Mount Carmel Ministries

Luke Kjolhaug is the pastor of Elim Lutheran Church in Osakis, MN. This week, we will embrace the paradox of sin and grace, explore the heart of the struggle, and dive into why this matters. Through straightforward storytelling and robust theological reflection, Luke will reveal a third way between simplistic “either-or” extremes. He will encourage you to recognize that you are fully known and profoundly loved, even in the midst of confusion or failure. The result will be a new lens through which to see your day-to-day struggles, offering solace that God’s grace is greater than your shortcomings. Join us to explore the liberating truth that you are indeed both sinner and saint!

The book of Revelation is both one of the most read and most misunderstood books of the Bible.  Attempts to “decode” or interpret the Apocalypse have often done more harm than good for the church.  Pastor Nathan Hoff and Pastor Dave Wollan will present a different approach to reading the Revelation, one more along the lines of a pastoral letter from Pastor John on Patmos to a beleaguered people.
