This Thursday, we begin a new summer book study, and we want you to join us!

This summer, we're diving into The God You Need to Know by Margaret Feinberg — a study that moves beyond doctrine and into something more personal: an encounter with the Holy Spirit as a living, present Person who desires to know you.

We'll explore His character, uncover gifts you may not even know you carry, and discover what it looks like to live in Holy Spirit awareness — positioned for the assignments God has placed on your life.

Thursdays at 11:30 a.m.
June 4, 11, 18, 25 | July 9 & 16
(No class July 2)
📍 Messiah Lutheran Church

All are welcome — whether you've followed Jesus for decades or you're still asking questions. Come any week. Come as you are.

Weekly devotion from Pastor Laurie.

A 12th-century icon called The Ladder of Divine Ascent shows monks climbing toward Christ in Paradise — with demons tugging at them along the way. It's a striking image of the spiritual battle we're all in.

As Paul writes in Ephesians 6:12, our struggle isn't against flesh and blood, but against the forces of darkness in this world. Satan aims darts of doubt, distraction, and deception at our hearts. And yet — Christ has won. His victory is irrevocable, and he has given us armor to stand firm.

Until he comes again, the battle is real. May we encourage one another on the journey, just as the monks in the icon cheer on their fellow sojourners making the ascent.

There is comfort in praying together, even from a distance.

Wherever you are this week, join us in this prayer:

Almighty Creator and ever-living God: we worship your glory, eternal Three-in-One, and we praise your power, majestic One-in-Three. Keep us steadfast in this faith, defend us in all adversity, and bring us at last into your presence, where you live in endless joy and love, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.

Amen.

Weekly devotion from Pastor Laurie.

This week I'm reflecting on a famous Manet painting — a young fifer playing with joy against a plain, uncluttered background. Nothing to distract. Just the music.

It brought to mind a haunting passage from Matthew 11, where Jesus describes his generation as children calling out, "We played the flute for you, and you did not dance." How often does God try to get our attention — and we miss it entirely?

I've had to ask myself: How many divine nudges have I dismissed as interruptions? How many times has God been speaking, and I simply wasn't listening?

May we learn to let the noise of this world fade into the background — so that when God calls, we're ready to answer.

Today we remember and give thanks for those who sacrificed everything in service to others.
