17th Sunday after Pentecost

Mark 9:30-37

Pastor Robert Raasch

Jesus gently calls us to not only hear His words, but to see His actions. If we observe the truth of His humility and selflessness, we can only despair in admission of our selfishness and pride. Thankfully His sacrificial death and life eternal grant us an unbreakable promise that our failures are made perfect in His righteousness.

14th Sunday after Pentecost

John 6:51-69

Pastor Tim Priewe

We are told so often and by so many sources, that our choices are important. When we consider what Jesus tells us today, it can be difficult to reconcile the truth about our inability to affect our own salvation, but this is what makes graces a true gift from God.

John 6:35-51

Pastor Robert Raasch

Our earthly lives are filled with trendy diets that promise health and longevity, but only one true "food" offers us eternal life in paradise. Thank God that through Christ's sacrifice and mercy, he draws (drags?) us to his loving arms and feeds us what will truly save our souls.

John 6:24-35

Pastor Joe Gawel

How often do we turn to God in greed and dissatisfaction? Or do we smugly look at the earthly blessings in our lives as trophies earned by our piety? Thankfully Jesus has forgiven all our selfish pride and distrust in God's wisdom, and freely offers us His own perfect life through faith.
