                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Sermon Focus: Christ Must be the Cornerstone of Every House of GodWhat does it really mean for Christ to be the cornerstone? In a world--and even in churches--where Jesus can become just one voice among many, this message calls us back to something deeper. From Ephesians 2, we're reminded that Christ is not an add-on, not a helpful influence, but the very foundation everything else stands on. When He is truly the cornerstone, He doesn't just support the structure--He defines it. This sermon challenges us to examine what we're really building on... and invites us to center everything on the One who holds it all together.


Sermon Text: Ephesians 2:19-22Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God's people and also members of his household, 20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. 21 In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. 22 And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.






This sermon and the subsequent speech by Richard Pfeifer were delivered for the rededication service of St. Peter's Lutheran Church after the renovation and expansion of our facility on top of the hill. Thank you to Richard Pfeifer for delivering a special poem for the occasion!]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Sermon Focus:


What if the very thing you're afraid to hope for... is exactly what God is calling you to believe? In this powerful message from 2 Kings, we walk with a grieving mother whose miracle child is suddenly taken from her--and watch as God does the unthinkable. This sermon wrestles with the fear of disappointment, the pain of shattered expectations, and the bold invitation God gives anyway: get your hopes up. Because in a world where death feels final, our God still raises the dead--and promises that this is not the end of your story.


Sermon Text: 2 Kings 4:17-37


But the woman became pregnant, and the next year about that same time she gave birth to a son, just as Elisha had told her.


18 The child grew, and one day he went out to his father, who was with the reapers. 19 He said to his father, "My head! My head!"


His father told a servant, "Carry him to his mother." 20 After the servant had lifted him up and carried him to his mother, the boy sat on her lap until noon, and then he died. 21 She went up and laid him on the bed of the man of God, then shut the door and went out.


22 She called her husband and said, "Please send me one of the servants and a donkey so I can go to the man of God quickly and return."


23 "Why go to him today?" he asked. "It's not the New Moon or the Sabbath."


"That's all right," she said.


24 She saddled the donkey and said to her servant, "Lead on; don't slow down for me unless I tell you." 25 So she set out and came to the man of God at Mount Carmel.


When he saw her in the distance, the man of God said to his servant Gehazi, "Look! There's the Shunammite! 26 Run to meet her and ask her, 'Are you all right? Is your husband all right? Is your child all right?'"


"Everything is all right," she said.


27 When she reached the man of God at the mountain, she took hold of his feet. Gehazi came over to push her away, but the man of God said, "Leave her alone! She is in bitter distress, but the Lord has hidden it from me and has not told me why."


28 "Did I ask you for a son, my lord?" she said. "Didn't I tell you, 'Don't raise my hopes'?"


29 Elisha said to Gehazi, "Tuck your cloak into your belt, take my staff in your hand and run. Don't greet anyone you meet, and if anyone greets you, do not answer. Lay my staff on the boy's face."


30 But the child's mother said, "As surely as the Lord lives and as you live, I will not leave you." So he got up and followed her.


31 Gehazi went on ahead and laid the staff on the boy's face, but there was no sound or response. So Gehazi went back to meet Elisha and told him, "The boy has not awakened."


32 When Elisha reached the house, there was the boy lying dead on his couch. 33 He went in, shut the door on the two of them and prayed to the Lord. 34 Then he got on the bed and lay on the boy, mouth to mouth, eyes to eyes, hands to hands. As he stretched himself out on him, the boy's body grew warm. 35 Elisha turned away and walked back and forth in the room and then got on the bed and stretched out on him once more. The boy sneezed seven times and opened his eyes.


36 Elisha summoned Gehazi and said, "Call the Shunammite." And he did. When she came, he said, "Take your son." 37 She came in, fell at his feet and bowed to the ground. Then she took her son and went out.]]></content:encoded>

Through Peter's eyes, we feel the weight of regret, the ache of shame, and the desperate longing for forgiveness. But we also witness something greater--Jesus' unwavering love. If you've ever wondered whether you've gone too far or failed too deeply, this message is for you. Come and hear the voice that still calls, "Follow me."


Sermon Text: John 21:1-19


Afterward Jesus appeared again to his disciples, by the Sea of Galilee. It happened this way: 2 Simon Peter, Thomas (also known as Didymus), Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples were together. 3 "I'm going out to fish," Simon Peter told them, and they said, "We'll go with you." So they went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing.


4 Early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus.


5 He called out to them, "Friends, haven't you any fish?"


"No," they answered.


6 He said, "Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some." When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish.


7 Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It is the Lord!" As soon as Simon Peter heard him say, "It is the Lord," he wrapped his outer garment around him (for he had taken it off) and jumped into the water. 8 The other disciples followed in the boat, towing the net full of fish, for they were not far from shore, about a hundred yards. 9 When they landed, they saw a fire of burning coals there with fish on it, and some bread.


10 Jesus said to them, "Bring some of the fish you have just caught." 11 So Simon Peter climbed back into the boat and dragged the net ashore. It was full of large fish, 153, but even with so many the net was not torn. 12 Jesus said to them, "Come and have breakfast." None of the disciples dared ask him, "Who are you?" They knew it was the Lord. 13 Jesus came, took the bread and gave it to them, and did the same with the fish. 14 This was now the third time Jesus appeared to his disciples after he was raised from the dead.


15 When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?"


"Yes, Lord," he said, "you know that I love you."


Jesus said, "Feed my lambs."


16 Again Jesus said, "Simon son of John, do you love me?"


He answered, "Yes, Lord, you know that I love you."


Jesus said, "Take care of my sheep."


17 The third time he said to him, "Simon son of John, do you love me?"


Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, "Do you love me?" He said, "Lord, you know all things; you know that I love you."


Jesus said, "Feed my sheep. 18 Very truly I tell you, when you were younger you dressed yourself and went where you wanted; but when you are old you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go." 19 Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death by which Peter would glorify God. Then he said to him, "Follow me!"]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[He came in the dark, full of questions... and left forever changed. 
Nicodemus once struggled to understand Jesus' words about being "born again," wrestling with faith through the lens of reason and tradition. But standing at the tomb, everything is different. What changed? What moved a cautious religious leader to publicly honor a crucified Messiah? In this message, we see how the Spirit works quietly but powerfully--transforming doubt into bold faith, and revealing a Savior who came not to condemn, but to save.Sermon Text: John 19:28-30, 38-42


Later, knowing that everything had now been finished, and so that Scripture would be fulfilled, Jesus said, "I am thirsty." 29 A jar of wine vinegar was there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put the sponge on a stalk of the hyssop plant, and lifted it to Jesus' lips. 30 When he had received the drink, Jesus said, "It is finished." With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.


31 Now it was the day of Preparation, and the next day was to be a special Sabbath. Because the Jewish leaders did not want the bodies left on the crosses during the Sabbath, they asked Pilate to have the legs broken and the bodies taken down. 32 The soldiers therefore came and broke the legs of the first man who had been crucified with Jesus, and then those of the other. 33 But when they came to Jesus and found that he was already dead, they did not break his legs. 34 Instead, one of the soldiers pierced Jesus' side with a spear, bringing a sudden flow of blood and water. 35 The man who saw it has given testimony, and his testimony is true. He knows that he tells the truth, and he testifies so that you also may believe. 36 These things happened so that the scripture would be fulfilled: "Not one of his bones will be broken," 37 and, as another scripture says, "They will look on the one they have pierced."


38 Later, Joseph of Arimathea asked Pilate for the body of Jesus. Now Joseph was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly because he feared the Jewish leaders. With Pilate's permission, he came and took the body away. 39 He was accompanied by Nicodemus, the man who earlier had visited Jesus at night. Nicodemus brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds.[c (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John%2019:28-42&amp;version=NIV#fen-NIV-26865c) ] 40 Taking Jesus' body, the two of them wrapped it, with the spices, in strips of linen. This was in accordance with Jewish burial customs. 41 At the place where Jesus was crucified, there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had ever been laid. 42 Because it was the Jewish day of Preparation and since the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there.]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[This Sermon's Focus:Are you seeing clearly? We often think blindness is just about the eyes, but the most dangerous kind of blindness starts in the heart. This Sunday, we're diving into John 9 to see how a man who gained his sight ended up seeing more than the people who had it all along. You need the right glasses to see the right Savior. Find out if your "spiritual prescription" needs an update.


The Sermon Text: John 9:1-7,13-17,34-39 


As he went along, he saw a man blind from birth. 2 His disciples asked him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?"


3 "Neither this man nor his parents sinned," said Jesus, "but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him. 4 As long as it is day, we must do the works of him who sent me. Night is coming, when no one can work. 5 While I am in the world, I am the light of the world."


6 After saying this, he spit on the ground, made some mud with the saliva, and put it on the man's eyes. 7 "Go," he told him, "wash in the Pool of Siloam" (this word means "Sent"). So the man went and washed, and came home seeing.


13 They brought to the Pharisees the man who had been blind. 14 Now the day on which Jesus had made the mud and opened the man's eyes was a Sabbath. 15 Therefore the Pharisees also asked him how he had received his sight. "He put mud on my eyes," the man replied, "and I washed, and now I see."


16 Some of the Pharisees said, "This man is not from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath."


But others asked, "How can a sinner perform such signs?" So they were divided.


17 Then they turned again to the blind man, "What have you to say about him? It was your eyes he opened."


The man replied, "He is a prophet."


34 To this they replied, "You were steeped in sin at birth; how dare you lecture us!" And they threw him out.


35 Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and when he found him, he said, "Do you believe in the Son of Man?"


36 "Who is he, sir?" the man asked. "Tell me so that I may believe in him."


37 Jesus said, "You have now seen him; in fact, he is the one speaking with you."


38 Then the man said, "Lord, I believe," and he worshiped him.


39 Jesus said, "For judgment I have come into this world, so that the blind will see and those who see will become blind."]]></content:encoded>

In this sermon from our Lent Series: From the Eyes of Those Who Were There, stand at the foot of the cross through the eyes of a Roman centurion--a hardened soldier confronted with things he couldn't explain.


An innocent man who didn't fight back.
A king crowned with thorns.
A dying man who still forgave.


As darkness falls and the earth begins to shake, everything changed for him and for the world. It compelled that Centurion to cry out:


"Truly this man was the Son of God."


What did he see and what did he believe that made him say that? 


What do you see? What do you believe about the man on the cross?






Sermon Text: Mark 15:33-39


At noon, darkness came over the whole land until three in the afternoon. 34 And at three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?" (which means "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?").


35 When some of those standing near heard this, they said, "Listen, he's calling Elijah."


36 Someone ran, filled a sponge with wine vinegar, put it on a staff, and offered it to Jesus to drink. "Now leave him alone. Let's see if Elijah comes to take him down," he said.


37 With a loud cry, Jesus breathed his last.


38 The curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. 39 And when the centurion, who stood there in front of Jesus, saw how he died, he said, "Surely this man was the Son of God!"]]></content:encoded>

In this sermon from our Lent Series: From the Eyes of Those Who Were There, step into the life of Mary--the mother of Jesus. Not as a figure on a pedestal... but as a real mother. A sinner. A woman chosen by grace.


She held Him as a baby, raised Him as her son, And yet she knew he was so much more--He was her and the world's Savior.


From the wonder of His birth, to the confusion of His mission, to the heartbreak at the cross, Mary's story is one of love, loss, and a faith refined through it all.


A sword would pierce her soul, but through that pain, she would see the grace of God more clearly than ever.


This isn't just her story... It's ours too!






Sermon Text: John19:25-27Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother, his mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. 26 When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to her, "Woman, here is your son," 27 and to the disciple, "Here is your mother." From that time on, this disciple took her into his home.]]></content:encoded>

To some, it looked like waste.
A year's wages... poured out at His feet.
But through Mary's eyes, it was something entirely different.


In this second sermon of our Lent Series: From the Eyes of Those Who Were There, step into the room... feel the tension... hear the criticism... and witness a moment of radical love and deep faith.


She had seen His power over death.
She had sat at His feet and heard His promises.
And now--she responds.


This isn't just a story about perfume.
It's a story about recognizing Jesus for who He truly is...
and giving Him everything.






Sermon Text: John 12:1-11


Six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany, where Lazarus lived, whom Jesus had raised from the dead. 2 Here a dinner was given in Jesus' honor. Martha served, while Lazarus was among those reclining at the table with him. 3 Then Mary took about a pint of pure nard, an expensive perfume; she poured it on Jesus' feet and wiped his feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.


4 But one of his disciples, Judas Iscariot, who was later to betray him, objected, 5 "Why wasn't this perfume sold and the money given to the poor? It was worth a year's wages." 6 He did not say this because he cared about the poor but because he was a thief; as keeper of the money bag, he used to help himself to what was put into it.


7 "Leave her alone," Jesus replied. "It was intended that she should save this perfume for the day of my burial. 8 You will always have the poor among you, but you will not always have me."


9 Meanwhile a large crowd of Jews found out that Jesus was there and came, not only because of him but also to see Lazarus, whom he had raised from the dead. 10 So the chief priests made plans to kill Lazarus as well, 11 for on account of him many of the Jews were going over to Jesus and believing in him.]]></content:encoded>

This lesson wrestles with how we can make sure we are sounding a clear call for faith in Jesus being the most important and life-changing thing about us and about life in general.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[This Sermon's Focus:


Ever wondered what it takes to have faith like Abraham? 


Abraham was just an ordinary guy, but when he encountered God, everything changed. He didn't have a prototype or a grand plan--just a simple command to leave everything behind and trust in God's promises. 


His journey teaches us that faith isn't about perfection; it's about trusting God's presence and word, even in uncertainty. 


As we reflect on Abraham's story, let's remember that God's promises are still true for us today. How are you navigating your journey of faith? 






Sermon Text: Genesis 12:1-8


The Lord had said to Abram, "Go from your country, your people and your father's household to the land I will show you.


2 "I will make you into a great nation,
    and I will bless you;
I will make your name great,
    and you will be a blessing.
3 I will bless those who bless you,
    and whoever curses you I will curse;
and all peoples on earth
    will be blessed through you."


4 So Abram went, as the Lord had told him; and Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he set out from Harran. 5 He took his wife Sarai, his nephew Lot, all the possessions they had accumulated and the people they had acquired in Harran, and they set out for the land of Canaan, and they arrived there.


6 Abram traveled through the land as far as the site of the great tree of Moreh at Shechem. At that time the Canaanites were in the land. 7 The Lord appeared to Abram and said, "To your offspring I will give this land." So he built an altar there to the Lord, who had appeared to him.


8 From there he went on toward the hills east of Bethel and pitched his tent, with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east. There he built an altar to the Lord and called on the name of the Lord.

This episode features a special presentation put on by the Chronicle Heritage Foundation. They are the group that helped us excavate near our church building for our construction project and identify any remains that were there. Despite radar only showing a few places with remains, the Foundation found many more than anticipated. They carefully and respectfully exhumed and reburied those who helped found and build this congregation and this community. 


Tune in to learn more about their methods, the respect that was shown, and the beautiful reality we cling to, that while we may not now their names, God knows them. Their names are written in the book of life.]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Sermon Focus:


This sermon explores the significance of Lent, Jesus' temptation in the wilderness, and how His victory over Satan offers us hope and strength in our own spiritual battles. It emphasizes reliance on God's Word, trust in His protection, and the power of Jesus' sacrifice.


Sermon Text: Matthew 4:1-11


Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. 2 After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. 3 The tempter came to him and said, "If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread."


4 Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.'"


5 Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. 6 "If you are the Son of God," he said, "throw yourself down. For it is written:


"'He will command his angels concerning you,
    and they will lift you up in their hands,
    so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.'"


7 Jesus answered him, "It is also written: 'Do not put the Lord your God to the test.'"


8 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. 9 "All this I will give you," he said, "if you will bow down and worship me."


10 Jesus said to him, "Away from me, Satan! For it is written: 'Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.'"


11 Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him.]]></content:encoded>

Take a walk back in history with Mr. Tim Prost, our 5-8th grade teacher at St. Peter's Lutheran School and avid historian.

This sermon focuses in on the side character of Jesus' ministry: Bartimeaus. Bartimeaus was a blind man who knew that Jesus could help him. He must have heard about Jesus and the powerful things he had done. He must also have heard Jesus' bold words that he came to heal, to save, and most importantly, be the Messiah all people need him to be. Bartimeaus confidently cries out, "Jesus, help me!" And his faith is rewarded with sight and then a path forward as he follows Jesus to death and life everlasting.


Reading: Luke 4:14-21


Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and news about him spread through the whole countryside. He was teaching in their synagogues, and everyone praised him. Hewent to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom. He stood up to read, and the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. Unrolling it, he found the place where it is written:


"The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor." Then he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant and sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fastened on him. He began by saying to them, "Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing."


Reading: Mark 10:46-52


Then they came to Jericho. As Jesus and his disciples, together with a large crowd, were leaving the city, a blind man, Bartimaeus (which means "son of Timaeus"), was sitting by the roadside begging. When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!" Many rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, "Son of David, have mercy on me!" Jesusstopped and said, "Call him. So they called to the blind man, "Cheer up! On your feet! He's calling you." Throwing his cloak aside, he jumped to his feet and came to Jesus. "Whatdo you want me to do for you?" Jesus asked him. The blind man said, "Rabbi, I want to see." "Go," said Jesus, "your faith has healed you." Immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road.]]></content:encoded>

This episode explores the profound significance of the Transfiguration of Jesus, revealing his divine glory and its implications for our faith and future hope. Join us as we delve into biblical accounts, theological insights, and the hope of eternal life through Christ.






Sermon Text: Matthew 17:1-9


After six days Jesus took with him Peter, James and John the brother of James, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. 2 There he was transfigured before them. His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light. 3 Just then there appeared before them Moses and Elijah, talking with Jesus.


4 Peter said to Jesus, "Lord, it is good for us to be here. If you wish, I will put up three shelters--one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah."


5 While he was still speaking, a bright cloud covered them, and a voice from the cloud said, "This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased. Listen to him!"


6 When the disciples heard this, they fell facedown to the ground, terrified. 7 But Jesus came and touched them. "Get up," he said. "Don't be afraid." 8 When they looked up, they saw no one except Jesus.


9 As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus instructed them, "Don't tell anyone what you have seen, until the Son of Man has been raised from the dead."]]></content:encoded>

This sermon explores the struggles of faith, envy of the wicked, and the strength we find in Christ to remain heart-strong amidst life's challenges. It emphasizes honest prayer, the importance of sanctuary, and trusting God's final justice.






Sermon Text: Psalm 73


A psalm of Asaph.


1 Surely God is good to Israel,
    to those who are pure in heart.


2 But as for me, my feet had almost slipped;
    I had nearly lost my foothold.
3 For I envied the arrogant
    when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.


4 They have no struggles;
    their bodies are healthy and strong.[a (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=psalm%2073&amp;version=NIV#fen-NIV-15025a) ]
5 They are free from common human burdens;
    they are not plagued by human ills.
6 Therefore pride is their necklace;
    they clothe themselves with violence.
7 From their callous hearts comes iniquity[b (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=psalm%2073&amp;version=NIV#fen-NIV-15028b) ];
    their evil imaginations have no limits.
8 They scoff, and speak with malice;
    with arrogance they threaten oppression.
9 Their mouths lay claim to heaven,
    and their tongues take possession of the earth.
10 Therefore their people turn to them
    and drink up waters in abundance.[c (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=psalm%2073&amp;version=NIV#fen-NIV-15031c) ]
11 They say, "How would God know?
    Does the Most High know anything?"


12 This is what the wicked are like--
    always free of care, they go on amassing wealth.


13 Surely in vain I have kept my heart pure
    and have washed my hands in innocence.
14 All day long I have been afflicted,
    and every morning brings new punishments.


15 If I had spoken out like that,
    I would have betrayed your children.
16 When I tried to understand all this,
    it troubled me deeply
17 till I entered the sanctuary of God;
    then I understood their final destiny.


18 Surely you place them on slippery ground;
    you cast them down to ruin.
19 How suddenly are they destroyed,
    completely swept away by terrors!
20 They are like a dream when one awakes;
    when you arise, Lord,
    you will despise them as fantasies.


21 When my heart was grieved
    and my spirit embittered,
22 I was senseless and ignorant;
    I was a brute beast before you.


23 Yet I am always with you;
    you hold me by my right hand.
24 You guide me with your counsel,
    and afterward you will take me into glory.
25 Whom have I in heaven but you?
    And earth has nothing I desire besides you.
26 My flesh and my heart may fail,
    but God is the strength of my heart
    and my portion forever.


27 Those who are far from you will perish;
    you destroy all who are unfaithful to you.
28 But as for me, it is good to be near God.
    I have made the Sovereign Lord my refuge;
    I will tell of all your deeds.]]></content:encoded>

This sermon explores the biblical perspective on justice, God's nature, and how Christians are called to respond to injustice with love and humility. It features a deep dive into Scripture, including Matthew's Beatitudes and Zephaniah, and discusses practical ways to live out God's justice in today's world.


Sermon Text: Zephaniah 2:3, 3:11-13


Seek the Lord, all you humble of the land,
    you who do what he commands.
Seek righteousness, seek humility;
    perhaps you will be sheltered
    on the day of the Lord's anger.


On that day you, Jerusalem, will not be put to shame
    for all the wrongs you have done to me,
because I will remove from you
    your arrogant boasters.
Never again will you be haughty
    on my holy hill.
12 But I will leave within you
    the meek and humble.
The remnant of Israel
    will trust in the name of the Lord.
13 They will do no wrong;
    they will tell no lies.
A deceitful tongue
    will not be found in their mouths.
They will eat and lie down
    and no one will make them afraid."]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Summary:


This sermon explores the significance of Jesus as the light of the world, contrasting spiritual darkness with divine illumination. It emphasizes trusting in God's Word over occult practices and highlights the hope found in Christ's resurrection.






Sermon Text: Isaiah 8:19-9:4


When someone tells you to consult mediums and spiritists, who whisper and mutter, should not a people inquire of their God? Why consult the dead on behalf of the living? 20 Consult God's instruction and the testimony of warning. If anyone does not speak according to this word, they have no light of dawn. 21 Distressed and hungry, they will roam through the land; when they are famished, they will become enraged and, looking upward, will curse their king and their God. 22 Then they will look toward the earth and see only distress and darkness and fearful gloom, and they will be thrust into utter darkness.


9 [a (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah%208%3A19-9%3A4&amp;version=NIV#fen-NIV-17831a) ]Nevertheless, there will be no more gloom for those who were in distress. In the past he humbled the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but in the future he will honor Galilee of the nations, by the Way of the Sea, beyond the Jordan--


2 The people walking in darkness
    have seen a great light;
on those living in the land of deep darkness
    a light has dawned.
3 You have enlarged the nation
    and increased their joy;
they rejoice before you
    as people rejoice at the harvest,
as warriors rejoice
    when dividing the plunder.
4 For as in the day of Midian's defeat,
    you have shattered
the yoke that burdens them,
    the bar across their shoulders,
    the rod of their oppressor.]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Sermon Text: Isaiah 49:1-6


Listen to me, you islands;
    hear this, you distant nations:
Before I was born the Lord called me;
    from my mother's womb he has spoken my name.
2 He made my mouth like a sharpened sword,
    in the shadow of his hand he hid me;
he made me into a polished arrow
    and concealed me in his quiver.
3 He said to me, "You are my servant,
    Israel, in whom I will display my splendor."
4 But I said, "I have labored in vain;
    I have spent my strength for nothing at all.
Yet what is due me is in the Lord's hand,
    and my reward is with my God."


5 And now the Lord says--
    he who formed me in the womb to be his servant
to bring Jacob back to him
    and gather Israel to himself,
for I am honored in the eyes of the Lord
    and my God has been my strength--
6 he says:
"It is too small a thing for you to be my servant
    to restore the tribes of Jacob
    and bring back those of Israel I have kept.
I will also make you a light for the Gentiles,
    that my salvation may reach to the ends of the earth."]]></content:encoded>

"Here is my servant, whom I uphold,
    my chosen one in whom I delight;
I will put my Spirit on him,
    and he will bring justice to the nations.
2 He will not shout or cry out,
    or raise his voice in the streets.
3 A bruised reed he will not break,
    and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out.
In faithfulness he will bring forth justice;
4     he will not falter or be discouraged
till he establishes justice on earth.
    In his teaching the islands will put their hope."


