OPENING HYMN..................................... “On Eagles’ Wings” – CW 440
You who dwell in the shelter of the Lord,
Who abide in his shadow for life,
Say to the Lord: “My refuge,
My rock in whom I trust!”
Refrain:
And he will raise you up on eagles’ wings,
Bear you on the breath of dawn,
Make you to shine like the sun,
And hold you in the palm of his hand.
Snares of the fowler will never capture you,
And famine will bring you no fear;
Under his wings your refuge,
His faithfulness your shield.
Refrain:
For to his angels he’s given a command
To guard you in all of your ways;
Upon their hands they will bear you up,
Lest you dash your foot against a stone.
Refrain:
CONFESSION OF SINS
M:
In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.

C:
Brothers and sisters in Christ, in the book of Romans Paul says:
At just the right time, while we were still powerless, Christ died
for us.
God knows exactly what we need and when we need it.
Yet in our sinful weakness we find ourselves questioning God
and his slowness to come to our aid. Or lack of trust is sin and
yet another symptom of how corrupt and lost we are. It’s a
call to humble ourselves before Almighty God, confess our sins
to him, and seek his mercy. We confess:
Holy and merciful Father, I confess that I am by nature sinful
and that I have disobeyed you in my thoughts, words and
actions. I have done what is evil and failed to do what is
good. For this I deserve your punishment both now and in
eternity. But I am truly sorry for my sins, and trusting in my
Savior, Jesus Christ, I pray: Lord, have mercy on my a sinner.
Lord, Have Mercy (Kyrie)
M:
M:
God, our heavenly Father, has been merciful to us and has given
his only Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins. Therefore, as
a called servant of Christ and by his authority, I forgive you all
your sins in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the
Holy Spirit.
In the peace of forgiveness, let us praise the Lord.

RESPONSIVE HYMN ..................... “Alleluia! Let Praises Ring” – CW 241
vv. 1,4
Alleluia! Let praises ring!
To God the Father let us bring
Our songs of adoration.
To him through everlasting days
Be worship, honor, pow’r, and praise
Whose hand sustains creation.
Singing, Ringing:
Holy, holy, God is holy.
Spread the story
Of our God, the Lord of glory.
Alleluia! Let praises ring!
Unto our triune God we sing;
Blest be his name forever!
With angel hosts let us adore
And sing his praises more and more
For all his grace and favor.
Singing, Ringing:
Holy, holy, God is holy.
Spread the story
Of our God the Lord of glory!
PRAYER OF THE DAY
M:
The Lord be with you.
M:
Let us pray.
Father God, you are all-wise and all-loving. You see the present,
the past, and the future.
In every life situation you know what is best for us.

M:
C:
Keep us mindful of your love and goodness,
so that we put all our trust in you, even when we cannot see
clearly the path that lies before us.
M:
We pray in Jesus’ name. He lives and reigns with you and the
Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
Please be seated.
LESSON ...........................................................1 Kings 17:17-24 (p. 349)
God could have chosen to heal the widow’s son and spare him from death.
Instead, God chose to reveal his power to bring life out of death.
PSALM .............................................................................. Psalm 31 – CW p. 77
| 4 Page
In you, O LORD, I have taken refuge;
deliver me in your righteousness.
Be my rock of refuge,
a strong fortress to save me.
Into your hands I commit my spirit,
redeem me, O LORD, the God of truth.
Refrain:
My times are in your hands;
save me in your unfailing love.
How great is your goodness,
which you have stored up for those who fear you.
You heard my cry for mercy
when I called to you for help.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit,
As it was in the beginning,
is now, and will be forever. Amen.
Refrain:
GOSPEL LESSON .................................................Luke 8:40-56 (p. 1025)
Jesus’ miracles prove that God can provide for us even in
seemingly impossible situations.
APOSTLE’S CREED
I believe in God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven
and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, who was
conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died,
and was buried.
He descended into hell.
The third day he rose again from the dead.
He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand
of God the Father almighty.
| 5 Page
From there he will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy Christian Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen.
HYMN OF THE DAY ........... “The Will of God Is Always Best” – CW 435
The will of God is always best
And shall be done forever.
And they who trust in him are blest;
He will forsake them never.
He helps indeed In time of need;
He chastens with forebearing.
They who depend on God, their friend,
Shall not be left despairing.
God is my comfort and my trust,
My hope and life abiding,
And to his counsel, wise and just,
I yield, in him confiding.
The very hairs, His Word declares,
Upon my head he numbers.
By night and day God is my stay;
He never sleeps nor slumbers.
Lord, this I ask; oh, hear my plea—
Deny me not this favor;
When Satan sorely troubles me,
Then do not let me waver.
Keep watch and ward, O gracious Lord;
Fulfill your faithful saying;
All who believe By grace receive
An answer to their praying.
| 6 Page
When life’s brief course on earth is run
And I this world am leaving,
Grant me to say, “Your will be done,”
Your faithful Word believing.
My heav’nly Friend, I now commend
My soul into your keeping,
O’er sin and hell And death as well
Through you the vict’ry reaping.
SERMON .............................................................Luke 8:40-56 (p. 1025)

SERMON HYMN .............. “Savior, Again to Thy Dear Name” – CW 321
Savior, again to thy dear name we raise
With one accord our parting hymn of praise.
Once more we bless thee ere our worship cease,
Then, lowly bending, wait thy word of peace.
Grant us thy peace upon our homeward way;
With thee began, with thee shall end the day.
Guard thou the lips from sin, the hearts from shame,
That in this house have called upon thy name.
Grant us thy peace, Lord, through the coming night;
Turn thou for us its darkness into light.
From harm and danger keep thy people free,
For dark and light are both alike to thee.

Grant us thy peace throughout our earthly life,
Our balm in sorrow and our stay in strife.
Then, when thy voice shall bid our conflict cease,
Call us, O Lord, to thine eternal peace.

January Sermon
Series
Supernatural: Believe
the Unbelievable
Wherever Jesus traveled, he found himself surrounded by crowds of
needy people. The blind, the lame, the deaf, the chronically sick —
they were captivated by Jesus because he did what no one else could.
He provided a supernatural way out of their suffering and misery.
Jesus’ miracles are an enigma to many. How could anyone do the
extraordinary things Jesus did? Many today respond by denying that
Jesus performed miracles. They claim that his disciples fabricated the
miracle accounts to add credibility to their story.
Yet Jesus’ miracles are crucial to our understanding of who he is, and
what he continues to do for us every day. We run to Jesus because,
like the crowds that surrounded Jesus, we too are in desperate need.
And only Jesus offers a supernatural solution to our everyday
struggles.
January 17-19: Can’t Make Ends Meet?
In these troubled financial times we fear that we will not have what we
need for ourselves or our families. Yet the One who made us can do
amazing things as he provides for us.
January 24-26: Anxious?
We’ve all experienced an “impossible” situation in our lives. We
thought there was no solution, no hope. But is there really such a thing
as a desperate or impossible situation for the One who can do all
things?
