Here is your from pastor's sermon on Sunday. If you were on your death bed, what would you want to say as your dying words to your loved ones? Listen to this sermon on Paul's words that carry weight.

"These words carry weight for all of us as we look at the big picture. This life is not all there is. Christ Jesus is coming back to judge the living and the dead. As Christians this is a day we look forward to him hope, not fear—because the message that matters most has been delivered to us. We long for his appearing. On that day, when we cross the finish line, we will receive the crown of righteousness that Jesus earned for us. So when you are on your death bed, you know where you’re going because of Christ—and you can tell this message that matters most to those you love. Fight the good fight. Keep the faith. Long for his appearing."

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.

Here is your from pastor's sermon on Sunday. What is the importance of having a pastor?

"The comfort we see today is the truth that the Lord provides shepherds for his sheep. He provided for his Old Testament people, and he continues to do so today for his Church. Even in times when churches have been vacant for months and years, he provides shepherds for his sheep. Pastors who serve nearby are called to serve the vacancy. God raises up leaders in the congregation, elders to serve the people in the time of transition. The LORD is the ultimate shepherd for his sheep watching over them. Christ is the one working through all the leaders you have."

In this week's , we ask the question, "Is it wrong to relax?"

"Of course it’s not wrong to relax, right? What if the question was a bit different? Is it wrong to relax if you could have used that time to tell someone about Jesus? That question might seem unfair. You do love Jesus and want other people to learn about Jesus, but does that mean you can never relax?..."

Here is your from pastor's sermon on the 2nd Sunday after Pentecost. Can you admit that you are the worst of all sinners?

"Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—that includes Paul—no matter how bad his sin was. Jesus was the perfect substitute for Paul. Jesus endured the charge of blasphemy for blasphemers. He was persecuted for the persecutors. He was murdered for the murderers. And Jesus is our perfect substitute. Though Jesus had every right to play the comparison game—because he would have won—he chose to “be numbered with the transgressors” (Is 53:12). Jesus, who had no sin, became the chief of sinners so that you could be the chief of righteousness. He, who had no guilt, bore your guilt—past, present, and future. Chief of sinners though I be, Jesus shed his blood for me."

They never forgot their past. Moses never forgot how he killed a man in a fit of anger. Paul never forgot how he had savaged the Church of God. Matthew never forgot how, as a tax collector for the Roman Empire, he was considered a traitor to his people. But God forgot their past. He forgave all their sins and called them to proclaim his mercy. Christians are sinners whom God has mercifully called. Only mercy can explain why Jesus brings people to faith and promises them salvation. Only grace can explain how he calls them to serve as they are able, even in the ministry of the gospel. God loves sinners.

In this week's , three WELS members share how they incorporate personal time with their Savior into their daily lives. How is your devotional life?

"Reflecting on 16 years of fatherhood, one of my most cherished activities has been family devotions with my wife and four children. Nothing this world can offer is as fulfilling as sitting together to hear again and again about Jesus’ grace and forgiveness. Over the years, we have used a variety of resources, but two stand out..."