5 This is what God the Lord says--
the Creator of the heavens, who stretches them out,
    who spreads out the earth with all that springs from it,
    who gives breath to its people,
    and life to those who walk on it:
6 "I, the Lord, have called you in righteousness;
    I will take hold of your hand.
I will keep you and will make you
    to be a covenant for the people
    and a light for the Gentiles,
7 to open eyes that are blind,
    to free captives from prison
    and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness.]]></content:encoded>

After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi from the east came to Jerusalem 2 and asked, "Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews? We saw his star when it rose and have come to worship him."


3 When King Herod heard this he was disturbed, and all Jerusalem with him. 4 When he had called together all the people's chief priests and teachers of the law, he asked them where the Messiah was to be born. 5 "In Bethlehem in Judea," they replied, "for this is what the prophet has written:


6 "'But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah,
    are by no means least among the rulers of Judah;
for out of you will come a ruler
    who will shepherd my people Israel.'"


7 Then Herod called the Magi secretly and found out from them the exact time the star had appeared. 8 He sent them to Bethlehem and said, "Go and search carefully for the child. As soon as you find him, report to me, so that I too may go and worship him."


9 After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star they had seen when it rose went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was. 10 When they saw the star, they were overjoyed. 11 On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense and myrrh. 12 And having been warned in a dream not to go back to Herod, they returned to their country by another route.






Sermon Theme: WORSHIP LIKE THE MAGI

  1. Worship that overcomes obstacles
  2. Worship that gives generously
  3. Worship that lives faithfully.]]></content:encoded>

And having been warned in a dream not to go back to Herod, they returned to their country by another route.


13 When they had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. "Get up," he said, "take the child and his mother and escape to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you, for Herod is going to search for the child to kill him."


14 So he got up, took the child and his mother during the night and left for Egypt, 15 where he stayed until the death of Herod. And so was fulfilled what the Lord had said through the prophet: "Out of Egypt I called my son."


16 When Herod realized that he had been outwitted by the Magi, he was furious, and he gave orders to kill all the boys in Bethlehem and its vicinity who were two years old and under, in accordance with the time he had learned from the Magi. 17 Then what was said through the prophet Jeremiah was fulfilled:


18 "A voice is heard in Ramah,
    weeping and great mourning,
Rachel weeping for her children
    and refusing to be comforted,
    because they are no more."


19 After Herod died, an angel of the Lord appeared in a dream to Joseph in Egypt 20 and said, "Get up, take the child and his mother and go to the land of Israel, for those who were trying to take the child's life are dead."


21 So he got up, took the child and his mother and went to the land of Israel. 22 But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning in Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. Having been warned in a dream, he withdrew to the district of Galilee, 23 and he went and lived in a town called Nazareth. So was fulfilled what was said through the prophets, that he would be called a Nazarene.]]></content:encoded>

Again the Lord spoke to Ahaz, 11 "Ask the Lord your God for a sign, whether in the deepest depths or in the highest heights."


12 But Ahaz said, "I will not ask; I will not put the Lord to the test."


13 Then Isaiah said, "Hear now, you house of David! Is it not enough to try the patience of humans? Will you try the patience of my God also? 14 Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.]]></content:encoded>

In this episode, Pastor Gunnar Ledermann and Pastor Titus Buelow start the short book of 3 John that is but one chapter! This letter is addressed to a certain Gaius, encouraging him to stand firm with faithful leaders who hold to the truth, and to stand apart from poor leaders who let go of truth for selfish pride. This letter is ripe with applications for current ministry settings so listen in and take these wise words from "the elder" to heart!

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[This Sermon's Focus:


It is easy for us to let circumstances around us dictate whether we believe God's will is being accomplished, or if good will really prevail. However, we must be careful that our sights are not set too low. Yes, there is so much hurt and harm happening in our world, but that does not mean God is "winning" on a much grander scale. 


The same is true when we try to deduce God's plan. John the Baptist had sent his disciples to find out from Jesus if he was truly the Messiah. Things didn't look good on the ground level at first glance from a prison cell. However, big things were happening that were setting in motion even bigger things. The lame were walking. The blind were seeing. The deaf were hearing. Even the dead were rising. And good news was being proclaimed to the poor. This was it... the fulfillment of God's promise to send the Messiah to save us from our sins, this world and its worries, and our eventual death and condemnation. Yes, Jesus was the Messiah and he was changing the world forever. 


This Sermon's Text: Matthew 11:2-11


When John, who was in prison, heard about the deeds of the Messiah, he sent his disciples 3 to ask him, "Are you the one who is to come, or should we expect someone else?"


4 Jesus replied, "Go back and report to John what you hear and see: 5 The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those who have leprosy are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the good news is proclaimed to the poor. 6 Blessed is anyone who does not stumble on account of me."


7 As John's disciples were leaving, Jesus began to speak to the crowd about John: "What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed swayed by the wind? 8 If not, what did you go out to see? A man dressed in fine clothes? No, those who wear fine clothes are in kings' palaces. 9 Then what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I tell you, and more than a prophet. 10 This is the one about whom it is written:


"'I will send my messenger ahead of you,
    who will prepare your way before you.'


11 Truly I tell you, among those born of women there has not risen anyone greater than John the Baptist; yet whoever is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[This Service's Focus:


A very warm welcome to all our families, especially those who are visiting today or joining us for the first time. We're grateful you're here--your presence is a gift. Today is especially joyful because our youngest children from our Early Learning Center will be helping lead us in worship. Their voices and excitement remind us of the simple, wonder-filled faith Jesus Himself commends to us.


As we begin this service, you'll notice the Advent wreath here at the front. Christians have used the Advent wreath for generations--its roots go back to early European believers who used evergreen branches and candles in the dark winter months as a way to point toward hope and the coming light of Christ. Over time, the Church adopted the wreath as a teaching tool: a circle to remind us of God's unending love, evergreens to symbolize the life He gives, and candles lit week by week to mark our journey toward the celebration of Jesus' birth.


We still use the Advent wreath today because it helps us slow down in a season that can so easily rush past. Each candle reminds us of the promises God made and fulfilled in His Son, and it invites us to prepare our hearts--not just for Christmas traditions, but for Christ Himself. My prayer is that whether you've been in church your whole life, or today is your first time in a long time, you'll see in this simple wreath the heartbeat of Christmas: that God loves you so much He stepped into our world as a child, Jesus, to save and restore us.


So welcome--may this service help all of us, young and old, look forward with hope and joy to the coming of our Savior. Let's begin in His name.


Our Sermon Text: Luke 2:10-14


But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. 11 Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. 12 This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger."


13 Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,


14 "Glory to God in the highest heaven,
    and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests."]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[This Sermon's Focus:


All of us struggle with anxiety, sadness, and despair. Some of us struggle with them chronically and have been diagnosed with severe levels of them. What does God have to say to us? Can he help? Are we going to be okay?


These are hard and very good questions to ask. In this text, Paul gives us answers that at first sound very insensitive and too hard to grasp, but as we dig in, we will hear them from a man who understands and is showing us a path forward with the Lord. 


The Lord is near and he will see us through these storms too. Listen in!


This Sermon's Text: Philippians 4:4-7 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.#anxiety #depression #mentalhealth #struggle #faith #hope #gentleness #life]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[This Sermon's Focus:


David is overcome by God's additional promises to him and his family when he had wanted to give a temple to God! But isn't this how God deals with all of us? He has already showered many blessings on us, but instead of asking us to give him payment or gifts in return, God instead promises more. This is a great reason to give thanks this Thanksgiving and always: We have a God who loves us and blesses us even though we don't deserve it. How could we not give thanks!






This Sermon's Text: 2 Samuel 7:18-22


Then King David went in and sat before the Lord, and he said:


"Who am I, Sovereign Lord, and what is my family, that you have brought me this far? 19 And as if this were not enough in your sight, Sovereign Lord, you have also spoken about the future of the house of your servant--and this decree, Sovereign Lord, is for a mere human![c (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20Samuel%207%3A8-22&amp;version=NIV#fen-NIV-8200c) ]


20 "What more can David say to you? For you know your servant, Sovereign Lord. 21 For the sake of your word and according to your will, you have done this great thing and made it known to your servant.


22 "How great you are, Sovereign Lord! There is no one like you, and there is no God but you, as we have heard with our own ears.]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Sermon Focus:


In this sermon, Pastor Titus emphasizes the importance of anticipating the return of Jesus and being spiritually prepared for His coming. He discusses the need for readiness in our faith and service to others, encouraging listeners to fix their eyes on Jesus and engage with their community, especially during the Thanksgiving season.


Sermon Text: Luke 12:35-40"Be dressed ready for service and keep your lamps burning, 36 like servants waiting for their master to return from a wedding banquet, so that when he comes and knocks they can immediately open the door for him. 37 It will be good for those servants whose master finds them watching when he comes. Truly I tell you, he will dress himself to serve, will have them recline at the table and will come and wait on them. 38 It will be good for those servants whose master finds them ready, even if he comes in the middle of the night or toward daybreak. 39 But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what hour the thief was coming, he would not have let his house be broken into. 40 You also must be ready, because the Son of Man will come at an hour when you do not expect him."]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[This Sermon's Focus:


Judgement is necessary to make things right. There is a lot wrong with this world and a lot of us have personally experienced that. Many of us want to see justice done on the wicked. We need evil to be called out for what it is. That is not wrong. God echoes our frustration and our hate for evil. He tells us he will make right what has been wrong. He will punish wickedness and sin. 


But he reserves the right to be that judge. He tells us to give that judgment to him. He will remove evil once and for all. He will punish the wicked. 


Thankfully though, God does also promise to bring mercy to those who revere his name and healing to those who are wounded and hurting. While many of us have been hurt, we also have hurt others. We have evil inside. So we desperately need a cleansing, a healing. We need mercy from God so that we too are not judged. And God says that those who fear him, who revere him, who fall down and plead for his mercy and trust that he will be merciful through the judgment of Jesus in our place, we will be saved. We will be forgiven. We will be healed. This is not something we deserve. 


So two things are true. God will judge evil. God will also save those who revere his name and bring healing. Both of these truths are powerful, real and necessary for us to be healed forever. 






The Sermon Text: Malachi 4:1-6


"Surely the day is coming; it will burn like a furnace. All the arrogant and every evildoer will be stubble, and the day that is coming will set them on fire," says the Lord Almighty. "Not a root or a branch will be left to them. 2 But for you who revere my name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its rays. And you will go out and frolic like well-fed calves. 3 Then you will trample on the wicked; they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day when I act," says the Lord Almighty.


4 "Remember the law of my servant Moses, the decrees and laws I gave him at Horeb for all Israel.


5 "See, I will send the prophet Elijah to you before that great and dreadful day of the Lord comes. 6 He will turn the hearts of the parents to their children, and the hearts of the children to their parents; or else I will come and strike the land with total destruction."]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Summary


In this sermon, Pastor Titus reflects on the transformative moment when Jesus called Zacchaeus down from the tree, highlighting the significance of his personal invitation to Zacchaeus and his willingness to love him despite societal stigma. 






The Sermon Text: Luke 19:1-10


Jesus entered Jericho and was passing through. 2 A man was there by the name of Zacchaeus; he was a chief tax collector and was wealthy. 3 He wanted to see who Jesus was, but because he was short he could not see over the crowd. 4 So he ran ahead and climbed a sycamore-fig tree to see him, since Jesus was coming that way.


5 When Jesus reached the spot, he looked up and said to him, "Zacchaeus, come down immediately. I must stay at your house today." 6 So he came down at once and welcomed him gladly.


7 All the people saw this and began to mutter, "He has gone to be the guest of a sinner."


8 But Zacchaeus stood up and said to the Lord, "Look, Lord! Here and now I give half of my possessions to the poor, and if I have cheated anybody out of anything, I will pay back four times the amount."


9 Jesus said to him, "Today salvation has come to this house, because this man, too, is a son of Abraham. 10 For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost."]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[The Sermon Focus:


The festival of All Saints Day celebrates the belief in eternal life through Jesus. The promise of a new heaven and earth offers hope to believers.


Heroes of faith in the Bible include flawed individuals who acted in faith. God defines a hero not by perfection but by faith in Him. All believers are considered saints and heroes in God's eyes. Eternal life connects us with those who have gone before us. 






The Sermon Text: Hebrews 11:32-40


And what more shall I say? I do not have time to tell about Gideon, Barak, Samson and Jephthah, about David and Samuel and the prophets, 33 who through faith conquered kingdoms, administered justice, and gained what was promised; who shut the mouths of lions, 34 quenched the fury of the flames, and escaped the edge of the sword; whose weakness was turned to strength; and who became powerful in battle and routed foreign armies. 35 Women received back their dead, raised to life again. There were others who were tortured, refusing to be released so that they might gain an even better resurrection. 36 Some faced jeers and flogging, and even chains and imprisonment. 37 They were put to death by stoning;[a (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hebrews%2011%3A32-40&amp;version=NIV#fen-NIV-30210a) ] they were sawed in two; they were killed by the sword. They went about in sheepskins and goatskins, destitute, persecuted and mistreated-- 38 the world was not worthy of them. They wandered in deserts and mountains, living in caves and in holes in the ground.


39 These were all commended for their faith, yet none of them received what had been promised, 40 since God had planned something better for us so that only together with us would they be made perfect.]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[In This SermonPastor Titus reflects on the amazing reality that God chooses to work through us. Even though we are sinners who make so many mistakes and poor decisions, God still chooses to use us to share the message of reconciliation with other sinners like us. However, in this amazing choice is great wisdom. God knows that when that message comes from those who live that message through their forgiveness and newness of life, the words leap from our very self and the story we tell to our friends, our neighbors, and our children. By grace and by his power, we are the perfect ambassadors for Christ. 


Our Sermon Text: 2 Corinthians 5:18-21All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: 19 that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people's sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. 20 We are therefore Christ's ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ's behalf: Be reconciled to God. 21 God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[The Sermon Focus:This sermon emphasizes the importance of valuing spiritual blessings over material possessions, warning against the dangers of materialism while encouraging generosity and faith in God's provision. The message concludes with a reminder of the assurance and treasure found in Jesus, urging listeners to cherish their faith and share their blessings with others.


The Sermon Text: Luke 12:22-32


Then Jesus said to his disciples: "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat; or about your body, what you will wear. 23 For life is more than food, and the body more than clothes. 24 Consider the ravens: They do not sow or reap, they have no storeroom or barn; yet God feeds them. And how much more valuable you are than birds! 25 Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to your life[a (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke%2012%3A19-32&amp;version=NIV#fen-NIV-25485a) ]? 26 Since you cannot do this very little thing, why do you worry about the rest?


27 "Consider how the wild flowers grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you, not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 28 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today, and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, how much more will he clothe you--you of little faith! 29 And do not set your heart on what you will eat or drink; do not worry about it. 30 For the pagan world runs after all such things, and your Father knows that you need them. 31 But seek his kingdom, and these things will be given to you as well.


32 "Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom.]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[3 Week Series: Christ For Us, With Us, &amp; Through Us


This week, we begin a 3-week commemoration of 175 years of grace for our Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod. Each week will have a unique look at how Jesus has and continues to work for, through and with his church throughout the ages. And in this time and place, we are called to continue this amazing legacy of Christ for us, Christ through us, and Christ with us. 


 


Our synod's 175th anniversary theme is "Christ Through Us." That can only be understood properly if we first establish the concept of "Christ For Us" (Christus pro nobis in Latin). Jesus Christ's life, death, and resurrection were not for his own benefit but specifically for humanity's salvation. He lived a perfect life, fulfilling God's law on behalf of sinners, and his death was a substitutionary atonement for our sins. The phrase "for us" underscores the idea that salvation is entirely a gift, granted by God through Christ's actions, and is not earned by human effort or merit.


"Christ For Us" is central to the Bible's explanation of justification, where believers are declared righteous before God solely on the basis of Christ's work, received through faith. Christ's vicarious suffering and resurrection assure Christians that God's wrath against sin has been fully satisfied, and through Christ, we are reconciled to God.






In This Sermon


In this conversation, Pastor Titus explores the theme of thankfulness, particularly focusing on the concept that God is inherently FOR humanity. He reflects on biblical stories, such as Noah and Joshua, to illustrate God's unwavering support and love. The sermon emphasizes that God's love is unconditional and that believers can find assurance in their faith. The sermon also celebrates the 175th anniversary of the Wisconsin Synod, highlighting the blessings and growth of the church community over the years.


Our Sermon Text: Romans 5:8-10


But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.


9 Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God's wrath through him! 10 For if, while we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life!]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Sermon Series: Wounds That Heal


Not all wounds are bad. A skilled surgeon takes a deadly sharp scalpel and cuts through flesh and muscle. The result of that wound: not harm, but healing. In the same way, we often say that words cut us to the heart. Words can wound. Sometimes, however, those painful words provide the very healing we need.


This Sermon's Focus:


Pastor Titus explores the themes of service, generosity, and forgiveness within the Christian faith. He emphasizes the privilege of serving God, the importance of being generous in faith, and the cultural expectations surrounding service. The discussion also delves into the expectations of forgiveness and accountability among believers, encouraging a shift in perspective from entitlement to humble service.






Our Sermon Text: Luke 17:1-10


Jesus said to his disciples: "Things that cause people to stumble are bound to come, but woe to anyone through whom they come. 2 It would be better for them to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around their neck than to cause one of these little ones to stumble. 3 So watch yourselves.


"If your brother or sister sins against you, rebuke them; and if they repent, forgive them. 4 Even if they sin against you seven times in a day and seven times come back to you saying 'I repent,' you must forgive them."


5 The apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith!"


6 He replied, "If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it will obey you.


7 "Suppose one of you has a servant plowing or looking after the sheep. Will he say to the servant when he comes in from the field, 'Come along now and sit down to eat'? 8 Won't he rather say, 'Prepare my supper, get yourself ready and wait on me while I eat and drink; after that you may eat and drink'? 9 Will he thank the servant because he did what he was told to do? 10 So you also, when you have done everything you were told to do, should say, 'We are unworthy servants; we have only done our duty.'"]]></content:encoded>

Not all wounds are bad. A skilled surgeon takes a deadly sharp scalpel and cuts through flesh and muscle. The result of that wound: not harm, but healing. In the same way, we often say that words cut us to the heart. Words can wound. Sometimes, however, those painful words provide the very healing we need.


This Sermon's Focus:


Jesus tells a story about a rich man and a poor man named Lazarus before and after they die. Before they die, the rich man has a great life while the poor man has a terrible life. But when death comes, everything changes in eternity. Lazarus is in heaven, comfortable and safe. The rich man is in torment and will be forever. 


What does this story have to tell us about our perceived reality and our soon-to-pass future? It teaches us to see life as an opportunity to know God, believe in Him, and use the time we have on earth to serve the lowly among us. Then together with our loved ones, we will enjoy heaven not hell by believing and living the Word of God that gives eternal life. 






Our Sermon Text: Luke 14:1, 7-14


"There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and lived in luxury every day. 20 At his gate was laid a beggar named Lazarus, covered with sores 21 and longing to eat what fell from the rich man's table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.


22 "The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham's side. The rich man also died and was buried. 23 In Hades, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side. 24 So he called to him, 'Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.'


25 "But Abraham replied, 'Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony. 26 And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been set in place, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.'


27 "He answered, 'Then I beg you, father, send Lazarus to my family, 28 for I have five brothers. Let him warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.'


29 "Abraham replied, 'They have Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to them.'


30 "'No, father Abraham,' he said, 'but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.'


31 "He said to him, 'If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.'"]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Sermon Series: Wounds That Heal


Not all wounds are bad. A skilled surgeon takes a deadly sharp scalpel and cuts through flesh and muscle. The result of that wound: not harm, but healing. In the same way, we often say that words cut us to the heart. Words can wound. Sometimes, however, those painful words provide the very healing we need.






This Sermon's Focus:


The parable of the shrewd manager is a difficult one, but one that gives us nuance and tactics when dealing with our earthly time and relationships. Jesus tells us to be shrewd like people can be when trying to get ahead. They do that for temporary gain, but Jesus wants us to use that tenacity for the kingdom and eternal blessings. Be aggressive in reaching the lost. Be willing to fully invest yourself into the ministry even if it costs more. Use temporary things to maximize eternal conversations. This sermon gives us a lot of practical ideas to think about and to wrestle with as we steward our time, talents and gifts to God's glory and for the expansion of His kingdom. 






Our Sermon Text: Luke 16:1-13


Jesus told his disciples: "There was a rich man whose manager was accused of wasting his possessions. 2 So he called him in and asked him, 'What is this I hear about you? Give an account of your management, because you cannot be manager any longer.'


3 "The manager said to himself, 'What shall I do now? My master is taking away my job. I'm not strong enough to dig, and I'm ashamed to beg-- 4 I know what I'll do so that, when I lose my job here, people will welcome me into their houses.'


5 "So he called in each one of his master's debtors. He asked the first, 'How much do you owe my master?'


6 "'Nine hundred gallons of olive oil,' he replied.


"The manager told him, 'Take your bill, sit down quickly, and make it four hundred and fifty.'


7 "Then he asked the second, 'And how much do you owe?'


"'A thousand bushels of wheat,' he replied.


"He told him, 'Take your bill and make it eight hundred.'


8 "The master commended the dishonest manager because he had acted shrewdly. For the people of this world are more shrewd in dealing with their own kind than are the people of the light. 9 I tell you, use worldly wealth to gain friends for yourselves, so that when it is gone, you will be welcomed into eternal dwellings.


10 "Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much. 11 So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches? 12 And if you have not been trustworthy with someone else's property, who will give you property of your own?


13 "No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money."]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Sermon Series: Wounds That Heal


Not all wounds are bad. A skilled surgeon takes a deadly sharp scalpel and cuts through flesh and muscle. The result of that wound: not harm, but healing. In the same way, we often say that words cut us to the heart. Words can wound. Sometimes, however, those painful words provide the very healing we need.


This Sermon's Focus:


What is our acceptable loss when it comes to people? Are we good if only 30% make it through? 60% like us? 90%? God's acceptable loss for humanity is 0%. He wants all to be saved. Many reject him and not all are saved, but that does not mean God isn't fully committed to every single one. And he wants us to be onboard with his mission and find the lost no matter the cost. 






Our Sermon Text: Luke 15:1-10 


Now the tax collectors and sinners were all gathering around to hear Jesus. 2 But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law muttered, "This man welcomes sinners and eats with them."


3 Then Jesus told them this parable: 4 "Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn't he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? 5 And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders 6 and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, 'Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.' 7 I tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.


8 "Or suppose a woman has ten silver coins and loses one. Doesn't she light a lamp, sweep the house and search carefully until she finds it? 9 And when she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together and says, 'Rejoice with me; I have found my lost coin.' 10 In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents."]]></content:encoded>

New Bible Study: Living My Life as a Christian


In the spring of 2011, the Adult Nurture Board at Grace Lutheran in Glendale, Arizona, recognized, through member feedback, that a normal membership or Bible information class didn't cover all the issues many felt would have been beneficial. They reasoned that a better grasp of the issues would not only help them in their walk with Christ and one another but also lead them to a more joyous celebration of their faith.


Their feedback came in response to the following question: "What do you need to know better, as a Christian, that was not covered by our Bible information class?" Over a period of three years, the following class was developed and subsequently taught to hundreds of members of Grace.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Sermon Series: Wounds That Heal


Not all wounds are bad. A skilled surgeon takes a deadly sharp scalpel and cuts through flesh and muscle. The result of that wound: not harm, but healing. In the same way, we often say that words cut us to the heart. Words can wound. Sometimes, however, those painful words provide the very healing we need.


This Sermon's Focus:


Pastor Titus actually encourages us to count the cost of being a Christian. Many of us probably underestimated that price or were told that being a Christian would make life easier. Jesus, however, makes very clear to his disciples that it is very costly to follow him. However, he also makes the case that it is worth it, every bit. So in this sermon, Pastor Titus encourages us to recount the prize at the end of this life and the beginning of eternity.






