What does it mean to be a Lutheran? The Lutheran Reformation was founded on the “Three Solas” (Latin for “alone”): “Grace Alone, Faith Alone, Scripture Alone”.
In 1517, Martin Luther’s 95 Theses were headed in that direction. His 1529 Small Catechism condenses those biblical truths into a text book for instruction. In 1521, He was called to Worms and told to “sit down and shut up” by withdrawing all his writings and declaring them to be false. Luther stood up instead and kept proclaiming the truth. By 1530, it was time to set the record straight - against false accusations hurled against them and confusion that was spread as to what Lutherans believed. So the process began to draft the Augsburg Confession. It was a clear and concise summary of the teachings of Scripture, a bold declaration of what the Scriptures say and what they do not. It was a statement of biblical truth and a refutation of biblical error. It was a demonstration that the Lutheran faith is the Christian faith and the orthodox teachings that the church has held too since the time of Christ.
So on June 25, 1530, the Augsburg Confession was boldly, confidently and loudly read. Charles V and anyone else within earshot heard a systematic presentation of the Bible’s truth. They heard an incredible answer to the question: What does it mean to be a Lutheran?” And all who read its 28 articles today hear that answer as well.
What a blessing to generations of Lutheran Christians those men and their courage, conviction, and confession have been! June 25, 1530 was truly a turning point in the life of the Lutheran Church. Blessings have been coming our way as a result ever since. And now as you join in our discussion, those blessings are sure to come your way as well!
The Augsburg Confession is included in the Book of Concord. You can find a free version online here. Grab your printed copy off the shelf or get your own copy here.

Isaiah lived during one of the saddest times in the history of God’s people. He saw God’s judgment unleashed on his cousins to the north - the Northern Kingdom of Israel for their stubborn and consistent unbelief. God sent the powerful nation of Assyria to conquer their land and carry off their people.
Isaiah’s message to people of Jerusalem and Judah was that the same fate was coming their way, too. They had committed many of the same sins and had angered God just the same. Isaiah called the people to repentance and warned them that God would come down in justice against them as well. How sad it must have been for Isaiah to record his God given prediction of the future fall of his beloved city, Jerusalem.
Yet God spoke hope to his people as well - to his people in Isaiah’s day and ours. Isaiah proclaimed the mercy and compassion, the forgiveness and love that God would show to his people in bringing back the remnant from captivity and to all believers in the sending of the Messiah to be our Savior from sin. Indeed, the meaning of Isaiah’s name is true, the LORD is our salvation.
We are hoping that you will join us in reading one chapter of the book of Isaiah each weekday and then in listening in on our discussion of each chapter.

Martin Luther said in the preface to his Large Catechism:
“Besides, nothing is more effectual against the devil, the world and the flesh and all evil thoughts than to be occupied with the Word of God, and to speak thereof, and meditate upon it; so that the first Psalm declares those blessed who meditate upon the law of God day and night.

Martin Luther said in the preface to his Large Catechism:
“Besides, nothing is more effectual against the devil, the world and the flesh and all evil thoughts than to be occupied with the Word of God, and to speak thereof, and meditate upon it; so that the first Psalm declares those blessed who meditate upon the law of God day and night. Undoubtedly, you will never offer any incense or other savor against Satan more efficacious than employment upon God’s commandments and words, and speaking, singing, or thinking thereof. For this is indeed the truly holy water and holy sign from which he flees, and by which he is driven away. ”

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” These are the first words that God inspired Moses to record on the pages of Holy Scripture. It’s the beginning. The story of Creation and the Fall into Sin. It’s the story of God’s grace to his people.

Formula of Concord - Article XII - Other Factions and Sects
After the death of Martin Luther in 1546, controversies arose in the Lutheran Church that began to question, compromise and erode the foundation upon which he stood and built his church. Written in 1577, Lutheran leaders faced those controversies head on by continuing to stand on the Word of God and continuing to put their faith in the clear message of Scripture. They produced a document, divided into twelve articles that we know today as the Formula of Concord.
Follow along with us as we read through and discuss each article of the Formula and make applications to the lives of 21st Century Christians. You can read along with the Formula or just join in on the discussion.
The best way to find the Formula of Concord is in the Book of Concord. Would you like to own your own copy? It's an inexpensive way to have the Formula and other beautiful confessional Lutheran writings at your fingertips and use them educationally and devotionally. Below are links to two different versions that we are recommending.
Concordia: The Lutheran Confessions - A Reader's Edition of the Book of Concord
Book of Concord : Kolb Wengert Edition
There's a free edition of the Book of Concord online at: www.bookofconcord.org

