Worship
The Transfiguration is not an escape from the cross, but preparation for it. When Christ’s glory is revealed on the mountain, heaven itself speaks not of avoiding suffering, but of Jerusalem. And when terrified disciples fall to the ground, Jesus does not leave them there—He comes to them, touches them, and speaks the Gospel: “Rise, and have no fear.”
Romans 1:18–32 shows how suppressing the truth about God leads to exchanging His glory for idols—and how disordered worship results in disordered lives. Paul’s diagnosis explains cultural confusion while preparing us for the restoring exchange of the Gospel.
At Christmas, the familiar sights and sounds awaken a deep longing for home. That ache—what the ancients called nostos—is more than nostalgia. It is God-given, drawing us to Christ, who comes to dwell among us, gathers us into His Church, and promises to bring us home forever.
Slow down and rediscover the promise of Advent at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Tuscola. Join us Wednesdays at 6:00 p.m. for “Steadfast While We Wait,” a study in 2 Thessalonians exploring faith, discernment, and hope as we await Christ’s coming.