Our Sermon Text: Luke 14:25-35


Large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and turning to them he said: 26 "If anyone comes to me and does not hate father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters--yes, even their own life--such a person cannot be my disciple. 27 And whoever does not carry their cross and follow me cannot be my disciple.


28 "Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Won't you first sit down and estimate the cost to see if you have enough money to complete it? 29 For if you lay the foundation and are not able to finish it, everyone who sees it will ridicule you, 30 saying, 'This person began to build and wasn't able to finish.'


31 "Or suppose a king is about to go to war against another king. Won't he first sit down and consider whether he is able with ten thousand men to oppose the one coming against him with twenty thousand? 32 If he is not able, he will send a delegation while the other is still a long way off and will ask for terms of peace. 33 In the same way, those of you who do not give up everything you have cannot be my disciples.


34 "Salt is good, but if it loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? 35 It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile; it is thrown out.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Sermon Series: Wounds That Heal


Not all wounds are bad. A skilled surgeon takes a deadly sharp scalpel and cuts through flesh and muscle. The result of that wound: not harm, but healing. In the same way, we often say that words cut us to the heart. Words can wound. Sometimes, however, those painful words provide the very healing we need.


This Sermon's Focus:


Pastor Titus explores the theme of healing through humility, emphasizing that God's wounds are intentional for our growth. He discusses the importance of humility in our lives, drawing from biblical wisdom in Proverbs and James, and illustrates these lessons through the parable of the wedding feast. This sermon challenges listeners to reflect on whose honor they are seeking and highlights the significance of Jesus' sacrifice in granting us true honor. 






Our Sermon Text: Luke 14:1, 7-14One Sabbath, when Jesus went to eat in the house of a prominent Pharisee, he was being carefully watched.


When he noticed how the guests picked the places of honor at the table, he told them this parable: 8 "When someone invites you to a wedding feast, do not take the place of honor, for a person more distinguished than you may have been invited. 9 If so, the host who invited both of you will come and say to you, 'Give this person your seat.' Then, humiliated, you will have to take the least important place. 10 But when you are invited, take the lowest place, so that when your host comes, he will say to you, 'Friend, move up to a better place.' Then you will be honored in the presence of all the other guests. 11 For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted."


12 Then Jesus said to his host, "When you give a luncheon or dinner, do not invite your friends, your brothers or sisters, your relatives, or your rich neighbors; if you do, they may invite you back and so you will be repaid. 13 But when you give a banquet, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, 14 and you will be blessed. Although they cannot repay you, you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous."]]></content:encoded>

In the same way, we often say that words cut us to the heart. Words can wound. Sometimes, however, those painful words provide the very healing we need.


This Sermon's Focus: Make Every Effort to Enter Through the Narrow Door


Pastor Titus explores the concept of the 'narrow door' to salvation, highlighting the importance of knowing Jesus as the only way to eternal life. The conversation addresses the common question of whether only a few will be saved, providing comfort and assurance that salvation is based on faith in Jesus rather than personal merit. The message encourages listeners to make every effort to know Jesus intimately and to trust in his guidance for their spiritual journey.






Our Sermon Text: Luke 13:22-30


Then Jesus went through the towns and villages, teaching as he made his way to Jerusalem. 23 Someone asked him, "Lord, are only a few people going to be saved?"


He said to them, 24 "Make every effort to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able to. 25 Once the owner of the house gets up and closes the door, you will stand outside knocking and pleading, 'Sir, open the door for us.'


"But he will answer, 'I don't know you or where you come from.'


26 "Then you will say, 'We ate and drank with you, and you taught in our streets.'


27 "But he will reply, 'I don't know you or where you come from. Away from me, all you evildoers!'


28 "There will be weeping there, and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God, but you yourselves thrown out. 29 People will come from east and west and north and south, and will take their places at the feast in the kingdom of God. 30 Indeed there are those who are last who will be first, and first who will be last."]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Sermon Series: Wounds That Heal


Not all wounds are bad. A skilled surgeon takes a deadly sharp scalpel and cuts through flesh and muscle. The result of that wound: not harm, but healing. In the same way, we often say that words cut us to the heart. Words can wound. Sometimes, however, those painful words provide the very healing we need.


"Jesus went through the towns and villages, teaching as he made his way to Jerusalem" (Luke 13:22). Jesus knows that when he gets to Jerusalem, he is going to die. So, with a sense of extreme urgency, Jesus shares truths we need to hear, even though it hurts to hear them. In this series, we might not like everything that Jesus says. Yet, to ignore what Jesus teaches is to court eternal death. Hard as it may be,let us listen and take all that Jesus says to heart. For while Jesus speaks words that wound us, his intent is to heal our very soul.


This Sermon's Focus: Is Jesus Mean?


Pastor Titus discusses how we can understand Jesus' words about division, and still believe in the nature of His goodness. The sermon clarifies what kind of peace Jesus brings and how that peace is much more valuable than temporary "nice-ness."






Our Sermon Text: Luke 12:49-53"I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled! 50 But I have a baptism to undergo, and what constraint I am under until it is completed! 51 Do you think I came to bring peace on earth? No, I tell you, but division. 52 From now on there will be five in one family divided against each other, three against two and two against three. 53 They will be divided, father against son and son against father, mother against daughter and daughter against mother, mother-in-law against daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law against mother-in-law."]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[This Sermon's Focus:


In this sermon, Pastor Titus emphasizes the importance of focusing on eternal treasures rather than temporary ones. He draws on the story of Abraham to illustrate faith and trust in God's promises, encouraging the congregation to embrace their identity as strangers in this world while living as citizens of heaven. 






Our Sermon Text: Hebrews 11:103, 8-16


Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see. 2 This is what the ancients were commended for.


3 By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God's command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.


By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going. 9 By faith he made his home in the promised land like a stranger in a foreign country; he lived in tents, as did Isaac and Jacob, who were heirs with him of the same promise. 10 For he was looking forward to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God. 11 And by faith even Sarah, who was past childbearing age, was enabled to bear children because she[a (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Hebrews%2011%3A1-3%2C%208-16&amp;version=NIV#fen-NIV-30184a) ] considered him faithful who had made the promise. 12 And so from this one man, and he as good as dead, came descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as countless as the sand on the seashore.


13 All these people were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised; they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance, admitting that they were foreigners and strangers on earth. 14 People who say such things show that they are looking for a country of their own. 15 If they had been thinking of the country they had left, they would have had opportunity to return. 16 Instead, they were longing for a better country--a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared a city for them.]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Sermon Focus:


In this sermon, Rev. Reuben Schmitz explores the themes of faith, the meaning of life, and the importance of community engagement through mission work. He reflects on the teachings of Solomon from Ecclesiastes, emphasizing that material wealth is ultimately meaningless and that true satisfaction comes from faith in God and serving others. The sermon also highlights the significance of finding purpose in work and the joy of sharing one's faith with the community.






Our Sermon Text: Ecclesiastes 1:1-2, 12-14; 2:18-26


The words of the Teacher, son of David, king in Jerusalem:


2 "Meaningless! Meaningless!"
    says the Teacher.
"Utterly meaningless!
    Everything is meaningless."I, the Teacher, was king over Israel in Jerusalem. 13 I applied my mind to study and to explore by wisdom all that is done under the heavens. What a heavy burden God has laid on mankind! 14 I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind.


I hated all the things I had toiled for under the sun, because I must leave them to the one who comes after me. 19 And who knows whether that person will be wise or foolish? Yet they will have control over all the fruit of my toil into which I have poured my effort and skill under the sun. This too is meaningless. 20 So my heart began to despair over all my toilsome labor under the sun. 21 For a person may labor with wisdom, knowledge and skill, and then they must leave all they own to another who has not toiled for it. This too is meaningless and a great misfortune. 22 What do people get for all the toil and anxious striving with which they labor under the sun? 23 All their days their work is grief and pain; even at night their minds do not rest. This too is meaningless.


24 A person can do nothing better than to eat and drink and find satisfaction in their own toil. This too, I see, is from the hand of God, 25 for without him, who can eat or find enjoyment? 26 To the person who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness, but to the sinner he gives the task of gathering and storing up wealth to hand it over to the one who pleases God. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.]]></content:encoded>

He emphasizes the importance of interceding for others and understanding that God's ultimate desire is for all people to be saved. The discussion also highlights the need for unity in mission and the call for individuals to actively share the gospel in their communities.






Our Sermon Text: 1 Timothy 2:1-7I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people-- 2 for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. 3 This is good, and pleases God our Savior, 4 who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave himself as a ransom for all people. This has now been witnessed to at the proper time. 7 And for this purpose I was appointed a herald and an apostle--I am telling the truth, I am not lying--and a true and faithful teacher of the Gentiles.]]></content:encoded>

Sermon Text: Luke 10:38-42


As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. 39 She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet listening to what he said. 40 But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, "Lord, don't you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!"


41 "Martha, Martha," the Lord answered, "you are worried and upset about many things, 42 but few things are needed--or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her."]]></content:encoded>

In the days when the judges ruled, there was a famine in the land. So a man from Bethlehem in Judah, together with his wife and two sons, went to live for a while in the country of Moab. 2 The man's name was Elimelek, his wife's name was Naomi, and the names of his two sons were Mahlon and Kilion. They were Ephrathites from Bethlehem, Judah. And they went to Moab and lived there.


3 Now Elimelek, Naomi's husband, died, and she was left with her two sons. 4 They married Moabite women, one named Orpah and the other Ruth. After they had lived there about ten years, 5 both Mahlon and Kilion also died, and Naomi was left without her two sons and her husband.


6 When Naomi heard in Moab that the Lord had come to the aid of his people by providing food for them, she and her daughters-in-law prepared to return home from there. 7 With her two daughters-in-law she left the place where she had been living and set out on the road that would take them back to the land of Judah.


8 Then Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, "Go back, each of you, to your mother's home. May the Lord show you kindness, as you have shown kindness to your dead husbands and to me. 9 May the Lord grant that each of you will find rest in the home of another husband."


Then she kissed them goodbye and they wept aloud 10 and said to her, "We will go back with you to your people."


11 But Naomi said, "Return home, my daughters. Why would you come with me? Am I going to have any more sons, who could become your husbands? 12 Return home, my daughters; I am too old to have another husband. Even if I thought there was still hope for me--even if I had a husband tonight and then gave birth to sons-- 13 would you wait until they grew up? Would you remain unmarried for them? No, my daughters. It is more bitter for me than for you, because the Lord's hand has turned against me!"


14 At this they wept aloud again. Then Orpah kissed her mother-in-law goodbye, but Ruth clung to her.


15 "Look," said Naomi, "your sister-in-law is going back to her people and her gods. Go back with her."


16 But Ruth replied, "Don't urge me to leave you or to turn back from you. Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and your God my God. 17 Where you die I will die, and there I will be buried. May the Lord deal with me, be it ever so severely, if even death separates you and me." 18 When Naomi realized that Ruth was determined to go with her, she stopped urging her.


19 So the two women went on until they came to Bethlehem.]]></content:encoded>

In this episode, Pastor Gunnar Ledermann and Pastor Titus Buelow continue looking at John's second short letter where he calls out decievers as antichrists, those standing directly opposed to the truth. He tells us not only to identify them, but then to stand apart from them. Do not even welcome them, John says, because their twisting of Scripture is so dangerous and such a slippery slope. There is a lot of application for us in those key points!

After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them two by two ahead of him to every town and place where he was about to go. 2 He told them, "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field. 3 Go! I am sending you out like lambs among wolves. 4 Do not take a purse or bag or sandals; and do not greet anyone on the road.


5 "When you enter a house, first say, 'Peace to this house.' 6 If someone who promotes peace is there, your peace will rest on them; if not, it will return to you. 7 Stay there, eating and drinking whatever they give you, for the worker deserves his wages. Do not move around from house to house.


8 "When you enter a town and are welcomed, eat what is offered to you. 9 Heal the sick who are there and tell them, 'The kingdom of God has come near to you.' 10 But when you enter a town and are not welcomed, go into its streets and say, 11 'Even the dust of your town we wipe from our feet as a warning to you. Yet be sure of this: The kingdom of God has come near.' 12 I tell you, it will be more bearable on that day for Sodom than for that town.


16 "Whoever listens to you listens to me; whoever rejects you rejects me; but whoever rejects me rejects him who sent me."


17 The seventy-two returned with joy and said, "Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name."


18 He replied, "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. 19 I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you. 20 However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven."]]></content:encoded>

In this episode, Pastor Gunnar Ledermann and Pastor Titus Buelow key off on John's powerful call to remain children of God by relying and holding on to the truth no matter what! John warns that so many will come and try to pull you away from the truth by "selling" some "new" idea or concept. But watch out if anything they say leads away from Jesus Christ and his sufficiency for salvation. We only need Jesus and him alone!

They sailed to the region of the Gerasenes, which is across the lake from Galilee. 27 When Jesus stepped ashore, he was met by a demon-possessed man from the town. For a long time this man had not worn clothes or lived in a house, but had lived in the tombs. 28 When he saw Jesus, he cried out and fell at his feet, shouting at the top of his voice, "What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg you, don't torture me!" 29 For Jesus had commanded the impure spirit to come out of the man. Many times it had seized him, and though he was chained hand and foot and kept under guard, he had broken his chains and had been driven by the demon into solitary places.


30 Jesus asked him, "What is your name?"


"Legion," he replied, because many demons had gone into him. 31 And they begged Jesus repeatedly not to order them to go into the Abyss.


32 A large herd of pigs was feeding there on the hillside. The demons begged Jesus to let them go into the pigs, and he gave them permission. 33 When the demons came out of the man, they went into the pigs, and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and was drowned.


34 When those tending the pigs saw what had happened, they ran off and reported this in the town and countryside, 35 and the people went out to see what had happened. When they came to Jesus, they found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting at Jesus' feet, dressed and in his right mind; and they were afraid. 36 Those who had seen it told the people how the demon-possessed man had been cured. 37 Then all the people of the region of the Gerasenes asked Jesus to leave them, because they were overcome with fear. So he got into the boat and left.


38 The man from whom the demons had gone out begged to go with him, but Jesus sent him away, saying, 39 "Return home and tell how much God has done for you." So the man went away and told all over town how much Jesus had done for him.]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[This sermon explores the significance of the Holy Spirit, particularly during Pentecost, and contrasts it with the events at Babel. Pastor Titus emphasizes the limitations of the human spirit in achieving salvation and the transformative power of the Holy Spirit alone to grant us saving faith. He discusses the birth of the Christian Church and the importance of repentance and belief in Jesus Christ made possible through the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Pastor Buelow concludes with a call to be empowered by the Holy Spirit through the means he gives us, Scripture, Baptism, the Lord's Supper, and our regular worship together.






Sermon Text: Acts 2:1-21


When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. 2 Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. 4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.


5 Now there were staying in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven. 6 When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard their own language being spoken. 7 Utterly amazed, they asked: "Aren't all these who are speaking Galileans? 8 Then how is it that each of us hears them in our native language? 9 Parthians, Medes and Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, 10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene; visitors from Rome 11 (both Jews and converts to Judaism); Cretans and Arabs--we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!" 12 Amazed and perplexed, they asked one another, "What does this mean?"


13 Some, however, made fun of them and said, "They have had too much wine."


14 Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, raised his voice and addressed the crowd: "Fellow Jews and all of you who live in Jerusalem, let me explain this to you; listen carefully to what I say. 15 These people are not drunk, as you suppose. It's only nine in the morning! 16 No, this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:


17 "'In the last days, God says,
    I will pour out my Spirit on all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy,
    your young men will see visions,
    your old men will dream dreams.
18 Even on my servants, both men and women,
    I will pour out my Spirit in those days,
    and they will prophesy.
19 I will show wonders in the heavens above
    and signs on the earth below,
    blood and fire and billows of smoke.
20 The sun will be turned to darkness
    and the moon to blood
    before the coming of the great and glorious day of the Lord.
21 And everyone who calls
    on the name of the Lord will be saved.']]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Pastor Tom Schmidt emphasizes the importance of humility, confession, and reliance on God's grace during times of trouble. He discusses the role of community support and the need for self-control and alertness against temptation. The message encourages believers to cast their anxieties on God and to remember that they are not alone in their struggles, as many face similar challenges.






The Sermon Text - 1 Peter 5:5-11


 In the same way, you who are younger, submit yourselves to your elders. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because,


"God opposes the proud
    but shows favor to the humble."


6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. 7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.


8 Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. 9 Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.


10 And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. 11 To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen.]]></content:encoded>

The service includes confirmation for young members, emphasizing their journey in faith and the support of the community. 


Sermon Text: Acts 9:1-22


Meanwhile, Saul was still breathing out murderous threats against the Lord's disciples. He went to the high priest 2 and asked him for letters to the synagogues in Damascus, so that if he found any there who belonged to the Way, whether men or women, he might take them as prisoners to Jerusalem. 3 As he neared Damascus on his journey, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him. 4 He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, "Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?"


5 "Who are you, Lord?" Saul asked.


"I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting," he replied. 6 "Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do."


7 The men traveling with Saul stood there speechless; they heard the sound but did not see anyone. 8 Saul got up from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he could see nothing. So they led him by the hand into Damascus. 9 For three days he was blind, and did not eat or drink anything.


10 In Damascus there was a disciple named Ananias. The Lord called to him in a vision, "Ananias!"


"Yes, Lord," he answered.


11 The Lord told him, "Go to the house of Judas on Straight Street and ask for a man from Tarsus named Saul, for he is praying. 12 In a vision he has seen a man named Ananias come and place his hands on him to restore his sight."


13 "Lord," Ananias answered, "I have heard many reports about this man and all the harm he has done to your holy people in Jerusalem. 14 And he has come here with authority from the chief priests to arrest all who call on your name."


15 But the Lord said to Ananias, "Go! This man is my chosen instrument to proclaim my name to the Gentiles and their kings and to the people of Israel. 16 I will show him how much he must suffer for my name."


17 Then Ananias went to the house and entered it. Placing his hands on Saul, he said, "Brother Saul, the Lord--Jesus, who appeared to you on the road as you were coming here--has sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy Spirit." 18 Immediately, something like scales fell from Saul's eyes, and he could see again. He got up and was baptized, 19 and after taking some food, he regained his strength.


Saul spent several days with the disciples in Damascus. 20 At once he began to preach in the synagogues that Jesus is the Son of God. 21 All those who heard him were astonished and asked, "Isn't he the man who raised havoc in Jerusalem among those who call on this name? And hasn't he come here to take them as prisoners to the chief priests?" 22 Yet Saul grew more and more powerful and baffled the Jews living in Damascus by proving that Jesus is the Messiah.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Pastor Titus discusses the significance of the resurrection of Jesus and its impact on believers' lives. He emphasizes the transformation of the disciples from fearful individuals to bold witnesses of Christ, highlighting the importance of faith, the role of the Holy Spirit, and the assurance that comes from believing in a living Savior. The sermon encourages listeners to embrace their faith and share the message of hope and salvation.






The Sermon Text: Acts 5:12, 17-32


The apostles performed many signs and wonders among the people. And all the believers used to meet together in Solomon's Colonnade.


Then the high priest and all his associates, who were members of the party of the Sadducees, were filled with jealousy. 18 They arrested the apostles and put them in the public jail. 19 But during the night an angel of the Lord opened the doors of the jail and brought them out. 20 "Go, stand in the temple courts," he said, "and tell the people all about this new life."


21 At daybreak they entered the temple courts, as they had been told, and began to teach the people.


When the high priest and his associates arrived, they called together the Sanhedrin--the full assembly of the elders of Israel--and sent to the jail for the apostles. 22 But on arriving at the jail, the officers did not find them there. So they went back and reported, 23 "We found the jail securely locked, with the guards standing at the doors; but when we opened them, we found no one inside." 24 On hearing this report, the captain of the temple guard and the chief priests were at a loss, wondering what this might lead to.


25 Then someone came and said, "Look! The men you put in jail are standing in the temple courts teaching the people." 26 At that, the captain went with his officers and brought the apostles. They did not use force, because they feared that the people would stone them.


27 The apostles were brought in and made to appear before the Sanhedrin to be questioned by the high priest. 28 "We gave you strict orders not to teach in this name," he said. "Yet you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and are determined to make us guilty of this man's blood."


29 Peter and the other apostles replied: "We must obey God rather than human beings! 30 The God of our ancestors raised Jesus from the dead--whom you killed by hanging him on a cross. 31 God exalted him to his own right hand as Prince and Savior that he might bring Israel to repentance and forgive their sins. 32 We are witnesses of these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him."]]></content:encoded>

However, the Bible does talk about one sin that is not forgivable. What could that be and how does that track with a gracious God who wants to forgive and save all people?

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[What does it mean, that Jesus rose from the dead? What does it mean for you that someone rose from the dead who promises he can give that power to anyone who believes in him? It means that death has lost its sting. It means that death is not the final word in our existence. It means that we can have hope beyond the grave. This reality has profound impact on how we live and order our lives here before death. If eternal life is possible and more, assured, we can live as if there is always a tomorrow. Not only a tomorrow, but the tomorrow with God in true peace and joy without sin, death and our enemy the devil. We can't wait!


Sermon Text: 1 Corinthians 15:51-57


Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed-- 52 in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. 53 For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. 54 When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: "Death has been swallowed up in victory."


55 "Where, O death, is your victory?
    Where, O death, is your sting?"


56 The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. 57 But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.]]></content:encoded>

Mary and the other disciples were in the process of wrapping their heads and hearts around that reality when all of a sudden he was back. Jesus was alive! Now what does this mean, that your leader was killed but is now alive again? What does it teach you that he comes with peace and joy and commission? It means a totally new identity. 






Sermon Text: John 20:1-18


Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance. 2 So she came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, and said, "They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don't know where they have put him!"


3 So Peter and the other disciple started for the tomb. 4 Both were running, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. 5 He bent over and looked in at the strips of linen lying there but did not go in. 6 Then Simon Peter came along behind him and went straight into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying there, 7 as well as the cloth that had been wrapped around Jesus' head. The cloth was still lying in its place, separate from the linen. 8 Finally the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went inside. He saw and believed. 9 (They still did not understand from Scripture that Jesus had to rise from the dead.) 10 Then the disciples went back to where they were staying.


11 Now Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb 12 and saw two angels in white, seated where Jesus' body had been, one at the head and the other at the foot.


13 They asked her, "Woman, why are you crying?"


"They have taken my Lord away," she said, "and I don't know where they have put him." 14 At this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realize that it was Jesus.


15 He asked her, "Woman, why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?"


Thinking he was the gardener, she said, "Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will get him."


16 Jesus said to her, "Mary."


She turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic, "Rabboni!" (which means "Teacher").


17 Jesus said, "Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, 'I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.'"


18 Mary Magdalene went to the disciples with the news: "I have seen the Lord!" And she told them that he had said these things to her.]]></content:encoded>

The innocent Son of God, the Messiah, dies for the sins of the world. What a testament to God's faithfulness to humanity! He promised he would save Adam and Eve so many years ago. That promise was for them and for all of their children. Even though generations of humans have come, and all of them sinful and doing so many terrible things, God remained faithful to his promise. Jesus is the culmination of that promise being fulfilled in time. God became flesh for this reason, that he could carry our sins and be crushed for it. But this is not where the story ends for Jesus or for us. His words give us hope that this was all part of the plan to give access to new life, resurrection, and eternity in the very presence of God forever.]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[This year's Maundy Thursday Service featured a series of readings from this well documented day before Jesus died. He taught his disciples to serve one another as he served them. He gave them a new covenant based in his body and his blood. He urged them to watch and pray with him as he intensely prayed to our Heavenly Father about the cup he was about to drink. Then under cover of night, the leaders came for him and Judas betrayed Jesus into the hands of men, all as Jesus had foretold. What can we learn from each of these scenes? What grace do we perceive in every step Jesus took to the cross? Join us for this contemplative journey.]]></content:encoded>

In this episode, Pastor Gunnar Ledermann and Pastor Titus Buelow wrestle with what it means that the Bible is God's Word not human opinion or wisdom. That is a big deal! The words we have recorded for us are the very ideas and thoughts of God. While God wrote through the brain and the pen of humans, they did not write their own ideas. They wrote down what God inspired them to write. That means we have to consider the words of the Bible totally different than the words of a textbook or a novel. These words ARE truth. This transcends our feelings, our culture, or our opinions. We must let God's Word supersede all else and therefore be the means by which we interpret everything else.

