To all those accustomed with Lutheran worship, our services will be familiar and true to the
Word of God. To those unaccustomed with Lutheran worship, I would like to extend a
heartfelt greeting and invitation for you to come and experience the depth of devotion and
genuine sanctification that come through word and sacrament service.  We are a church
that extends its roots back to the original apostolic church and because of this, we have a
worship that is authentic and deep.  All people who have not experienced the richness and
joy of reliving  their baptismal grace in Holy absolution or have not experienced the "true
body and blood of our Lord in, with and under the bread and wine" in the sacrament of Holy
Communion should consider trying it with the same wonder and anticipation that I still do
after these many years.
          Although the altar is used in our services to its historic and spiritual necessity,
    we use the pulpit to an equal degree and preach the true Word of God as our Lord has
    chosen to come to us in Holy Scripture. We do not change or twist it's meaning to suit
    our own earthly purposes.

““Devotional for Saturday Compline Epiphany 3”
Psalm 20
Pastor Kyes

King David writing from his heart to the People Israel also reaches through the ages to speak here tonight
to us. He asks God, the God of Jacob, to protect you here tonight. He asks God, to support you and that
He looks upon you in favor and that He answer all that your heart desires.
But the heart of man and woman is fickle as Jesus tells us in Mark 7“What comes out of a person is what
defiles him. 21 For from within, out of the heart of man, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft,
murder, adultery, 22 coveting, wickedness, deceit, sensuality, envy, slander, pride, foolishness. 23 All
these evil things come from within, and they defile a person.” This being so from the lips of our Lord what
we ask of God, may not be what God wants of us in His holiness  and may not be the  his desire for the
focus of our lives. I remember talking to a man a few years back who admitted that every day he would
pray to God for a parking space, and he said God would invariably give him one. I don’t know if God was
answering his prayer for a parking space, but what if he couldn’t find a parking space? I wonder if he
would think that God was falling short of doing his part in giving him a stress free day. God wants for us to
have all good things but there is a danger in putting our trust in the transitory things of this world. That is
why King David proclaims “Some trust in Chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the
Lord our God, they collapse and fall, but we rise and stand upright.”
A Chariot is simply a ancient car, and a horse is nothing more than the engine. David might have said in
today’s world some trust in cars and engines or even parking spaces, but we trust in the name of the
Lord.
Although things may not always go as we would want for the world is fallen, God works all things for the
good, for as David tells us “so we may shout for joy over your salvation, and in the name of our God set
up our banners!
       If you look behind me this is what we have done, we have set up our banners in honor of our Lord
and God has given us help from our sanctuary. He has given us his word. He has given us his body and
blood, He has given us a baptism of regeneration of the soul, but mostly He has sent us the greatest gift
that could possibly be given, in the name of His only begotten Son Jesus, to pay the price for our sin on
the cross and to rise again giving us ever lasting life. Let us keep our trust in Him that our prayers are
heard and answered according to His will and grace knowing that “the Lord saves his anointed; he will
answer him from his holy heaven with the saving might of His right hand.
Amen
