Peter: More Than Your Mistakes

A devotional thought on Philippians 3:10 and Johann Bugenhagen: Johann Bugenhagen, Martin Luther's pastor, died on this date. A motto attributed to him states: "If you know Christ, that's enough! If you don't know Christ, that's nothing..even if you know everything else." He echoes Paul's words in Philippians 3:10--"That I may know Him and the power of His resurrection." Enjoy these Great Fifty Days of Easter.

Based on John 20:19, 21, 26.

Guest: Nichole Haas - 3rd Grade Teacher at St. Paul Lutheran School

In this episode of the St. Paul Podcast, Pastor Jacob Schultz and St. Paul 3rd Grade teacher Nichole Haas, focus on 1 John 4:17-21 and the St. Paul Value of "Authentic Relationships." They delve into how this passage emphasizes the importance of love in all types of relationships, and serves as a reminder that God is love, and that we must strive to love others as God loves us. Nichole shares her personal experiences and relationships that brought her to St. Paul and she highlighted the idea that no matter who you are or where you are, God is always communicating what He wants us to do. The message of the discussion was clear - love is central to all relationships, and we must actively seek to embody this value in our daily lives. By doing so, we can foster deeper connections with others and live a more fulfilling life.

Thomas: More Than A Number

A Devotional Thought: As we celebrate this Easter season and these warm days in mid-April, I'm reminded of the words of the canticle, "Give us a foretaste of the feast to come" (LSB 955).

Together more than Conquerors through Christ
