Summer Sunday school teachers needed

We are in need of 2-3 Sunday school teachers to fill in from time to time throughout the Summer.  

 

We are going to just have one big class and will be dong some fun Science activities to show how science and the Bible can go together and we can see how God is the God of science as well. 

 

Karin Klaustermeier will be in charge of it, but she will need several people to take over when she is gone or needs a break.  It wouldn't be more than three or four Sundays.

 

Please let me know if you are willing!  THANKS

Some important new news this morning.  Please read all the way through!

 

DEVOTION:  John 14:1-14  English Standard Version (ESV)

I Am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life

14 "Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God;^[a] believe also in me. ² In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you?^[b] 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. ⁴ And you know the way to where I am going."^[c] 5 Thomas said to him, "Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?" ⁶ Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. ⁷ If you had known me, you would have known my Father also.^[d] From now on you do know him and have seen him."

⁸ Philip said to him, "Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us."⁹ Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you so long, and you still do not know me, Philip? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'? ¹⁰ Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own authority, but the Father who dwells in me does his works. ¹¹ Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me, or else believe on account of the works themselves.

¹² "Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father. ¹³ Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. ¹⁴ If you ask me^[e] anything in my name, I will do it.

 

Jesus is going against the popular way of doing things here.  He is not being all-inclusive.  He is not letting people believe whatever they want to believe about him.  Some might even say he is being closed minded.  What am I talking about, you ask?  I am talking about Jesus' restrictive and narrow words, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life.  No one comes to the Father except through me.

 

You aren't going to get to God, to heaven, to eternal life any other way.  You won't get there by being good enough, whatever that means.  You won't get there by your own knowledge.  You don't have enough.  You won't get there by staying away from all the bad stuff.  It's too late, you were born into that bad stuff.  You won't get there by living up to God's expectations, because you haven't. 

 

The only way you are going to get to the Father, to see Him and to live with Him forever, is through Jesus!  Through His perfect life, suffering, death, and resurrection you will get to the Father.  Through His unconditional love and His will you will get to see the Father face to face.  Jesus is it!

 

To those who reject this way, truth, and life this is offensive.  They can't imagine a God who wouldn't let them live, do, and believe the way they want to.  T us who are being saved, we understand that the Lord Jesus is trying to save us from ourselves.  He knows that every other way and every other belief only leads to death, and He doesn't want death for us.  He wants life. 

 

This gives us the ultimate comfort, because we know that our salvation and our way to the Father is not dependent upon us.  We can rest assured that our salvation is already accomplished.  We don't need to fear losing our salvation every time we fall into temptation.  We can rest comfortably in the rock of our salvation!

 

I urge you to trust in Christ's promise to you today that He is the way and the truth and the life and that one day you will make it home to your heavenly Father!

 

Let us pray: Lord, thank you for making the way for us back to you, for providing the only truth that we need, and forgiving us life here on earth and life eternal.  Amen.

DEVOTION: 1 Peter 2:2-10 English Standard Version (ESV)

² Like newborn infants, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up into salvation— ³ if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is good.

⁴ As you come to him, a living stone rejected by men but in the sight of God chosen and precious, ⁵ you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. ⁶ For it stands in Scripture:

"Behold, I am laying in Zion a stone,
    a cornerstone chosen and precious,
and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame."

⁷ So the honor is for you who believe, but for those who do not believe,

"The stone that the builders rejected
    has become the cornerstone,"^[a]

⁸ and

"A stone of stumbling,
    and a rock of offense."

They stumble because they disobey the word, as they were destined to do.

⁹ But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. ¹⁰ Once you were not a people, but now you are God's people; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.

 

You have either been around a baby before or you were a baby at one time.  Babies have a very limited number of things they can do. They sleep, eat, cry, and poop.  Sometimes they can laugh, and they always look cute, but those are the main things. 

So why does Peter tell us to be like babies and crave that pure spiritual milk?  Very simple, apart from Christ we can do nothing.  Apart from the pure spiritual milk of His Word and Sacraments we are lost.  Apart from receiving those most important of nutrients we will not grow up into the healthy Christian men and women he created us to be. 

Instead of trusting in yourself, trust in Christ alone.  As awesome and wonderful as you are, you will fail.  You will disappoint yourself and others.  Take it from someone who knows. 

