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!

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.

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

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.

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

There are few images that more clearly display the intimate connection Christ has with his people than that of a grapevine and its branches. Through faith in our risen Savior, we are intimately connected to Christ. Through him, life flows to us. Yet apart from him, we wilt as life ebbs from us. Only if we remain in Christ through faith and he in us through his Word can we possibly bear good fruit in our daily lives. The fruit of a Christian, therefore, is a life of thanks for God’s love given us in Jesus, the true, living Vine!

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

“I am the Good Shepherd.” The image of Jesus as the Good Shepherd is one of the most familiar and most comforting in all of Scripture, an image beloved by Christians for centuries. Why is that image so comforting? How is Jesus our “Good Shepherd”? Today, we see why. Jesus demonstrates why he is both capable and committed as our shepherd. He is no hired hand, only taking care of us because he has to do so or because he will get something out of it. Instead, Jesus lays down his life and takes it up again for our sake as his flock. He is the faithful shepherd whose voice we follow and whose voice we urge others to follow.

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

While this Gospel account sounds similar to last week's, the focus is different. Luke emphasizes the physical reality of Christ's resurrection, which Jesus demonstrates with word and action. Since the disciples were witnesses of this, the good news of the living Savior went out, bringing the reality of what they had seen and heard down to us today. The physical resurrection gives us hope that someday we will physically rise. We are witnesses of this reality and what this means for our lives. We joyfully proclaim it and boldly live it.

The Bible reading for this message is Luke 24:36-49.
