"Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, 'I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.'" - John 8:12
"You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.  Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven." - Matthew 5:14-16
"...because of the tender mercy of our God, whereby the sunrise shall visit us from on high to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace." - Luke 1:78-79
"In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it." - John 1:4-5
"Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations." - Jeremiah 1:5
"The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly." - John 10:10
"For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth." - Psalm 139:13-15
"Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life. For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his." - Romans 6:3-5
"For you, O Lord, are my hope, my trust, O Lord, from my youth. Upon you I have leaned from before my birth; you are he who took me from my mother's womb. My praise is continually of you." - Psalm 71:5-6
"And Peter said to them, 'Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself.'" - Acts 2:38-39
"Jesus answered, 'Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God.'" - John 3:5

Christian worship revolves around the gift of life Christian worship revolves around the gift of life. In worship God comes to us through His Word and His Sacraments, Baptism and Communion, to deliver to us forgiveness of sins, salvation, and life! Through Christ we no longer live to sin, but live for Him as He restores us and prepares us for eternal life.

While modern science cannot track precisely when a While modern science cannot track precisely when a baby’s heart begins beating in utero (sometime between 19 and 21 days), the heartbeat is clearly audible by four weeks. The heartbeat is the most universal sign of life. A baby’s heart pumps blood to every part of his body, nourishing organs and tissue. Our hearts began the same way, lightly beating in our mother’s womb as we began to develop. Our little heart was hard at work, giving life to our nascent body. ⁠
Jesus Christ, being fully man and fully God, also has a heart just like ours. His heart experienced everything our heart experiences. It beat in Mary’s womb as He developed over nine months. It beat as He grew in wisdom from an infant into an adult. It beat as He began His ministry and healed those sick in body and soul. It beat as He was hung upon the cross, and it stopped beating when He gave His life to redeem ours. But His heart began beating again as He was raised from the dead and glorified. Christ has sanctified and redeemed every stage of human life through His death and resurrection; even the tiniest babies in the womb are valuable because of Him. Our hearts will cease to beat one day, but we know that Christ will return, reunite our bodies to our souls, and make our hearts beat again.

After creating both male and female in the Garden After creating both male and female in the Garden of Eden, God blesses Adam and Eve and commands them to, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it…” (Genesis 1:28a). From the very beginning, God gives the gift of life. He breathed into Adam and Eve’s lungs at creation and then gave them the ability to create more life. The creation of new life is one of the most miraculous events in human existence. The moment a sperm cell and an egg cell meet and become one, a new human life is created. This human life is made in the image of God, has its own unique set of DNA, and is a gift of the Creator! No matter the age, location, ability, race, or gender, all human life is valuable and a product of God’s miraculous work. We praise God for His gift of life and His invitation to take part in the creation of human life.

Most couples seeking to adopt a child desire to ad Most couples seeking to adopt a child desire to adopt a baby. However, there are thousands of children in foster care who are ready and waiting to be adopted. These children have been removed from their birth parents for a variety of reasons ranging from substance abuse and parental incarceration to neglect and/or physical abuse. Children are either placed in foster care temporarily until their birth parents can take them back, or they remain in the foster care system permanently as they wait for a new forever family. Thousands of children in foster care need a Christian home where they can experience love, safety, and the truths of God’s Word. God desires that all children live in the safety of a loving family; there He works to sustain their bodies and minds and nurture their love for Him.
