Sermons From Good Shepherd Lutheran Church In Raleigh, Nc

Gospel - Mark 1:4-11 A new hobby begins in a quiet moment of curiosity. A new relationship begins in the quiet, unspoken awareness of attraction. A new job begins with the quiet inkling that your old job isn’t quite the right fit anymore. A new life forms in secret, before mom and dad have any idea. Before the big leaps are taken and the big declarations are declared, the new beginning is there, changing everything… Today we are invited to consider: What new beginning, what new creation, is God’s Spirit bringing about in us, in our ordinary yet extraordinary lives? How will the epiphany of Christ – his manifestation – be made manifest in our gifts and time and intentions? How will this new year be new, for us? The world awaits the answer.
