DEVOTION: Psalm 19 English Standard Version (ESV)

The Law of the Lord Is Perfect

To the choirmaster. A Psalm of David.

19 The heavens declare the glory of God,
    and the sky above^[a] proclaims his handiwork.
²Day to day pours out speech,
    and night to night reveals knowledge.
³There is no speech, nor are there words,
    whose voice is not heard.
⁴Their voice^[b] goes out through all the earth,
    and their words to the end of the world.
In them he has set a tent for the sun,
⁵    which comes out like a bridegroom leaving his chamber,
    and, like a strong man, runs its course with joy.
⁶Its rising is from the end of the heavens,
    and its circuit to the end of them,
    and there is nothing hidden from its heat.

⁷The law of the Lord is perfect,^[c]
    reviving the soul;
the testimony of the Lord is sure,
    making wise the simple;
⁸the precepts of the Lord are right,
    rejoicing the heart;
the commandment of the Lord is pure,
    enlightening the eyes;
⁹the fear of the Lord is clean,
    enduring forever;
the rules^[d] of the Lord are true,
    and righteous altogether.
¹⁰More to be desired are they than gold,
    even much fine gold;
sweeter also than honey
    and drippings of the honeycomb.
¹¹Moreover, by them is your servant warned;
    in keeping them there is great reward.

¹²Who can discern his errors?
    Declare me innocent from hidden faults.
¹³Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins;
    let them not have dominion over me!
Then I shall be blameless,
    and innocent of great transgression.

¹⁴Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
be acceptable in your sight,
O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.

As you read this, doesn't it make you just want to say, WOOHOO! David is recounting everything about God and he can't find one fault. There Is nothing about the Lord's law that isn't perfect, sure, right, pure, clean or true. His will is perfect!

So why is it , even after we know these things, that we would rather not do his will ? Why would we rather run after gold than study and search his commandments and his rules, and learn to fear him which is much more precious? The answers to this question are many and none of them are good. The core answer is that by our very nature we are sinful. From the moment we were brought into being we were tainted with sin. Just by virtue of being born of two human parents we are sinful. So we cannot, by our own reason or strength believe in Jesus Christ or come to him. We can't do his will!

Thankfully the Holy Spirit has called us by the Gospel, enlightened us with his gifts of His Word and His Sacraments of Baptism and the Lord's Supper, sanctified and kept us in the one true faith! Since we have been called, gathered, enlightened, and sanctified, the Holy Spirit now lives in us. So now, just like David, we can exclaim that his law is perfect, sure, right, pure, clean and true! We can love his law and realize that his will is good for us. We don't always act like it is, but it is.

So Christians, let's praise God for his law! Let's bless the Lord for all the good he gives and does! Let's thank the Lord for revealing his will to us so that, by His power and because of his mercy and grace we can do it.

Let us pray: Lord, thank you for your revealing your will to us. It is most certainly just and right. Holy Spirit, make us treat your will with the respect, honor, and fear you deserve, and give us the power and strength to do it. Amen.

YESTERDAY'S QUIZ: What are burnt offerings?

Pat King: Well, duh! Read Don's answer to yesterday's quiz! Sorcerers, spiritists, mediums, and fortune tellers were the burnt offerings!

Not the answer you want? Of course not.

So, in addition to the ones already named – plus meals cooked by new brides - they were animals – as set forth by God in the book of Leviticus. Specifically Leviticus 1: 1-17. But if anyone wants to know the full-meal-deal on this matter, here's what the Jews themselves have to say (and it's a LOT!): ewishencyclopedia.com/articles/3847-burnt-offering

Don Nolte: The animals that were killed for sacrifices and the bodies were completely consumed by fire.

TODAY'S QUIZ: What were children who were born of a forbidden union not allowed to do?

_________________________________________________________________________

NEWS:

WE ARE CHANGING THE WAY WE EDUCATE OUR KIDS AND GROW THEM IN THE FAITH AT ST.JOHN'S!!

THE TWO MOST IMPORTANT FACTORS TO GROW CHILDREN IN THE FAITH

Parents must be involved and take ownership of the faith formation of their children. Gone are the days of just dropping your kids off at Sunday school so that "the church" can teach them the faith. I don't know about you, but I learned how to live the faith from my parents the most.
The church must be a supplement, help, and encouragement to the parents (not the primary source of faith formation).

