Sun, Sep 24 at 10:30 AM - "It’s Not Fair” - Lutheran Weekend Worship
When Paul wrote to his co-worker Timothy that he was “bound with chains as a criminal” (2
Timothy 2:9), he knew well the situation he was in. The final chapter of Acts finds Paul as a captive
in Rome, accepting this imprisonment as a prelude to his death. He writes to Timothy “the time
of my departure has come” (2 Timothy 4:6). In the centuries since Paul gave his prison witness,
countless Christian men and women have been imprisoned for their Gospel witness. We are
encouraged to be faithful witnesses in our time by Paul, who writes to his young associate
Timothy: “Pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, steadfastness, gentleness. Fight the good
fight of the faith” (1 Timothy 6:11–12a). Paul’s words from prison are good instruction for every
situation!

Sun, Sep 17 at 10:30 AM - "Keeping Score” - Lutheran Weekend Worship
This weekend on the Church calendar (September 16), the bishop Cyprian of Carthage is
remembered. As a Church leader in the third century, a time of Roman persecution,
Cyprian had to deal with the problem of Christians who denied the faith under
persecution but later wanted to be restored to the fellowship of the Lord. Cyprian helped
craft a response to the situation that was based on forgiveness, allowing a lapsed Christian
to be reinstated after a time in which they lived out their restored faithful confession. His
own faithfulness unto death was fully demonstrated as he was executed by Roman
authorities for his Christian beliefs in AD 258. Speaking words of forgiveness and living
them out can come with a price—but is Christlike in every way!

Sun, Sep 10 at 10:30 AM - "Lessons in Humility” - Lutheran Weekend Worship
The word mentor can be both a noun describing a trusted counselor or a verb meaning to
guide someone in new learning. The word originally was the name of a person from
classical literature: Mentor was a friend of the Greek hero Odysseus who was entrusted
with the education of his son Telemachus. You may have had special mentors throughout
your life. We are reminded that Jesus our Lord is our best and most devoted mentor. A
well-loved hymn by German writer Sigismund von Birken begins with these words: “Let
us ever walk with Jesus, follow His example pure” (LSB 685:1). Jesus is our merciful mentor
who gently leads us day by day along the path that leads to eternal life. We follow gladly
in His footsteps!

Sun, Sep 3 at 10:30 AM - "A Tough Saying” - Lutheran Weekend Worship
When the Bible speaks of “enemies,” the language typically is not very pleasant. Positive thoughts
and joyful emotions are not the natural responses to these discussions. At first glance, Romans
12:20 is one such passage. Paul points out that when we show love and kindness toward those
who have done us wrong, we “heap burning coals” on their heads. Quite the mental picture! But
wait! Look more closely! This kind of “head coaled” is actually a good thing! Along with every rebel
who engages in warfare with God, we,too, deserve the heat of His wrath. Oursin merits His anger.
Yet in Christ Jesus, the “coal” that has touched our lips and atoned for our rebellion is nothing less
than the precious blood of Christ, by whose cross God converts His enemies to friends and gives
them new life in His presence. If God loves us like this in Jesus, when we take up our cross to
follow Him, we will love others, even our enemies. Why? It is because of the “head coaled” we
have—the one by which enemies are loved and evil is overcome because our God is so very good

Sun, Aug 27 at 10:30 PM - "Solid as a Rock” - Lutheran Weekend Worship
Throughout the Bible, we find God sculpting rocks, constructing with rocks, and
protecting others by means of rocks. Ever the master architect, the Lord uses rocks to
accomplish His purposes. More than that, the Lord Himself is our rock, the One in whom
we have lasting and eternal security. “Built on the Rock the Church shall stand,” we sing
(LSB 645:1). How do we stand? The prophet Isaiah tells us: “Look to the rock from which
you were hewn” (Isaiah 51:1). When we see our God as the rock from whom we come
and by whomourlives are built, we find that He alone is ourlasting foundation, our mighty
fortress, and the reason why we gather to worship today.
