Wait for Your God

Don’t you hate waiting for things? Waiting on the phone when you’re on hold with horrible elevator music…waiting in line at the grocery store while your ice cream is melting…waiting patiently for someone to get out of the bathroom… Waiting is not an easy task. But waiting for the right things can be worth it! God has prepared an extraordinary spiritual meal for all of us…but we just have to wait for it. The time will come when all believers can partake…

Trust in the Only Rock

This world is surrounded by evil. Turn on the news and you’ll see it; look on the internet and you’ll see it; scroll through social media and you’ll see it there too. We can not escape from it. So how do we, as Christians, survive as wheat among weeds? We Trust in the Only Rock!

Belonging

God created human beings with a longing to belong.  He said of Adam, “It’s not good for the man to be alone.”  We all want to belong, a family, a team, a group of friends, even a gang. If a human connection is important for us, then a spiritual connection is even more vital.  God has also taken care of that.  In Jesus, his Son, the Father connects us as his children. Join us as we find comfort, purpose and…

Prince of Peace/Sunday School Christmas

Light candle number four on the Advent Wreath! Check! This completes the 4-week season of preparations for Christmas. Our Sunday School will assist us on Sunday in our celebration. There’s no denying listening to children, some as young as 3-years-old, recite their parts or sing their songs is heart-warming. More importantly, like the shepherds, they’re sharing the greatest news ever: “Jesus is born in Bethlehem!”

Advent 3: Everlasting Father

“Everlasting Father” is this week’s set of names from Isaiah 9. Because that refers to the “Child born and the Son given,” it has caused plenty of confusion for plenty of people. Have you wondered how could Jesus, the Son, also be called the Father? That’s a great question. To find out how that’s possible, join us. We’ll use God’s Word to clear things up so your celebration of Christmas can be confusion-free.

Advent 2: Mighty God

At St. Paul’s, on the four Sundays before Christmas (Advent), we will investigate one of the four names of Jesus found in the beautiful prophecy of Isaiah: “And he will be called Wonderful Counselor (week 1), Mighty God (week 2), Everlasting Father (week 3), Prince of Peace (week 4).” How can the “child” in a manger also be the “Mighty God”? This is one of the most important teachings in Scripture. Join us and review this teaching and renew your…

Mother’s Day 2024

Have you noticed that it seems more and more people of all ages are getting tattoos? Some of them are more subtle and hidden, while others are big, bold and visible. This Mother’s Day weekend we are going to talk about tattoos. What’s the connection between Mother’s Day and tattoos?

Confirmation 2024

This weekend is Confirmation at St. Paul’s.  Over the past two years, nine young Christians have been strengthened (confirmed) in their Christian faith and life through studies in God’s Word.  On Sunday, they will publicly profess their loyalty to their Savior Jesus.  And, because of their desire to take the Lord’s Supper and the common confession of faith they have expressed with this congregation, they will be invited to receive the Lord’s Supper. Do you remember your own Confirmation?  Was…