Then Pastor Titus Buelow preached about Philippians 2, focusing on the attitude Jesus had despite being the King of Kings. That attitude is our reason for hope, our model, and our inspiration as humans interacting with each other. 






Sermon Text - Philippians 2:5-11


In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death-- even death on a cross! Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under theearth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christis Lord, to the glory of God the Father.]]></content:encoded>

In this episode, Pastor Gunnar Ledermann and Pastor Titus Buelow discuss what it means that we are children of God. What is different about us? How do we act? How do we treat other siblings in the family of God? John makes clear that children of God love. They also love God's other children. They want to please their heavenly Father. That is just what children of God do.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[The Sermon Text: 


If someone else thinks they have reasons to put confidence in the flesh, I have more: 5 circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; in regard to the law, a Pharisee; 6 as for zeal, persecuting the church; as for righteousness based on the law, faultless.


7 But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. 8 What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ 9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ--the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith. 10 I want to know Christ--yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, 11 and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead.


12 Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. 13 Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, 14 I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.






This sermon was preached on April 6, 2025 by Rev. Titus Buelow at St. Peter's Lutheran Church in Helenville, WI.]]></content:encoded>

In this episode, Pastor Gunnar Ledermann and Pastor Titus Buelow talk ALL about love. We can't love without God, not really. Sure, we can try. We can do a pretty good job on the outside and we can make life comfortable for someone else or maybe several others. But the deepest needs and the deepest evils... those we can't begin to touch, heal or take away... unless we have God's love through Jesus. He alone has enough compassion and selflessness to save us. He alone has the power and the ability to remove the sickness and replace it with never ending grace and mercy. We need God to love us and we need God to love through us.

Now the tax collectors and sinners were all gathering around to hear Jesus. 2 But the Pharisees and the teachers of the law muttered, "This man welcomes sinners and eats with them."


3 Then Jesus told them this parable:


Jesus continued: "There was a man who had two sons. 12 The younger one said to his father, 'Father, give me my share of the estate.' So he divided his property between them.


13 "Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth in wild living. 14 After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he began to be in need. 15 So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs. 16 He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything.


17 "When he came to his senses, he said, 'How many of my father's hired servants have food to spare, and here I am starving to death! 18 I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. 19 I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired servants.' 20 So he got up and went to his father.


"But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.


21 "The son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.'


22 "But the father said to his servants, 'Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. 23 Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let's have a feast and celebrate. 24 For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.' So they began to celebrate.


25 "Meanwhile, the older son was in the field. When he came near the house, he heard music and dancing. 26 So he called one of the servants and asked him what was going on. 27 'Your brother has come,' he replied, 'and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound.'


28 "The older brother became angry and refused to go in. So his father went out and pleaded with him. 29 But he answered his father, 'Look! All these years I've been slaving for you and never disobeyed your orders. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends. 30 But when this son of yours who has squandered your property with prostitutes comes home, you kill the fattened calf for him!'


31 "'My son,' the father said, 'you are always with me, and everything I have is yours. 32 But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.'"

A Study of Philippians: Renewing Joy in Life


Here is the lesson 5 study guide:

Lesson 5 - Philippians 4:1-23 - "Rejoice Because the Gospel Reigns in Your Life"


How can we "not be anxious about anything?" How can we "be content in any and all circumstances?" These are big questions that demand a big and powerful answer. The good news is God delivers those big and powerful answers right to our hearts. In this lesson, Paul gives lots of practical advice on how to fight anxiety and how to learn the secret to contentment. Spoiler: They both center around knowing and believing in God's character and trusting him to work through good and bad times for our ultimate good. Listen in for more!






The Text:


Therefore, my brothers and sisters, you whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, stand firm in the Lord in this way, dear friends!


2 I plead with Euodia and I plead with Syntyche to be of the same mind in the Lord. 3 Yes, and I ask you, my true companion, help these women since they have contended at my side in the cause of the gospel, along with Clement and the rest of my co-workers, whose names are in the book of life.


4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.


8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things. 9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me--put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.


10 I rejoiced greatly in the Lord that at last you renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you were concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it. 11 I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. 12 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. 13 I can do all this through him who gives me strength.


14 Yet it was good of you to share in my troubles. 15 Moreover, as you Philippians know, in the early days of your acquaintance with the gospel, when I set out from Macedonia, not one church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving, except you only; 16 for even when I was in Thessalonica, you sent me aid more than once when I was in need. 17 Not that I desire your gifts; what I desire is that more be credited to your account. 18 I have received full payment and have more than enough. I am amply supplied, now that I have received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent. They are a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God. 19 And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.


20 To our God and Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen.]]></content:encoded>

Lesson 4 - Philippians 2:19-3:11 - "God's Workers and the Devil's Assassins"


In this section, Paul makes a big contrast between those who serve God and those who serve their own desires or worse, the Devil himself. You can tell the difference, says Paul. Those who love God and love his people will sacrifice for them. They will preach the truth no matter what it costs. They will be faithful in their personal study and desire for more Jesus and less other stuff. 


On the other hand, if the teacher or influencer doesn't care for the people, or love God's Word and its inerrant truth, then they are assassins of faith. They will destroy themselves and all who follow them. Beware!


Paul concludes by detailing his own transformation from a false teacher, fully convinced of his own righteousness, to a follower of Jesus, humbled and dedicated to the salvation of souls like his.






The Text:


I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, that I also may be cheered when I receive news about you. 20 I have no one else like him, who will show genuine concern for your welfare. 21 For everyone looks out for their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ. 22 But you know that Timothy has proved himself, because as a son with his father he has served with me in the work of the gospel. 23 I hope, therefore, to send him as soon as I see how things go with me. 24 And I am confident in the Lord that I myself will come soon.


25 But I think it is necessary to send back to you Epaphroditus, my brother, co-worker and fellow soldier, who is also your messenger, whom you sent to take care of my needs. 26 For he longs for all of you and is distressed because you heard he was ill. 27 Indeed he was ill, and almost died. But God had mercy on him, and not on him only but also on me, to spare me sorrow upon sorrow. 28 Therefore I am all the more eager to send him, so that when you see him again you may be glad and I may have less anxiety. 29 So then, welcome him in the Lord with great joy, and honor people like him, 30 because he almost died for the work of Christ. He risked his life to make up for the help you yourselves could not give me.


3 Further, my brothers and sisters, rejoice in the Lord! It is no trouble for me to write the same things to you again, and it is a safeguard for you. 2 Watch out for those dogs, those evildoers, those mutilators of the flesh. 3 For it is we who are the circumcision, we who serve God by his Spirit, who boast in Christ Jesus, and who put no confidence in the flesh-- 4 though I myself have reasons for such confidence.


If someone else thinks they have reasons to put confidence in the flesh, I have more: 5 circumcised on the eighth day, of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of Hebrews; in regard to the law, a Pharisee; 6 as for zeal, persecuting the church; as for righteousness based on the law, faultless.


7 But whatever were gains to me I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. 8 What is more, I consider everything a loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them garbage, that I may gain Christ 9 and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ--the righteousness that comes from God on the basis of faith. 10 I want to know Christ--yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, 11 and so, somehow, attaining to the resurrection from the dead.]]></content:encoded>

A Study of Philippians: Renewing Joy in Life

Lesson 3 - Philippians 2:1-11 - "Unity through Humility"


How do we stay united when we are so different? How can we get along as a group of believers? This should be easy, but it's not, is it? One key concept throughout Scripture that is emphasized here is having HUMILITY. Just like Jesus humbled himself even unto death on a cross, so we can humble our mighty selves to serve our God and love our brothers and sisters!






The Text:


Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, 2 then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind. 3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, 4 not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.


5 In your relationships with one another, have the same mindset as Christ Jesus:


6 Who, being in very nature God,
    did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage;
7 rather, he made himself nothing
    by taking the very nature of a servant,
    being made in human likeness.
8 And being found in appearance as a man,
    he humbled himself
    by becoming obedient to death--
        even death on a cross!


9 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
    and gave him the name that is above every name,
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
    in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11 and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,
    to the glory of God the Father.]]></content:encoded>

Lesson 2 - Philippians 1:20-30 - "Christian Life is Hard. Don't Give Up!"


Why is being a Christian so hard? Did you think it would get easier? Why is suffering not a sign that Christianity is not working? Why can we endure, not just with frustration and exhaustion, but with joy and excitement? What can our Synod do to better communicate the REAL Christian reality?


The Text:


I eagerly expect and hope that I will in no way be ashamed, but will have sufficient courage so that now as always Christ will be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death. 21 For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. 22 If I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. Yet what shall I choose? I do not know! 23 I am torn between the two: I desire to depart and be with Christ, which is better by far; 24 but it is more necessary for you that I remain in the body. 25 Convinced of this, I know that I will remain, and I will continue with all of you for your progress and joy in the faith, 26 so that through my being with you again your boasting in Christ Jesus will abound on account of me.


27 Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in the one Spirit, striving together as one for the faith of the gospel 28 without being frightened in any way by those who oppose you. This is a sign to them that they will be destroyed, but that you will be saved--and that by God. 29 For it has been granted to you on behalf of Christ not only to believe in him, but also to suffer for him, 30 since you are going through the same struggle you saw I had, and now hear that I still have.]]></content:encoded>

Lesson 1 - Philippians 1:1-19 - "Joy No Matter What!"


How can we have joy no matter what comes? How does Paul have some street cred when it comes to saying this? Can anything be hard enough to make it not worth it if we have Jesus at the end guaranteed?


The Text:


Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus,


To all God's holy people in Christ Jesus at Philippi, together with the overseers and deacons:


2 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.


3 I thank my God every time I remember you. 4 In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy 5 because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, 6 being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.


7 It is right for me to feel this way about all of you, since I have you in my heart and, whether I am in chains or defending and confirming the gospel, all of you share in God's grace with me. 8 God can testify how I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus.


9 And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, 10 so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, 11 filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ--to the glory and praise of God.


12 Now I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that what has happened to me has actually served to advance the gospel. 13 As a result, it has become clear throughout the whole palace guard and to everyone else that I am in chains for Christ. 14 And because of my chains, most of the brothers and sisters have become confident in the Lord and dare all the more to proclaim the gospel without fear.


15 It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill. 16 The latter do so out of love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel. 17 The former preach Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing that they can stir up trouble for me while I am in chains. 18 But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice.


Yes, and I will continue to rejoice, 19 for I know that through your prayers and God's provision of the Spirit of Jesus Christ what has happened to me will turn out for my deliverance.]]></content:encoded>

In this episode, Pastor Gunnar Ledermann and Pastor Titus Buelow discuss how to NOT be like Cain, filled with ungratefulness, anger and unrepentance. Instead, be loving as we have so been loved by God. How do we do that? We admit our shortcomings and our need to be loved. We see and believe that Jesus died and rose FOR us simply because he loved us and not because we deserved any of it. Then, with this understanding of how much we have been loved, it becomes easy to share love freely with others.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Sermon Text: Luke 13:1-9


Now there were some present at that time who told Jesus about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices. 2 Jesus answered, "Do you think that these Galileans were worse sinners than all the other Galileans because they suffered this way? 3 I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish. 4 Or those eighteen who died when the tower in Siloam fell on them--do you think they were more guilty than all the others living in Jerusalem? 5 I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish."


6 Then he told this parable: "A man had a fig tree growing in his vineyard, and he went to look for fruit on it but did not find any. 7 So he said to the man who took care of the vineyard, 'For three years now I've been coming to look for fruit on this fig tree and haven't found any. Cut it down! Why should it use up the soil?'


8 "'Sir,' the man replied, 'leave it alone for one more year, and I'll dig around it and fertilize it. 9 If it bears fruit next year, fine! If not, then cut it down.'"






This sermon was first preached on March 23, 2025 by Titus Buelow at St. Peter's Lutheran Church in Helenville, WI.]]></content:encoded>

Join together in following my example, brothers and sisters, and just as you have us as a model, keep your eyes on those who live as we do. 18 For, as I have often told you before and now tell you again even with tears, many live as enemies of the cross of Christ. 19 Their destiny is destruction, their god is their stomach, and their glory is in their shame. Their mind is set on earthly things. 20 But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, 21 who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.


4 Therefore, my brothers and sisters, you whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, stand firm in the Lord in this way, dear friends!]]></content:encoded>

May the Word of God spoken through his called servant be a blessing to you.








Sermon Text - Revelation 12:7-12:



Then war broke out in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought back. But he was not strong enough, and they lost their place in heaven. The great dragon was hurled down--that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say:"Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Messiah. For the accuser of our brothers and sisters, who accuses them before our God day and night, has been hurled down.
They triumphed over him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.
Therefore rejoice, you heavens and you who dwell in them! But woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has gone down to you! He is filled with fury, because he knows that his time is short."]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[PBC = People's Bible Commentary Series 


In this episode, Pastor Gunnar Ledermann and Pastor Titus Buelow talk about what grounds us when false teachers come and try to deceive us. The best thing we can do is go back to what we know and cling to it. We know Jesus is the Savior. We know Jesus is the light. Anything that is different than him is not from him. Anything that contradicts what Jesus says is not from his mouth or his Word. And if anyone wants to add to Jesus or make you go back to a to-do list, they are pulling you away from the gospel that has freed you. Don't go back!

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[In this sermon, Pastor Titus explores the biblical story of David and Goliath, emphasizing the deeper spiritual implications of the battle. He discusses the significance of Goliath as a champion of the Philistines and contrasts him with David, who, despite being a young shepherd, steps forward in faith to confront the giant. The sermon highlights the theme of God as the true champion who empowers believers to face their own giants in life, ultimately pointing to Jesus as the ultimate champion who defeats sin and death.






The Sermon Text: 1 Samuel 17:4-11,32-40,45-49


A champion named Goliath, who was from Gath, came out of the Philistine camp. His height was six cubits and a span. He had a bronze helmet on his head and wore a coat of scale armor of bronze weighing five thousand shekels; on his legs he wore bronze greaves, and a bronze javelin was slung on his back. His spear shaft was like a weaver's rod, and its iron point weighed six hundred shekels. His shield bearer went ahead of him.


Goliath stood and shouted to the ranks of Israel, "Why do you come out and line up for battle? Am I not a Philistine, and are you not the servants of Saul? Choose a man and have him come down to me. If he is able to fight and kill me, we will become your subjects; but if I overcome him and kill him, you will become our subjects and serve us." Then the Philistine said, "This day I defy the armies of Israel! Give me a man and let us fight each other." On hearing the Philistine's words, Saul and all the Israelites were dismayed and terrified.


David said to Saul, "Let no one lose heart on account of this Philistine; your servant will go and fight him." Saul replied, "You are not able to go out against this Philistine and fight him; you are only a young man, and he has been a warrior from his youth." But David said to Saul, "Your servant has been keeping his father's sheep. When a lion or a bear came and carried off a sheep from the flock, I went after it, struck it and rescued the sheep from its mouth. When it turned on me, I seized it by its hair, struck it and killed it. Your servant haskilled both the lion and the bear; this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, because he has defied the armies of the living God. The Lord who rescued me from the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear will rescue me from the hand of this Philistine." Saul said to David, "Go, and the Lord be with you." Then Saul dressed David in his own tunic. He put a coat of armor on him and a bronze helmet on his head. David fastened on his sword over the tunic and tried walking around, because he was not used to them. "I cannot go in these," he said to Saul, "because I am not used to them." So he took them off. Then he took his staff in his hand, chose five smooth stones from the stream, put them in the pouch of his shepherd's bag and, with his sling in his hand, approached the Philistine.


David said to the Philistine, "You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. This day the Lord will deliver you into my hands, and I'll strike you down and cut off your head. This very day Iwill give the carcasses of the Philistine army to the birds and the wild animals, and the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel. All those gathered here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the Lord saves; for the battle is the Lord's, and he will give all of you into our hands."


As the Philistine moved closer to attack him, David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet him. Reaching into his bag and taking out a stone, he slung it and struck the Philistine on the forehead. The stone sank into his forehead, and he fell facedown on the ground.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[In this sermon, Pastor Titus explores the themes of God's glory, the purpose of the Ten Commandments, and the transformative power of Jesus in revealing God's character. He emphasizes the shift from the Old Covenant to the New Covenant, highlighting how Jesus allows believers to approach God without fear. The message conveys the hidden glory of the Christian faith, the freedom found in God's presence, and the assurance of being transformed into His image.






Sermon Text - 2 Corinthians 3:7-18


Now if the ministry that brought death, which was engraved in letters on stone, came with glory, so that the Israelites could not look steadily at the face of Moses because of its glory, transitory though it was, 8 will not the ministry of the Spirit be even more glorious? 9 If the ministry that brought condemnation was glorious, how much more glorious is the ministry that brings righteousness! 10 For what was glorious has no glory now in comparison with the surpassing glory. 11 And if what was transitory came with glory, how much greater is the glory of that which lasts!


12 Therefore, since we have such a hope, we are very bold. 13 We are not like Moses, who would put a veil over his face to prevent the Israelites from seeing the end of what was passing away. 14 But their minds were made dull, for to this day the same veil remains when the old covenant is read. It has not been removed, because only in Christ is it taken away. 15 Even to this day when Moses is read, a veil covers their hearts. 16 But whenever anyone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. 17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 18 And we all, who with unveiled faces contemplate the Lord's glory, are being transformed into his image with ever-increasing glory, which comes from the Lord, who is the Spirit.

In this episode, Pastor Gunnar Ledermann and Pastor Titus Buelow talk about THE Antichrist and antichrists. Yes, there is a difference and there are both! While other sections spend more time talking about one specific Antichrist, here John talks about the spirit of the antichrist that is present all over and will attack the church from within and without. There will be those who attempt to shift the focus from Christ to self, or from Christ to someone else. This may begin subtly, but more and more these leaders will pull the attention and the hope away from the one who can save us. This is why this is such a big deal! Listen in as we identify some modern fulfillments of this.

Sermon Text: Luke 6:27-38


But to you who are listening I say: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those whomistreat you. If someone slaps you on one cheek, turn to them the other also. If someone takes your coat, do not withhold your shirt from them. Giveto everyone who asks you, and if anyone takes what belongs to you, do not demand it back. Do to others as you would have them do to you.


"If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them. And if you do good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do that. And if you lend to those from whom you expect repayment, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, expecting to be repaid in full. But loveyour enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of theMost High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.


"Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."]]></content:encoded>

Sermon Text - Jeremiah 17:5-8


This is what the Lord says:


"Cursed is the one who trusts in man,
    who draws strength from mere flesh
    and whose heart turns away from the Lord.
6 That person will be like a bush in the wastelands;
    they will not see prosperity when it comes.
They will dwell in the parched places of the desert,
    in a salt land where no one lives.


7 "But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord,
    whose confidence is in him.
8 They will be like a tree planted by the water
    that sends out its roots by the stream.
It does not fear when heat comes;
    its leaves are always green.

The Sermon Text - Luke 5:1-11


One day as Jesus was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret, the people were crowding around him and listening to the word of God. 2 He saw at the water's edge two boats, left there by the fishermen, who were washing their nets. 3 He got into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, and asked him to put out a little from shore. Then he sat down and taught the people from the boat.


4 When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, "Put out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch."


5 Simon answered, "Master, we've worked hard all night and haven't caught anything. But because you say so, I will let down the nets."


6 When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to break. 7 So they signaled their partners in the other boat to come and help them, and they came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink.


8 When Simon Peter saw this, he fell at Jesus' knees and said, "Go away from me, Lord; I am a sinful man!" 9 For he and all his companions were astonished at the catch of fish they had taken, 10 and so were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, Simon's partners.


Then Jesus said to Simon, "Don't be afraid; from now on you will fish for people." 11 So they pulled their boats up on shore, left everything and followed him.]]></content:encoded>

In this episode, Pastor Gunnar Ledermann and Pastor Titus Buelow call on leaders to stand firm in the faith, considering the eternal benefit of their Christian leadership worth far more than the temporary consequences that may come. Everything in this life is fleeting anyway, and the desires and their satisfaction only last moments. In contrast though, the eternal blessings from believing and following God are eternal and will bring eternal joy for all who walk in the way of truth. Be inspired to stand firm and to have long term vision!

This conversation delves into what science is, a study of information that makes conclusions that best fit the data. Often science is talked about as being directly opposed to religion or faith, but this is not true. In fact, the Christian Church has been a huge advocate of science throughout history. The problem arises when we get to things that go beyond our data and we are called to make conclusions or guesses on things we don't know. This then requires faith regardless, faith in the scientist or faith in the source documents. Who you believe and what you believe then becomes a universal question for the scientist and the Christian. Tune in for more...

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[This episode has both a children's sermon and a full-length sermon delivered on February 2, 2025 by Pastor Titus Buelow at St. Peter's Helenville. 


Children's Sermon: I'm with Him!"


This episode begins with a children's sermon called, "I'm with Him!" inspired by Jeremiah 1:4-10:


The word of the Lord came to me, saying,


5 "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
    before you were born I set you apart;
    I appointed you as a prophet to the nations."


6 "Alas, Sovereign Lord," I said, "I do not know how to speak; I am too young."


7 But the Lord said to me, "Do not say, 'I am too young.' You must go to everyone I send you to and say whatever I command you. 8 Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you and will rescue you," declares the Lord.


9 Then the Lord reached out his hand and touched my mouth and said to me, "I have put my words in your mouth. 10 See, today I appoint you over nations and kingdoms to uproot and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and to plant."






Main Sermon: "How Do I Stay Confident?"


Then in the main sermon for February 2, a special service connected to our Winter Teen Retreat, Pastor Titus explores the theme, "How do I Stay Confident?" based on Luke 10:1-4,16-20. In this sermon, Pastor Titus emphasizes the importance of recognizing Jesus' presence and power in our lives, especially during challenging times. Through stories and scripture, he encourages listeners to find their confidence not in their own actions but in the assurance that their names are written in heaven, thanks to Jesus' sacrifice and love.


The Sermon Text: Luke 10:1-4,16-20


After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them two by two ahead of him to every town and place where he was about to go. 2 He told them, "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field. 3 Go! I am sending you out like lambs among wolves. 4 Do not take a purse or bag or sandals; and do not greet anyone on the road.


"Whoever listens to you listens to me; whoever rejects you rejects me; but whoever rejects me rejects him who sent me."


17 The seventy-two returned with joy and said, "Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name."


18 He replied, "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. 19 I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you. 20 However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven."

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[This episode has both a children's sermon and a full-length sermon delivered on February 2, 2025 by Pastor Titus Buelow at St. Peter's Helenville. 

Children's Sermon: I'm with Him!"
This episode begins with a children's sermon called, "I'm with Him!" inspired by Jeremiah 1:4-10:
The word of the Lord came to me, saying,
5 "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
    before you were born I set you apart;
    I appointed you as a prophet to the nations."
6 "Alas, Sovereign Lord," I said, "I do not know how to speak; I am too young."
7 But the Lord said to me, "Do not say, 'I am too young.' You must go to everyone I send you to and say whatever I command you. 8 Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you and will rescue you," declares the Lord.
9 Then the Lord reached out his hand and touched my mouth and said to me, "I have put my words in your mouth. 10 See, today I appoint you over nations and kingdoms to uproot and tear down, to destroy and overthrow, to build and to plant."


Main Sermon: "How Do I Stay Confident?"
Then in the main sermon for February 2, a special service connected to our Winter Teen Retreat, Pastor Titus explores the theme, "How do I Stay Confident?" based on Luke 10:1-4,16-20. In this sermon, Pastor Titus emphasizes the importance of recognizing Jesus' presence and power in our lives, especially during challenging times. Through stories and scripture, he encourages listeners to find their confidence not in their own actions but in the assurance that their names are written in heaven, thanks to Jesus' sacrifice and love.

The Sermon Text: Luke 10:1-4,16-20
After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them two by two ahead of him to every town and place where he was about to go. 2 He told them, "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into his harvest field. 3 Go! I am sending you out like lambs among wolves. 4 Do not take a purse or bag or sandals; and do not greet anyone on the road.
"Whoever listens to you listens to me; whoever rejects you rejects me; but whoever rejects me rejects him who sent me."
17 The seventy-two returned with joy and said, "Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name."
18 He replied, "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. 19 I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you. 20 However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven."

