No Devotion, but consider this...
Sermon by Rev. Dr. Alfonso Espinosa • February 10, 2025
We are very thankful for Dr. Espinosa as he was our speaker for iLEAD last Saturday and was also our guest preacher at each service this weekend.
If you missed it, be sure to catch his sermon on our YouTube page. His series of books, “Faith That Sees through the Culture,” “Faith That Engages the Culture,” and his latest book, “Faith That Shines in the Culture,” are for purchase through CPH.org.
In lieu of a devotion, consider some of these questions as you listen to his sermon:
- How does the concept of living in the present moment challenge our tendency to dwell on the past or worry about the future in our spiritual lives?
- In what ways might the five C's of repentance (conviction, contrition, confession, consolation, and consecration) help us navigate our daily walk with God?
- As Lutherans, we begin each worship service with Confession and Absolution. How might regular confession and repentance transform our relationships with God and others?
- In what ways does the gospel message of complete forgiveness challenge our understanding of guilt and shame?
- In what ways can we encourage and support one another in living out Psalm 118:24, rejoicing in each day the Lord has made?

A Lifetime of Love
St. Peter’s Family, My wife Amy and I just wanted to take a moment to thank all of you for the outpouring of love you have shown us over the last several weeks. This past weekend, my oldest daughter Gwyn was married to our wonderful son-in-law Benjamin Corley, and we couldn’t be happier. But, what made it all the sweeter was seeing so many of your caring and supportive faces in the congregation. Similarly, as you know, just a few short weeks ago I lost my father, Nick Widener, and I cannot express to you the depth of my thankfulness for all of the condolences that you have given me and my family. Your cards are all sitting on the windowsill of my office. Without question St. Peter’s is a loving and caring congregation, and this is part of what makes you so great. Thank you for taking care of us, so that we can also take care of you. May God Bless you, Pastor Nate
Sermon by Pastor Adam McDowell
As we begin our new preschool year, we will need some supplies. It takes a lot of glue, markers and paint to keep preschoolers busy. Please consider taking a letter or two from our “Giving Tree”. Each letter is labeled with a needed supply item to be donated. Once you have shopped, you can return the item(s) to the tree. Thank you for your generosity as you bless our preschool. You are truly appreciated!
