Illinois Valley News, Cave Junction, OR Wednesday, January 8, 2003 Page 6 Valley Free Evangelical January’s theme, “Epi- phany (the manifestation of what Jesus should mean to us) began with Luke 2:41-52. Mary and Joseph thought Jesus was lost, believing theirs was the normal parent- child relationship, not living in the light of the miracles and prophecies they knew regarding Jesus. When they found Him, Mary asked why He had caused them such anxiety. His answer implied they should not have been looking all over Jerusalem, but should have known He would have been in the temple; He called it “My Father’s house.” Even then Mary and Jo- seph did not understand, a kind of misunderstanding possible for all believers, when they do not attend to Jesus’ utterly unique role as God-man and Savior. Community Bible Enoch walked with God 300 years, and he pleased God by his faith. Moses also pleased God, and the Angel of the Lord appeared to him from a burning bush, and God spoke to Moses who replied, “Here I am,: Romans 12 tells us to present our bodies as a living sacrifice holy and pleasing to God. We must worship God in holiness and truth. In re- turn we will receive the fruits of the Holy Spirit., i.e., love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness and faith- fulness, gentleness and self control. Immanuel United Method- ist Pastor David Goodrich explained about the Gospel of John. The son of Zebedee and an apostle, is believed to have written the three epistles, John 1, 2, and 3. Revelation also has been attributed to him, but the dif- ference in style and tone casts doubts that he was the author. Its epistles are dated late 1st century, between 70 and 101. The theme stated in John 20:31, “written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God and that believing you may have life in his name.” Communion was served. St. Patrick of the Forest Catholic Church Webster offers more than one definition for “Epiphany,” for example, “ a p p e a r a n c e , ” “manifestation,” “coming to light.” It is appropriate to have a reading from Isaiah 60 on the Feast of Epiphany, “Rise up in splendor, Jerusalem! Your light has come, the glory of the Lord shines upon you.” The Gospel reading from Matthew 2 was about a light in the sky that the Magi fol- lowed: … “We saw His star at its rising and have come to do him Homage.” Also in Matthew 5, Jesus, in His ser- mon on the Mount said, “You are the light of the world...Your light must shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glo- rify your heavenly Father.” Each of us, by letting our light shine, can resolve in this new year to be a light to those with whom we live, work, play and pray with. Seventh-day Adventist Dr. Philip Yancey’s book, “Reaching for the In- visible God,” provided the inspiration for Pastor Harold Premdas’ sermon titled, “God is Neither Dead nor Sleep- ing.” Several Bible characters shared in the human experi- ence of feeling abandoned by God.” David who complained that his troubles were reach- ing up his neck (Psalm 69:1- 4); Elijah who reached the pits of discouragement and begged to die (I Kings 19:1- 4). Job, who cursed the day of his birth when his life was decimated by disastrous mis- fortunes (Job 3:1); Paul who prayed earnestly to be rid of the “thorn in his flesh,” only to hear God tell him, “My Grace is sufficient for you” (II Corinthians 12:7-9). Jesus promised in Luke 12:6,7 that the lowly sparrow does not fall to the ground in death without the knowledge of the Father. From Psalm 121 we receive the assurance, He who keeps you will not slumber. Good Shepherd Lutheran New Beginnings. That’s what we hear about with the start of a new year, but will it be different from last year? Will we be different because a date on the calendar changed, showing the year 2003? How can we change this pattern into a new beginning? First, by remembering that the Christ child was born for us, to give us a chance at a new beginning by believing in Him and changing our ways. Will we take advantage of that opportunity for a new beginning, or will we con- tinue as we have in the past, mired in our sinful ways?
