Good morning St. Paul's Family,
Grace from God is a most incredible thing! It moves the heart and overwhelms the mind. It truly is a miraculous gift and always undeserved.
But we make it a tricky thing. We can turn God's grace into a _gift for me but not for thee!_ Jesus teaches us otherwise. It's God's to give, not man's to manipulate.
And when the gift remains a gift from God, _grace remains grace - the way it's supposed to be!_
God bless you this weekend -
Pastor Mueller

An angry rant. A broken promise. A plea ignored. When someone has wronged us, it can feel impossible to let go of it. How could anyone hurt us so much? And not just once, but repeatedly? Today, Jesus directs his disciples to a higher forgiveness, to a merciful Master, to the one who has cancelled our debts and cleansed our hearts so that we may also “Forgive from the Heart”. Our sermon today comes from Ephesians 4-5.

One of my neighbors has a flashy brand new vehicle. When I see him drive off I wonder what it would be like to have the keys to such a vehicle (especially on a weekend like this!). There'd be power under the hood transferred to the tires with the slightest touch, wind in your hair, and beautiful scenery all around.
The lessons for this Sunday reveal the keys God has given to you. For a brother or sister who is spiritually straying, the keys have power under the hood - power to convict and power to save.
What an incredible miracle to use them and see God work repentance and renewed faith through them. What a most beautiful scene that is, when God's people are back with the Lord!

Greetings St. Paul's Family, Jesus never promised being his disciple would be easy. He said the opposite. _The student is not above his teacher_. And if the world persecuted Jesus, what Christian today can rightly expect to have an easy life on this earth? Will you take up your cross and follow? Will you devour God's word and hold to it? Will you be a wall like Jeremiah and not let people sway you into wickedness? This world is groaning as in the pains of childbirth. It won't last. But those who stand with Jesus will, forever. Trust him and follow him, no matter the cost. God bless your holiday weekend! Pastor Mueller

Who exactly is Jesus? Some think he is just an old story. Others say he was a loving influence and a good person. Still others claim he was merely one prophet among many. But he is so much more. Just as the heavenly Father led Peter to confess Jesus as the Messiah, the Son of the living God, may he lead us to do the same. Today we learn of the most important name: “The Lord’s Name Saves.” Our sermon is from Romans 10.

If you are seeking justice for something, could you expect to find it? If you are looking for a church where 100% of the people practice what the Bible says, where would that be? If you are searching for a house where there is no such thing as an insider or an outsider, just members, where would you look?
The world twists these concepts and turns people cynical. God promises them to you. You will find these answers in him - always.
Come and worship him!

What a marvel it is to observe children grow! Learning their shapes and colors. Sounding out words and reading them. Walking to running. Catching and throwing a ball. Grasping more about God’s amazing creation. As we celebrate the Lord’s grace for us and dedicate our new early childhood wing this weekend, God impresses on us the importance of growth in our Savior and his Word. “Come and Grow!” Our sermon is based on Ephesians 4. Today our guest preacher is Pastor Rich Gurgel, President of our college of ministerial education, Martin Luther College in New Ulm, MN.

If you’ve ever been to a potluck, a brat fry, or a wedding reception, you know what it’s like to be filled to the brim with delicious food. Those things are a regular part of our Wisconsin summers. We usually have way more than we need and always so much more than we deserve. And we owe it all to our gracious God. Today we praise him, for "The Lord Feeds Generously". Our sermon today is from 1 Kings 17.

Many people save up as much money as possible for electronics or a car, a house or vacation. Most people appraise their reputation and their career and their retirement very highly. But how much of that would you be willing to give up? Today, the Lord teaches us what is most valuable of all. Treasure God’s Kingdom! Our sermon is from Matthew 13.

Greetings St. Paul's Family -
The three lessons this weekend tie so well together. They are a feast for the soul - and a timely one. Starting with Matthew, Jesus reveals God's plan regarding the wickedness in the world. He's going to wait to fully deal with it until the harvest (last day)! That means governments can't fix it and Christians need to be on the watch. That leads us to Isaiah. Living in and around sin day after day doesn't mean God isn't God. It means we need to trust him all the more in tough times. Our last lesson from Romans 1 brings to light the wickedness of the weeds. They try to cut God completely out of life. The day will come where God will cut them down. Patience, Christian!
God bless you this weekend as you plan to praise the Creator not merely for all that you see with your eyes. Praise him for all he has done for your soul by bringing us to Christ and the joy of our forgiveness.
