Sunday, January 17 Worship - Second Sunday after Epiphany with Pastor Michael Johnson

Sunday, January 17 Worship - Second Sunday after Epiphany with Pastor Michael Johnson at Christ the Lord Lutheran Church in Carefree, AZ. All the baptized have a calling in God’s world. God calls not just pastors and deacons but also the youngest child, like Samuel. The story of the calling of Nathanael plays with the idea of place. Nathanael initially dismisses Jesus because he comes from Nazareth. But where we come from isn’t important; it’s where—or rather whom—we come to. Jesus refers to Jacob, who had a vision in a place he called “the house of God, and . . . the gate of heaven” (Gen. 28:17). Jesus says he himself is the place where Nathanael will meet God. Special thank you to today's participants: Pastor Jen Smith, Mary Sue Hyatt, Jill Nelles-Voss, Lincoln Wright, Kirk Douglas, Jane Chavers, Dane Chavers, Jacob Soulliere, Joy Johnson, Bells of Joy, The Renaissance String Quartet, Larissa Johnson and MSW Ministries.
