Prayer Request

Please pray for Joyce Pietzschke as she is recovering from a fall. 

Wednesday, Oct. 30, 2013

DEVOTION: Matthew 8:18-22¹⁸ When Jesus saw the crowd around him, he gave orders to cross to the other side of the lake. ¹⁹ Then a teacher of the law came to him and said, "Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go."
²⁰ Jesus replied, "Foxes have dens and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head."
²¹ Another disciple said to him, "Lord, first let me go and bury my father."
²² But Jesus told him, "Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead." 
 
Is following Jesus easy?  Yes and no.  It is easy because it only depends on the Holy Spirit leading us.  It is hard because the world is constantly trying to pull us away from the Holy Spirit with temptations and enticements like money, things, physical comforts, and temporary fixes.  We end up with the hardship that sin and Satan brings.  All the time Jesus is saying, "Come to me all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest for your soul.  Take my yoke upon you for my yoke is easy and my burden is light."
 
All it takes is surrendering our lives to Him.  Unfortunately, too many of us don't want to do this.  We don't listen to God, and instead listen to man, which always causes us problems.  We think we can manipulate, change and even ignore God's Word for man's Word knowing all the time that this only brings trouble. 
 
All it takes is turning back to him, but we are often too proud and too self centered to want to humble ourselves and do what jesus wants us to do, confess, repent, and turn to Him. 
 
And so we pray:  Lord God, turn me from sin to You, that I may live in peace and do Your will with my life, so that You may be honored, praised, and enjoyed.  Amen.

TUESDAY'S QUIZ:  What does the parable of the yeast mean in Matthew 13:33?  The church can grow exponentially if we just let it.  All we have to do is mix in the kingdom of God (Jesus). 
 
 
Here is the answer from Dianne, also a good one.
Parable of Yeast is similar to the Mustard Seed, both are growing but the difference is how much.  In the parable of the
Mustard Seed, Jesus says it (the Kingdom of Heaven) will grow to a large size.
 
Parable of the Yeast is a parable about the Kingdom of Heaven too. The yeast is the Kingdom of Heaven and the
dough is the world.  The yeast will slowly grow into something much larger like the Kingdom of Heaven.  We should
be like the yeast in the dough and help the Kingdom of Heaven permeate throughout the world.

Now if you are a Sunday school age student and wish to be part of the program, please come to Sunday school as much as possible for the next nine weeks.

Besides the traditional songs we will sing as a group we will also be doing the ushering, offering, and readings for the service. Any age students may participate in the background support rolls. We are also looking for students to play their instruments and/or sing a special piece. If you are interested please contact Karin Klaustermeier or Donna Sherman.

POSSIBLE TRIP TO THE CREATION MUSEUM NEXT SPRING OR SUMMER

 

Hey parents of Sunday School Students!
We have a grand idea to take the kids to the Creation Museum! This would be a trip we would raise the money for the expense. We have a starting fundraiser idea and hope to get matching funds from Thrivent.

Are you interested in having your kids take a learning journey that may be the cornerstone of their faith for the years ahead? Parents are welcome to come along. We are in the early idea stages, but we would take the six hour trip by motor coach to the museum and plan to spend the night near by in order to take advantage of the special tickets you can use two days in a row.

DEVOTION: 
The Parables of the Mustard Seed and the Yeast
³¹ He told them another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field. ³² Though it is the smallest of all seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds come and perch in its branches."
³³ He told them still another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into about sixty pounds^[a] of flour until it worked all through the dough."
³⁴ Jesus spoke all these things to the crowd in parables; he did not say anything to them without using a parable. ³⁵ So was fulfilled what was spoken through the prophet:

"I will open my mouth in parables,
    I will utter things hidden since the creation of the world."^[b]

The Parable of the Weeds Explained

³⁶ Then he left the crowd and went into the house. His disciples came to him and said, "Explain to us the parable of the weeds in the field."
³⁷ He answered, "The one who sowed the good seed is the Son of Man. ³⁸ The field is the world, and the good seed stands for the people of the kingdom. The weeds are the people of the evil one, ³⁹ and the enemy who sows them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels.
⁴⁰ "As the weeds are pulled up and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of the age. ⁴¹ The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil. ⁴² They will throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. ⁴³ Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Whoever has ears, let them hear.

The Parables of the Hidden Treasure and the Pearl

⁴⁴ "The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field.
⁴⁵ "Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant looking for fine pearls. ⁴⁶ When he found one of great value, he went away and sold everything he had and bought it.

The Parable of the Net

⁴⁷ "Once again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was let down into the lake and caught all kinds of fish. ⁴⁸ When it was full, the fishermen pulled it up on the shore. Then they sat down and collected the good fish in baskets, but threw the bad away. ⁴⁹ This is how it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous ⁵⁰ and throw them into the blazing furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
⁵¹ "Have you understood all these things?" Jesus asked.
"Yes," they replied.
⁵² He said to them, "Therefore every teacher of the law who has become a disciple in the kingdom of heaven is like the owner of a house who brings out of his storeroom new treasures as well as old."
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jesus often had to speak in parables.  He spoke them for many reasons, one was that Jesus used every day things to explain the kingdom of heaven to us and to give to us supernatural heavenly things.
 
We are, by nature earthly creatures who don't really comprehend or even fathom heavenly things.  So our Lord uses the things we understand like yeast, fishing nets, treasures and pearls to help us to understand the real and unfathomable things of God. 
 
Jesus was telling them in verse 52 that those who have heard the Gospel and become disciples have both the goodness of the Law and the grace of the Gospel.  He was telling them that they have the God's will and God's grace when we don't do His will.  Both the Law and the Gospel are good.  They both do good things for us.  The old treasure is the Law of God, the Ten Commandments, the old covenant.  The new treasure is the Gospel, the salvation of God, Jesus Himself. 
 
As Paul says, "we agree that the Law is good."  I am so glad for the law, not only because it shows me how sinful I am, but also because it shows me God's will and what He wants me to do out of love for Him. 
 
Let us pray:  Lord God, help me to love Your Law and Your Gospel.  They are both Your will.  And even though I am unable to keep the Law perfectly, help me to appreciate it and follow it to honor and praise you and to love others as You have loved me.  Amen.
