Holy Communion:
We proclaim that the body and blood of Christ are present with the bread and wine in the Sacrament for the forgiveness of sins and recommitment of our lives. Those able to examine themselves,

are welcome to partake. Holy Communion is offered with both common and individual cups (8:30 AM).
If you desire the common cup, wait for the server to bring it. The common cup is filled with wine. The
individual cups also have wine, except for the inner ring of cups in the serving tray, which hold white

INTRODUCTION
In Deuteronomy God promises to raise up a prophet like Moses, who will speak for God; in Psalm
111 God shows the people the power of God's works. For the church these are ways of pointing to
the unique authority people sensed in Jesus' actions and words. We encounter that authority in
God's word, around which we gather, the word that trumps any lesser spirit that would claim power
over us, freeing us to follow Jesus.

GATHERING HYMN
“O Christ, the Healer, We Have Come”
[Tune: Puer nobis, LSB 344]
1 O Christ, the healer, we have come
to pray for health, to plead for friends.
How can we fail to be restored
when reached by love that never ends?
3 In conflicts that destroy our health
we recognize the world’s disease;
our common life declares our ills.
Is there no cure, O Christ, for these?
2 From ev’ry ailment flesh endures
our bodies clamor to be freed;
yet in our hearts we would confess
that wholeness is our deepest need.
4 Grant that we all, made on in faith,
in your community may find
the wholeness that, enriching us,
shall reach and prosper humankind.

Full of honor and majesty is his work,

He has gained renown by his wonderful deeds;
the LORD is gracious and merciful.
He provides food for those who fear him;
he is ever mindful of his covenant.
He has shown his people the power of his works,

The works of his hands are faithful and just;

P: Most merciful God,
C: we confess that we are captive to sin and cannot free ourselves. We have sinned
against you in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done and by what we have left
undone. We have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as
ourselves. For the sake of your Son, Jesus Christ, have mercy on us. Forgive us, renew
us, and lead us, so that we may delight in your will and walk in your ways, to the glory of
your holy name. Amen.
P: In the mercy of almighty God, Jesus Christ was given to die for us, and for his sake God
forgives us all our sins. As a called and ordained minister of the church of Christ, and by his
authority, I therefore declare to you the entire forgiveness of all your sins, in the name of the
Father, and of the + Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

and Lord.
C: Amen.

WORD
FIRST READING—Deuteronomy 18:15-20
(Please see the final page of this worship folder.)
Today's reading is part of a longer discourse in Deuteronomy, an updating of the law for the Israelite community as the people wait to enter the promised land. Here Moses assures the people that God will continue
to guide them through prophets who will proclaim the divine word.
After the reading:
A: The word of the Lord.
C: Thanks be to God.
SECOND READING—1 Corinthians 8:1-13
(Please see the final page of this worship folder.)
Paul is concerned about how some Corinthian Christians use their freedom in Christ as license to engage in
non-Christian behavior that sets a damaging example to other, impressionable, believers. Christians have a
responsibility to each other that their behavior does not cause a sister or brother to sin.
After the reading:
A: The word of the Lord.
C: Thanks be to God.
Stand
HOLY GOSPEL—Mark 1:21-28
(Please see the final page of this worship folder.)
The story has barely begun, and already the battle is joined. Jesus sides with humanity against every force
that would bring death and disease. These forces recognize Jesus and know what his power means for
them. This, however, is only the first fight. The war will go on much longer.
Before the reading:
P: The Holy Gospel according to St. Mark.
C: Glory to you, O Lord.
After the reading:
P: The Gospel of the Lord.
C: Praise to you, O Christ.

APOSTLES’ CREED
P: God has made us his people through our baptism into Christ. Living together in trust and
hope, we confess our faith.
C: I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
maker of heaven and earth.
And in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died and was buried.
He descended into hell.
The third day he rose again from the dead.
He ascended into heaven
and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.
From thence he will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy Christian Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life + everlasting. Amen.
PRAYERS OF INTERCESSION
P: Called to know, love, and follow you, O God, we pray for the church, the world, and all in
need.
After each petition:
P: Lord, in your mercy,
C: hear our prayer.
The prayers conclude:
P: Trusting your love and healing, O God, we commend to you all for whom we pray, knowing
you will hear and answer, through Christ our Lord.
C: Amen.

