Welcome to this very special worship service, celebrating the 2025–2026 Confirmation Class of Immanuel Lutheran Church. We give thanks for these young men and women who have grown in faith, knowledge, and trust in our Lord Jesus Christ. Through study, prayer, and the guidance of their pastors, families, and congregation, they now stand ready to publicly confess their faith and continue their journey as committed followers of Christ. Join us as we rejoice in God’s faithfulness and celebrate this awesome milestone.

The Lord is grieved by the spiritual blindness of His people, but He does not forsake them. Instead, He promises to turn the darkness before them into light, the rough places into level ground (Isaiah 42:16). The Lord does not give up on His servant, Israel, but sends another Servant who is the light of the world (John 9:5). Jesus’ light comes to us in His Word, His water, and His Supper. These are His means for opening our eyes to see and to live as children of light (Ephesians 5:8). Baptized into Christ, we look forward to the day when these words will come pass: “Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you” (Ephesians 5:14).

Join us for a special evening of worship and conversation as our Praise Band leads a powerful concert of music celebrating God’s love and faithfulness. Our Praise Band Leader and Pastors gather for an open and thoughtful discussion about God’s Truth and Grace, reflecting on how these gifts shape our faith and our daily lives. We hope this time of worship, music, and honest conversation encourages and strengthens you in your walk with Christ, as we prepare our hearts and minds for the birth of our Savior, in this Lenten season.

In worship today, we embrace the truth that our greed for the things of the earth died with Christ on the cross so that we might live to seek the treasures of God in heaven instead. Just as Jesus gave the woman at the well a well spring of living treasures in Him, she shared that treasure immediately with others. We too should share our eternal treasure of salvation with others rather than storing up our earthly treasures.

Lenten Worship - 7PM As we gather for this second week of Lent, we step into a sacred season of reflection, repentance, and renewal. May this season draw us nearer to the cross, deepen our faith, and prepare us to rejoice with greater wonder in the promise of resurrection.

“Born again” has become a catch phrase in our age. It is not merely that Jesus says one must be born again but born from above. This new birth happens not from human will or desire but solely from the love and act of God working by the Spirit. Baptismal water is the womb through which we are born again and born from above to the life that death cannot overcome and is eternal. As we make our way through Lent, we are constantly reminded of the truth of Luther’s explanation: we cannot by our own reason or strength believe in Christ, our Lord, or come to Him. The Spirit calls us to the font, gathers the baptized around His Word and Table, delivers us from the darkness of unbelief, and makes holy those who belong to the Lord. Thanks be to God!

Adam and Jesus are a study in contrasts. Where man in the Garden of Eden was weak before the devil’s wiles, Jesus returns the words of Satan with the Word of God. In so doing, He does not simply repeat words but expresses His trust and confidence in the Father. The Spirit led Jesus to the place of temptation knowing that Jesus knew what Adam forgot. Thanks be to God the error of Adam is not like the gift of God in Christ. What Adam lost, Christ won and not for Himself but for all who believe in Him. The family of sinners born with Adam’s sin is contrasted with the sons and daughters of righteousness born of Christ and His atoning work. Everyone suffers from Adam’s sin but only those who believe know the saving fruits of Christ’s holy obedience.
