There's a particular sound a sanctuary makes when it's full of four-year-olds. It's definitely not quiet... but it sure is wonderful.

Last week our preschoolers came to their very first chapel. There were songs with hand motions. There was some wiggling. There was at least one very enthusiastic amen.

Pastor Kahle got to meet the new ones and teach them the first thing we ever want a child to know: Jesus loves them. That's the whole lesson. It will still be the lesson when they're 95.

Some of them already know this building. Some walked through the doors for the first time a few weeks ago. All of them sat in the same pews where this congregation has worshiped for years, and heard that Jesus loves them, by name.

That's the reason we have a preschool. Not only to get them ready for kindergarten, though we do that too. To make sure they know whose they are.

Please keep our little ones and their teachers in your prayers as the year begins.

We all know what to do with evil. Push it away. Lock it away. Avoid it.

This Sunday we're going to sit with a teaching that cuts against every instinct we have. Doing good to the people who have shown us evil.

It is not what our hearts want. It is not what the world encourages. It is the way of a Christian, and we can only walk it because of what Jesus already did for us while we were still far off.

Join us for our upcoming sermon: Overcome Evil With Good. Services are at 8:30 and 11 a.m. Our 11 a.m. service is signed for the deaf and hard of hearing. We'll save you a seat. 920 South Alta Lane in Olathe.

Paul could have said it gently... but he doesn't.

In Ephesians 2, he lays out exactly where we stood before Christ: separated from him, strangers to the covenants, without hope, without God in the world. He keeps stacking it up until there's nowhere left for us to stand on our own.

And then two small words turn the whole thing around. But now.

"But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ."

It's worth slowing down there. Brought near, not came near. The distance was real, and we weren't the ones who crossed it. He was.

That's where we spent our time in Bible Study this week. Watch the replay: https://youtube.com/live/e8AS173-yK8?feature=share

"Who am I?" is a question most of us have asked ourselves.

This Sunday, Pastor Kahle asks a different one: who is Jesus?

We'll look at the relationship between Jesus and Abraham, and how a promise made thousands of years ago becomes a blessing for you today. If you belong to Christ, you are counted among Abraham's offspring, and that makes you a child of God.

Join us Sunday at 8:30 and 11:00. Whether you've been here for years or you're just wondering what this is all about, there's a seat for you. We'll see you soon.🙏

Diving deeper into a love that never fails.

We're blessed to share that five students are now going through Confirmation at Redeemer Lutheran Church: Jace, Emma, Nicole, Cora, and Elsie.

In the year ahead they'll spend their time in Luther's Small Catechism, the Ten Commandments, the Apostles' Creed, the Lord's Prayer, and the Sacraments, asking the question Luther asks after every one of them: what does this mean?

Here's what we love about Confirmation in the Lutheran tradition. It isn't a graduation, and it isn't the day these five earn a place in God's family. That was settled at the font, when God put his own name on them in Baptism. This year is simply going deeper into the love that already claimed them.

Please keep Jace, Emma, Nicole, Cora, and Elsie in your prayers.💛

Washed, Renewed, and Never Alone.

God has saved us. This is the heart of the Gospel.

"But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior." Titus 3:4–6 (ESV)

It is why the Son of God became flesh and dwelt among us (John 1:14). Our salvation is entirely His work. If we could save ourselves by our own righteousness, then Christ would be unnecessary. But as St. Paul reminds us, salvation is "not your own doing; it is the gift of God" (Ephesians 2:8).

This shows us just how merciful our God is. He sees His creation suffering under the burden of sin and rebellion. Yet like a loving father who continues to love a rebellious child, our heavenly Father does not abandon His children. Instead, "God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8). He loves us to death, the death of His Son on the cross.

God also gives us His Holy Spirit to sustain us in our daily battle against sin, the world, and the devil. As long as we remain in this fallen flesh and world, we need all the help we can get. And God provides it. St. Paul writes, "Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness" (Romans 8:26). Even when we do not know what to pray, the Spirit Himself intercedes for us according to the will of God (Romans 8:26–27).