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[PBC = People's Bible Commentary Series 


In this episode, Pastor Gunnar Ledermann and Pastor Titus Buelow wrestle with hypocrites and hypocritical behavior INSIDE the church and INSIDE self-identified Christians. The Apostle John strongly says you can't be both, a believer in word but not a believer in deed (and specifically love!). What does this mean for you? For me? Is there a difference between struggling and consistently just "giving up and doing whatever?" (Hint: Yes, yes there is!) Tune in for more.

This conversation delves into the study of apologetics, focusing on the reliability of the New Testament through various lenses, including historical evidence, internal and external tests, and the significance of prophecy. The speakers discuss the means, motive, and opportunity of the gospel writers, the corroboration of historical figures, and the implications of the Dead Sea Scrolls. They also explore typology and how these elements collectively affirm the authenticity of scripture.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[This sermon explores the themes of Jesus' rejection in his hometown, the psychological concept of desensitization, and the dangers of becoming numb to sin and the need for salvation. It emphasizes the importance of self-reflection and recognizing our need for Jesus as our Savior, urging listeners to resensitize themselves to the Gospel and live out their faith actively.


This sermon was first delivered by Pastor Titus Buelow at St. Peter's Lutheran Church in Helenville, WI, on February 26, 2025. 






The Sermon Text: Luke 4:16-30


He went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom. He stood up to read, 17 and the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. Unrolling it, he found the place where it is written:


18 "The Spirit of the Lord is on me,
    because he has anointed me
    to proclaim good news to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners
    and recovery of sight for the blind,
to set the oppressed free,
19     to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor."


20 Then he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant and sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fastened on him. 21 He began by saying to them, "Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing."


22 All spoke well of him and were amazed at the gracious words that came from his lips. "Isn't this Joseph's son?" they asked.


23 Jesus said to them, "Surely you will quote this proverb to me: 'Physician, heal yourself!' And you will tell me, 'Do here in your hometown what we have heard that you did in Capernaum.'"


24 "Truly I tell you," he continued, "no prophet is accepted in his hometown. 25 I assure you that there were many widows in Israel in Elijah's time, when the sky was shut for three and a half years and there was a severe famine throughout the land. 26 Yet Elijah was not sent to any of them, but to a widow in Zarephath in the region of Sidon. 27 And there were many in Israel with leprosy in the time of Elisha the prophet, yet not one of them was cleansed--only Naaman the Syrian."


28 All the people in the synagogue were furious when they heard this. 29 They got up, drove him out of the town, and took him to the brow of the hill on which the town was built, in order to throw him off the cliff. 30 But he walked right through the crowd and went on his way.]]></content:encoded>

In this episode, Pastor Gunnar Ledermann and Pastor Titus Buelow begin a deep dive into the book of 1 John.

He lays the groundwork to attack a mislead separation of the physical and the spiritual.

In this episode, Pastor Gunnar Ledermann and Pastor Titus Buelow work through the first section of John's first letter. John returns to his use of meta-concepts like "the beginning," "light and darkness," "word and life." He does so here to complement his Gospel, but also to combat the influence of the Gnostics that have infiltrated the early Christian church, especially in Asia Minor at the time. They claimed all physical and material things were evil and immaterial in the grand scheme of things. John pushes back and makes clear the connection between body and soul, the material world and the spiritual life.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[This sermon explores the biblical account of the Wedding at Cana, where Jesus performs his first miracle by turning water into wine. The discussion delves into the significance of this event, highlighting Mary's role, Jesus' response, and the implications of the miracle for understanding God's care in our daily lives. The speaker emphasizes the importance of trusting God with our problems and recognizing that He answers prayers in ways beyond our expectations.






Delivered at St. Peter's Lutheran Church in Helenville, WI, on February 19, 2025 by Pastor Titus Buelow.






Sermon text - John 2:1-11


On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus' mother was there, 2 and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. 3 When the wine was gone, Jesus' mother said to him, "They have no more wine."


4 "Woman, why do you involve me?" Jesus replied. "My hour has not yet come."


5 His mother said to the servants, "Do whatever he tells you."


6 Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for ceremonial washing, each holding from twenty to thirty gallons.


7 Jesus said to the servants, "Fill the jars with water"; so they filled them to the brim.


8 Then he told them, "Now draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet."


They did so, 9 and the master of the banquet tasted the water that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew. Then he called the bridegroom aside 10 and said, "Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now."


11 What Jesus did here in Cana of Galilee was the first of the signs through which he revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in him.]]></content:encoded>

This introduction talks about our author, the Apostle John, and the setting and time for his writing later on in life to encourage local congregations to love as God has loved us. He was fighting some serious false teachers and false teaching that had already crept into the young Christian church. He did so to keep the heart of the faith, the love of God for us, front and center, and to help them and us understand how that love lives in us and shines through us.

The Sermon Text: Titus 3:4-7
But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life.]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[This is the first of a six-part Bible Study on the topic of Apologetics: Defense of the Faith. Here is a description of what the study is all about:




 WHAT IS APOLOGETICS?
 Apologetics is narrowly defined as "defending the Christian faith by reason with gentleness and respect."  The Apostle Peter writes:  "Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the  hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, keeping a clear conscience, so  that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of  their slander. 1 Peter 3:15-16



While we fully understand that you cannot reason someone into faith, we are not left without testimony  (Acts 14:17). "These are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and  that by believing you may have life in his name" (John 20:31). Christianity claims that Jesus rose from the dead, and if he didn't, the whole thing falls apart  (1 Corinthians 15). Christianity is a robust worldview that touches every part of life. 




WHAT IS THE GOAL OF APOLOGETICS?
 The apologetic task is to use every bit of knowledge available as we engage skeptics with the goal of 
proclaiming Christ crucified. We become all things to all people (1 Corinthians 9:18-23).  Think of apologetics as a ministry of caring. We care about skeptics and their thoughts. 








Lesson 1: An Introduction to Apologetics
This lesson provides some definitions, an example of apologetics, a brief word about reason and faith and, finally, some reasons why we should practice apologetics and some "rules" for apologetics.

Sermon Text: 1 Kings 10:1-9



When the queen of Sheba heard about the fame of Solomon and his relationship to the Lord, she came to test Solomon with hard questions. Arriving at Jerusalem with a very great caravan--with camels carrying spices, large quantities of gold, and precious stones--she came to Solomon and talked with him about all that she had on her mind. Solomon answered all her questions; nothing was too hard for the king to explain to her. When the queen of Sheba saw all the wisdom of Solomon and the palace he had built, the food on his table, the seating of his officials, the attending servants in their robes, his cupbearers, and the burnt offerings he made at the temple of the Lord, she was overwhelmed.



    6She said to the king, "The report I heard in my own country about your achievements and your wisdom is true. But I did not believe these things until I came and saw with my own eyes. Indeed, not even half was told me; in wisdom and wealth you have far exceeded the report I heard. How happy your people must be! How happy your officials, who continually stand before you and hear your wisdom! Praise be to the Lord your God, who has delighted in you and placed you on the throne of Israel. Because of the Lord's eternal love for Israel, he has made you king to maintain justice and righteousness."]]></content:encoded>

The Sermon Text - Luke 2:41-52



Every year Jesus' parents went to Jerusalem for the Festival of the Passover. 42 When he was twelve years old, they went up to the festival, according to the custom. 43 After the festival was over, while his parents were returning home, the boy Jesus stayed behind in Jerusalem, but they were unaware of it. 44 Thinking he was in their company, they traveled on for a day. Then they began looking for him among their relatives and friends. 45 When they did not find him, they went back to Jerusalem to look for him. 46 After three days they found him in the temple courts, sitting among the teachers, listening to them and asking them questions. 47 Everyone who heard him was amazed at his understanding and his answers. 48 When his parents saw him, they were astonished. His mother said to him, "Son, why have you treated us like this? Your father and I have been anxiously searching for you."



49 "Why were you searching for me?" he asked. "Didn't you know I had to be in my Father's house?" 50 But they did not understand what he was saying to them.



51 Then he went down to Nazareth with them and was obedient to them. But his mother treasured all these things in her heart. 52 And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man.]]></content:encoded>

The Sermon Text: Luke 1:39-55



At that time Mary got ready and hurried to a town in the hill country of Judea, 40 where she entered Zechariah's home and greeted Elizabeth. 41 When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the baby leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. 42 In a loud voice she exclaimed: "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the child you will bear! 43 But why am I so favored, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? 44 As soon as the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the baby in my womb leaped for joy. 45 Blessed is she who has believed that the Lord would fulfill his promises to her!"



46 And Mary said:



"My soul glorifies the Lord
47     and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
48 for he has been mindful
    of the humble state of his servant.
From now on all generations will call me blessed,
49     for the Mighty One has done great things for me--
    holy is his name.
50 His mercy extends to those who fear him,
    from generation to generation.
51 He has performed mighty deeds with his arm;
    he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts.
52 He has brought down rulers from their thrones
    but has lifted up the humble.
53 He has filled the hungry with good things
    but has sent the rich away empty.
54 He has helped his servant Israel,
    remembering to be merciful
55 to Abraham and his descendants forever,
    just as he promised our ancestors."]]></content:encoded>

These texts are connected to the third Sunday in Advent as we prepare our hearts and minds for Christ's coming!



Zephaniah 3:14-17
Sing, Daughter Zion;
    shout aloud, Israel!
Be glad and rejoice with all your heart,
    Daughter Jerusalem!
15 The Lord has taken away your punishment,
    he has turned back your enemy.
The Lord, the King of Israel, is with you;
    never again will you fear any harm.
16 On that day
    they will say to Jerusalem,
"Do not fear, Zion;
    do not let your hands hang limp.
17 The Lord your God is with you,
    the Mighty Warrior who saves.
He will take great delight in you;
    in his love he will no longer rebuke you,
    but will rejoice over you with singing."



Philippians 4:4-7
Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.



Luke 3:7-18



John said to the crowds coming out to be baptized by him, "You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath? 8 Produce fruit in keeping with repentance. And do not begin to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father.' For I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham. 9 The ax is already at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire."



10 "What should we do then?" the crowd asked.



11 John answered, "Anyone who has two shirts should share with the one who has none, and anyone who has food should do the same."



12 Even tax collectors came to be baptized. "Teacher," they asked, "what should we do?"



13 "Don't collect any more than you are required to," he told them.



14 Then some soldiers asked him, "And what should we do?"



He replied, "Don't extort money and don't accuse people falsely--be content with your pay."



15 The people were waiting expectantly and were all wondering in their hearts if John might possibly be the Messiah. 16 John answered them all, "I baptize you with water. But one who is more powerful than I will come, the straps of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. 17 His winnowing fork is in his hand to clear his threshing floor and to gather the wheat into his barn, but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire." 18 And with many other words John exhorted the people and proclaimed the good news to them.]]></content:encoded>

The Sermon Text: Luke 3:1-8



In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar--when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, Herod tetrarch of Galilee, his brother Philip tetrarch of Iturea and Traconitis, and Lysanias tetrarch of Abilene-- 2 during the high-priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John son of Zechariah in the wilderness. 3 He went into all the country around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. 4 As it is written in the book of the words of Isaiah the prophet:



"A voice of one calling in the wilderness,
'Prepare the way for the Lord,
    make straight paths for him.
5 Every valley shall be filled in,
    every mountain and hill made low.
The crooked roads shall become straight,
    the rough ways smooth.
6 And all people will see God's salvation.'"



7 John said to the crowds coming out to be baptized by him, "You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath? 8 Produce fruit in keeping with repentance. And do not begin to say to yourselves, 'We have Abraham as our father.' For I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham.]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[SBS = Sunday Bible Study



This is the 9th and FINAL session of a study called, "Discipleship Bootcamp," begun at St. Peter's as our Sunday Bible Study in the Fall of 2024.




The goal of study is to especially teach six principles:


     
      
  1. Christ's disciples build their lives upon bible study and devotion (with emphasis on the means of grace).
     
      
  2. Christ's disciples seek to carry out the church's mission.
     
      
  3. Christ's disciples leverage their gifts for the sake of the body.
     
      
  4. Christ's disciples strive to give it all for the God who's given all (with emphasis on gospel motivation).
     
      
  5. Christ's leaders model his initiative, self-sacrifice and virtue.
     
      
  6. Jesus expects this church to make plans and work them.
     
     







Discipleship Bootcamp is built off of the work of Pastor Matt Vogt, and includes some of the leadership teaching of Dr. Allen Sorum and stewardship teaching of Prof. David Scharf.

In this episode, Pastor Gunnar Ledermann and Pastor Titus Buelow confront the ugly truth about churches... They are always full of hypocrites, controversy and bad leaders. Just like any human institution, there are humans in it! With humans come sin, and with sin comes sickness. So should we abandon churches all together and try this faith thing on our own? By no means! God tells us we need each other. So... how do we deal with the situation? Tune in and find out.

The Sermon Text - Galatians:4:4-7
But when the set time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law, 5 to redeem those under the law, that we might receive adoption to sonship. 6 Because you are his sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, the Spirit who calls out, "Abba, Father." 7 So you are no longer a slave, but God's child; and since you are his child, God has made you also an heir.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[SBS = Sunday Bible Study



This is the 8th session of a new study called, "Discipleship Bootcamp," begun at St. Peter's as our Sunday Bible Study in the Fall of 2024.




The goal of study is to especially teach six principles:


     
      
  1. Christ's disciples build their lives upon bible study and devotion (with emphasis on the means of grace).
     
      
  2. Christ's disciples seek to carry out the church's mission.
     
       
  3. Christ's disciples leverage their gifts for the sake of the body.
     
       
  4. Christ's disciples strive to give it all for the God who's given all (with emphasis on gospel motivation).
     
       
  5. Christ's leaders model his initiative, self-sacrifice and virtue.
     
       
  6. Jesus expects this church to make plans and work them.
     
     







Discipleship Bootcamp is built off of the work of Pastor Matt Vogt, and includes some of the leadership teaching of Dr. Allen Sorum and stewardship teaching of Prof. David Scharf.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[This was part of our Christmas Eve Service at St. Peter's Lutheran Church in Helenville, Wisconsin, featuring all of our K-8 students from St. Peter's Lutheran School. Pastor Titus Buelow gave this sermonette tying together the theme with the recitations and songs: Joy Has Dawned. Our world will never be the same because of that first Christmas! 



The REAL Christmas Story - Luke 2:1-20



In those days Caesar Augustus issued a decree that a census should be taken of the entire Roman world. 2 (This was the first census that took place while[a (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Luke%202&amp;version=NIV#fen-NIV-24976a) ] Quirinius was governor of Syria.) 3 And everyone went to their own town to register.



4 So Joseph also went up from the town of Nazareth in Galilee to Judea, to Bethlehem the town of David, because he belonged to the house and line of David. 5 He went there to register with Mary, who was pledged to be married to him and was expecting a child. 6 While they were there, the time came for the baby to be born, 7 and she gave birth to her firstborn, a son. She wrapped him in cloths and placed him in a manger, because there was no guest room available for them.



8 And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10 But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. 11 Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. 12 This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger."



13 Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,



14 "Glory to God in the highest heaven,
    and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests."



15 When the angels had left them and gone into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let's go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about."



16 So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. 17 When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, 18 and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. 19 But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. 20 The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.]]></content:encoded>

In this episode, Pastor Gunnar Ledermann and Pastor Titus Buelow wrestle with what it would be like to know that you are going to die soon like Peter did. What would you want to do before your last day? What would you want to say? Peter gives us an amazing example by staying steadfast to the end, and in fact, leaning even more into being outspoken for Jesus and the facts of his life, death and resurrection. Therefore, Peter also talks about the inspiration of Scripture and that these are not made up stories. Peter was an eye-witness. The Holy Spirit gave these words so that we may find hope in these accounts and believe in Jesus as real and vital for our salvation.

The Biblical text for the base of this episode - 2 Peter 1:12-21



So I will always remind you of these things, even though you know them and are firmly established in the truth you now have. 13 I think it is right to refresh your memory as long as I live in the tent of this body, 14 because I know that I will soon put it aside, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me. 15 And I will make every effort to see that after my departure you will always be able to remember these things.



16 For we did not follow cleverly devised stories when we told you about the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ in power, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty. 17 He received honor and glory from God the Father when the voice came to him from the Majestic Glory, saying, "This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased." 18 We ourselves heard this voice that came from heaven when we were with him on the sacred mountain.



19 We also have the prophetic message as something completely reliable, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts. 20 Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet's own interpretation of things. 21 For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.]]></content:encoded>

Sermon Text: Hebrews 13:5-8, 14



Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said,



"Never will I leave you;
    never will I forsake you."



6 So we say with confidence,



"The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid.
    What can mere mortals do to me?"



7 Remember your leaders, who spoke the word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith. 8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.



9 Do not be carried away by all kinds of strange teachings. It is good for our hearts to be strengthened by grace, not by eating ceremonial foods, which is of no benefit to those who do so. 10 We have an altar from which those who minister at the tabernacle have no right to eat.



11 The high priest carries the blood of animals into the Most Holy Place as a sin offering, but the bodies are burned outside the camp. 12 And so Jesus also suffered outside the city gate to make the people holy through his own blood. 13 Let us, then, go to him outside the camp, bearing the disgrace he bore. 14 For here we do not have an enduring city, but we are looking for the city that is to come.]]></content:encoded>

The Sermon Text: Jude 20-25



But you, dear friends, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, 21 keep yourselves in God's love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life.



22 Be merciful to those who doubt; 23 save others by snatching them from the fire; to others show mercy, mixed with fear--hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh.



24 To him who is able to keep you from stumbling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy-- 25 to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen.]]></content:encoded>

Sermon Text: John 5:25-29



Very truly I tell you, a time is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who hear will live. 26 For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself. 27 And he has given him authority to judge because he is the Son of Man.



28 "Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice 29 and come out--those who have done what is good will rise to live, and those who have done what is evil will rise to be condemned.]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[SBS = Sunday Bible Study



This is the 6th session of a new study called, "Discipleship Bootcamp," begun at St. Peter's as our Sunday Bible Study in the Fall of 2024.




The goal of study is to especially teach six principles:


     
      
  1. Christ's disciples build their lives upon bible study and devotion (with emphasis on the means of grace).
     
      
  2. Christ's disciples seek to carry out the church's mission.
     
      
  3. Christ's disciples leverage their gifts for the sake of the body.
     
      
  4. Christ's disciples strive to give it all for the God who's given all (with emphasis on gospel motivation).
     
      
  5. Christ's leaders model his initiative, self-sacrifice and virtue.
     
      
  6. Jesus expects this church to make plans and work them.
     
     







Discipleship Bootcamp is built off of the work of Pastor Matt Vogt, and includes some of the leadership teaching of Dr. Allen Sorum and stewardship teaching of Prof. David Scharf.

Sermon Text: Mark 12:38-44



As he taught, Jesus said, "Watch out for the teachers of the law. They like to walk around in flowing robes and be greeted with respect in the marketplaces, 39 and have the most important seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets. 40 They devour widows' houses and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will be punished most severely."



41 Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Many rich people threw in large amounts. 42 But a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a few cents.



43 Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, "Truly I tell you, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others. 44 They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything--all she had to live on."]]></content:encoded>

In this episode, Pastor Gunnar Ledermann and Pastor Titus Buelow marvel at the way Peter still gives full credit to God. He begins his second letter as a servant of Christ who has been graciously given this role as an apostle. Peter can, after a lifetime of living for Jesus, testify to the immense power of God to save us and empower us to live out that truth in our heart, in our mind, and in our daily actions. We get to live for God and look forward to his smiling face in heaven. We can't wait for each day to strive for Him! This is the power of Christ in us!

In this episode, Pastor Gunnar Ledermann and Pastor Titus Buelow prepare to delve into the intense and dense book of 2 Peter. After coming through Peter's first letter and being thoroughly prepared to suffer, what more could Peter have to say? Quite a bit, apparently! Peter's second letter gives more encouragement to stand firm and gives power to do it by grounding us in the divine power of God our Savior.

Sermon Text: Isaiah 25:6-9



On this mountain the Lord Almighty will prepare
    a feast of rich food for all peoples,
a banquet of aged wine--
    the best of meats and the finest of wines.
7 On this mountain he will destroy
    the shroud that enfolds all peoples,
the sheet that covers all nations;
8     he will swallow up death forever.
The Sovereign Lord will wipe away the tears
    from all faces;
he will remove his people's disgrace
    from all the earth.
The Lord has spoken.



9 In that day they will say,



"Surely this is our God;
    we trusted in him, and he saved us.
This is the Lord, we trusted in him;
    let us rejoice and be glad in his salvation."]]></content:encoded>

In this episode, Pastor Gunnar Ledermann and Pastor Titus Buelow discuss how one can be blessed to suffer in general, but more, to suffer FOR THE NAME. Connected to that is the motivation that leads some men to become pastors, leaders, and spiritual fathers in the Church. Finally, Peter closes out his first letter with grace, peace and lots of encouragement.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[This sermon was preached at St. Peter's annual Fall Festival at the Statz Barn up the road from the church. Pastor Titus Buelow shared thoughts about the three men thrown into the fiery furnace because they considered it worthy to die for their Lord and their faith. May we discover the same courage to stand firm for the one who is worth even our lives, Jesus Christ. Through him, we have eternal life and God on our side. Nothing can take that away from us, not even a deranged and self-centered king!








The Sermon Text: Daniel 3:16-28



Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego replied to him, "King Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you in this matter. 17 If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to deliver us from it, and he will deliver us from Your Majesty's hand. 18 But even if he does not, we want you to know, Your Majesty, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up."



19 Then Nebuchadnezzar was furious with Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, and his attitude toward them changed. He ordered the furnace heated seven times hotter than usual 20 and commanded some of the strongest soldiers in his army to tie up Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego and throw them into the blazing furnace. 21 So these men, wearing their robes, trousers, turbans and other clothes, were bound and thrown into the blazing furnace. 22 The king's command was so urgent and the furnace so hot that the flames of the fire killed the soldiers who took up Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, 23 and these three men, firmly tied, fell into the blazing furnace.



24 Then King Nebuchadnezzar leaped to his feet in amazement and asked his advisers, "Weren't there three men that we tied up and threw into the fire?"



They replied, "Certainly, Your Majesty."



25 He said, "Look! I see four men walking around in the fire, unbound and unharmed, and the fourth looks like a son of the gods."



26 Nebuchadnezzar then approached the opening of the blazing furnace and shouted, "Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, servants of the Most High God, come out! Come here!"



So Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego came out of the fire, 27 and the satraps, prefects, governors and royal advisers crowded around them. They saw that the fire had not harmed their bodies, nor was a hair of their heads singed; their robes were not scorched, and there was no smell of fire on them.



28 Then Nebuchadnezzar said, "Praise be to the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, who has sent his angel and rescued his servants! They trusted in him and defied the king's command and were willing to give up their lives rather than serve or worship any god except their own God.]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[SBS = Sunday Bible Study



This is the 5th session of a new study called, "Discipleship Bootcamp," begun at St. Peter's as our Sunday Bible Study in the Fall of 2024.




The goal of study is to especially teach six principles:


     
      
  1. Christ's disciples build their lives upon bible study and devotion (with emphasis on the means of grace).
     
      
  2. Christ's disciples seek to carry out the church's mission.
     
      
  3. Christ's disciples leverage their gifts for the sake of the body.
     
      
  4. Christ's disciples strive to give it all for the God who's given all (with emphasis on gospel motivation).
     
       
  5. Christ's leaders model his initiative, self-sacrifice and virtue.
     
       
  6. Jesus expects this church to make plans and work them.
     
     


Discipleship Bootcamp is built off of the work of Pastor Matt Vogt, and includes some of the leadership teaching of Dr. Allen Sorum and stewardship teaching of Prof. David Scharf.

