4th Sunday after Pentecost

Ephesians 6:1-4

Pastor Joe Gawel

God displays the most honorable, loving form of parenting when the grace pours out for our salvation in spite of our sin. Mercy, patience, and compassion are the manifestations of his holy love for his imperfect children.

3rd Sunday after Pentecost

1 Timothy 6:11-16

Pastor Tim Priewe

Our time on earth is guaranteed to be filled with struggle, and Paul encourages us in his letters to Timothy. However, our struggle is not to earn salvation - but only a symptom of living a mortal life in anticipation of the prize beyond. God promises that we will struggle, but has already given us the victory by grace!

2nd Sunday after Pentecost

1 Timothy 1:12-17

Pastor Robert Raasch

If God had expectations that we were meant to achieve in order to fulfill his demands, what purpose would mercy and grace serve us? God has always known humanity's failures and shortcomings (even the ones we think are secret) and instead offers every single one of us redemption and righteousness!

Holy Trinity

2 Corinthians 13:11-14

Pastor Joe Gawel

The mystery of the Triune God is a challenge to contemplate, but it is equally mysterious that the God of all things would grant us love and mercy. No matter what we experience or do, the grace and peace of our loving Savior is our sure gift.

Pentecost

John 7:37-39

Pastor Tim Priewe

There are so many ways we are drained of energy, peace, and hope in this world. Jesus promises the Holy Spirit will fill us up again and again with the words, "Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will from from within them."

7th Sunday after Easter

1 Peter 4:12-17, 5:6-11

Pastor Robert Raasch

It's easy to see a world filled with enemies sometimes, but we must be reminded of important by God about the truth of who our enemy really is and who our Savior is. The earth is full of humans who Christ died to save, and we are graciously granted that salvation to proclaim it.

5th Sunday after Easter

Acts 17:22-31

Pastor Joe Gawel

Paul demonstrates a sincere interest in the people with whom he shares the Gospel, and we would all do well to imitate it. Seeing the world as filled with fellow recipients of God's mercy is a far greater way to view other humans than any other.

4th Sunday after Easter

John 14:1-11

Pastor Tim Priewe

We are often tempted to "forge our own path" or "find our own way" in this world, but nothing on our own can lead us to God's presence. Thankfully, our loving Savior came to forge a path for us and travel it in our place!

3rd Sunday after Easter

1 Peter 2:19-25

Pastor Robert Raasch

We were never promised a care-free earthly life, and we were never promised earthly justice for wrongs we feel we've endured. God has already granted us the most important promise - salvation and life eternal in heaven. While we pass through this earthly life, we must forsake notions of earthly vengeance or entitlement. The blessings and mercy given us are for us to share!
