From Pr. Holm’s sermon:

Our reading is from Isaiah 7, v10-17
God with us.
As with Judah under the reign of Ahaz.
Our faith is not great,
We are truly sinners,
Our enemies are arrayed against us,
and we’re not sure we’re OK or
that we will last.
In the midst of this,
God is gracious toward us;
and He is with us.
He is with us
in our Baptism,
in the Lord’s Supper,
in the preaching of the Word.
Soli Deo Gloria.