Sermon Text: Mark 10:32-45



They were on their way up to Jerusalem, with Jesus leading the way, and the disciples were astonished, while those who followed were afraid. Again he took the Twelve aside and told them what was going to happen to him. 33 "We are going up to Jerusalem," he said, "and the Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and the teachers of the law. They will condemn him to death and will hand him over to the Gentiles, 34 who will mock him and spit on him, flog him and kill him. Three days later he will rise."



35 Then James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to him. "Teacher," they said, "we want you to do for us whatever we ask."



36 "What do you want me to do for you?" he asked.



37 They replied, "Let one of us sit at your right and the other at your left in your glory."



38 "You don't know what you are asking," Jesus said. "Can you drink the cup I drink or be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with?"



39 "We can," they answered.



Jesus said to them, "You will drink the cup I drink and be baptized with the baptism I am baptized with, 40 but to sit at my right or left is not for me to grant. These places belong to those for whom they have been prepared."



41 When the ten heard about this, they became indignant with James and John. 42 Jesus called them together and said, "You know that those who are regarded as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. 43 Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, 44 and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all. 45 For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many."]]></content:encoded>

The Sermon Text: Hebrews 4:12-13



For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. 13 Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[This sermon was preached on October 6, 2024 by Pastor Titus Buelow in St. Peter's Lutheran Church, Helenville, WI. 








The Sermon Text: Mark 10:2-16



Some Pharisees came and tested him by asking, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?"



3 "What did Moses command you?" he replied.



4 They said, "Moses permitted a man to write a certificate of divorce and send her away."



5 "It was because your hearts were hard that Moses wrote you this law," Jesus replied. 6 "But at the beginning of creation God 'made them male and female.' 7 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, 8 and the two will become one flesh.' So they are no longer two, but one flesh. 9 Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate."



10 When they were in the house again, the disciples asked Jesus about this. 11 He answered, "Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery against her. 12 And if she divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery."



13 People were bringing little children to Jesus for him to place his hands on them, but the disciples rebuked them. 14 When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. 15 Truly I tell you, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it." 16 And he took the children in his arms, placed his hands on them and blessed them.]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[In this episode, Pastor Gunnar Ledermann and Pastor Titus Buelow talk about the challenge of enduring suffering and persecution BECAUSE of faith in Jesus and standing on the truth. This can make believing in God seem counter-intuitive to getting ahead and having a better future. This section helps us remember the eternal scope of our faith. Temporary suffering does not compare to eternal glory to come. However, in the moment we can forget, therefore God calls us to prepare to answer, to stand, and to believe especially as the going gets tough.

The Sermon Text - Mark 9:30-37



They left that place and passed through Galilee. Jesus did not want anyone to know where they were, 31 because he was teaching his disciples. He said to them, "The Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men. They will kill him, and after three days he will rise." 32 But they did not understand what he meant and were afraid to ask him about it.



33 They came to Capernaum. When he was in the house, he asked them, "What were you arguing about on the road?" 34 But they kept quiet because on the way they had argued about who was the greatest.



35 Sitting down, Jesus called the Twelve and said, "Anyone who wants to be first must be the very last, and the servant of all."



36 He took a little child whom he placed among them. Taking the child in his arms, he said to them, 37 "Whoever welcomes one of these little children in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me does not welcome me but the one who sent me."]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Included in this episode are two sermons. First is a children's sermon about having armor to protect you from the big things! Then, Pastor Titus Buelow digs deeper into Ephesians 6:10-18 and how the armor given us by God protects us not only from the challenges we can see, but also from the unseen enemies of the spiritual realm. We can have full confidence and stand firm when we are standing in His grace and His power. 



This episode was recorded on September 15, 2024








The Sermon Text - Ephesians 6:10-18



Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

Then Jesus left the vicinity of Tyre and went through Sidon, down to the Sea of Galilee and into the region of the Decapolis. 32 There some people brought to him a man who was deaf and could hardly talk, and they begged Jesus to place his hand on him.



33 After he took him aside, away from the crowd, Jesus put his fingers into the man's ears. Then he spit and touched the man's tongue. 34 He looked up to heaven and with a deep sigh said to him, "Ephphatha!" (which means "Be opened!"). 35 At this, the man's ears were opened, his tongue was loosened and he began to speak plainly.



36 Jesus commanded them not to tell anyone. But the more he did so, the more they kept talking about it. 37 People were overwhelmed with amazement. "He has done everything well," they said. "He even makes the deaf hear and the mute speak."



Delivered on September 8, 2024 by Pastor Titus Buelow at St. Peter's Lutheran Church in Helenville, WI.]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Mark 7:1-8, 14-15, 21-23



The Pharisees and some of the teachers of the law who had come from Jerusalem gathered around Jesus 2 and saw some of his disciples eating food with hands that were defiled, that is, unwashed. 3 (The Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they give their hands a ceremonial washing, holding to the tradition of the elders. 4 When they come from the marketplace they do not eat unless they wash. And they observe many other traditions, such as the washing of cups, pitchers and kettles.)



5 So the Pharisees and teachers of the law asked Jesus, "Why don't your disciples live according to the tradition of the elders instead of eating their food with defiled hands?"



6 He replied, "Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you hypocrites; as it is written:



"'These people honor me with their lips,
    but their hearts are far from me.
7 They worship me in vain;
    their teachings are merely human rules.'



8 You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to human traditions."



14 Again Jesus called the crowd to him and said, "Listen to me, everyone, and understand this. 15 Nothing outside a person can defile them by going into them. Rather, it is what comes out of a person that defiles them." 



21 For it is from within, out of a person's heart, that evil thoughts come--sexual immorality, theft, murder, 22 adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly. 23 All these evils come from inside and defile a person."

For what we preach is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake. For God, who said, "Let light shine out of darkness," made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God's glory displayed in the face of Christ.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[In this episode, Pastor Gunnar Ledermann and Pastor Titus Buelow wrestle with what it means to have our identity first and foremost in being a citizen of heaven, a chosen people by God, and a royal priesthood, not being a citizen of this world and merely being about this life. Having a deeper and more substantial identity that goes beyond sexuality, a movement, an action or a cause means that you can be consistent and grounded in a way those who are unchristian cannot be. It also impacts what always takes precedence when making decisions and living in certain lifestyles. 



This also impacts how we respond to our earthly leaders. They are in place because God allows them to have their time and place for the good of society. It is not our primary calling to revolt against the establishment and to establish a perfect order here on earth. That will never happen in our sinful world. That doesn't mean we don't exercise our role as a Christian and as a citizen of a country to vote, to protest if needed, and to stand firm, especially when it is about God's Word or command vs. human word and command. However, we do so with humility and submission to God's authority which is over all human authority. We ultimately trust Him to make it right.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Sermon Text: John 6:51-69



I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world."Then the Jews began to argue sharply among themselves, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?"Jesus said to them, "Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day. For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in them. Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me. This is the bread that came down from heaven. Your ancestors ate manna and died, but whoever feeds on this bread will live forever." 



He said this while teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum. On hearing it, many of his disciples said, "This is a hard teaching. Who can accept it?"Aware that his disciples were grumbling about this, Jesus said to them, "Does this offend you? Then what if you see the Son of Man ascend to where he was before! The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you--they are full of the Spirit and life. Yet there are some of you who do not believe." For Jesus had known from the beginning which of them did not believe and who would betray him. He went on to say, "This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless the Father has enabled them." From this time many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed him.



"You do not want to leave too, do you?" Jesus asked
the Twelve. Simon Peter answered him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. We have come to believe and to know that you are the Holy One of God."

Then Jesus declared, "I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty. But as I told you, you have seen me and still you do not believe. All those the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never drive away. For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me. And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those he has given me, but raise them up at the last day. For my Father's will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day."At this the Jews there began to grumble about him because he said, "I am the bread that came down from heaven." They said, "Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How can he now say, 'I came down from heaven'?" "Stop grumbling among yourselves," Jesus answered. "No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them, and I will raise them up at the last day. It is written in the Prophets: 'They will all be taught by God.' Everyone who has heard the Father and learned from him comes to me. No one has seen the Father except the one who is from God; only he has seen the Father. Very truly I tell you, the one who believes has eternal life. I am the bread of life. Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, yet they died. But here is the bread that comes down from heaven, which anyone may eat and not die. I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world."

Once the crowd realized that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they got into the boats and went to Capernaum in search of Jesus.



When they found him on the other side of the lake, they asked him, "Rabbi, when did you get here?"



Jesus answered, "Very truly I tell you, you are looking for me, not because you saw the signs I performed but because you ate the loaves and had your fill. Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on him God the Father has placed his seal of approval."



Then they asked him, "What must we do to do the works God requires?"



Jesus answered, "The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent."



So they asked him, "What sign then will you give that we may see it and believe you? What will you do? Our ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written: 'He gave them bread from heaven to eat.'"



Jesus said to them, "Very truly I tell you, it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is the bread that comes down from heaven and gives life to the world."



"Sir," they said, "always give us this bread."



Then Jesus declared, "I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.]]></content:encoded>

For I am already being poured out like a drink offering, and the time for my departure is near. I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. Now there is in store for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day--and not only to me, but also to all who have longed for his appearing. 



At my first defense, no one came to my support, but everyone deserted me. May it not be held against them. But the Lord stood at my side and gave me strength, so that through me the message might be fully proclaimed and all the Gentiles might hear it. And I was delivered from the lion's mouth. 



The Lord will rescue me from every evil attack and will bring me safely to his heavenly kingdom. To him be glory for ever and ever. Amen.



This sermon was delivered on August 4, 2024, by Pastor Titus Buelow.]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[In this episode, Pastor G + T explore the beautiful picture language of this section, "living stones." First Jesus is described as the living stone that his church is built on and then we also are described as living stones placed together to become something beautiful through him. "Living" and "Stone" don't normally go together, but then again, Jesus puts a lot of things together that don't normally go together. Explore the beauty of Scripture and our new life in Christ in this episode.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Pastor Titus is working on a secret project... okay, it's not actually meant to be secret, but it is supposed to be exciting and a little dastardly. 



The project is called Underground and is meant to embody that same spirit that inspired Christians to go underground and meet in the catacombs of Rome if they had to in order to worship the One True God. 



At that time, you could be put to death for openly practicing your faith, specifically, your Christian faith. You were persecuted severely for sharing your views, your dissent, and even your love. Still today, this happens in places around the globe. But couldn't we say that these things sound similar if not familiar in our own spaces?



More and more, this is becoming a reality for Christians in America today. Having a Biblical Christian worldview is no longer a public advantage but often reason enough to be cancelled, hated, and sometimes penalized and even killed. 








Pastor Titus and many other Bible Scholars believe and know that this is only the beginning. Scripture clearly teaches that things will go from bad to worse when people abandon God and His Word. Scripture also tells us to prepare for these last days, expecting persecution and great pressure especially at the very end. 



So how do we respond as Christians? Do we roll over and give up our faith? Do we stop speaking "about what we have seen and heard"? 



No. The Spirit cannot be silenced or stopped. The Gospel must be preached to all nations. 



So, we prepare "to give an answer for the hope we have" as His AMBASSADORS. 



We put on the "full armor of God so that we can take our stand against the devil's schemes" as His SOLDIERS.



We know the voice of our shepherd and his will for our lives by regularly hearing His voice and studying His words as His DISCIPLES.



We learn how to best use the abilities, the resources, and the time to best advance the kingdom of God within our homes, our communities and into the world, because we are His STEWARDS. 








This is going to be an exciting journey as project Underground develops. Get in on the ground floor by following Underground's page on Facebook to receive updates, devotions, discussion thoughts, and a growing community. 
⁠https://www.facebook.com/people/Be-Underground/61559202429466⁠ (https://www.bing.com/ck/a?!&amp;&amp;p=1fd2a172453ba72cJmltdHM9MTcyNDk3NjAwMCZpZ3VpZD0wOGNkYTA4OC03NGNmLTZiZWEtMGI0NC1iMWQ0NzBjZjZkNzImaW5zaWQ9NTE5Mg&amp;ptn=3&amp;ver=2&amp;hsh=3&amp;fclid=08cda088-74cf-6bea-0b44-b1d470cf6d72&amp;psq=facebook+be+underground&amp;u=a1aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZmFjZWJvb2suY29tL3Blb3BsZS9CZS1VbmRlcmdyb3VuZC82MTU1OTIwMjQyOTQ2Ni8&amp;ntb=1) 



Also, head to Underground's main website for the official blog and news posts of Underground. You will also find amazing merchandise for subtle yet powerful witness to who you are in Christ and may lead to new conversations about faith. 
⁠http://www.beunderground.com/⁠ (http://www.beunderground.com/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR3B9ZxWk8WC0-ABOolML0rb6m3U_So2DZSxEHku7BJelkhqnaO2q_PDItM_aem_VFY_PtbW3ASF9RzYM7zAbA) 



Coming soon is Underground's full community website and web app that will allow this movement to really grow through regular discussion, mini-courses, challenges, events and so much more. This will be a private group where Christians can grow their faith safely by being encouraged by fellow Christians and challenged in a constructive way to go deeper into their faith and its application "out there in the real world." 








So what are you waiting for? Become a part of Underground and the powerful community that is assembling right now to spread the light and overcome the darkness.]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[In this episode, Pastor G + T tackle a "new" thing, AI. While the complexity and power of AI has grown, the idea that man can create its own "god", or create its own "life", or have all the answers with enough information and time, that idea is as old as time itself. Specifically, it echoes the very machinations of the people building the tower of Babel, a tower reaching to heaven. 



However, while humans believe they will transcend their limitations, the Bible makes clear that we will never escape the curse of sin and destruction without the power of God. 



To receive that power, we have to look outside of man's wisdom or power, and instead rely completely on the power of God given to human beings through the Holy Spirit. God promises to send him into our hearts through His Word and the Sacraments. 



In this section of 1 Peter, Peter specifically reminds us of Baptism that empowers us to begin a new life in Christ. He also describes some of the other things God's power allows us to transcend. Those include death itself, decay and the trappings of temporary pleasure at the price of soul destroying sin. By God's power, we can overcome temptation, stand firm in these last days, and rise with Christ at the End. Thanks be to God!



 



Pastor Gunnar Ledermann &amp; Pastor Titus Buelow continue their journey of reading the People's Bible Commentaries chapter by chapter, book by book. As they read each section of commentary, they give their personal reflections and comments for you to ruminate on and use as a springboard for your own personal study and growth as a child of God. May this be a blessing to you as you Bible Study. Godspeed!

The sermon text from Mark 6:30-34.



Mark 6:30-34 (NIV)



The apostles gathered around Jesus and reported to him all they had done and taught. 31 Then, because so many people were coming and going that they did not even have a chance to eat, he said to them, "Come with me by yourselves to a quiet place and get some rest." 32 So they went away by themselves in a boat to a solitary place. 33 But many who saw them leaving recognized them and ran on foot from all the towns and got there ahead of them. 34 When Jesus landed and saw a large crowd, he had compassion on them, because they were like sheep without a shepherd. So he began teaching them many things.]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[There are a strange number of parallels between the lore of warriors and superheroes, comic books and the reality of God's story in the Bible. Our superheroes often imitate and resemble what Jesus is for us, a Savior, who somehow conquers the darkness and even death to save the people who cannot save themselves. In the same way, the comic book sets up a world that is dark and full of sinister enemies that prey on the lowly people. Yet, there is a happy ending as good triumphs over evil. 



However, the hero is still flawed in our versions. He isn't perfect. However, Jesus is perfect. Therefore, he looks different than what we could come up with. He had to suffer and die. He was weak and willing to be killed by evil men SO THAT he could carry out God's plan for the world. This was the real salvation story.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA["I'm just the messenger!" Have you ever said that before? Me too. Sometimes we have to say things that are not received very well by the recipient. Even if we are speaking truth (and especially then sometimes), anger may be the response. Our character and credentials may be ripped apart even though the message is not based in our identity but in the facts of what we were instructed to give. 



This is especially true when we carry the Word of God. It matters how we say God's Word, when we say it, and to whom we say it, but the Word of God remains that, His words and not human words. Yet God's messengers have always been attacked personally for truths they did not write (and often didn't really want to say!).



Amos was one of those prophets who brought God's Word even though he was a farmer, called from the field to speak God's Word to the northern kingdom of Israel. 



What application should we draw from His story? 








Sermon Text - Amos 7:10-15



Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel sent a message to Jeroboam king of Israel: "Amos is raising a conspiracy against you in the very heart of Israel. The land cannot bear all his words. 11 For this is what Amos is saying:



"'Jeroboam will die by the sword,
    and Israel will surely go into exile,
    away from their native land.'"



12 Then Amaziah said to Amos, "Get out, you seer! Go back to the land of Judah. Earn your bread there and do your prophesying there. 13 Don't prophesy anymore at Bethel, because this is the king's sanctuary and the temple of the kingdom."



14 Amos answered Amaziah, "I was neither a prophet nor the son of a prophet, but I was a shepherd, and I also took care of sycamore-fig trees. 15 But the Lord took me from tending the flock and said to me, 'Go, prophesy to my people Israel.'

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[In this episode, Pastor G &amp; T dive into 1 Peter and how the Apostle begins his comforting and challenging letter. He addresses his audience as THE ELECT and a CHOSEN PEOPLE even if they are strangers in this world. Peter recognizes that many of the Christians he is writing to feel alone and "weird" for believing in Jesus. Peter comforts them by reminding them "whose" they are and that they have been called to something much bigger than a normal life that will end. Instead, we have been called to a new life with a living hope. We are so different because we believe in Jesus and the resurrection. This makes temporary hardships par for the course, beneficial even, because they refine in us our sole foundation - Jesus Christ as our Savior, our Righteousness, and our Goal.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[We need to make a mental shift about the times we live in. We are acting as if we live in times of peace even though we live in a season of war. Until the last day comes, we are part of a war waging all around us, even if it is largely unseen by our physical eyes. Angels and demons, the devil and God battle for our souls. 



Thankfully, Jesus, the commander of the heavenly forces and the King of humanity came to this earth to win the war over evil once and for all. All who side with him will ultimately enjoy eternal victory in the halls of heaven.



However, today our fight is not over. Salvation has been accomplished, but the work of God is ongoing in our world and in the hearts of humanity. We need to be prepared for the daily struggles and attacks against our soul. Others are trapped behind enemy lines and have yet to hear and believe that Jesus' side is the winning side. 



We need to be ready, prepared, and mentally focused to serve our commander and to sacrifice our lives for the souls still lost. 



We are in the Lord's army, my friends.



Form up and move out!








Sermon Text - 2 Timothy 2:1-13



You then, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 2 And the things you have heard me say in the presence of many witnesses entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others. 3 Join with me in suffering, like a good soldier of Christ Jesus. 4 No one serving as a soldier gets entangled in civilian affairs, but rather tries to please his commanding officer. 5 Similarly, anyone who competes as an athlete does not receive the victor's crown except by competing according to the rules. 6 The hardworking farmer should be the first to receive a share of the crops. 7 Reflect on what I am saying, for the Lord will give you insight into all this.



8 Remember Jesus Christ, raised from the dead, descended from David. This is my gospel, 9 for which I am suffering even to the point of being chained like a criminal. But God's word is not chained. 10 Therefore I endure everything for the sake of the elect, that they too may obtain the salvation that is in Christ Jesus, with eternal glory.



11 Here is a trustworthy saying:



If we died with him,
    we will also live with him;
12 if we endure,
    we will also reign with him.
If we disown him,
    he will also disown us;
13 if we are faithless,
    he remains faithful,
    for he cannot disown himself.]]></content:encoded>

Reflecting on the accounts of Peter we have from the Gospel, we have lots to think about concerning his character, his growth as a follower of Jesus, and his wisdom gained through experience, persecution and age by the time of this letter. Join us as we explore the background to Peter's first letter so that we can internalize what it means to have a living hope like Simon Peter.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[It is a beautiful paradox. We are terribly weak. God's power is incredibly strong. It is beautiful because our weakness does not disqualify us from having God's strength. In fact, our weakness serves to display the power of God in us and through us all the more! 



If you feel broken and unable to stand, listen in to this comforting sermon about how God's power shines all the brighter in people just like you. 




Sermon Text: 2 Corinthians 4:7-15



But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. 8 We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; 9 persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. 10 We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. 11 For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that his life may also be revealed in our mortal body. 12 So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you.



13 It is written: "I believed; therefore I have spoken." Since we have that same spirit of faith, we also believe and therefore speak, 14 because we know that the one who raised the Lord Jesus from the dead will also raise us with Jesus and present us with you to himself. 15 All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God.]]></content:encoded>

Jesus continued: "There was a man who had two sons. 12 The younger one said to his father, 'Father, give me my share of the estate.' So he divided his property between them.



13 "Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth in wild living. 14 After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he began to be in need. 15 So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs. 16 He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything.



17 "When he came to his senses, he said, 'How many of my father's hired servants have food to spare, and here I am starving to death! 18 I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. 19 I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired servants.' 20 So he got up and went to his father.



"But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.



21 "The son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.'



22 "But the father said to his servants, 'Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. 23 Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let's have a feast and celebrate. 24 For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.' So they began to celebrate.]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[In this episode, Pastor G &amp; T talk about how hard suffering can be, and how much harder it can make the slow days on earth. However, the eternal hope to come is so much greater and will be so much longer than the temporary struggle of these days. Long term vision and focus is essential to keeping the faith during the toughest of times. 



Prayer is another powerful tool for us to fight back against the darkness of this life. We know our Father in heaven cares for us. We know he hears us. We know he will act and do what is best for us SO THAT we arrive on that eternal shore.

Good question.



However, there is one source who is more trustworthy than all the others, God himself. He not only knows how we were designed and for what we were designed for optimally, but he has also provided a way for us to be empowered by His Spirit so that we can be regenerated and remade righteous as we were intended to be. 



If there is one investment to make, it is THIS. Listen in to find out the secret. 








The Text: Mark 4:26-34



He also said, "This is what the kingdom of God is like. A man scatters seed on the ground. 27 Night and day, whether he sleeps or gets up, the seed sprouts and grows, though he does not know how. 28 All by itself the soil produces grain--first the stalk, then the head, then the full kernel in the head. 29 As soon as the grain is ripe, he puts the sickle to it, because the harvest has come."



30 Again he said, "What shall we say the kingdom of God is like, or what parable shall we use to describe it? 31 It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds on earth. 32 Yet when planted, it grows and becomes the largest of all garden plants, with such big branches that the birds can perch in its shade."



33 With many similar parables Jesus spoke the word to them, as much as they could understand. 34 He did not say anything to them without using a parable. But when he was alone with his own disciples, he explained everything.]]></content:encoded>

James is very direct in telling us not to be lazy, lounging around, using our time and affluence for a comfy life instead of getting out there and doing what we can to spread the gospel and care for our neighbor. Today may be our last day! If so, what do we need to get done today?

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Have you wondered what it all means in the book of Revelation? There is no doubt Revelation is a confusing book that has confounded scholars from accross the world and throughout time since it was written. But does that mean we can't know for sure anything from its words? Does that mean we should avoid it?



No. "All scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work."



We need Revelation because it is God's revealed Word to us about things unseen and unspoken from the beginning of time, from right now, and from the future yet to be. 



These visions give us pictures of things we have no frame of reference for and no personal experience. Revelation peels back the veil and shows us the spiritual war going on behind the scenes and the victory Jesus has won through his death on the cross and his now rule on high on behalf of his church. Soon will come the culmination of that victory on the last day when ALL will be made right.



Tune into this interesting sermon that tries to shed light on some of the beautiful pictures from Revelation for the purpose of giving us confident hope during uncertain times. 



Sermon Text: Revelation 20:1-6



And I saw an angel coming down out of heaven, having the key to the Abyss and holding in his hand a great chain. 2He seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil, or Satan, and bound him for a thousand years. 3He threw him into the Abyss, and locked and sealed it over him, to keep him from deceiving the nations anymore until the thousand years were ended. After that, he must be set free for a short time.
I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years. 5(The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended.) This is the first resurrection. 6Blessed and holy are those who share in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with him for a thousand years.]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[In this episode, Pastor G &amp; T wrestle with the difficult concept of submission. However, as we thought and talked about it in the context of James' words and one of creation and creator, it became easy to accept our submission to God. 



