That Which Matters Most
May 30, 2026

[Jesus said] “Do not work for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give to you. For on Him God the Father has set His seal.” Then they said to Him, “What must we do, to be doing the works of God?” Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He has sent.” (John 6:27-29)

"Rivers of Living Water"
From Luthern Hour Ministries

May 21, 2026
On the last day of the feast, the great day, Jesus stood up and cried out, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. Whoever believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, ‘Out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.’” Now this He said about the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were to receive, for as yet the Spirit had not been given, because Jesus was not yet glorified. (John 7:37-39)

Dear Brothers and Sisters of Living Water Lutheran Church,

As a congregation, we have always relied on God’s faithful guidance to lead our steps through every season of transition. Today, we are writing to share an important update regarding our weekly worship and a new chapter for our church family.

Because our current meeting location is no longer available to us, it became necessary for our leadership to secure a new space where we can continue to gather in community. We are overjoyed to share that through the grace of God and a wonderful spirit of community partnership, we have entered into an agreement with the Community Church of Buckeye to utilize their Sanctuary.

Effective Sunday, May 31, 2026, Living Water Lutheran Church will begin worshiping at this new location. This beautiful sacred space opens up wonderful possibilities for our congregation to pray, praise, and grow together. Our weekly Sunday schedule has been arranged to allow ample time for worship, warm fellowship, and deep spiritual education:

New Sunday Worship Schedule
9:00 AM – Worship Service (in the Sanctuary)

Following Service – Fellowship Time (Community connection and refreshments)

Following Fellowship – Adult Bible Study (Deepening our understanding of the Word)
Our new physical location for Sunday gatherings is:

Living Water Lutheran
Church
c/o Community Church of Buckeye

810 E. Eason Ave., Buckeye, AZ 85326

We are deeply grateful to the leadership and members of the Community Church of Buckeye for opening their hearts and doors to us during this time. We ask that you join us in prayer for this transition—that it may be smooth, that it may strengthen our bonds as a body of believers, and that it may amplify our witness within the Buckeye community.

Please mark your calendars for May 31st at 9:00 AM as we celebrate our first service in this new space. We eagerly look forward to seeing each of you there as we step into this vibrant new season together.

Yours in Christ’s Service

Jesus says, “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.”

That’s from Matthew 7:21, near the end of the Sermon on the Mount—and it troubles a lot of people, understandably so.

So what does it mean to do the will of our heavenly Father?

That phrase appears in a few other places in Matthew’s Gospel, and those help us understand what Jesus means.

In Matthew 12:50, Jesus speaks of those who are truly his disciples—those who hear his word, believe in him, and trust him. He says, “Whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.”

To be a disciple of Jesus is to do the Father’s will.

Then in Matthew 21:28-32, Jesus tells the parable of two sons. One son says he will work in his father’s vineyard, but doesn’t. The other refuses at first, but then goes and works. Jesus says it was the second son—the one who actually did the work—who did the will of his father (v. 31).

And he connects that obedient son with tax collectors and prostitutes who repented and believed John’s message—the message that pointed to Jesus (v. 32).

So, to do the will of our heavenly Father is to repent, believe in Jesus, and follow him.

When we do that, Jesus will not say to us, “Depart from me.”

Instead, he will say, “Come, welcome to the kingdom of my Father. Well done, good and faithful servant.”

Today we thank God for mothers and for the many ways God cares for us through them. A mother’s love, sacrifice, patience, and prayers are precious gifts from the Lord. Many of us remember how our mothers cared for us when we were weak, guided us when we were lost, and remained beside us even in difficult times.

Our Lord Jesus Himself loved and honored His mother. Even while hanging on the cross and suffering for the sins of the world, He looked upon Mary with compassion and entrusted her to the care of the disciple John (John 19:26–27). In His suffering, Jesus still showed love and care for His mother. In this, we see the heart of our Savior and the goodness of honoring father and mother.

Today we also remember that motherhood is not always easy. Many mothers carry quiet burdens, worries, and sacrifices that others do not see. May the Lord strengthen and comfort them through His Word and promises.

Above all, we thank God for faithful mothers who point their children to Christ. The greatest gift a mother can give is the knowledge of Jesus, who forgives sins, comforts the brokenhearted, and gives everlasting life to all who trust in Him.

May God bless and strengthen all mothers today.

Happy Mother’s Day.

Pastor Charles Palacio
