the wedding feast at Cana, changing ordinary water into exquisite wine. The Church treasures this divine action of Christ, remembering, believing, and receiving forgiveness in Jesus’ divide blood, in, under, and with ordinary wine. God in Christ binds Himself to His people, from desolate forsaken Israel to the holy church of today. She is the Bride, and He the Bridegroom, whose resolute faithfulness seals the marriage covenant with us forever.

Martin Luther’s Morning Prayer

I thank You, my heavenly Father, through Jesus Christ, Your dear Son, that You have kept me this night from all harm and danger; and I pray that You would keep me this day also from sin and every evil, that all my doings and life may please You. For into Your hands I commend myself, my body and soul, and all things. Let Your holy angel be with me, that the evil foe may have no power over me. Amen.

Martin Luther’s Evening Prayer

I thank You, my heavenly Father, through Jesus Christ, Your dear Son, that You have graciously kept me this day; and I pray that You would forgive me all my sins where I have done wrong, and graciously keep me this night. For into Your hands I commend myself, my body and soul, and all things. Let Your holy angel be with me, that the evil foe may have no power over me. Amen.
