Anna the Witness

Pilot Knob Lutheran          Anna the Witness             12/31/2023

At the temple on the day of dedication was an elderly prophetess, Anna who prayed, fasted, and worshipped God for many years. She too was privileged to see the savior and hear the message of Simeon. Overjoyed she could not keep the message to herself, but like the shepherds forty days prior, she told everyone she could. Luke 2:38b Coming up to them (Mary & Joseph) at that very moment, she gave thanks to God and spoke about the child to all who were looking forward to the redemption of Jerusalem.During this post advent season, we need eyes like Simeon to see Jesus for who he is and how he is working around us and in us. We also need to be like Anna, even though she was in her 90’s told everyone that would listen about Jesus. May we keep gifts, parties and holiday food secondary and Jesus the primary focus.Pr. Bob Snitzer

This is the Day

Perspective can change everything, and it comes down to our choice. You’ve heard it before; We can look at a glass and see that it is either half full or half empty. One is a positive outlook and one is negative, and both perspectives are correct.

Psalm 118:24 “This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it.”

Last Sunday of the Church Year

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. John 14:27

My Peace I Give You

John 14:27 Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

Peace treaties here and there. There is so much conflict in our world, no wonder many live in fear, anxiety and with little hope of improvement. Peace is usually defined as the absence of conflict. Some want peace at any price which often leads to regret giving up what you would rather hold on to.