COMMEMORATIONS FOR THE WEEK
February 2—Presentation of Our Lord
Forty days after the birth of Christ we
mark the day Mary and Joseph presented
him in the temple in accordance with
Jewish law. There a prophetess named
Anna began to speak of the redemption of
Israel when she saw the young child.
Simeon also greeted Mary and Joseph.
He responded to the presence of the
consolation of Israel in this child with the
words of the Nunc dimittis. His song
described Jesus as a “light for the
Meeting of the Lord
nations.”
Orthodox from Belarus (1731)
Because of the link between Jesus as
the light for the nations, and because an old
reading for this festival contains a line from the prophet Zephaniah, “I will search
Jerusalem with candles,” the day is also known as Candlemas, a day when candles are
blessed for the coming year.
Ansgar
Etching by Hugo Hamilton (1830)
February 3—Ansgar, Bishop of Hamburg,
missionary to Denmark and Sweden, died 865
Ansgar was a monk who led a mission to Denmark and later to Sweden, where he built the first
church. His work ran into difficulties with the
rulers of the day, and he was forced to withdraw
into Germany, where he served as bishop in
Hamburg. Despite his difficulties in Sweden, he
persisted in his mission work and later helped
consecrate Gothbert as the first bishop of Sweden. Ansgar had a deep love for the poor. He
would wash their feet and serve them food
provided by the parish.
11
February 5—The Martyrs of Japan, died
1597
In the sixteenth century, Jesuit missionaries, followed by Franciscans, introduced
the Christian faith in Japan. But a promising
beginning to those missions—perhaps as
many as 300,000 Christians by the end of
the sixteenth century—met complications
from competition between the missionary
groups, political difficulty between Spain
and Portugal, and factions within the
government of Japan. Christianity was
suppressed. By 1630, Christianity was
driven underground.
Today we commemorate the first martyrs of Japan, twenty-six missionaries and converts,
who were killed by crucifixion. Two hundred and fifty years later, when Christian missionaries
returned to Japan, they found a community of Japanese Christians that had survived
underground.

FUNERAL PLANNING: In the days following a death, it can often be overwhelming for family
members to put together the details of a funeral. Whether it is following a long illness or a sur prising accident, your loved ones may wonder what your wishes really were. Have you identified
your wishes, written them down, and shared them with your family? To help you with this
decision-making, ILCUSC’s Health and Wellness Committee has printed a “Funeral Planning
Worksheet” for your use. You may find copies of this document on the table in the church’s
entryway.
CONTRIBUTIONS FOR NEW STAFF POSITION As you know, Immanuel has added a staff
position to the budget to assist with the education ministry, college ministry and the music
ministry. Please consider regular giving to fund that position. Donations can be made using the
designated gift envelopes or they may be included in your regular giving envelope. Please put
“new staff position” on the memo line on your check. Immanuel will need to have at least one
year of salary in the account before advertising for the position.
THE LUTHERAN HOUR Christ empowers his followers to
live lives that encourage, affirm, and serve others. Listen to “The
Lutheran Hour” next Sunday at 7:30 a.m. on radio station WIBW
580 AM (Topeka), at 8:00 a.m. on KCMO 710 AM (Mission), or
at 8:30 a.m. on KLWN 1320 AM (Lawrence), as Lutheran Hour Speaker Rev. Gregory Seltz
preaches on the topic, “The Gospel's Power for Gracious Living,” based on 1 Corinthians 9:1823. Or you can listen to “The Lutheran Hour” on streaming MP3 at http://www.lutheranhour.org/

STEWARDSHIP SENTENCE - Mark 1:22 “And they were astonished at his teaching, for he
taught them as one who had authority, and not as the scribes.” Authority is a word we are sometimes
afraid of and don’t like to hear. But that’s just our sinful flesh talking. Jesus’ authority is something
we need. We need him to show us what to believe and how to live —for Jesus’ authority is always
connected to his love.
STEPHEN MINISTERS ARE THERE TO CARE Are you going through a difficult
time—emotionally, spiritually, or relationally? Are you lonely, experiencing a crisis,
or simply stressed by everyday life? You don't have to suffer alone. Our Stephen
Ministers are trained caregivers, ready to listen, care for and encourage you, pray with
and for you, and provide confidential one-to-one Christian care to help you through
whatever it is that you are facing. To find out more, talk with Immanuel’s Stephen
Leader, Pastor Randy.
