Angels and stars. Messengers and signs to be interpreted. The birth of Jesus would have been nothing special without and announcement direct from God, coming from beyond this world.
At 8:30 and 11:00 this morning we'll gather to hear God's word for today. We may not have an "angel" preaching and we may not have a supernatural star shining, but we do have God's Word.
Lutherans have always said that God's written and preached word* is needed so we can know what is happening around us. We cannot figure things out by ourselves, not even today.
Come to worship and pray that the Lord and his Word will guide us during this next year.