However, in practice this still remains very difficult. This means God is right and we are not. This means his standards are always good. This means our ways and our wants are often not the priority nor should they be. We only see and understand a small part of our Father's plans for us. He really does know best and we have to TRUST his good intentions and solid record of always following through for His people. 



Another aspect of submission that we talk about in reference to these verses is that we submit ourselves to the needs and wants of others. Why would we do that? It is not very self-serving! Exactly! God calls us to "have the same attitude as Christ Jesus who made himself nothing... (Phil 2)." As fellow humans, we are not to lord it over or exert our will over others around us, instead we are to treat them as equals and as fellow sinners who need a Savior.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Have you ever walked into a room and instantly felt like you didn't belong? Have you had that feeling walking into church? Each of us is especially aware of our shortcomings, our flaws and our unworthiness to be before a holy God. We may even think we don't belong with the other people at church because they seem to have it more put together. 



But the reality is, even though NO ONE deserves to stand in God's presence without fear, because we all are sinful, we CAN and are WELCOME to stand before God in peace. 



How? 



God makes us right. He cleanses us of our sin. He chooses to call us into his presence, make us his children, and even send us out as his embassadors. God doesn't want us to be embarrassed to call him, "abba" or "dad." He wants us to proudly think of him as such and to share the reality of our relationship with the world! 



Listen in to hear more about why you can stand before God and for Him with full confidence!



Sermon Text: Isaiah 6:1-8



In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord, high and exalted, seated on a throne; and the train of his robe filled the temple. 2 Above him were seraphim, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying. 3 And they were calling to one another:



"Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty;
    the whole earth is full of his glory."



4 At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook and the temple was filled with smoke.



5 "Woe to me!" I cried. "I am ruined! For I am a man of unclean lips, and I live among a people of unclean lips, and my eyes have seen the King, the Lord Almighty."



6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from the altar. 7 With it he touched my mouth and said, "See, this has touched your lips; your guilt is taken away and your sin atoned for."



8 Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?"



And I said, "Here am I. Send me!"]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[In this episode, Pastor Gunnar &amp; Pastor Titus discuss James 3 that wrestles with the greatest weapon, our tongues! We can build or destroy with our words, friends. Critical or dishonest words can destroy a person and their reputation. Kind and affirming words can help a person ascend from the ashes of self-doubt and fear. How much more so when we speak the Word of God! It is imperative that we use such a powerful weapon for good and not evil! We must check ourselves, especially if we hope to teach others, that we are speaking with selfless motivation to save souls, not to gain anything by our influence. 



Tune in to hear a great discussion around the taming the tongue and the key to true wisdom.

Well, they were wrong! Through God's Word empowered by the Holy Spirit, you have been made alive! Just like God revived a valley full of dry bones into a standing army ready for war, so God revives us when we hear and believe His Word. He resurrects us spiritually right now and on the last day will also raise our physical bodies new and improved! God be praised. 



Sermon Text: Ezekiel 37:1-14



The hand of the Lord was on me, and he brought me out by the Spirit of the Lord and set me in the middle of a valley; it was full of bones. 2 He led me back and forth among them, and I saw a great many bones on the floor of the valley, bones that were very dry. 3 He asked me, "Son of man, can these bones live?"



I said, "Sovereign Lord, you alone know."



4 Then he said to me, "Prophesy to these bones and say to them, 'Dry bones, hear the word of the Lord! 5 This is what the Sovereign Lord says to these bones: I will make breathenter you, and you will come to life. 6 I will attach tendons to you and make flesh come upon you and cover you with skin; I will put breath in you, and you will come to life. Then you will know that I am the Lord.'"



7 So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I was prophesying, there was a noise, a rattling sound, and the bones came together, bone to bone. 8 I looked, and tendons and flesh appeared on them and skin covered them, but there was no breath in them.



9 Then he said to me, "Prophesy to the breath; prophesy, son of man, and say to it, 'This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Come, breath, from the four winds and breathe into these slain, that they may live.'" 10 So I prophesied as he commanded me, and breath entered them; they came to life and stood up on their feet--a vast army.



11 Then he said to me: "Son of man, these bones are the people of Israel. They say, 'Our bones are dried up and our hope is gone; we are cut off.' 12 Therefore prophesy and say to them: 'This is what the Sovereign Lord says: My people, I am going to open your graves and bring you up from them; I will bring you back to the land of Israel. 13 Then you, my people, will know that I am the Lord, when I open your graves and bring you up from them. 14 I will put my Spirit in you and you will live, and I will settle you in your own land. Then you will know that I the Lord have spoken, and I have done it, declares the Lord.'"]]></content:encoded>

Are both necessary for salvation? If not, what is the place of works? Are they optional? Are they automatic? Is it possible to do good works without faith? Is it possible to have real faith and not have deeds to reflect that? What kind of deeds will a true Christian produce? These and other questions fill this exciting podcast episode.

Preacher: Rev. Joel Jaeger



Sermon Text: Mark 2:23-3:6



One Sabbath Jesus was going through the grainfields, and as his disciples walked along, they began to pick some heads of grain. 24The Pharisees said to him, "Look, why are they doing what is unlawful on the Sabbath?"



25He answered, "Have you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry and in need? 26In the days of Abiathar the high priest, he entered the house of God and ate the consecrated bread, which is lawful only for priests to eat. And he also gave some to his companions."



27Then he said to them, "The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath. 28So the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath."



1Another time Jesus went into the synagogue, and a man with a shriveled hand was there. 2Some of them were looking for a reason to accuse Jesus, so they watched him closely to see if he would heal him on the Sabbath. 3Jesus said to the man with the shriveled hand, "Stand up in front of everyone."



4Then Jesus asked them, "Which is lawful on the Sabbath: to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill?" But they remained silent.



5He looked around at them in anger and, deeply distressed at their stubborn hearts, said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." He stretched it out, and his hand was completely restored. 6Then the Pharisees went out and began to plot with the Herodians how they might kill Jesus.]]></content:encoded>

Are you serving to get something out of it? Are your treating some better than others? If so, why? Do you lean a certain way because of money, popularity, sinful weakness? Are you afraid to say the right thing or the hard thing? Remember who you are and why you are allowed to be in Jesus' church: You were saved by grace. God wants to save them too, sinners just like you were when God found you!

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[We are an important part of the circle of love. God has so loved us first by sending his only Son to live a perfect life and die an innocent death in our place. Now we are called to love our neighbors in view of the love we ourselves have already received. If we don't, why? How? Can we truly claim to be of God if we refuse to love as he has loved us?



These and other tough questions will be answered in this sermon as we meditate on 1 John 4:7-11, 19-21.



Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. 8 Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. 9 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. 10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. 11 Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another...



19 We love because he first loved us. 20 Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen. 21 And he has given us this command: Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister.]]></content:encoded>

May this be a blessing to you as you Bible Study. Godspeed!



In this episode, PG &amp; PT get into chapter 1 of James and they find an early church leader who is fired up! He encourages his suffering friends to embrace their hardships and even to be happy for them. Why? How? Because those trials will produce perseverance, character and even more hope as they lean into Jesus.

In this episode, PG &amp; PT introduce the next book for discussion, James! James is a fiery book from a leader of the church to his congregation calling on them to live the faith they claim to have.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Isn't the ascension of Jesus a hard one to get excited about? Yes, we are happy Jesus is being recognized and exalted for what he did. He deserves it, no question. Yes, we want him to be with His Father and siting in authority. But those facts don't lessen the hardships of this life. They don't take away the strong desire to have Jesus right here, visibly, standing next to us and comforting us with beautiful words face to face. We long for that. We miss him.



However, there is a very good reason why it is not yet time for that. Jesus declared that he had to go SO THAT he could send the counselor who would teach them to understand and believe all that he had done and said for all people. This is what Pentecost would be the dramatic beginning of, a new era of God's kingdom work through Jesus' body, the Church. 



Listen in to learn more about why the Ascension is such a critical piece to God's plan for our salvation. 




Ephesians 4:7-16



But to each one of us grace has been given as Christ apportioned it. This is why it says:



"When he ascended on high,
    he took many captives
    and gave gifts to his people."



(What does "he ascended" mean except that he also descended to the lower, earthly regions? He who descended is the very one who ascended higher than all the heavens, in order to fill the whole universe.) So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.



    Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming. Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ. From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work.



This sermon was delivered on Ascension Day, 
May 9th, 2024, at St. Peter's Lutheran Church, Helenville, WI.]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[SBS = Sunday Bible Study



What is different between general hope and Christian hope? We say we hope for things all the time but we are uncertain if those things will become reality. But when it comes to hope talked about in the Bible in connection to God's promises, there is no doubt. Those things will happen. We have a certain hope!



After our Sunday worship service at 9am, we grab some coffee, treats, and settle in for a deep dive into God's Word and how it impacts our daily life as God's children in a godless world. 



On February 18, 2024, we began a new Bible study called, "The Anti-Fragile Christian," written by Rev. Luke Thompson who serves in Ottawa, Canada.



If you would like to follow along or do some additional work at home, here is a link to the study to view or download: https://resourcefulchurch.com/2020/10/10/the-anti-fragile-christian/ 



Thank you to Rev. Thompson for his work on this study and to all of you for diving into God's Word with us. 



This episode is the 8th (technically the 9th, we jumped over faith because of time!) lesson of the series called, "Hope Under the Cross." It was recorded on April 28, 2024.]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Jesus Prays for Me 



1. to Be United



2. to Be Glorified



Before Jesus died, actually on the night he would be betrayed and handed over to evil men, our Savior prayed for us. He didn't pray for an easy week, more rest, or a better life, instead, he prayed for those he loved. He prayed for you. His prayer was that in the days ahead, after his crucifixion, resurrection and ascension, the church would fight to stay united. He knew challenges and division were coming based in sin, selfishness, arrogance and so many other things. However, when we are in the Spirit and about the Spirit's mission, preaching the good news to all, he drives us to be united with anyone who listens and believes. Jesus also prayed that through all the challenges ahead, we would draw closer to Him and the hope of everlasting life in heaven. This is what it means to be glorified. 



As Jesus prepared for his own mission yet he prayed for us, let us also, as we face every challenge, continue to pray for the Church as a whole and for all those who will believe!



This sermon was delivered by Rev. Joel Jaeger from Ixonia, WI on May 5th, 2024.]]></content:encoded>

As they read each section of commentary, they give their personal reflections and comments for you to ruminate on and use as a springboard for your own personal study and growth as a child of God. May this be a blessing to you as you Bible Study. Godspeed!



In this episode, PG &amp; PT delve into 2 Thessalonians 3:6-18, our last section of 2 Thessalonians! This is the third and final topic of this letter, idleness. Some were not carrying their weight, either because culturally they felt they didn't need to or because they thought with the end close in the rearview mirror, there was no point in "working." Paul urges believers to take to task such people. This is to be done out of love and in order to lead those individuals into a healthy relationship with their faith and with their community. 



How does this apply to you? Are you being lazy? Have you despaired in your role in God's Kingdom, that you can serve, that you can be of benefit? Do you need accountability to step out of your rut? Do you need to be an accountability partner for someone in your life? Wrestle with these questions, brothers and sisters, with us!

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Pastor Gunnar Ledermann &amp; Pastor Titus Buelow continue their journey of reading the People's Bible Commentaries chapter by chapter, book by book. As they read each section of commentary, they give their personal reflections and comments for you to ruminate on and use as a springboard for your own personal study and growth as a child of God. May this be a blessing to you as you Bible Study. Godspeed!



In this episode, PG &amp; PT delve into 2 Thessalonians 2:9-12 and continue a discussion on the controversial topic of the "man of lawlessness" and THE Anti-Christ. What does this mean? Who or what could this be? What are the many anti-Christ spirits in the world and what is THE Anti-Christ? The honest question to ask is: What clues and descriptions does scripture give us? Who or what do they fit, even if we don't like the answer? What does that mean once we have settled in on the fulfillment? How do we respond and guard ourselves against this anti-faith enemy? This is PART 2 of this discussion. Make sure to check out the last episode of our PBC series for the first half of this important topic: https://spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/L8CKIA6VvJb



Tune in and join the discussion!

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Did you know that there are four different words for love in the Greek language while English only has one? Isn't it telling that for the Greeks love was a complicated thing and it literally was different depending on the relationship and the situation? This makes sense. It also then makes sense why there is so much confusion and dissension about what love is in western cultures, especially in the U.S.A. today. 



What can ancient Greek teach us about love through these different terms and more, what can Scripture teach us about what love is, especially the kind of love God gives freely to us, his rebellious children? How can he love us so and how can we begin to love like that? 



SBS = Sunday Bible Study



After our Sunday worship service at 9am, we grab some coffee, treats, and settle in for a deep dive into God's Word and how it impacts our daily life as God's children in a godless world. 



On February 18, 2024, we began a new Bible study called, "The Anti-Fragile Christian," written by Rev. Luke Thompson who serves in Ottawa, Canada.



If you would like to follow along or do some additional work at home, here is a link to the study to view or download: https://resourcefulchurch.com/2020/10/10/the-anti-fragile-christian/ 



Thank you to Rev. Thompson for his work on this study and to all of you for diving into God's Word with us. 



This episode is the 7th lesson of the series called, "Love Under the Cross." It was recorded on April 28, 2024.]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[There are a ton of things that we are invested in. We are "plugged" into social media, the news, politics, trends, hot products, new tech, sports, fitness, nutrition, entertainment, finances, school, books, etc.. but are we plugged into Jesus?



How much? Enough? Barely? Rarely?



Do our habits and schedules reflect the reality that only Jesus gives us power? Do we plan out our day, our week or our life to show we believe and know that Jesus alone can save us and it is only through His gospel that we can have real life now and eternal life in heaven? 



This sermon is a chance for you to audit your thinking and your choosing on a daily basis about what needs your time and attention. While many things are important and all things are gifts from God, only one thing is truly needful. So:



"Remain in me and I will remain in you" Jesus says. 



Let us remain in Him through worship, Bible Study, celebrating the Lord's Supper, remembering our Baptismal Identity, praying constantly, and making Jesus a daily focus of our attention and our love. 



This sermon was first delivered on April 28th, 2024 by Pastor Titus Buelow at St. Peter's Lutheran Church in Helenville, WI. 



The Sermon Text: John 15:1-8
I am the true vine, and my Father is the gardener. He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful. You are already clean because of the word I have spoken to you. Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me.

"I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. This is to my Father's glory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.]]></content:encoded>

While there are many "wise" people in our world, how does their wisdom fall short when the fundamental foundation of our existence is rejected? 



Discover why the wisdom of God helps us be anti-fragile in a very fragile world. 








SBS = Sunday Bible Study



After our Sunday worship service at 9am, we grab some coffee, treats, and settle in for a deep dive into God's Word and how it impacts our daily life as God's children in a godless world. 



On February 18, 2024, we began a new Bible study called, "The Anti-Fragile Christian," written by Rev. Luke Thompson who serves in Ottawa, Canada.



If you would like to follow along or do some additional work at home, here is a link to the study to view or download: https://resourcefulchurch.com/2020/10/10/the-anti-fragile-christian/ 



Thank you to Rev. Thompson for his work on this study and to all of you for diving into God's Word with us. 



This episode is the 6th lesson of the series called, "Wisdom Under the Cross." It was recorded on April 21, 2024.]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[There are a lot of shepherds, good, bad, and ugly. Whether those shepherds are in the government, in our community, in our church, or in our homes, many are in the business of "shepherding." Some do that because it is their job. Others because it would affect their livelihood and general happiness. Others, because that is what a good shepherd does. 



While there are many who fail constantly at being a good shepherd or even a nice one, Jesus never fails to be the good shepherd we need and more, who we are too afraid to even dream for. He lays down his life for his sheep. 



Let us meditate on just how awesome Jesus is and how much he has done and will do to shepherd us home to heaven. 








This sermon was first delivered on April 21, 2024 by Pastor Titus Buelow at St. Peter's Lutheran Church in Helenville, WI.





Sermon Text - John 10:11-18

"I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep. The hired hand is not the shepherd and does not own the sheep. So when he sees the wolf coming, he abandons the sheep and runs away. Then the wolf attacks the flock and scatters it. The man runs away because he is a hired hand and cares nothing for the sheep.




"I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me-- just as the Father knows me and I know the Father--and I lay down my life for the sheep. I have other sheep that are not of this sheep pen. I must bring them also. They too will listen to my voice, and there shall be one flock and one shepherd. The reason my Father loves me is that I lay down my life--only to take it up again. No one takes it from me, but I lay it down of my own accord. I have authority to lay it down and authority to take it up again. This command I received from my Father."

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[How could you understand or explain something you have never seen, heard, tasted, touched, or experienced in any way? If you had never seen the sky, how would you conceptualize it? If you had never seen color, how would you describe it? If you never felt something soft or rough, how would you tell the difference? 



This is our experience of God and the reality of our existence and world. Without the "light" of God's Spirit enlightening our understanding and experience of reality, we can't understand the truth about anything, including who he is and who we are. 



How does this concept affect the way we treat unbelievers and talk to them? How does this concept affect the way we view ourselves? How does this help us see why Jesus' makes clear that those who have been enlightened by the gospel will willingly give up their previous life and follow him even to death?



Join us on this philosophical and spiritual journey with God's Word and one another. 



This sermon was first delivered on April 14, 2024 by Pastor Titus Buelow at St. Peter's Lutheran Church, Helenville, WI.

Our sermon text: 1 John 1:5-2:2
This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.




If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word is not in us.




My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have an advocate with the Father--Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Pastor Gunnar Ledermann &amp; Pastor Titus Buelow continue their journey of reading the People's Bible Commentaries chapter by chapter, book by book. As they read each section of commentary, they give their personal reflections and comments for you to ruminate on and use as a springboard for your own personal study and growth as a child of God. May this be a blessing to you as you Bible Study. Godspeed!



In this episode, PG &amp; PT delve into 2 Thessalonians 2:1-8 and tackle the controversial topic of the "man of lawlessness" and THE Anti-Christ. What does this mean? Who or what could this be? What are the many anti-Christ spirits in the world and what is THE Anti-Christ? The honest question to ask is: What clues and descriptions does scripture give us? Who or what do they fit, even if we don't like the answer? What does that mean once we have settled in on the fulfillment? How do we respond and guard ourselves against this anti-faith enemy? 



Tune in and join the discussion!

As they read each section of commentary, they give their personal reflections and comments for you to ruminate on and use as a springboard for your own personal study and growth as a child of God. May this be a blessing to you as you Bible Study. Godspeed!



In this episode, PG &amp; PT work through 2 Thessalonians 1:1-12 that begins with grace and peace and ends with suffering, judgment of unbelievers, and the end of the world as we know it! This is an exciting beginning to Paul's second letter to the Thessalonians and to us.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[S = Sermon



The week after Easter, we read and remember the week after that first Easter. What were the disciples doing? They were hiding behind locked doors. They were processing everything that had happened. They were struggling to believe, to apply, to live the truth of Jesus' death and resurrection. 



Thomas, especially, was struggling a week later because he had not been with the disciples a week ago when Jesus first appeared to the rest of them behind those locked doors. But this week, he was there. He said he wouldn't believe unless he put his fingers in the holes of Jesus' nail marked hands and put his side into the cut open side of Jesus' spear wound. And yet, when Jesus appeared he fell down on the ground and worshipped. 



What stands in the way of you believing in what you have heard in the Bible? What stands in the way for you to put your trust in Jesus? Is it really about evidence or is it more about your trauma, your doubt, and your fear? 



How does God call you to believe as Jesus called Thomas to stop doubting and believe? 








This sermon was first delivered on April 7, 2024.]]></content:encoded>

After our Sunday worship service at 9am, we grab some coffee, treats, and settle in for a deep dive into God's Word and how it impacts our daily life as God's children in a godless world. 



On February 18, 2024, we began a new Bible study called, "The Anti-Fragile Christian," written by Rev. Luke Thompson who serves in Ottawa, Canada.



If you would like to follow along or do some additional work at home, here is a link to the study to view or download: https://resourcefulchurch.com/2020/10/10/the-anti-fragile-christian/ 



Thank you to Rev. Thompson for his work on this study and to all of you for diving into God's Word with us. 



This episode is the 5th lesson of the series called, "Self Control Under the Cross." It was recorded on April 7, 2024.]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[S = Sermon



This sermon was preached at St. Peter's Lutheran Church in Helenville, WI, on Easter, March 31, 2024.



Pastor Titus Buelow asked the challenging question, "What words will you engrave forever?" On your tombstone, what do you want your family and friends to write? What do you hope they say as they visit around your grave? Is that the current description you would give to your life?



This sobering question gets us to consider what our life is all about and what makes it worth the living. What makes our life more than a mad sprint until death? 



Job knew. Job knew life was more than earthly comforts, easy times, then tragedy, and even excruciating pain. Job had known and did know all of these things personally. And yet when he considers what he wants engraved in rock forever, he shares what is the most important message that transcends it all, "I know that my redeemer lives. And in my flesh, I will see the Lord. I myself will see him - with my own eyes! How my heart yearns within me."



Job knew that God would redeem his life, and bring him into his presence forever. This was a fact, a fact that helped him persevere through the doubt and fear of his troubles. 



May we learn from Job's endurance and faith!








Job 19:23-27
"Oh, that my words were recorded,
    that they were written on a scroll,
24 that they were inscribed with an iron tool on lead,
    or engraved in rock forever!
25 I know that my redeemer lives,
    and that in the end he will stand on the earth.
26 And after my skin has been destroyed,
    yet in my flesh I will see God;
27 I myself will see him
    with my own eyes--I, and not another.
    How my heart yearns within me!]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[S=Sermon



This sermon was preached on March 31st, 2024, at St. Peter's Lutheran Church in Helenville, WI, for the Easter Dawn Service at 7am.



Pastor Titus Buelow wrestles with the argument that could be made that Christians do not need to cry since Jesus has risen. He keeps his promises. He lives. We will live. He wins! Is that easy to do in practice, not crying? No. Mary illustrates why as she continues to cry despite standing face to face with angels and her risen Lord himself. However, that doesn't change the fact that she didn't NEED to cry, because everything wrong was going to be made right!



The sermon text is John 20:1-18:



Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance. 2 So she came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, and said, "They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don't know where they have put him!"



3 So Peter and the other disciple started for the tomb. 4 Both were running, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. 5 He bent over and looked in at the strips of linen lying there but did not go in. 6 Then Simon Peter came along behind him and went straight into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying there, 7 as well as the cloth that had been wrapped around Jesus' head. The cloth was still lying in its place, separate from the linen. 8 Finally the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went inside. He saw and believed. 9 (They still did not understand from Scripture that Jesus had to rise from the dead.) 10 Then the disciples went back to where they were staying.



11 Now Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb 12 and saw two angels in white, seated where Jesus' body had been, one at the head and the other at the foot.



13 They asked her, "Woman, why are you crying?"



"They have taken my Lord away," she said, "and I don't know where they have put him." 14 At this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realize that it was Jesus.



15 He asked her, "Woman, why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?"



Thinking he was the gardener, she said, "Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will get him."



16 Jesus said to her, "Mary."



She turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic, "Rabboni!" (which means "Teacher").



17 Jesus said, "Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, 'I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.'"



18 Mary Magdalene went to the disciples with the news: "I have seen the Lord!" And she told them that he had said these things to her.]]></content:encoded>

This sermon was delivered on Good Friday as a preface to reading the final seven statements or "words" of Jesus Christ before he died on the cross. Each word tells us something about Jesus' character, his mission, his commitment, and especially the depth of his love for humanity. 








Consider as you listen how different your final words may have been in his place. What would you have said to the teachers, the pharisees, the soldiers, your mother, your friends, your enemies, and even your own father? 








What will your final words be because of Him?]]></content:encoded>

He can use our sins and their consequences to accomplish greater good than we could have imagined. This is the process of repentance that allows us to see personally and see in others the fullness of raw grace. God truly makes us new and we are given a new life in him.]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[For this episode we have a special guest join us, Ms. Magnolia Buelow! She is our miracle child that "science" said would never be. However, God said she would be and she definitely is a healthy and spunky little girl! Listen in as Maggie shares her "wisdom" and also her God given faith. As we go, Steph and I can't help be overcome by the faith God gives to children and adults alike to trust when so much is unknown and scary. God sometimes has to take all security away before we are ready to have faith like that, but in the end, such faith is worth more than everything else combined. 

