The apostle Paul writes that it is for freedom that Christ sets us free.  He goes on to tell us that when we live life with God by the Spirit’s leading, we stay free and bear fruit that blesses our family, friends, and neighbors.  Life with God is a blessing of freedom and freeing others through the Spirit’s work in and through us.

We all live under the authority of something or someone, whether it be an external authority or interior desires, or possibly a combination of both. The question is, does this authority lead to more life or less? Subscribe to stay updated with the latest content. Follow St Luke Lutheran Church: YouTube Instagram Facebook Website

We have a whole Sunday devoted to this essential, but kind of confusing, tenant of our faith. What difference does it make when we say God is Father, Son, and Holy Spirit? Trusting that the Spirit continues to guide us into truth, we look at what God’s three-ness tells us about our mysterious, fluid, diverse, communal, hospitable, and loving God.   Subscribe to stay updated with the latest content.

When we feel like we’re alone, facing all of life’s challenges, remember that God, the Holy Spirit is already with you, already at work in you, and is for you, not only the share Jesus with the world, but to give you his peace.

Eventually, after all the preparation, the people of Egypt moved through the river and entered the promised land.  They did so slowly and with intention, following the ark.  Likewise, we move into the future keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus, the leader of the church.   Subscribe to stay updated with the latest content.

As we peek into the future, we recognize that there are inevitable storms ahead.  In Joshua’s time, Israel sent spies into the promised land and discovered inevitable opposition.  How did they respond?   Courage.  Faith.  Trust.  Partnership   Subscribe to stay updated with the latest content.

The phrase used at Westerville North HS is AllN.  Similarly we are All In   From coaching, I know that it takes every single player to create a win.     We move forward together, united as one, into the future God has prepared for us.  We need all of us, not some of us to make this transition well.     The disciples eventually replaced Judas.  Jesus prayed for our unity.  Together we move ahead.   Subscribe to stay updated with the latest content.

The people of Israel were at a transition point in their history.  They had arrived at a new chapter in their history, a place no one had been.  Across the river was the land God had promised.  Moses died and Joshua was chosen to lead the people through the river into a new beginning.   Transitions mean change and change brings stress with it.  Things will not be as they were.  There is an inherent risk in change, in transitions, but there is also beauty as we anticipate what will be.   A new chapter in St. Luke’s history is upon us.  We get to be part of the ongoing story of God for this congregation.  It will be challenging.  Storms await.  We will be ok.  God is doing a new thing.  Do we perceive it?

Our greatest reality and hope is that, by grace alone, we have been made beloved children of God and inheritors of God’s eternal kingdom. GRACE is the final word I leave with this church family. Grace was the first word that I preached on September 10, 2000, and the final word I left with the family of St. Paul’s Lutheran in Maumee, Ohio on August 20, 2000.   Article IV of the Augsburg Confession on Justification teaches that we cannot be justified before God by our own strength, merits or works, but are freely justified for Christ’s sake through faith, when we believe that we are received into favor and that our sins are forgiven for Christ’s sake, who by His death has made satisfaction for our sins. This faith God accounts as righteousness in His sight. Martin Luther said that this is the article of faith upon which the Church stands or falls. Indeed, the reality of God’s grace in Christ is the hope upon which we stand or fall.   Relentlessly trust that your primary reality and hope is in the grace of God p
