Strengthening the Powerless

First Trinity E-News

Don't miss Katie's preaching debut this Sunday!  
Katie Jacob, our Ministry in Context student from Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago will be preaching this Sunday.  10:30 am, All Are Welcome!

In Isaiah it is the one God who sits above the earth and numbers the stars—it is that God who strengthens the powerless. So in Jesus' healing work we see the hand of the creator God, lifting up the sick woman to health and service (diakonia). Like Simon's mother-in-law, we are lifted up to health and diakonia. Following Jesus, we strengthen the powerless; like Jesus, we seek to renew our own strength in quiet times of prayer.

Readings: Isaiah 40:21-31, Psalm 147:1-11, 20c, 1 Corinthians 9:16-23, Mark 1:29-39
