1 The Desert Voice Trinity Lutheran Church December 2017 Dear family and friends: Does the future seem menacing to you? I hear people remark, Things are so uncertain these days. And, Things aren t like they used to be. This is clearly a good time to remember God s promise to send His Son, our Savior, Jesus, as we focus on what this world is coming to. Jesus taught, Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away (Luke 21:33). He declared this concerning the last days of this world and the impending Judgment Day. We should know that while impending judgment is assured, Jesus remains true to His promise to save us by His grace through faith and deliver us to our eternal home with Him. Meanwhile, this world faces some troubling times ahead. And there will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth distress of nations in perplexity because of the roaring of the sea and the waves, with fear of what is coming on the world. For the powers of the heavens will be shaken (Luke 21:25-26). How should we live in view of these events? Jesus instructs us, Now when these things begin to take place, straighten up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near (Luke 21:28). Jesus first arrival among us at Christmas leading to His crucifixion and resurrection victory gives us the complete assurance that we are His children and that He will deliver us. Jesus promise to return in glory calls upon us to remain awake in faith. But watch yourselves lest your hearts be weighed down with dissipation and cares of this life, and that day come upon you suddenly like a trap. For it will come upon all who dwell on the face of the whole earth. (Luke 21:35).Jesus calls us to rejoice and rely fully on His enduring Word. But stay awake at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that are going to take place, and to stand before the Son of Man (Luke 21:36). Through His mighty Word and Sacraments of Baptism and Holy Communion, we are reassured of forgiveness, life and salvation. Although this present world is passing away, we trust in Christ s abiding Word. We need not fear or fret about the future.

The day after the attack, the United States declared war on Japan and so entered World War II. All of these events occurred on December 7th. It was on December 7th, 1941 that 353 Japanese bombers attacked the United States naval base at Pearl Harbor, destroying 19 ships, 188 aircraft and killing over 2,000 Americans. It was this act that drove the United States into World War II. This Month s Puzzle: Can you answer this Question?? According to Matthew 13. Who were Joses, Simon & Judas?

TLC Christmas Program December 11:00am This year s Children s Christmas Program, entitled Jesus the Greatest Gift, will be presented at the 11am worship service, Sunday, Dec. 10th. There will be a practice for all participants the day before Sat., Dec. 9th, from 9:30am to 10:30 am in the Sanctuary. In addition, all participants should arrive by 10:30 am the next day, Dec. 10th, to set up for the program. TLC is blessed with a great group of kids and their families. We thank you all for your continued prayers and support. Let s all have a wonderful Christmas! TLC Sunday Morning Adult Bible Class Noah: The Man, The Ark, The Flood The Bible s account of Noah, the ark, and the flood is legendary: To many people the Bible s account of Noah s flood sounds over the top almost mythical. But what if it is plausible? In this study we go to the Creation Museum in Petersburg, Kentucky, to interview scientists and theologians who discuss the Bible s account of Noah, the ark, and the flood. We also search for evidence of the biblical deluge in the records of ancient civilizations, on the earth s surface, and in the fossil record. The study began Nov 29, 2017 and continues this month in Pastor Smith s adult Bible 10am.

8 Page 8 The Desert Voice December 2017 Family and friends of Trinity Lutheran Christmas is coming. It is a joyous time of feasting. The Church feasts upon the Word of God in sermon, song, and sacrament. We hear the proclamation of the message of the angels: Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord (Luke 2:10 11). We mingle our voices with theirs as we sing, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased (Luke 2:14)! We receive the proclaimed Savior, Christ the Lord, not wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in manger, but wrapped in bread and wine placed into our mouths for the forgiveness of sins, life, and salvation. We feast in great joy indeed because of this great blessing from our Lord and God. God s people in ancient Israel also feasted with great joy. The Lord showered His abundant blessing on His people. And He commanded them to feast upon it (Deut. 16). The people were to go to the place appointed, where the Lord would make His name dwell, and give offerings, each man as he was able, according to the blessing of the Lord that He had given them (Deut. 16:10, 15, 17). And there the Lord would bless them with joy as they feasted upon what the Lord had provided. They ate of the choice parts of their offerings. They enjoyed the company of all the people of God as they together heard His promises of blessing, sang of His bountiful goodness, and partook of what He gave. We feast on the Word who became flesh to dwell among us, not just during Christmas, but throughout all the year. We feast not just on the salvation He has wrought for us in His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, but we feast also on all the temporal blessings that God gives out of His fatherly divine goodness and mercy, without any merit or worthiness in us. We enjoy the rich bounty that God provides, not only in Word and Sacrament, but also in house and home, property and income, family and friends. Let us then, as did our brothers in the faith from ancient Israel, give as we are able, according to the blessing of the Lord our God that He has given us. Let us, like them, give generously of the first fruits of our income, which He gives, so that all may know and enjoy the salvation He gives and the joy we have in the Savior born in the city of David, who is Christ the Lord. Your Stewardship Committee
