The Good Shepherd Loves You Lots
The Good Shepherd is one of the most familiar pictures of the Lord in all of Scripture. The way he cares for his lambs and sheep (believers), and the flocks (Christian congregations) they are part of is so comforting and so reassuring. No wonder it is a favorite of the sheep, and the early shepherds (pastors) God has called to serve each flock of the Good Shepherd. This will be the final time St. Paul’s pastor preaches to the flock…
Daniel in the Lions’ Den
One of the members of the congregation asked their pastor, who is a huge Detroit Lions’ fan, “Have you ever been in the Lions’ locker room at Ford Field?” He thought for a moment and answered, “No. I’ve been to Ford Field, but never in a locker room.” “If you had,” she replied, “wouldn’t that be Daniel in the Lions’ den?” Take a guess at the pastor’s first name? Daniel in the Lion’s Den is the focus of Sunday’s worship…
What is heaven like?
Two of the most often asked questions among Christians are, “What will heaven be like?” and “What’s going to happen on Judgment Day?” This Sunday, through two visions, one from the Old Testament (Daniel 7) and one from the New Testament, God pictures it for us in a way we can better understand. J
God is in Control
Some complain, “Everything in my life is out of control!” Other’s brag, “I’ve got everything under control!” Everyone is trying to control something in their lives. What if you let someone else be in control so you didn’t have to worry about anything? Would that be something you’d be in favor of? Truth is, God is in control. And because he always operates with a heart of grace for his children, Christians can relax. The “Three Men in the Fiery…
Love Your Neighbor – Even When Not Convenient
The Master Teacher’s favorite teaching method was the parable. “An earthly story with a heavenly meaning,” is how many have described Jesus’ parables. Each parable had a specific point he wanted to highlight. Our parable on Sunday at St. Paul’s is the Good Samaritan. What’s the specific point Jesus wants to make? Join us and learn the “heavenly meaning” behind the earthly story of this familiar parable. And even if you know it, it’s always good to review. And who…
State of the Union
Citizenship is a hot-button political topic in our country. But our citizenship in God’s kingdom is much more important than any earthly residence. As Christians, we hold citizenship papers for heaven (our baptismal certificate). Our service of Scripture, prayers and song this Fourth of July weekend will focus on being a Christian in these United States. Join us. It is a wonderful way to thank God for the freedoms we enjoy.
Look at the Face of Jesus
When we say someone is “laser-focused,” that means they have a purpose, and they aren’t going to let anyone stand in the way of them achieving their goal. Our lesson this Sunday describes Jesus as being “laser-focused.” Join us for worship at 9:30 am. We’ll review why our eternal destination rests on the fact of our Savior letting anything stand in the way of his goal. We have a beautiful Savior!
Trinity Sunday
What is one of the most difficult to understand teachings of the Bible, that also happens to be one of the most comforting? The teaching that we trust and serve a Triune God. Join us at St. Paul’s on Sunday at 9:30 am as we review that the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are three persons in one God. And then rediscover the comfort and reassurance this teaching provides for you every day of your life.
