St. Paul Lutheran Church, Matteson, Illinois & Pastor Troester

Down to earth instruction on marriage and church, and being who we were made to be in Christ.

In our lives as Christians we follow Christ in everything, and in His examples, we consider others before ourselves.

Paul applies the principle of "Love your neighbor as yourself" to himself in his ministry, as one who is perfectly free in Christ and servant of all.

Inspired by the example of Jesus, we care about others ahead of ourselves, for their good, in the directive of "do unto others as you would have them do to you."

Pastor Paul responds to questions by the Christian Church in Corinth about marriage, sex and life.

This is how Christians treat one another as sisters and brothers in Christ, following the example and calling of Jesus.

Chrisitian love in action to admonish and care for one another.

Paul, the Pastor and Teacher, a servant of God and steward of God's mysteries to the church in which God has placed him.

Paul gets to the heart of the matter that this group of Christians were dealing with divisions because they were not focussing on Jesus.

God, who is our authority, establishes authority in our life, for our good, and entrusts that authority to others to protect us.