This is why we need to remember our Baptism daily. In Baptism, God joined us to the death and resurrection of Christ (Romans 6:3–4), washed away our sins (Acts 22:16), and gave us the gift of His Holy Spirit (Acts 2:38). We have been given new life in Christ.

To be baptized into Christ is not simply to remember something God did for us long ago. It is to live each day in the gifts He gave us there. As Luther teaches in the Small Catechism, Baptism means that the Old Adam in us should be drowned and die daily, and that a new man should daily emerge and arise to live before God in righteousness and purity forever.

Therefore, we do not merely hear the Word of God and walk away unchanged. By His grace and through His Spirit, we treasure His Word and seek to walk according to it (John 14:23; Galatians 5:25). Even this new obedience is not something we accomplish apart from Him, "for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure" (Philippians 2:13).

May God daily remind you of the gifts He has given you in your Baptism, strengthen you by His Holy Spirit, and keep you steadfast in Christ and His Word. Amen.🕊️

"We love because he first loved us." — 1 John 4:19

There is something hopeful about driving toward a sunrise, the road ahead lit by a light you didn't create. It's a picture of the Christian life. God goes before us, and His grace leads the way.

When we are immersed in the Word of God, the Holy Spirit works through that Word to renew and transform us (Romans 12:2; 2 Corinthians 3:18). In Christ, we are a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17). The new man delights in God's will and desires to do what is pleasing in His sight.

And this work begins with God, not with us. Our Christian lives are not driven by fear or coercion, but by God's grace. He has shown us mercy, forgiving our sins for the sake of Christ and making us His own beloved children. Because He first served us, we now joyfully serve Him. As St. John writes, "We love because he first loved us."

This love becomes visible in the life of a Christian. We are called to love and serve our neighbors, even our enemies. After all, we ourselves were once enemies of God, separated from Him by sin (Romans 5:10). Yet God did not abandon us. Through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ, He reconciled us to Himself.

Now, as children of our heavenly Father, we are free to love and serve the people God places around us. Good works do not earn God's favor or salvation. They flow from the salvation Christ has already given us by grace. Forgiven people forgive. Loved people love. Those who have been served by Christ are set free to serve others.

May our Lord Jesus Christ comfort your heart through His Word and establish you "in every good work and word." And may your day be filled with words and deeds of love toward every neighbor God places in your path.

"Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace, comfort your hearts and establish them in every good work and word." — 2 Thessalonians 2:16–17

So step into this week with confidence: the God who loved you first is already going ahead of you to light the way.✨

"Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." — Matthew 11:28

Maybe you have had one of those weeks. The kind where you are holding it together for everyone else and quietly running on empty. If that's you, read that verse one more time.

Notice what Jesus does not say. He does not say fix yourself first. He does not say come back when your faith is stronger or your week is better. He just says come.

This Sunday, Pastor Kahle helps guide us through that message, and what it really means that the Lord of all has called you to Himself, by name. There is a rest here that the world cannot hand you, and it is meant for you.

So whatever you're currently carrying, bring it with you. Come and sit with us. We'll make sure the coffee is hot for you.☕✨

"Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you." (Ephesians 4:32)

It sounds simple. Each morning we pledge ourselves to the Lord, and part of that is loving our neighbor as ourselves (Matthew 22:39). Then we actually have to interact with them.

In a world of sinners, the one guarantee is that your neighbor will sin against you. Jesus knows this: "If your brother sins against you…" (Matthew 18:15). And when sin enters a relationship, we're prone to answer it with more sin. We grow angry and act in ungodly ways, and the sin only multiplies. As James reminds us, "the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God" (James 1:20).

This is exactly what was happening in Ephesus. Paul's church was bickering and divided when it should have been united in Christ as one body (Ephesians 4:4–6). That unity is kept as we "bear with one another in love, eager to maintain the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace" (Ephesians 4:2–3), and it happens through the forgiveness of sins.

Forgiveness is rarely easy. When Peter asked how many times he should forgive, Jesus answered "seventy-seven times" (Matthew 18:21–22), showing that forgiveness is never counted, only freely given. It's the same kindness God has shown us. In His mercy, He sent His Son to the cross to take away our sin: "not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins" (1 John 4:10). That is why we forgive. "As the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive." (Colossians 3:13)
