Matthew Lutheran, of Sonora, California seeks to implement its mission to reach out with a sense of urgency to bring people into a lasting, living relationship with Jesus Christ. Matthew is a member of the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod, which believes and teaches that in Christ alone is there salvation–by grace alone, through faith alone, on the basis of Scripture alone. Sharing this message with

the local community, the country and the world is imperative. Matthew forwards God's Word through the Bible and provides its members opportunities for worship, education, and fellowship. It is truly "Soaring to New Heights" with a new church and a growing membership that works together to spread the message of salvation.

Do you know someone who is a caregiver?

Sometimes we focus on the person needing care and forget how difficult life can be for the caregiver. Competing tasks, isolation, and lack of free time can become overwhelming. If you, or someone you know, is struggling as a caregiver, our Prayer Team of over 4,800 people will pray for them. Let us know who and what to pray for.

We don’t have to carry the pressure of always being right. Romans 12:3 reminds us to think of ourselves with humility, not placing our own perspective above everyone else. When we let go of the need to prove ourselves, we become better listeners, stronger friends, and people who are open to growth. Real enrichment happens when we learn to understand others and seek God’s wisdom instead of only defending our own opinions.

Jesus Christ meets us with grace in this struggle. His perfect righteousness becomes ours, freeing us from the exhausting need to always have the final answer. In Him, we’re secure enough to speak truth with love and humble enough to keep learning.

Wounds that go unseen can be the hardest to carry. Whether it's grief, loss, or heartbreak, the pain can feel like it will never fully heal. But God's care for you runs deep - He does not just acknowledge your hurt, He actively heals it.

He is the God who binds up every wound and restores what has been broken. You are not too far gone, and your hurt is not too great for His healing touch. Bring your wounds to Him today and trust that He is at work.

What wound do you need God to heal in your life right now?

Children don't just learn faith from what they're told - they absorb it from what they see. The way you handle stress, make decisions, and turn to God in daily life shapes what your child believes long before they can articulate it.

Children's Corner gives families practical tools to make faith a natural part of everyday routines. You don't need to have all the answers - you just need to show up consistently and point them toward God.

Join us this Sunday at St. Matthew Lutheran Church as we open Psalm 119:65-72 and reflect on the theme "God Dealing With Us." God is not distant. Through His Word, He reveals exactly how He wants to interact with us - with goodness, faithfulness, and purpose.

Come and be encouraged as we explore how God's Word shapes every part of how He moves in your life. We would love to see you there!

Sunday message by Pastor Tom Sharpe - God dealing with us

06/05/2026

Pride can quietly keep us from the very things God wants to give us. Proverbs 16 reminds us that pride comes before a fall because when we believe we have all the answers, we stop recognizing our need for God. But the Gospel is built on grace.

God offers forgiveness, hope, righteousness, and new life through Jesus Christ, not because we earn it, but because He loves us. When pride falls away, our hearts become open to His grace and transformation.
