Love So Humble in Obedience

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!”

O LOVE, How Deep, How Broad, How High

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

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!

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!

GALATIANS – A Helping Hand

I died to the Law through the Law, so that I could live for God. I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. And the life that I now live in my body, I live by faith, indeed, by the faithfulness of God’s Son, who loved me and gave himself for me.

Galatians 2:19–20 (CEB)

Fend for yourself or for others?

Well, it’s a bit of both.

We are called to bear our own load, but also are to “bear one another’s burdens.”

Really, it’s about living out the sacrificial life of love for others.

Paul puts it well: “as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially to those who are of the household of faith.”

Loving others means helping others, just as Jesus loves and helps us!
