The Christian life is one of thanks. Noah shows that when he walks off the ark and offers a tremendous sacrifice to the Lord - showing total devotion to the Lord. The Corinthians were given a tremendous example of the Macedonian congregations who offered themselves first to the Lord and then to God's people when they gave so generously their thank offerings. Lastly we see the Samaritan who returned to give thanks to the Lord for healing from his leprosy. While these were one time events, thankfulness lived in their hearts to God from that day forward - and showed in their lives. May the God of grace shape your heart to be one of thanks - even constant thanks for who he is and his mighty arm to save! Pastor Mueller

Greetings St. Paul's family, What if the Rich man received his request? What if Lazarus was sent back by God from heaven to earth to witness to people. What would he say? Today he speaks the words of Amos 6:1-7 to us. They are a firm warning not to let money rob us of eternal life. But Lazarus didn't come back to earth. So how are people to know? We know the same message through the word of God. God speaks to us so that we see the riches of salvation we have in Jesus Christ. He speaks so that we see what is coming to those who trust him: heaven! God bless us to measure the things of this life appropriately. Pastor Mueller

For 160 years at St. Paul’s, the Lord has called and guided, rebuked and comforted through his life-giving Word. And in each generation, he has given us faithful leaders who point to him. Today, we consider his instruction to “Remember Your Leaders.”

Good afternoon St. Paul's family and friends, God's word works. It exposes sin and sinners. Where sinners side with sin the church of God is called to respond to warn the sinner and even excommunicate. Such a witness is done in love as the final and lasting witness. And it works! Some take it to heart and turn back. When sinners who _had_ben stuck in sin turn away from it and repent, then what is the church to do? Our readings today delve into that response...we fully forgive them and fully restore them - as Christ has done for us. God bless your worship this weekend! Pastor Mueller

Good afternoon St. Paul's family, How do you see yourself? Would you really take one of the better seats at a meeting? Are you happy with your placement at a wedding reception? Would you take the least? How would you respond if a seat was reserved for you and someone shifted your name away to a lower seat? The inner pull to think higher of ourselves doesn't come from God. What comes from God is humility. And that's how God's people in his house strive to live. Anything less is less than the Christian religion! May the Lord lead us to be his humble people who are raised up by the the gospel! Pastor Mueller

Greetings St. Paul's Family, An open door to something means tremendous possibilities, or a bright future. When Paul received an open door to missionary work, it also meant blessing from God. So what else can an open door in Jesus Christ mean? What a bright future ahead! What blessings from God are coming in Jesus Christ. But here's the difficulty. That open door is narrow. Consider carefully how you are getting through! God bless you and your spiritual walk with Christ this weekend, Pastor Mueller

Greetings St. Paul's friends and family, Today Jesus promises there will be division between people on earth. Even more, he promises he will be the cause of it. His teachings will reveal where people stand in their beliefs, and whether they are with him or not. The practice of Christianity is not easy. It involves endurance, patience, and loss. Even more it involves our heavenly Father who disciplines us along the way. This is what our second lesson calls, "The race marked out for us!" Many stop running the race. They walk away, give up, or are enticed by worldly empty promises. But the faithful Christian is encouraged by a great cloud of witnesses and keeps their eyes on Jesus Christ. The finish line we will cross in faith will usher in an eternal crown. May we all cling to the Savior Jesus and run the race! God's blessings, Pastor Mueller

Greetings St. Paul's Family and Friends, Doing a workout today a spider walked right across the floor where I was working out! It's amazing that as Christians who hear the word of God and strive to exercise it in life, sin has its way of working through us. Our first lesson from Ecclesiastes spares no expense in teaching us what we will pay if the stuff of life sneaks in and competes with God! Would you recognize it if it did? Colossians lifts our eyes to the strength of Jesus Christ in the resurrection. He raised you too! Why would we let anything else be placed on his level? Finally in the gospel Jesus knows some pursue wealth as if that's the goal in life. How foolish they are! Don't let your eyes blind you to their eternal outcome!

