"It is not right to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs."

That's what Jesus says to her. And she doesn't argue. She doesn't correct him. She kneels there and says: even the crumbs are enough.

This week we followed Jesus across a real border — from Capernaum to Tyre and Sidon, from Israel into what is now Lebanon — and met a woman with no claim on him by blood, by custom, or by religion. What she understood in that moment is something we're all tempted to soften: that none of us come to God's table because we've earned a seat. We come as she came — empty-handed, asking for mercy, and finding it's already more than enough.

"We have only five loaves here, and two fish."

That word "only" carries the whole weight of the story. Sunday we looked at the feeding of the 5,000 in Matthew 14 — a passage so familiar it's easy to let it become just another Sunday school memory. But set beside Herod's birthday banquet, and read alongside Jesus grieving John the Baptist's death, it becomes something different: a picture of how God's abundance is born out of scarcity, not the absence of it.

"Treasure Worth Giving Away" — Matthew 13:44-52

We closed our Matthew 13 series with three parables: a man who stumbles onto buried treasure, a merchant who spends his life searching for one perfect pearl, and a net that pulls in good and bad fish alike.

The first two are easy to love — both men give up everything, joyfully, because what they found was worth more. But Jesus also tells us a sorting is coming, and it isn't ours to do.

He ends with a picture of a storeroom holding treasure both old and new — Law and Gospel. That's who we're called to be: storehouses, ready to give it away to whoever needs it next.

Join us next time!

This past Sunday we stayed in the parables of Matthew 13 — this time the wheat and the weeds.

A field gets sown with good seed, and an enemy sneaks in and sows weeds among it. The obvious move is to pull the weeds right away. God says no. Not yet. Not because he doesn't care about evil — but because pulling too soon would damage the wheat right along with it.

We looked at what that delay actually protects, and what it cost to wait for people like Saul of Tarsus, Johnny Cash, and John Newton to become who God meant them to be.

This week's sermon looks at Matthew 13:1-9, 18-23 — the Parable of the Sower — and asks a question every one of us can actually answer: not "what kind of soil am I," but "what season am I in right now?"

It's been a few weeks since our last sermon post — between summer schedules, TRIO work travel, and a bout of being under the weather, a couple of Sundays slipped through without one. Thanks for your patience!
This week's message, "The Weight We Refuse to Share," comes from Matthew 11:25-30 — Jesus' invitation to the weary and burdened to take up his yoke. Pastor Andy shares some deeply personal testimony in this one about learning to let others carry the load with him. Watch the full sermon below.

This past Sunday we returned to Matthew — and Jesus had something pointed to say to anyone who thinks they've got it together.

This was one of our fellow NALC churches located in St. Francis, Kansas...the very northwest corner of the state. Their church was struck by lightning and destroyed on Monday. Let's keep this congregation in our prayers.

Salem Lutheran Church had celebrated the building's 100th anniversary in 2026. Now, it is considered a total loss.

This past Sunday we celebrated Trinity Sunday and opened Matthew 28:16–20 — the Great Commission.

Jesus doesn't give the commission because the disciples have it all figured out. He gives it while some of them are still doubting. The commission doesn't wait for perfect faith.

And it doesn't rest on our effort either. It rests on his authority. All authority. In heaven and on earth. Therefore — go.

Picture Jerusalem at full volume.

Priests processing through the streets with a golden pitcher of water. Crowds waving branches, singing, flutes playing. Seven days of celebration building to a fever pitch — and then at the height of it all, Jesus stands up in the middle of the crowd and shouts.
That's where we were last Sunday for Pentecost. John 7:37-39 gives us a Pentecost that feels different than Acts 2's wind and fire. Quieter. Closer. More daily. Rivers of living water flowing out of the deepest place inside us — out to the people right around us.
