Please join us virtually at Our Savior’s Lutheran Church at 9am (or whenever you are able) on Sunday, January 17, 2021, for the Second Sunday after Epiphany service as we worship our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!
All the baptized have a calling in God’s world. God calls not just pastors and deacons but also the youngest child, like Samuel. The story of the calling of Nathanael plays with the idea of place. Nathanael initially dismisses Jesus because he comes from Nazareth. But where we come from isn’t important; it’s where—or rather whom—we come to. Jesus refers to Jacob, who had a vision in a place he called “the house of God, and…the gate of heaven” (Gen. 28:17). Jesus says he himself is the place where Nathanael will meet God.