Greetings St. Pau's Family and Friends - What happens when God comes to us? What happens when I stand before God? What exactly does his word do for me and within me? How about this question...what does my reason want to do with what God says to me? In the lessons before us this weekend, the word is set before us. Are we ready to listen? Are we going to listen? Search the Scriptures and you will find that God's word has never and will never fail. What God desires by giving us his word is to give us and foster in us a faith that clings to it.

Does love really mean anything goes as many think? Does it mean what’s good for me is what I define it to be? Is love really something subjective, meaning it changes depending on the person? Today Jesus teaches Christian love is a standard God sets and he seeks us to meet in our actions. It asks, “What does my neighbor need,” and is then willing to sacrifice time, money, even our own wants in order to help another human being.

Dear St. Paul's Family and Friends - There aren't any photos in today's lessons of the ideal pastor. There aren't any specifics on what kind of man stands before us with regard to size, height, weight, or physical strength the way there are requirements to ride a roller coaster. But our readings present to us the ideal shepherd who is qualified to represent Jesus. Listen carefully! Where these qualifications line up with Christ's standards, what a blessing that will be for the people of God! How happy they will be in the Lord! How strong they will be in his word.

Greetings St. Paul's Family and Friends, Last Sunday we were encouraged to have an eternal perspective, recognizing our time on earth according to Jesus is only 'a little while.' Life on earth really does go fast. This weekend we apply that eternal perspective with _what to do with our lives on earth._ Jesus prays for the furtherance of the gospel. John is the messenger who brings the gospel to people. In our Acts lesson, Paul struggles with where God is leading him to preach until the Spirit makes it clear and calls him to Macedonia.

Greetings St. Paul's family, This weekend Jesus lifts our perspective from this world to the next. He wants us to see the incredible home of heaven God has prepared. With such a home and Savior there, Jesus fills our hearts that our time until then is just _a little while. _ Let us keep the perspective that our time on earth is short and to keep the Christian faith. May the Lord bless your worship this weekend! God's blessings, pastor

Good morning St. Paul's Family and Friends - This weekend we celebrate Good Shepherd Sunday. It's a humbling day to take to heart the incredible leadership Jesus carries out on behalf of his sheep. And to think at the same time there are those that wander for something else or what they perceive to be something better! This weekend we consider his caring work and his power to protect those who are his.

Greetings St. Paul's family - This weekend is the celebration of Palm Sunday. What is Palm Sunday? It 's the approach of Jesus as king indicating his willingness and determination to conquer the enemy of sin, Satan, and death. It's also the grand reception offered him by the people as they declared Hosannah - a term that means, "save now"...

Greetings everyone! One great joy we have in gathering together for worship is simply this: faith spreads. By the power of the gospel of Jesus Christ, God strengthens his people in faith and moves our mouths to glorify him in the world. Our sermon text clearly says these things from Romans 10:12-17.

Greetings St. Paul's Family and Friends As we continue through the Epiphany season of the church year (Epiphany means revealing; God revealed Jesus as the world's Savior), today we see how incredible the means of grace are for our salvation. Through them God brings us his strength. We study this through the second lesson from Ephesians 3.

Greetings everyone, Through the first few weeks of Advent or focus has been on aspects of humility. As the Christ child is about to come into the world, our lesson this weekend has us look at his humble attitude. It is so encouraging to see Jesus understand both his role and his body. Then you see an incredible attitude that wants to put it to work...and for us! The sermon text is Hebrews 10:5-10.

Greetings everyone, and thanks for joining us this weekend! Today we wrap up our series on Christian financial stewardship. The focus is on the legacy of the giver. Think about that...you and I have a chance to shape the future on earth long after we are with the Lord in eternity. How would we go about doing that?

Greetings all - For the next four weeks we go back to the basics of Christian financial stewardship. This Sunday starts where all Christian life flows - from the heart of God who gives us grace. It's his heart, shown in Jesus Christ and revealed in the gospel that changes ours. May we treasure our Lord and show our heart for the Lord in our giving.
