Peace Lutheran Church, Sussex, WI

Central Thoughts

· God’s love for sinners and His plan of salvation is the reason God gave us the Ten Commandments.

· The Law threatens punishment to those who break the commandments and blessing to those who keep the commandments.

· Since we are all sinners, the Law always calls us to repentance, showing us our sin and how much we need our Savior.

· The Ten Commandments teach us…

o what is good,

o what God wants to protect,

o what we are to do and not to do,

o what it is to love God,

o and what it is to love our neighbor.

Jesus kept God’s Law for us by dying upon the cross.

Central Thoughts

· The boat from which Jesus taught symbolizes the Church and the nets symbolize the preaching of the Gospel and the Sacraments by which sinners are brought into the Church.

· The Word of God is the only power the Church and her ministers have in preaching the Gospel.

· Faith in Christ is a miracle of the Word of God.

· Christ calls men into the Office of the Ministry.

· Ministers are dependent upon Jesus’ Word and forgiveness to be faithful in their work.