Instead of looking for salvation, peace, meaning or grace in the shallow and worthless things the world has to offer, trust in Christ alone who is your life and salvation and you will be fulfilled, blessed and peace filled! 

So be a baby today!  Be the infant son or daughter of Jesus and start drinking that pure spiritual milk of His grace!  It is the most refreshing drink that you will ever get!

 

Let us pray: Lord, thank you for giving me that pure spiritual milk of your Word and Sacraments so that I may grow up in your grace and peace.  Amen.

Acts 6:1-9English Standard Version (ESV)

Seven Chosen to Serve

6 Now in these days when the disciples were increasing in number, a complaint by the Hellenists^[a] arose against the Hebrews because their widows were being neglected in the daily distribution. ² And the twelve summoned the full number of the disciples and said, "It is not right that we should give up preaching the word of God to serve tables.³ Therefore, brothers,^[b] pick out from among you seven men of good repute, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we will appoint to this duty. ⁴ But we will devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word." ⁵ And what they said pleased the whole gathering, and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolaus, a proselyte of Antioch. ⁶ These they set before the apostles, and they prayed and laid their hands on them.

⁷ And the word of God continued to increase, and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests became obedient to the faith.

Stephen Is Seized

⁸ And Stephen, full of grace and power, was doing great wonders and signs among the people. ⁹ Then some of those who belonged to the synagogue of the Freedmen (as it was called), and of the Cyrenians, and of the Alexandrians, and of those from Cilicia and Asia, rose up and disputed with Stephen.

Acts 7:2English Standard Version (ESV)

² And Stephen said:

"Brothers and fathers, hear me…..  ⁵¹ "You stiff-necked people, uncircumcised in heart and ears, you always resist the Holy Spirit. As your fathers did, so do you. ⁵² Which of the prophets did your fathers not persecute? And they killed those who announced beforehand the coming of the Righteous One, whom you have now betrayed and murdered, ⁵³ you who received the law as delivered by angels and did not keep it."

The Stoning of Stephen

⁵⁴ Now when they heard these things they were enraged, and they ground their teeth at him. ⁵⁵ But he, full of the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. ⁵⁶ And he said, "Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God." ⁵⁷ But they cried out with a loud voice and stopped their ears and rushed together^[a] at him.⁵⁸ Then they cast him out of the city and stoned him. And the witnesses laid down their garments at the feet of a young man named Saul. ⁵⁹ And as they were stoning Stephen, he called out, "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit." ⁶⁰ And falling to his knees he cried out with a loud voice, "Lord, do not hold this sin against them." And when he had said this, he fell asleep.

 

How important is it to be strong in your faith and to know what you believe?  How much knowledge of Jesus is enough?  When can you consider your faith "strong" enough? 

I imagine that Stephen didn't have any idea that he was going to be stoned to death for his faith before it happened.  He knew that there was opposition, but he didn't know it was going to mean the death of him. 

You never know what kind of opposition you are going to face, but you know for sure that there will be opposition.  There will be tons of opposition daily from the prince of darkness.  The devil himself is opposed to your faith and especially to the object of your faith, Jesus Christ.  He is in direct opposition to you.  He wants nothing good for you.  So you better be prepared for everything that the devil is gong to throw at you. 

So the question is how do you get prepared?  Very simple, through the means of grace, the Word and the Sacraments.  Make use of the gifts that God has given you, His Word, which reveals His will and His love for you, and His sacraments which give you His very body and blood, His forgiveness, of sins.

And where do you find these gifts?  In the fellowship and worship of the church.  We even say it in the Apostles' Creed. "I believe in the holy Christian church, the communion of saints." 

I want to encourage you to be about the business of strengthening your faith today and every day.  Remember to live in God's grace!  Remember the forgiveness of sins.  Remember God's gifts and use them!  REST in His forgiveness won for you so that the devil cannot get a foothold on your life! 

And when the time comes that your faith is challenged you'll be able to withstand and keep on fighting the good fight of faith. Then, at your last breath, you'll be able to say "Behold, I see heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!"

Prayer: Lord, help me to hold fast to Your Word and Sacraments that I may be able to withstand the devil's schemes and witness to Your glory.  Amen.