"Unless you have faith like one of these little children, you will not enter the Kingdom of God." - Jesus]]></content:encoded>

Do we appreciate the family of believers we have?
Do we get so caught up in personal pride that we destroy the family feel God has called us to embody? 
Join us for our first slice of humble pie!]]></content:encoded>

Should we celebrate Holloween as Christians? Does Santa Claus help communicate the true meaning of Christmas or take away from the greatest gift of all? Easter Bunny: a distraction? What about tattoos... a pagan practice or a neutral question? Is makeup telling God he didn't do a good enough job? We wrestle with all these questions and more to get to the heart of our hearts as we make decisions as children of God in a messed up world.]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[SBS = Sunday Bible Study



After our Sunday worship service at 9am, we grab some coffee, treats, and settle in for a deep dive into God's Word and how it impacts our daily life as God's children in a godless world. 



On February 18, 2024, we began a new Bible study called, "The Anti-Fragile Christian," written by Rev. Luke Thompson who serves in Ottawa, Canada.



If you would like to follow along or do some additional work at home, here is a link to the study to view or download: https://resourcefulchurch.com/2020/10/10/the-anti-fragile-christian/ 



Thank you to Rev. Thompson for his work on this study and to all of you for diving into God's Word with us. 



This episode is the third lesson of the series called, "Courage Under the Cross." It was recorded on March 17, 2024.]]></content:encoded>

After our Sunday worship service at 9am, we grab some coffee, treats, and settle in for a deep dive into God's Word and how it impacts our daily life as God's children in a godless world. 



On February 18, 2024, we began a new Bible study called, "The Anti-Fragile Christian," written by Rev. Luke Thompson who serves in Ottawa, Canada.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Could you imagine sacrificing your child because God told you to? That takes some extreme faith. But what if that child was a miraculous gift from that God. Would that make you more willing to give what was obviously an impossibility without that God? Does trust have a limit? God challenges Abraham to the ultimate test of faith, and we will wrestle with the very tough questions: Why? Would I be able to trust God like that?








The Text: Genesis 22:1-18



Some time later God tested Abraham. He said to him, "Abraham!"



"Here I am," he replied.



2 Then God said, "Take your son, your only son, whom you love--Isaac--and go to the region of Moriah. Sacrifice him there as a burnt offering on a mountain I will show you."



3 Early the next morning Abraham got up and loaded his donkey. He took with him two of his servants and his son Isaac. When he had cut enough wood for the burnt offering, he set out for the place God had told him about. 4 On the third day Abraham looked up and saw the place in the distance. 5 He said to his servants, "Stay here with the donkey while I and the boy go over there. We will worship and then we will come back to you."



6 Abraham took the wood for the burnt offering and placed it on his son Isaac, and he himself carried the fire and the knife. As the two of them went on together, 7 Isaac spoke up and said to his father Abraham, "Father?"



"Yes, my son?" Abraham replied.



"The fire and wood are here," Isaac said, "but where is the lamb for the burnt offering?"



8 Abraham answered, "God himself will provide the lamb for the burnt offering, my son." And the two of them went on together.



9 When they reached the place God had told him about, Abraham built an altar there and arranged the wood on it. He bound his son Isaac and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood. 10 Then he reached out his hand and took the knife to slay his son. 11 But the angel of the Lord called out to him from heaven, "Abraham! Abraham!"



"Here I am," he replied.



12 "Do not lay a hand on the boy," he said. "Do not do anything to him. Now I know that you fear God, because you have not withheld from me your son, your only son."



13 Abraham looked up and there in a thicket he saw a ram caught by its horns. He went over and took the ram and sacrificed it as a burnt offering instead of his son. 14 So Abraham called that place The Lord Will Provide. And to this day it is said, "On the mountain of the Lord it will be provided."



15 The angel of the Lord called to Abraham from heaven a second time 16 and said, "I swear by myself, declares the Lord, that because you have done this and have not withheld your son, your only son, 17 I will surely bless you and make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will take possession of the cities of their enemies, 18 and through your offspring all nations on earth will be blessed, because you have obeyed me."




"S" stands for Sermon.



This sermon was recorded on February 18, 2024, on the first Sunday of Lent at St. Peter's Lutheran Church in Helenville, WI. Preached by Rev. Titus Buelow.]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[S = Sermon



This sermon tackles the tough topic of what the Lord's Supper IS and what it means to participate in the body and blood of Jesus. 



Based on 1 Corinthians 10:16-17:



Is not the cup of thanksgiving for which we give thanks a participation in the blood of Christ? And is not the bread that we break a participation in the body of Christ? Because there is one loaf, we, who are many, are one body, for we all share the one loaf.



This sermon was delivered on March 28, 2024, on Maundy Thursday (Holy Thursday) by Pastor Titus Buelow at St. Peter's Lutheran Church in Helenville, WI.]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA["S" stands for Sermon.




We have a lot of leaders in our life. They give us very imperfect pictures of what a true King is supposed to look like in our life. Are we even ready to consider what a real king is supposed to look like? Are we too limited even in our wildest dreams of what THE KING is capable of and what he may be doing through the good and the bad that we see? 



This sermon challenges all of us to open our mind and heart to see the beauty of Jesus' actions on earth to help us imagine the actions he continues to do on our behalf in heaven.



May the Spirit open our soul to understand the mystery of our God and King!

Mark 1:1-11



As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples, saying to them, "Go to the village ahead of you, and just as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, which no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here. If anyone asks you, 'Why are you doing this?' say, 'The Lord needs it and will send it back here shortly.'"



They went and found a colt outside in the street,
tied at a doorway. As they untied it, some people standing there asked, "What are you doing, untying that colt?" They answered as Jesus had told them to, and the people let them go. When they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks over it, he sat on it. Many people spread their cloaks on the road, while others spread branches they had cut in the fields. Those who went ahead and those who followed shouted,



"Hosanna!" "Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!"



"Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David!"



"Hosanna in the highest heaven!"

How do you prepare for the moment that matters? When everything is on the line, will you step up or run away? Will you willingly embrace what comes or will you writhe and fight against reality? 



While that is an open question for us, depending on the situation, it isn't for our Savior. 



When the time came for him to set his jaw, straighten his path, and silently suffer for the sins of the world in our place, he did not hesitate. He did not flinch. He fully embraced his purpose in coming to earth in the first place, which was to become the Savior we needed him to be so that all who trust in him would be saved. Jesus' why was clear. He came for you!



May Jesus' determination to save us and his flawless actions on our behalf inspire us to be prepared for the times that will come for us, times of hardship and sorrow, persecution and even death. We too can face these with confidence and conviction because Jesus is for us, with us, and behind us now and forever!



Use this as your Christian pep talk:



Redeemed. I am redeemed. I am a child of God. No one can snatch me from my Father's hand. Jesus died for me. Jesus rose for me. Jesus lives in me. I matter. God has called me. He has a purpose for me. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. I am His. 

John 12:20-33
Now there were some Greeks among those who went up to worship at the festival. They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, with a request. "Sir," they said, "we would like to see Jesus." Philip went to tell Andrew; Andrew and Philip in turn told Jesus.



Jesus replied, "The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. Anyone who loves their life will lose it, while anyone who hates their life in this world will keep it for eternal life. Whoever serves me must follow me; and where I am, my servant also will be. My Father will honor the one who serves me.



"Now my soul is troubled, and what shall I say? 'Father, save me from this hour'? No, it was for this very reason I came to this hour. Father, glorify your name!"



Then a voice came from heaven, "I have glorified it, and will glorify it again." The crowd that was there and heard it said it had thundered; others said an angel had spoken to him. 



Jesus said, "This voice was for your benefit, not mine. Now is the time for judgment on this world; now the prince of this world will be driven out. And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself." He said this to show the kind of death he was going to die.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA["S" stands for Sermon.



What do people tell you not to do when you are near a steep cliff? Don't look down. Why? The ground rushes up at you. Dizziness may ensue. Looking down increases your fear. What should you do instead? Look ahead. Look up!



Spiritually speaking, God tells us to do the very same thing. When things are frightening or challenging, unexplainable or unbearable, what does God tell us to do? Look down? Maximize our problems? Dwell on how terrible things are? Ponder how we can save ourselves? No. He calls us to look up. He inspires us with his promise of grace and mercy to look to him and be saved. 



As simple and as confusing as a snake on a pole is to salvation from venom, so also the cross of Jesus is to our salvation from sin, death and the devil. And yet:

"Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the wilderness, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, that everyone who believes may have eternal life in him." For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.




The Text - Numbers 21:4-9



They traveled from Mount Hor along the route to the Red Sea, to go around Edom. But the people grew impatient on the way; 5they spoke against God and against Moses, and said, "Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? There is no bread! There is no water! And we detest this miserable food!"



Then the Lord sent venomous snakes among them; they bit the people and many Israelites died. 7The people came to Moses and said, "We sinned when we spoke against the Lord and against you. Pray that the Lord will take the snakes away from us." So Moses prayed for the people. The Lord said to Moses, "Make a snake and put it up on a pole; anyone who is bitten can look at it and live." So Moses made a bronze snake and put it up on a pole. Then when anyone was bitten by a snake and looked at the bronze snake, they lived. 








This sermon was delivered on March 10, 2024, at St. Peter's Lutheran Church (School Gym on this particular day) in Helenville, WI, and preached by Rev. Titus Buelow.]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA["S" stands for Sermon.



Why did Jesus flip a gasket when he entered the temple for worship? What enraged him so much about the money changers, the animals for sacrifice, and the "busyness" and the "business" in the temple courts?



Because Jesus was passionate about worship. 



What was going on wasn't what God wanted. It wasn't what worship was about, the manipulation, extortion, and self-glorification that was center stage instead of God's grace and mercy. That, after all, was the whole purpose of the temple. 



What about you? Are you passionate about worship? Should you get angry when church becomes about something other than grace and truth? Should you flip pews, raise your voice, and drive out those who only want to use you or tell you what they think vs. what God thinks?



Yes! 



God wants us to be passionate about worship. True worship. Let's talk about what that is...



The Text - John 2:13-22



When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover, Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 14 In the temple courts he found people selling cattle, sheep and doves, and others sitting at tables exchanging money. 15 So he made a whip out of cords, and drove all from the temple courts, both sheep and cattle; he scattered the coins of the money changers and overturned their tables. 16 To those who sold doves he said, "Get these out of here! Stop turning my Father's house into a market!" 17 His disciples remembered that it is written: "Zeal for your house will consume me."



18 The Jews then responded to him, "What sign can you show us to prove your authority to do all this?"



19 Jesus answered them, "Destroy this temple, and I will raise it again in three days."



20 They replied, "It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and you are going to raise it in three days?" 21 But the temple he had spoken of was his body. 22 After he was raised from the dead, his disciples recalled what he had said. Then they believed the scripture and the words that Jesus had spoken.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA["S" stands for Sermon.



Jesus made clear that his earthly ministry led to his own cross and subsequent resurrection. He also made clear that all who follow him would also be called to take up a cross and follow him to death and to life thereafter. 



That is a hard truth to swallow. How can we accept this? Why would we willingly follow someone who leads us into pain? Even more, how could we boast about this? How could we glory in our sufferings? 



In Romans chapter 5, Paul doesn't pull any punches as he delves deep into this very difficult topic and makes a powerful case why we can and will boast in the glory of God and glory in our sufferings. Tune in!




The Text - Romans 5:1-11



 Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. 3 Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; 4 perseverance, character; and character, hope. 5 And hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.



6 You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. 7 Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. 8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.



9 Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God's wrath through him! 10 For if, while we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life! 11 Not only is this so, but we also boast in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA["I want a church that..." How would you complete that statement? Would you focus on size--big or small? Would you think more about style--formal versus laid back? Is it certain desired church programs that come to mind? What exactly do you want in a church?

In this worship series, we see that that is not the right question. Scripture says Jesus bought the Church with his blood. So, the right question then becomes: what does God want in a church? You might find a church that runs all the youth programs you want or has a vibe that you enjoy or is in your ideal location. But if that church is not doing what Christ wants it do, then it really is not a spiritually healthy place to be. So, let us think about the church God wants. What does it look like? What are its priorities? What does it all do? Our worship follows this pattern:

AUG 24 &amp; 27 - A Church That Really Knows Jesus
AUG 31 &amp; SEP 3 - A Church That Takes Up Its Crosses
SEP 7 &amp; 10 - A Church Willing to Say Hard Things
SEP 14 &amp; 17 - A Church That's Quick to Forgive]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Life is full of either/or moments where you face an unavoidable choice between two alternatives. Some of those moments are relatively insignificant. Either I have the chicken, or I have the fish. Other times, they shape the course of your life. Either I accept this new job offer, or I keep my current job for the remainder of my career. Either I accept his marriage proposal, or.... Some either/or moments are bigger than others. 

Here is the biggest either/or of them all. Either Jesus is still dead, or Jesus rose. One might ask, "How does that either/or affect me?" Because Jesus claimed to be the Son of God and Savior from sin. He said the proof is that he would rise from the dead. "The Son of Man must suffer many things ... be killed and after three days rise again" (Mark 8:31). Thus, if Jesus remains dead, he is both failure and fraud. However, if Jesus rose from the dead, he proves he is who he claimed to be--the Messiah. And he did what he came to do--save us. 

Either Jesus is still dead, or Jesus rose. That means, either Jesus is a complete waste of your time, or he is your only hope for salvation. If Jesus is still dead, it is completely logical that you should want nothing to do with him. If Jesus rose, it is only logical that he becomes the center and greatest priority of your life. Either Jesus is still dead, or Jesus rose. This season of Easter is a 50-day-long celebration of the fact that the Holy Spirit has answered that either/or for us. We believe this life-changing truth. Christ is risen! He lives! Throughout this season, we explore what that means. Our worship follows this path:  

Easter Dawn - He Lives to Dry Tears and Remove Fears 
Festival of the Resurrection - He Lives to Take Me from Death to Life 
Second Sunday of Easter - He Lives to Give Me Proof and Peace 
Third Sunday of Easter - He Lives to Restore My Hope 
Fourth Sunday of Easter - He Lives to Be My Good Shepherd
Fifth Sunday of Easter - He Lives to Be the Only Way to Heaven 
Sixth Sunday of Easter - He Lives and Calls Me to Live for Him 
Festival of Ascension - He Lives to Rule All Things for the Church 
Seventh Sunday of Easter - He Lives to Give Me Eager Expectation of Glory 
Festival of Pentecost - He Lives to Pour Out His Spirit]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[What do you really need right now? To answer that question, one must first define what a "need" is. We understand that a "need" is greater than a "want." If you lack something you want, life goes on just fine. If you lack something you need, that presents a problem. Thus, to correctly answer that question, "What do you really need right now," ultimately one must understand their greatest problems.

Mankind's greatest problems are universal. We all live under the curse of sin. That sin makes us utterly helpless in our natural state. Natural man is confused, unable to make sense of life. Left in sin, man is doomed to death, and not just physical death. After one's heart stops comes another type of death that is infinitely worse, an eternal nightmare. 

Lent is the season of the Church Year where we wrestle with our greatest needs. Lent also demonstrates that in Christ, all our greatest needs are met. Here is what the Spirit makes clear this season. If you lack Christ, you have nothing. If you have Christ, you have everything you truly need. 

Join us for worship on Sundays @ 9am or Wednesdays @ 6:30pm. May God bless our walk to the cross so that we may see his sacrifice for us.]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[The Gospels tell only a little about Jesus' life as an infant. Then, St. Luke briefly discusses the desire of the boy Jesus to be in the temple. Then, Scripture falls silent, telling us nothing about almost two decades of Jesus' life. For most of Jesus' adult life, he lived quietly in Galilee, practicing the carpentry he had learned from his adoptive father, Joseph. Jesus had no followers. Jesus was not famous. But at the exact time God the Father had appointed, Jesus left that obscurity behind. The word epiphany means "appearance." In the Season of Epiphany, we watch Jesus begin his public ministry. Jesus makes his first appearances. And in those appearances, it quickly becomes clear that this is more than a random carpenter's son. As Jesus appears, we see exactly who he is and what he came to do. 

Our worship for three weeks will follow this pattern: 
Jesus Appears as the Anointed One
Jesus Appears as the Lamb of God
Jesus Appears as the Light in the Darkness]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[The first Christmas sermon was preached to a small congregation consisting entirely of shepherds. The preacher was an angel. The message of his sermon? "Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you."



That is a heavy word: Savior. It says as much about us as it does about this child. If the angel had said "a teacher has been born" or "a mentor has been born," it would mean that within us exists the potential to fix all that is wrong with the world. It would mean we just need a bit of help: a coach, a mentor, a source of inspiration. But the angel said, "A Savior has been born." If one needs saving, it means he is totally helpless--completely lost--doomed, without outside intervention. That is how God the Father viewed us: helpless, lost, doomed. So, he sent more than a coach. He sent his only Son to be our Savior. 


After December 25 the secular world is done with Christmas. But for the Church, the season of Christmas has just begun. For twelve glorious days--The Twelve Days of Christmas--we will ponder the nativity of the Son of God. We will celebrate what that nativity means. A Savior is born!]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[We sometimes use the word faith very casually. "You got to have faith." "Keep the faith." "Make a leap of faith." As Jesus' journey to Jerusalem nears its conclusion, he begins to talk about faith in ways that are anything but casual. He says profound things about the power of faith: "If you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' and it will obey you" (Luke 17:6). Or "Your faith has made you well" (Luke 17:19). In thinking about his second coming, Christ wistfully wonders, "When the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?" 



Jesus' words are serious and compelling. They force us to consider what true, saving faith is. They make us ask if we have such faith. But most of all, Jesus' words move us to run to our God and beg him for more of it. Lord, increase our faith!]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA["Jesus went through the towns and villages, teaching as he made his way to Jerusalem" (Luke 13:22). Jesus knows that when he gets to Jerusalem, he is going to die. If you expect Jesus to use these final teaching opportunities to share happy thoughts, you don't know him well. With a sense of extreme urgency, Jesus shares truths we need to hear, even if we do not want to hear them. As Jesus teaches hard truth, he challenges conventional wisdom. He reverses the normal and natural order of things. This should not surprise us, considering this Teacher's life and work are the opposite of what one would expect. 

When the truth is hard to hear, the first temptation is to deny it. We cannot do that with Jesus' teaching, for he never lies. When the truth is hard to hear, the second temptation is to simply ignore it. To do that with Jesus is to court eternal death. Thus, Jesus' words contain an urgent warning: Listen! Take to heart what Jesus says! For his Word, though it contains hard truth, gives eternal life.]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[A unique feature of Luke's Gospel is the section in the middle often called "the travel narrative." This lengthy section began in chapter 9 when Luke told us that Jesus "resolutely set out for Jerusalem" (v51). While there are many events and side trips that occur during this travel narrative, Luke regularly stresses that nothing is going to dissuade Jesus from going to Jerusalem where he will fulfill his life's mission. Jesus was very focused.



Jesus' mission and the purpose of this journey was not to gain an earthly crown. Throughout this travel narrative, Jesus makes clear that this world was not his real home. He teaches that this world is not our real home either. Jesus is focused on heaven. His mission is to get us there by going to Jerusalem and making the ultimate sacrifice to pay for our sin. Nothing would stop him. "He set his face like flint," Isaiah tells us (50:7). Jesus was focused. 


As we watch the focused actions of our Savior... as we focus carefully on his words... something wonderful happens. Jesus gives focus to our lives. We finally see things clearly: how to love our neighbor, the true purpose of worship, the blessing of prayer, what is treasure (and what is not). In this series, as Christ speaks to us through his Word, may he make us properly focused.]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[To the world he seemed like a defeated man: opposed and killed by his enemies, his followers scattered in fear. Yet three days after Jesus' death he rose victorious from the dead. Nothing would ever be the same. The rest of eternity is now a victory march for the risen Christ. During Easter, we should not think of ourselves as passive observers in Christ's victory. We are more than fans cheering for our favorite athlete! Rather, we are active participants in Christ's triumph. Just as his death was our death, so also his life is our life. Buried with Christ in baptism, our life is now hidden with him on high. The victory is ours, now and forever. 

Easter is more than a day. It is an entire joyful season. The six solemn weeks of Lent are eclipsed by seven weeks of unbridled joy. These seven weeks correspond to the period of fifty days on the Jewish calendar between Passover and Pentecost. The Church reserves its highest praise for the Easter season. We do not merely watch from the sidelines as Christ marches in victory over sin, death, Satan, and hell. We join in the festal procession!]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA["Holiday" is simply short for "holy day." Throughout the course of a year, there are certain days we set apart as special:  to commemorate extraordinary events, to celebrate influential individuals. While there are many holy days, there is  but one holy week. The final week of Lent marks the most pivotal week in human history. In the four gospels-- biographies of Jesus Christ's thirty-three-year life--this single week consumes nearly a third of the ink. The Holy  Spirit considered the events of this week that important.  On a holy day, the relentless march of time slows down. We set aside our usual routines to call attention to whatever  or whoever makes that day special. Likewise, believers slow down this entire week to ponder all that Christ did for  them, from his humble entrance into Jerusalem... to his sacrificial death on the cross... to the victory of Easter morning.]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[When someone is devastated or defeated or despondent, we speak of him being "crushed." It could be due to some agonizing loss or unrealized dreams. It could be due to carrying a crushingly heavy load of guilt over some past mistake. In a broken world, it is simply a matter of time before we feel crushed. This is why we need Lent. The word Lent comes from an Old English word for Spring: "lengten," when the days grow longer. For 1,400 years, the Church has set aside the 40 days between Ash Wednesday and Easter as a time of repentance and renewal. Believers humbly acknowledge that sin is the ultimate source of all the crushing moments within life. Our sin even crushed Christ. Yet on Easter Sunday morning, Jesus took up his life again. Our Savior crushed both death and the serpent's head. Yes, Lent is a solemn season. But it is also a season of great hope. With the psalmist we say, "The Lord saves those who are crushed in spirit."

Lent begins Ash Wednesday, March 2, 2022. Join us here or in person!]]></content:encoded>

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[A baby is born every 12 seconds. That's 140 million babies born each year. Yet there is something that sets this child apart from all others. It is not simply his humble beginnings, with a cattle trough as his first cradle. It is not just the miraculous nature of his birth, his mother being a virgin. There is so much more. This child is the only hope we have for peace and a future. This child can wipe away every tear, drive away every fear. Here is the truth of Christmas. With this child, you lack nothing. Without him, you have nothing. Let us use this season of Christmas to answer this most important question: WHAT CHILD IS THIS?

Join us:
Friday, December 24th at 5:30pm -- Christmas Eve Service led by our K-8 school children through The Word and Song.
Saturday, December 25th at 9am -- Christmas Day Service focused on the mystery of Jesus' incarnation.

Friday, December 31 at 6:30PM -- New Year's Eve Service to review and remember all God has and will continue to do for us.

                                    <content:encoded><![CDATA[Being part of the Church also means being part of something new, something different. Jesus is more than a token of good luck or a symbol of fortune. He is our Savior and he has saved us from this world. This includes all of the things the world and our old sinful nature urge us to seek as poor imitations of what only God can give. Jesus calls us to live through him, like him, and for him. In order to think differently like this, we need to constantly be in God's Word so that through it, God may strengthen and renew us every day.]]></content:encoded>

The Church is the body of Christ, each limb, bone, muscle, tendon all serving a different and beautiful purpose for the body as a whole. God needs you and your uniqueness to be a part of our shared mission to be filled by God and his love and to fill others with all that we have received from God. We are stronger together because of our beautiful diversity.]]></content:encoded>

Even our own neighborhoods are divided by tradition, stereotypes, morality, and pride. We often find it too easy to allow this division to take a permanent place in our minds and in the way we act. However, God calls us to overcome all division with this unifying reality: We are all bought and paid for by God's own blood. Jesus came to save all people. He came to unite the proud, the dignified, the lowly, the humble, the good, the bad, the ugly, the "righteous", the unrighteous, the Jews and the Gentiles. We are all united by our need for Jesus and then even more in the Church as we are all united in our possession of Him.]]></content:encoded>
