Romans 8:26-27 The Voice Translation 
 
26A similar thing happens when we pray. We are weak and do not know how to pray, so the Spirit steps on and articulates prayers for us with groaning too profound for words. 27Don't you know that He who pursues and explores the human heart intimately knows the Spirit's mind because He pleads to God for His saints to align their lives with the will of God.

Pastor Nathan reads James 5:13-18 from The Message Translation during the virtual worship service at Trinity United Methodist Church in Big Stone Gap, Virginia. 
 
James 5:13-15 The Message Translation 
 
13-15Are you hurting? Pray. Do you feel great? Sing. Are you sick? Call the church leaders together to pray and anoint you with oil in the name of the Master. Believing-praying will heal you, and Jesus will put you on your feet. And if you've sinned, you'll be forgiven-healed inside and out. 
 
16-18Make this your common practice: Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you can live together whole and healed. The prayer of a person living right with Gog is something powerful to be reckoned with. Elijah, for instance, human just like us, prayed hard that it wouldn't rain, and it didn't-not a drop for three and a half years. Then he prayed that it would rain, and it did. The showers came and everything started growing again.

Pastor Nathan begins his new sermon series The Shape of Prayer on Epiphany Sunday with A Secret Prayer. Pastor Nathan emphasizes that prayer is not performance or pressure - it is relationship and presence with God. Prayer isn't about being good at it or impressing someone else or having perfect words, it is about showing up, reaching out, and being in relationship with our Heavenly Father in a raw, imperfect, broken way. 
 
The sermon is followed by presenting the Holy Sacraments for Holy Communion and the Apostles Creed.

1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2He was with God in the beginning. 3Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. 5The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. 
6There was a man sent from God whose name was John. 7He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe. 8He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light. 
9The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world. 10He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did no recognize him. 11He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. 12Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God - 13children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God. 14The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

Isaiah 9:2-7 
 
2The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of deep darkness a light has dawned. 3 You have enlarged the nation and increased their joy; they rejoice before you as people rejoice at the harvest, as warriors rejoice when dividing the plunder. 
 
4For as in the day of Midian's defeat, you have shattered the yoke that burdens them, the bar across their shoulders, the rod of their oppressor. 5Every warrior's boot used in battle and every garment rolled in blood will be destined for burning, will be fuel for the fire. 6For to us a child is born to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. 
 
7Of the greatness of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David's throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. The zeal of the Lord Almighty will accomplish this.
