Identity Revealed: The Lord of Light

Sunday, January 25, 2026

Watch the livestream beginning at 10:30 a.m. on Sunday. After the livestream is finished, the video will be available to watch at any time.

Welcome! Thank you for joining us for worship today. In our services we gather before our almighty God to receive his gifts and to offer him our worship and praise. Through God’s powerful Word and Sacraments he renews our faith and strengthens us to serve in joy.

The prophet Isaiah vividly described humanity as “people walking in darkness.” Enveloped by sin, suffering, and death, we find our minds and hearts clouded. But Isaiah foretold that a light would come. Jesus shines his light by preaching repentance and the good news of the kingdom. Our Savior is the Light of the world, and we reflect his light onto everyone around us.

First Reading:  Isaiah 8:19-9:4 (NIV)
Second Reading: 1 John 2:3-11 (NIV)
Gospel: Matthew 4:12-23 (NIV)
