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

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. But there is another way that Jesus reveals himself as our Savior – by the powerful way he preached and proclaimed God’s Word to the people. This week we begin a month long series of sermons based on portions of Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount. As we listen anew to our Savior’s Sermon, may we be encouraged to trust in God’s Strength!
