SUMMARY:Worship Service
DESCRIPTION:Join us at 9:30 am on Sundays — We Make a Place for Everyone!\n\nConfessing Christ\, Formed in Faith\nIn late August\, students are preparing to go back to school\, and many churches gear up for a new year of Christian education. It is a good time to be reminded of the heart of Christian formation: conformation and transformation (Rom. 12:2). \nDisciples are formed over time—shaped by learning\, worship\, and all aspects of Christian life in community. As it was for Peter\, part of our formation is learning to confess Jesus as the Messiah\, not only with the right words but also through an experience of the living God in Christ. And along with Peter\, through such formation we also discover who we are in relation to God: After Peter “confesses” Jesus’ identity of Messiah\, Jesus “confesses” Peter’s identity by calling out his name and vocation. \nTraditionally\, Lutheran worship contains two confessions which keep forming us: a confession of sin and a confession of faith. In the first\, we acknowledge who we are as sinner and saint\, and in the second\, we acknowledge who God is in the mystery of the Trinity. Like Peter’s\, our own identity is revealed in those truths. And\, we might say\, we are continually formed by and through them. \nPeter’s confession is not a precondition for following Jesus; it comes in the middle of his journey of discipleship. Our formation too is a long process—lifelong\, in fact—which begins at baptism (and even before!) and is guided by those who travel before and with us. At this time of year\, as we explore our own formation\, identity\, and vocation as disciples of Jesus\, Isaiah entreats us\, “Look to the rock from which you were hewn” (51:1). Envisioning Peter the “rock” (Matt. 16:18)\, we might also consider how we are “chips off the old block” of our forebears in faith. \n\n~From Sundays & Seasons
