1. The Savior’s Sermon: Trust in God’s Strength
St. Peter Worship at Key to Life
Saturday, January 28th

2. Welcome to St. Peter!
During the Epiphany season Jesus reveals himself to be the Savior of all people through the worship of the Wise Men, his baptism in the Jordan River and by performing his miracles. It doesn’t take long for many to see Jesus’ Gospel as foolishness. Here, that ‘foolishness’ is our salvation for which we give thanks to God.

Seek where you may
To find a way
That leads to your salvation.
My heart is stilled;
On Christ I build--

His Word is sure;
His works endure,
He will o'erthrow
My ev'ry foe;
Through him I more than conquer.

To be your stay;
None can redeem his brother.
All helpers failed;
This man prevailed,

The Servant-Lord
Our life restored.
We're justified,
For he has died,
The guiltless for the guilty.

Who did your souls deliver;
Oh, seek him first,
All you who thirst
For grace that fails you never.

Seek him indeed;
To ev'ry heart
He will impart
His blessings without measure.

My heart's delight,
My crown most bright,
Jesus, you are forever.
Not wealth or pride
Or aught beside
Our bond of love shall sever.

Shall be my guide

And rejoice to know my love.”
