Fairbanks Lutheran Church, Alaska

On this First Sunday of Christmas, explore the story of the boy Jesus in the temple and the transformative power of learning and teaching with Pastor Ollie Bergh. Through his commitment to his Father’s work, even as a child, Jesus shows us how renewed minds and hearts lead to new life. This episode delves into the hidden images of death and resurrection in the Gospel of Luke, the significance of being "lost and found," and the importance of lifelong learning in faith. As the church imitates Christ’s teaching, we are encouraged to be transformed by the renewing of our minds, discerning God’s will for us in every stage of life. Christ continues his Father’s work in us, forgiving, guiding, and making all things new. Join us as we reflect on how his commandments and teachings shape us into people of hope and renewal. Key Scripture: Romans 12:2, Luke 2:41-52 Begin this new year with hope and renewal in Christ, and may your journey of faith be enriched through his teaching and grace.
