“HOSEA – Introduction

June 4, 2023 /

I desire faithful love and not sacrifice, the knowledge of God instead of entirely burned offerings.

Hosea 6:6 (ceb)

Hosea is the first of “The Book of the Twelve” or the “Minor Prophets” (though not chronologically first).

It shares a shocking command from God for the prophet in regard to his family in the first three chapters and then a series of collected “sermons,” warning Israel of God’s coming punishment and their exile; pleading with them to repent.

Yet they won’t and what is prophesied will come to pass.

Yet, even then, God’s love and grace will prevail and restoration will take place.

Through it all, God is good and faithful, even if His people aren’t.

SCRIPTURES

  • Hosea 1:1
  • 1 John 1:8-10

“HOSEA – A Call to Faithfulness” Sermon Series

May 18, 2023 /

I desire faithful love and not sacrifice, the knowledge of God instead of entirely burned offerings.

Hosea 6:6 (ceb)

Hosea is one of those Bible books that often gets overlooked. There are some difficulties in it and, like most prophets, some of the things he has to say, well, don’t sound nice!

It’s as if what God has to say isn’t what we want to hear!

But it is something we need to hear – and then obey!

Hosea speaks to a people who have been grossly unfaithful to God, “whoring” after other gods and nations; being appallingly unfaithful in every way to the God to loves them.

He also warns Israel of the coming disaster – being conquered and deported to Assyria.

Yet, the story does not end in Assyria, but with the assurance of a coming Messiah, through Whom God’s loving covenant will be renewed – forever!

Our faithlessness as a people and as the Christian Church has plenty to heed from what God says through Hosea. Although we do not fear deportation again, we are called to be faithful in our love and commitment to God and His good, righteous Word and Law!

May we be so faithful!

Thank You, Lord God, for Your faithful and never-ending love for us!

Join us, starting June 4, 2023!

Love So Humble in Obedience

April 2, 2023 /

Jesus riding into Jerusalem “triumphantly” on Palm Sunday must have been strange.

Yes, He was entering as King, but He was also entering knowing that before the week’s end, He would be abandoned, denied, suffer ruthlessly, and die horribly.

Of course, He would also share a Last Meal with His disciples, conquer sin, death, and the devil, but the bad coming would still have be endured; and that wasn’t something to look forward to.

Yet He did it.

Willingly. Humbly. Obediently. Lovingly.

His love for us was showing through His obedience to the Father’s will.

That’s just amazing!

“Enter, Lord Jesus, into our hearts and help us love so obediently as You did!”

Scriptures

  • John 12:12-19
  • Philippians 2:5-11

O LOVE, How Deep, How Broad, How High

February 9, 2023 /

Our sermon series for the Lenten season is, “O LOVE, How Deep, How Broad, How High.” It is based upon a series by the same name ©2021, by The Rev. Dr. Thomas Egger, president of Concordia Seminary, St. Louis (used with permission).

In this series we will explore the vastness of God’s love for His people, the lengths that He went through to assure our presence with Him eternally, and how that love affects us and our living.

I hope you’ll join us!

“Those Whom God Calls” Sermon Series

January 26, 2023 /

Coming off the high of the 10th Anniversary celebration (what an awesome day!), it’s easy to ask, “what now”?

But Pastor Popovits gave us some truths that deserve further exploration.

He mentioned that those God Calls and sends, He

  • humbles,
  • sanctifies,
  • instructs, and
  • joins.

Those will be our themes for the next four weeks as we close out the season of Epiphany!

Join us as we explore together, “Those Whom God Calls!”

January 29 through February 19, 2023.

BAPTISM: Renewal and Rebirth!

December 8, 2022 /

Ever wondered about baptism?

Why did God give it? What are the benefits? How should it be done? Why does it matter? When should you be baptized? Who should be baptized?

So many questions – especially for such an important Gift and topic!

On Sunday, January 8, and 15, 2023, we will have a sermon mini-series to answer these questions and more!

An at the end of the sermon on January 15, the Sacrament of Baptism will be available for those the Lord is Calling to be baptized! (It would be helpful to read more about baptism first and fill out an application here.)

Join us for this special series and event!

Mary’s Advent / Our Advent

November 3, 2022 /

We will begin a new sermon series for Advent and the Sundays after Christmas: “Mary’s Advent / Our Advent”.

In this series for Advent and Christmas we will look at “Mary’s Advent” for the time leading up to, including, and just following Jesus’ birth, as well as our own Advent in the process.

I hope you’ll join us!
