To proclaim the good news of salvation, the Savior needs messengers. Yes, he sends out pastors and teachers and missionaries to be at the forefront of that proclamation, but as members of his family, Jesus also calls you to share that good news with those you know and love. Though at times you may feel unqualified, the Lord in his grace trains and blesses you for the task through the riches of his Word and Sacrament.

The Bible reading for this message is Mark 6:7-13.

The Lord of the Church sends us out with the gospel into our homes and neighborhoods and communities. You share Christ with someone you know, someone you love, someone you care about, but then…they reject your message. They object to what you have to say. Even Jesus, his prophets, and his apostles faced rejection for their message. Rather than get discouraged, we are encouraged to follow him beneath the cross and take his Word out to the world.

The Bible reading for this message is Mark 6:1-6.

Remember your Savior Jesus loves you! May he bless you with his grace!

When death confronts us in this life, where do we turn? Where do we go to find peace and security? Do we look within to the memories of days gone by? Do we look to friends or family? Or do we look to God’s Word? When death confronts people in our lives, what greater love can we show in that moment than to share that Word that brings peace and comfort in this reality—Jesus has conquered death. Life and immortality await us with him in the glories of heaven.

The Bible reading for this message is Mark 5:21-24a, 35-43.

Remember your Savior Jesus loves you! May he bless you with his grace!

If you plant a seed, can you cause it to grow? You can fertilize and water it, but yet you are not the source of its growth. No matter how hard you try, you cannot force a seed to grow. Today Jesus teaches us that his Word works the same way. As the good news of the Savior is planted in human hearts, can we cause it to grow? Can we predict or even force spiritual growth or fruit? We cannot, but through his Word, the Lord sends that seed out to create and strengthen faith in human hearts, defying all expectation.

Remember your Savior Jesus loves you! May he bless you with his grace!

Is it easier to trust the Lord when times are good or when times are bad? For Jesus’ disciples, they trusted him when they had heard his teaching and the seas were calm, but they lost that trust when the seas threatened their lives, even though Jesus himself was sleeping right there in their boat. When times are tough or uncertain, when times are filled with fear or worry, life can seem so much like a storm. We feel like we’ve lost our way and that we have no reason for hope. We’re quick to forget where Jesus is. But have no fear! Through God’s Word, God comforts us and gives us peace. How? Jesus is here…for us…always!

Remember your Savior Jesus loves you! May he bless you with his grace!

Do you know that there is a war going on inside your heart? Arrayed on one side are doubt and fear, fueled by your sinful nature’s desire to deny God’s promises and his ability to keep those promises. On the other side is trust, fueled by your faith in Christ your Savior. The trouble is that doubt and fear often get the upper hand, but thanks be to God! We have a Savior who not only overcomes our doubts and fears, but he fills our hearts with trust in him. How? Through his holy Word, which becomes our refuge from doubt and fear.

The Bible reading for this message is Matthew 14:22-33.

Come, Holy Spirit! Fill the hearts of your faithful people, and kindle in us the fire of your love. Alleluia! On Pentecost, we focus on the Holy Spirit and how God poured out his Holy Spirit, giving birth to the Christian church. Yet the Holy Spirit’s work of creating and strengthening faith is not carried out through dreams or visions or indigestion, but rather through physical means, specifically the Word of God. Yet how is that Word more than just a book full of promises? The Holy Spirit empowers that Word to breathe life into our dead hearts. The Holy Spirit empowers that Word to maintain and strengthen faith. Through that Word, the Holy Spirit remains in us all our lives. So today we give thanks for the Spirit’s work through the Word!

Remember your Savior Jesus loves you! May he bless you with his grace!

On Easter Sunday, we celebrated Christ’s resurrection victory from the dead. We rejoiced in the certain hope we have in the living Savior, but is your hope still certain weeks later? Is your hope still confident that not only Jesus lives, but that you will live too? Yet as the Easter season comes to a close, we see Jesus visibly returning to heaven. Will our hope disappear with him too? Praise God that as Christ ascends into heaven, we can still have the same certain hope that we had on Easter morning! This is a hope without doubt, a hope that waits for the return of the living Christ and remains confident in the King of Kings, who rules all things for us!

Why do we do what we do? The Christian life is a life of self-sacrificing love, a love that looks very different from the “love” found in our world today. Why? The love of a Christian reflects and flows from the love of the living Christ, who is not just our Savior, Redeemer, Lord, King, Shepherd, etc. No, he is also our friend in the truest, purest form of the word. Christ’s love moved him to give up his life for us. With the same self-sacrificing love, therefore, we love one another.
