Greeting St. Paul's Family! I was just there...and saw the general area where the sermon on the mount was delivered. But as much as the location is neat to consider, the message is timeless to consider. And this Sunday we refresh on the incredible teacher God sent us in his Son, and the powerful word he blesses us with. How blessed we are! Come and grow! God's blessings, Pastor Mueller

Greetings St. Paul's Family! I greet you that way because that is what we are in Christ...and today our Savior makes that clear. Gentiles are not outsiders, second class citizens, or worse, rejected from the gospel. Far be it! We are under the same grace, the same Lord, and are recipients of the same promise to salvation in Jesus Christ. So come and worship him with one another! God bless your worship of the Savior Jesus who revealed this to us at Epiphany! Pastor Mueller

Greetings St. Paul's Family and Friends, The day is coming where you will meet your Lord Jesus. On that day he won't be in swaddling clothes. He'll be wrapped in glory as the God-man he is. _How will you be?_ Will you be surprised at his grandeur? Will you be caught off guard by your sin? Or will you be prepared by faith and dressed in Christ's success freely given you through the means of grace? For that to happen God steers us away from our sin to prepare for that meeting with the term, "Repent." May we take it to heart and take him to heart! God's blessings, Pastor Mueller

Greetings to all of you! This Sunday we celebrate the last Sunday in the church calendar year. It is called _Christ the King_Sunday. Unlike fading monarchies on earth that are more a relic of a bygone era, Jesus is a King and still functions as King. Today in our worship we study the incredible way he conquered...by going to a cross! May the Lord bless your worship of the King! Pastor Mueller

Greetings St. Paul's Family and Friends - This weekend our readings point out the elephant in the room, and that is Jesus is coming back. There is a last day, a day of judgment for people. For many that won't be a pleasant day or future existence. It will be a day of wrath and mourning. For the people of God it will be the greatest release ushering in perpetual joy - all because of Jesus Christ. Are you ready? Are you standing firm in the one true Christian faith? May we all consider our ways and take to heart his grace! God bless your weekend - Pastor Mueller

Greetings St. Paul's Family and Friends! It doesn't take much to lose the gospel of Jesus Christ, the forgiveness of sins, or eternal life. Look at the history of the Christian church! God sets up his church and man thinks he can improve on it! He sets things in the way and soon the way is muddled. That happened both in Jesus' day as well in Martin Luther's. Thank God Jesus turned the tables and single handedly cleared the path. Thank God Jesus sends faithful workers who turn tables. They keep God's house central as a place of grace and a house of prayer. Come and worship God for all he has done...and hold on to the gospel! God bless you this weekend - Pastor Mueller

Greetings to all of you dear St. Paul's family! This world has so much to offer in a wonderful way - after all, God created it! Is there something in it though that we might prefer to hold closer to our hearts? Are there things here that seep into our soul that our grip doesn't want to let go? Everything has a value, some more, some less. What about the value we place on something this world can't offer? What is the value we place on eternal life? How important is it for you to be there with the God who can give it to you? Would you really let something from this world keep you from all that Jesus has to offer? These things are what we consider today especially in our sermon from Luke 18:18-30. God bless all of you this week! Pastor Mueller

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

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.