To help parents in their duties as the primary growers of the faith of their children we are going to start two new programs at St. John's.

1. The first is called Faith5. This is a very simple yet profound thing that families will learn to do together in their own homes each night/day. The basics are very simple. It can be done whenever the family can all get together. The example I'm going to use is right before bed, so the first one to want to go to sleep calls the huddle. The family then gets together in the bedroom of the person who called the huddle, at the kitchen table, or wherever, and they do these five things

1. Share- Each person shares the highs and Lows of the day

2. Read- Bible reading or Story

3. Talk- Application of reading to the day

4. Pray- Pray about the day

5. Blessing- A kiss, a hug, a benediction

Although this sounds simple, we want to get the most out of the very short amount of time we have with our kids. We also always want to be better parents, especially when it comes to the faith upbringing of our kids, so we will have a Faith5 Training for parents beginning on Sunday, April 15 during Sunday school time at 9:45. PLEASE SIGN UP WITH PASTOR FOR THIS TRAINING!!!! It will be done on Sunday, May 27.

2.The second is called Bible Song Cross Gen. It is called this, because every lesson revolves around a Bible song that coincides with the lesson for the week. It will begin on WEDNESDAY, MAY 30 AND WILL BE EVERY WEDNESDAY FROM 6pm-7pm. Parents are strongly encouraged to stay with their children.

Here is the schedule:

6:00-6:20-- Bible Song, Skit, and Story

6:20-6:50—Family Group Time (Practicing Faith5 in a church family setting)

6:50-7- Closing

As with any good church program volunteers are key! We need people to step up and take ownership of this program to make it successful! Here are somethings we will need:

1. Parents stay with kids!!

2. Skit Group (3 or 4) (Sign Up to volunteer to help)

3. Art attack coordinators (2 or 3) (Sign Up with Pastor to volunteer to help)

4. Group Leaders (2 or 3) (Sign Up with Pastor to volunteer to help)

3.What are we gonna do with Sunday school?

For the most part, it is going to go away, but For parents who still want some adult Bible study time, or just want to get out and do grocery shopping without kids, we'll have a very unstructured and informal time on Sunday mornings. (Play time, videos, Bible story book.) Like all the rest of this stuff, it will only be as good as those who take ownership. Right now, Karin Klaustermeier and Naomi Johnson are the only ones who lead your kids on Sunday mornings. It would be good to get two or three more trusted adults to lead this, and then each person would only have to do it once a month. (A big shout out should also go to Torre Statler and Taryn Linke for doing a Bible study with the high school kids when they show up.)

LENTEN MIDWEEK SUPPER WEDNESDAY at 5:30 AND WORSHIP AT 6:30

Supper- Turkey, Dressing (Stuffing), green beans, applesauce, dessert.

Worship--This year during our Lenten worship we're going to do something different. We will be doing an interactive message time in which we will all formulate our own versions of the "Gospel in seven words".

If someone were to come to you and ask you to tell them what you believe in seven words or less, what would you say? In this fast paced, information age, you may not have much more than that to get the Gospel out to someone. How would you respond to that request?

I am very excited to see how we come up with our conclusions and what our extremely concise profession and confessions of faith will look like! You'll have to join us on Wednesday to find out what it's all about!!

YOUTH GROUP STEAK DINNER AND AUCTION IS SATURDAY, MARCH 10!!

Tickets will go on sale at church this weekend after services.

AUCTION ITEMS ARE NEEEDED!!

If you have any good items that they youth could use for the auction, please bring them by church any time we're open! If you leave something when pastor isn't there just put a note on it saying it was from you! Thank you in advance!

RETIREMENT SEMINARS SCHEDULED FOR TUESDAY, APRIL 3 AND TUESDAY APRIL 24 AT 6PM!!

Denny Hagan from Eldercare Associates will be here on April 3 to talk about Identity protection and Asset preservation. And then again on April 24 to talk about Social Security. ICE CREAM WILL BE SERVED!!

DEVOTION: Romans 5:1-11 English Standard Version (ESV)

Peace with God Through Faith

5 Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we^[a] have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. ²Through him we have also obtained access by faith^[b] into this grace in which we stand, and we^[c]rejoice^[d] in hope of the glory of God. ³Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, ⁴and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, ⁵and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.

