The Lord is grieved by the spiritual blindness of His people, yet in mercy He does not forsake them. He restrains His anger and keeps His peace, until He opens their ears and eyes to hear and see Him. “For his righteousness’ sake,” He magnifies His Word and makes it glorious in the coming of Christ Jesus (Isaiah 42:21).

Jesus turns “the darkness before them into light” (Isaiah 42:16) because He is “the light of the world” (John 9:5). The incarnate Son of God does the works of His Father and displays the divine glory in His own flesh “while it is day,” until that night “when no one can work” (John 9:4). By the washing of water with His Word, He opens the eyes of the blind and grants rest to the weary.

Therefore, though “at one time you were darkness,” now “you are light in the Lord” (Ephesians 5:8). By our Baptism into Christ, we live in the eternal day of His resurrection, wherein He shines upon us. As often as we fall back into the darkness of sin, He calls us by the Gospel to “awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead” (Ephesians 5:14).

In the event of weather that makes it unsafe to drive to worship, the Elders will work with Pastor to determine if we need to cancel Sunday worship or other activities. Please tune to KMBC (local ABC affiliate channel 9) for closure notification.
We will also update our website and our Facebook page, and you may receive e-mail notification from the church office.
If possible, we will post a pre-recorded sermon message from Pastor Dunn on our Facebook page by our usual worship time.
