Psalm 124 English Standard Version (ESV)

124 If it had not been the Lord who was on our side—
    let Israel now say—
² if it had not been the Lord who was on our side
    when people rose up against us,
³ then they would have swallowed us up alive,
    when their anger was kindled against us;
⁴ then the flood would have swept us away,
    the torrent would have gone over us;
⁵ then over us would have gone
    the raging waters.

⁶ Blessed be the Lord,
    who has not given us
    as prey to their teeth!
⁷ We have escaped like a bird
    from the snare of the fowlers;
the snare is broken,
    and we have escaped!

⁸ Our help is in the name of the Lord,
    who made heaven and earth.

FW: update on a prayer request

 

 

Hi Pastor,

I just wanted to update all who have been praying for Mark's Godfather Steve.

His surgery went well and he is starting to recover nicely if…in his wife's words "would just learn he needs slow down so he can recover".

They removed another suspicious nodule last week and today the results are that it is benign.

Thank God and thank you to everyone who has prayed for this wonderful man!

Mark 4:26-34 English Standard Version (ESV)

The Parable of the Seed Growing

²⁶ And he said, "The kingdom of God is as if a man should scatter seed on the ground. ²⁷ He sleeps and rises night and day, and the seed sprouts and grows; he knows not how. ²⁸ The earth produces by itself, first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear. ²⁹ But when the grain is ripe, at once he puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come."

The Parable of the Mustard Seed

³⁰ And he said, "With what can we compare the kingdom of God, or what parable shall we use for it? ³¹ It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when sown on the ground, is the smallest of all the seeds on earth, ³² yet when it is sown it grows up and becomes larger than all the garden plants and puts out large branches, so that the birds of the air can make nests in its shade."

³³ With many such parables he spoke the word to them, as they were able to hear it. ³⁴ He did not speak to them without a parable, but privately to his own disciples he explained everything.

PASTOR AND ALAN HOFELDT WERE AT THE MISSOURI DISTRICT CONVENTION THIS PAST SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY…   WHAT IS THE MISSOURI DISTRICT OF THE LCMS AND WHAT WERE THE RESULTS OF THE CONVENTION?

The Missouri District is all of the 268 Lutheran Church Missouri Synod congregation located in Missouri.  We have our own system of governance and our own structure of ministry together.

Every three years a lay delegate and a pastor from each congregation meet in convention in Columbia to elect our president and officers for the next three years and to decide other important business.  Below are the results that pertain specifically to you as members of St. John's:

1. President Lee Hagan was re-elected to his second term. 
2. I (pastor) was elected as the "circuit visitor" for eight congregations (Christ, Augusta; Holy Cross, OFallon; Immanuel, Wentzville, St. Paul, New Melle; Trinity, Troy; Trinity, Wellsville, Grace, Wellsville; and St. Paul, Jonesburg).  (This basically means I will be helping out congregation when challenges arise or when they need a new pastor).
3. A restructuring was approved that is very similar to the restructuring we are doing at St. John's.  They eliminated four boards and created one new board of directors and a council on mission and ministry. 

Please say a prayer of thanks for all of those who serve at the district level and pray as they continue to assist congregations in making disciples.

2 Corinthians 5:1-17 English Standard Version (ESV)

Our Heavenly Dwelling

5 For we know that if the tent that is our earthly home is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. ² For in this tent we groan, longing to put on our heavenly dwelling, ³ if indeed by putting it on^[a] we may not be found naked. ⁴ For while we are still in this tent, we groan, being burdened—not that we would be unclothed, but that we would be further clothed, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life. ⁵ He who has prepared us for this very thing is God, who has given us the Spirit as a guarantee.

⁶ So we are always of good courage. We know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord, ⁷ for we walk by faith, not by sight. ⁸ Yes, we are of good courage, and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the Lord. ⁹ So whether we are at home or away, we make it our aim to please him. ¹⁰ For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive what is due for what he has done in the body, whether good or evil.

¹¹ Therefore, knowing the fear of the Lord, we persuade others. But what we are is known to God, and I hope it is known also to your conscience. ¹² We are not commending ourselves to you again but giving you cause to boast about us, so that you may be able to answer those who boast about outward appearance and not about what is in the heart. ¹³ For if we are beside ourselves, it is for God; if we are in our right mind, it is for you. ¹⁴ For the love of Christ controls us, because we have concluded this: that one has died for all, therefore all have died; ¹⁵ and he died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised.

¹⁶ From now on, therefore, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we once regarded Christ according to the flesh, we regard him thus no longer. ¹⁷ Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation.^[b] The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.