⁶For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. ⁷For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die— ⁸but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. ⁹Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God. ¹⁰For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, now that we are reconciled, shall we be saved by his life.¹¹More than that, we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation.

I hope you understand from this that God the Father does not hold anything against you. You are at peace with him. And as long as you remain in faith and believe that Jesus died on the cross for you, he will continue to have nothing against you. He will always forgive you and love you.

You know when you are truly "at peace" with someone, how you want to show them you love them and care for them? Don't you do the things that they he or she likes you to do? Don't you try to make them happy?

Think about what happens to you and to your heart when you truly believe and receive God's forgiveness and love. It changes you, doesn't it? Doesn't the realization that all of your sins are forgiven for all eternity give you a new and better perspective on life? Doesn't it make you want to go and forgive others the same way God has forgiven you? Doesn't it make you want to live a life that is pleasing to God and that honors him? Doesn't it make you want to get rid of the sin and stay away from temptations as much as possible? Doesn't it make you want to acknowledge him in every part of your life? Doesn't it make you want to surrender to him out of love and honor and let him have his way with your life?

Make no mistake. God has truly sent His Son into the world to save sinners of whom I am the worst. Christ died for you while you were still his enemy. He turned you from his enemy into his child. The Father sent the Son, and the Son accomplished everything the Father sent him to do. It has all been done for you. How you live your life and how people see you is a response to God's never ending love and forgiveness for you! Trust in his real and true forgiveness and love and let it take you over, body and soul!

Prayer: Lord, thank you for dying for me even though I was your enemy. Thank you for giving me forgiveness and life through holy baptism and through faith. Help me to trust in your love for me more each day so that my whole life may honor you and witness to your love. Amen.

DEVOTION: Genesis 17:1-7, 15-16 English Standard Version (ESV)

Abraham and the Covenant of Circumcision

17 When Abram was ninety-nine years old the Lord appeared to Abram and said to him, "I am God Almighty;^[a] walk before me, and be blameless, ²that I may make my covenant between me and you, and may multiply you greatly." ³Then Abram fell on his face. And God said to him, ⁴"Behold, my covenant is with you, and you shall be the father of a multitude of nations. ⁵No longer shall your name be called Abram,^[b] but your name shall be Abraham,^[c] for I have made you the father of a multitude of nations. ⁶I will make you exceedingly fruitful, and I will make you into nations, and kings shall come from you. ⁷And I will establish my covenant between me and you and your offspring after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and to your offspring after you.

¹⁵And God said to Abraham, "As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but Sarah^[a] shall be her name. ¹⁶I will bless her, and moreover, I will give^[b] you a son by her. I will bless her, and she shall become nations; kings of peoples shall come from her.

Every three years this reading comes up after the reading we had last week about Abraham's almost sacrifice of his son, Isaac. I don't know why it comes after it, but I'm sure the guys who put the lectionary together had a reason. Maybe it was as a reminder of why God commanded Abraham to sacrifice his son.

What I mean by that is this. God needed Abraham to know that He was the most important person in his life. It wouldn't be Isaac. What happens to a lot of parents is that their kids become idols. They become THE most important thing to them. Contrary to popular belief, your kids aren't the most important person to you. God is!

Don't get carried away here. I'm not saying that your kids aren't important. What I am saying is that there needs to be a distinctive order. You can't put your kids above God. For instance, God says bring your kids to church. You say, but my kids have soccer on Sunday, or my son is so tired and he really likes to sleep in on Sunday. Do you get what I mean? What is most important to you? Sure, you can worship God anywhere, but what does the Lord say in his commandment? Remember the Sabbath Day by keeping it holy.

Sure, give your kids every opportunity afforded to them. Help them to succeed in everything, but don't do it in spite of their faith. Don't do it in spite of their relationship with the Lord. All of us parents, including myself, have something to repent of when it comes to this.

This Sunday I am going to have a meeting with as many parents and kids as will show up. It is going to be a time that we get together to discuss the faith of our children and what we can do to help to increase that faith. If you are a parent of a kids 0-18 I expect you to be there for this meeting. Please RSVP TODAY so I know you'll be there!

Prayer: Lord, thank you for giving me my children as a gift. Help me to treat them as gifts from you and not as idols. Amen.
