Second Sunday of Advent
Wait for New Heavens and a New Earth
“Since all these things are thus to be dissolved, what sort of people ought you to be in lives of holiness and godliness, waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be set on fire and dissolved, and the heavenly bodies will melt as they burn! But according to his promise we are waiting for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells. Therefore, beloved, since you are waiting for these, be diligent to be found by him without spot or blemish, and at peace.” 2 Peter 3:11-14
Mid-Week Advent Worship Service

Ishmael: Our Advent expectation continues as we wait to celebrate the gift of God’s promised Son to be our Savior. Like us, Abraham struggled as God’s promise seemed less likely to come about, especially as the years passed into decades. As our faith may at times grow weak, we are tempted to take matters into our own hands, only to discover that our efforts fail. That is one reason we are here again this day, in order that God’s Word and Spirit strengthen our faith, even in the face of all doubts, to wait upon God’s sure and gracious promises. The true Son of Abraham is the One whom God has sent and designated, saying, “This is My beloved Son.” Jesus brings all of God’s promises together to make us sons and daughters of God. Believe it. Live it.
What is Outreach Ministry at ORLC?
Outreach Ministry at ORLC is our looking beyond ourselves to the people around us and sharing the love of Christ as we serve and connect with our community.
Daily Outreach Devotions
In helping you to connect with God every day and in every way, we’d love to provide you with encouragement and inspiration to grow closer to God daily by offering you prayers, messages, Psalms and Scripture.
Radio Broadcast Ministry
Through Faith alone, by Scripture alone, in Christ alone, by Grace alone!
The Bible tells us that we are saved by grace through faith in Christ Jesus and not by our own efforts or works (Ephesians 2:8-9). Grace Alone. Faith Alone.
As Christians saved by God’s Grace, we are compelled to share this Good News freely. At Our Redeemer Lutheran Church we are proclaiming the Gospel worldwide 24/7 over our internet radio station: LIVE365:Lutheran. People of all ages can hear the Word of God taught, preached, and sung in English—with plans to include other languages in the future. It is our prayer that many will come to faith, through the work of the Holy Spirit, by listening and accepting God’s marvelous Grace!

The Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod
Founded in 1847
The roots of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod trace back to 1847, when Saxon and other German immigrants established a new church body in America, seeking the freedom to practice and follow confessional Lutheranism.
Initial members, which included 12 pastors representing 14 congregations from Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Michigan, New York and Ohio, signed the church body’s constitution on April 26, 1847, at First Saint Paul Lutheran Church in Chicago, Ill.
Originally named The German Evangelical Lutheran Synod of Missouri, Ohio and Other States, the name was shortened to The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod in 1947 on the occasion of our 100th anniversary.
Over the years, hundreds of books chronicling the Synod’s rich history have been written. One of the most comprehensive is Zion on the Mississippi.
