Secure and Abundant Sheep
A shepherd is a savior. He saves sheep that are lost. A critical part of a shepherd’s task is rescue work. Sheep have a propensity for getting lost. And a lost sheep does not get home. Sheep also need protection. They are defenseless animals who can not fight back when attacked, and they need a shepherd to rescue them when they are in trouble and guide them to safety when danger is near. At night, while the sheep are resting…
Who is Behind the Door?
What’s the best gift you’ve ever gotten? Clothes? Video Games? Maybe a vacation? The best gift a Christian can get is summed up in one passage…John 3:16. But in order for us to receive that Gift, we have to have faith!
Christ’s Dazzling Glory
Transfiguration Sunday is the one week bridge between Epiphany and the Lenten season. Before we begin to prepare our hearts for Ash Wednesday in just a few days, let’s take a glimpse into the glory of what Jesus set aside in heaven to come down to earth and do what He needed to do…save sinners like you and me.

Whose Savior?
This Tuesday is January 6th, the day known to many as Epiphany. But what is the significance of Epiphany? The wise men, or three kings, followed a star to a place with a special baby. They gave him very expensive gifts and worshipped him. We know that special baby to be Jesus. But what is the importance of these three wise men finding our Savior?

Poor, but Blessed
We, as Christians, struggle with trials, temptations, and sin on a daily basis. But Jesus tells us blessed are the poor, the hungry, the weeping, the excluded, for they shall be exalted. There is a far better place waiting for us, the place Jesus left here to prepare for us. A place where there is no more sin, struggles, or pain. A place we long to be in someday. A place where some of our loved ones have already gone.…
How do I talk to God?
How would you rate your prayer life? Do you shy away from praying because you don’t really know what to ask God? Or do you simply think “God already knows what I want; He sees inside my heart!” Jesus says, “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.” God invites us to knock on his door and talk to him through prayer. Prayer is like knocking…
Our Mission in Christ
Everyone has doubts about the future. What will tomorrow bring? What is happening with my job? How will I get through the pain I am in? What does God have in store for St. Paul’s? We are not perfect; we are sinful. We don’t know these answers. But there is One who does. And He knew these answers before we even knew the questions! This week, let’s hear how God assures us that the One He appointed to save us…
