"Owning The Name" Isaiah 62:1-4 God made us individual persons. People classify us into groups, but God sees us as the unique and special person that He made. He offers us a new name, and Jesus (the name means "Savior") reveals God's mighty rescuing love. (Note: this is the one that was preached earlier that day, at St John.)

Pastor Fremer helps us understand what it means to be a creature, and addresses some "monstrous" lies on the subject, in "Creature Feature."

"Kingdom Come" Mark 9:1 - And he said to them, “Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God having come with power.” | Three of Jesus' followers get a brief look at Jesus in His glory, as He shone like the sun. But the power of the arrived kingdom of God was not measured in lumens.

"...And Submitted to Them" Luke 2:51 12 year old Jesus, come of age in Jewish reckoning, conducts Himself appropriately to His two roles, in accordance with His dual nature as the God-Man.
