Christ the King Sunday

John 18:33-37

Pastor David Wenzel

Throughout his ministry on earth Christ lovingly reminds us that his power and might extends far beyond the worldly experiences we endure. His eternal, all-knowing existence comes with a patience that we ourselves cannot fathom, but he nonetheless invites our trust in his will. God grant us the patience to trust our loving King!

25th Sunday after Pentecost

Mark 12:38-44

Pastor Robert Raasch

Jesus call attention to the most challenging aspect of giving: our mindset. Do we take time to examine ourselves and our hearts?

22nd Sunday after Pentecost

Isaiah 53:10-12

Pastor Joe Gawel

Too often in this world, we are preoccupied with our rights and privileges or how those are being infringed upon by others. Scripture today points clearly to the humility and sacrifice of our Savior Jesus as the very model of selflessness that exhibits a true and holy love. "On the contrary, we put up with anything rather than hinder the gospel of Christ."
