This week's sermon theme is 𝘒𝘦𝘦𝘱 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘍𝘢𝘪𝘵𝘩.

Believers in God and their ministers have always been persecuted. Religious leaders in Jerusalem tried to muzzle the truth, but they only succeeded in sending people to preach the Word throughout the land. The Roman Empire persecuted Christians with stakes and lions, but God’s Church exploded with growth. In Martin Luther’s day, both pope and emperor tried to limit the gospel movement that was spreading from Germany, but God led many people to speak his truth. God wants his people to keep the faith and preach the Word even in the face of opposition.

Readings to reflect on this week:
Jeremiah 20:7-13
2 Timothy 4:1-8
Matthew 10:5a,21-33

This week's sermon theme is 𝘑𝘦𝘴𝘶𝘴 𝘓𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘴 𝘜𝘴.

The Law was given through Moses. He was a marvelous leader of his people, but he could not take them to the Promised Land. The Law can never get God’s people to the promised land. Grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. Joshua, the successor of Moses, defeated the enemies of the people and led them into the Promised Land. Jesus defeats our enemies and shepherds us as his flock. The gracious Gospel of forgiveness of sins through faith in Jesus is the only way to the promised land of heaven. Jesus leads us all the way there.

Readings to reflect on this week:
Numbers 27:15-23
1 Corinthians 4:1-7
Matthew 9:35–10:8
