Living Word Lutheran Church and School, The Woodlands

God is always faithful.

And so through Jesus' victory over sin, death and the devil, we needn't fear death or be slaves to sin. Moreover, through Jesus' suffering temptation (albeit sinless), He can identify with and help us when we're in the throes of temptation. (Hebrews 2:14-18)

Whenever and however we suffer in this life we are reminded of the suffering that Jesus went through to accomplish all that He did. ⁣

Our moments of pain unite us with a grander story, that though pain comes in the night - joy comes in the morning. That just as Jesus rose again after His sufferings - so will you.⁣

Whoever you are, take heart when you experience trials of all sorts - because your trials are woven into the fabric of God's purposes. Nothing is wasted in Him, and He is not ashamed to call you friend.

Do you ever find yourself struggling to feel like God's presence is near?⁣

Try putting a word of praise or thanksgiving on your lips and watch your perspective change.

On this fourth week of Advent hear the word of the messenger of God - do not be afraid. God is coming to be with you now and forever.⁣ "An angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife, for the child conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will bear a son, and you are to name him Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” All this took place to fulfill what had been spoken by the Lord through the prophet:⁣ “Look, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son,⁣ and they shall name him Emmanuel,”⁣ which means, “God is with us.”

Happy birthday Pastor Doug! Blessings on your new year!

Join us Christmas Eve night at either 4 or 6pm for a night of wonder and beauty as we celebrate the greatest gift ever given, Jesus Christ. There are two areas for family photos, one in the lobby next to the manger, and one in the Fellowship Hall, sitting in a sleigh amongst storybook characters. Both areas will serve hot wassail and cookies before each service. Join us for the most joyful night of the year as we experience the sights and sounds of Christmas, the birth of Jesus our Savior.

On this first Sunday of Advent, we lean into the hope we have in Jesus. Try for a moment to forget that we know the end of the story, and put yourself in the place of the people who were waiting on the prophesied promise.⁣

⁣

"For out of Zion shall go forth instruction,⁣

and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.⁣

He shall judge between the nations,⁣

and shall arbitrate for many peoples;⁣

they shall beat their swords into plowshares,⁣

and their spears into pruning hooks;⁣

nation shall not lift up sword against nation,⁣

neither shall they learn war anymore."

"If you give up your life for my sake and for the sake⁣⁣
of the Good News, you will save it." This, Jesus says,⁣⁣
is the way of the cross. Bible reading from the⁣⁣
Gospel of Mark.

Thank you, Jesus. I have ALL that I need.

It’s time to drag some of that stuff you’ve been carrying around and put it in the trash 🗑

Truth that lasts through the ages.

He sees you.⁣

Jesus said, "In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world” (John 16:33).

"For you will be a witness for him to everyone of what you have seen and heard" (Acts 22:15).

Our LORD is intimately acquainted with and involved in your life (Psalm 139).

God elevated him to the place of highest honor
and gave him the name above all other names,
that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
and every tongue declare that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father. (Philippians 2:9-11)