It means that we believe that we are saved by Grace Alone (it's all because of the undeserved love of Jesus), through Faith Alone (We don't work to achieve salvation), on the basis of Scripture Alone (We have no other authority, except the Word of God). And all this is ours In Christ Alone.
To be a Lutheran means to believe as Martin Luther believed and teach as he taught. It means to stand with him on a bold confession of faith and to subscribe to the Book of Concord - because it is faithful to the Word of God.
Join us through this Here We Stand series to better understand the Lutheran Confessions and the history into which they were written. We'll explore the context of each of the writings of the Book of Concord and share some insights to help us better understand and appreciate them. So whether you are an avid reader of the Book of Concord or have never cracked one open, this series is for you.
Would you like to own your own copy of the Book of Concord? It's an inexpensive way to have these beautiful Lutheran writings at your fingertips and use them educationally and devotionally. Below are links to two different versions that we are recommending.

The Nature of Christian Love
Love shows itself in generous giving.
Planning our financial gifts for the ministry of the gospel is wisely done with generosity in mind: God’s generosity to us and our generosity to others. Neither the needs of the church nor the size of the gift matters to God. What God loves is the right attitude of our hearts.
Prayer of the DayAlmighty and ever-living God, you have given exceedingly great and precious promises to those who trust in you. Grant us so firmly to believe in your Son Jesus that our faith may never be found wanting; through the same Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

Pride has no place in love.
The insistent cry “We have rights” doesn’t come from a Christian heart. Martin Luther once said, “A Christian is a perfectly free lord of all, subject to none. A Christian is a perfectly dutiful servant, subject to all.” May God remove our pride so that we may truly love one another.

Why do we need to remain attached to Jesus?
Choices, choices. Every day in so many ways we make choices about what brings value to our lives. The Bread of Life sets before us the way of life with God and urges us to believe and live.

Sermon
John 6:57-69
What do we gain by relying on Jesus?
Very different from the allures of life, Jesus’ spiritual menu offers bread for the soul which cleanses us from sin and gives us life with God that never ends.
Prayer of the Day
What do we gain by relying on Jesus?
Very different from the allures of life, Jesus’ spiritual menu offers bread for the soul which cleanses us from sin and gives us life with God that never ends.
SermonJohn 6:35-51
Why is Jesus the only Way to life with God?
We are surrounded by feasts that serve the flesh. We catch the scent of banquets that whet our appetites for what pleases our bodies and minds. Only Jesus offers spiritual food and nourishment that lasts.
Prayer of the DayMerciful Father, you gave your Son Jesus as the heavenly bread of life. Grant us faith to feast on him in your Word and Sacraments that we may be nourished unto life everlasting; through the same Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
Sermon
John 6:24-35
How does God protect us?
Sometimes it’s hard to see God’s protecting care. In the throes of trouble God sometimes seems far away. But Jesus is always close by with his love and power and comes to our rescue at just the right time.
Prayer of the DayAlmighty and most merciful God, the protector of all who trust in you, strengthen our faith and give us courage to believe that in your love you will rescue us from all adversities; through Jesus Christ, your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
Sermon
Mark 6:45-52
How Does God Guide Us?
Jesus promised, “I will be with you always,” but we wonder sometimes where he is when we need him most. Jesus helps us understand how he shepherds us and leads us to green pastures and quiet waters as we walk through life
Prayer of the DayO God, the strength of all who trust in you, mercifully hear our prayers. Be gracious to us in our weakness and give us strength to keep your commandments in all we say and do; through Jesus Christ, your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
SermonJeremiah 23:1-6
How Can We Witness?
When Jesus calls us to “go and make disciples of all nations,” he doesn’t leave us without procedures, policies, and promises. When he asks us to be his witnesses he supplies what we need to carry out our task.
Prayer of the DayO Lord, you granted your prophets strength to resist the temptations of the devil and courage to proclaim repentance. Give us pure hearts and minds to follow your Son faithfully even into suffering and death; through the same Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
SermonAmos 7:10-17
Why should we speak?
Some don’t care if we speak about Jesus. Some are angered when we speak about Jesus. Some make our lives difficult when we speak about Jesus. So what’s the point of it? Jesus knew all about the challenges to witnessing, and he knows how to answer our question.
Prayer for GraceO God, you have called your servants to ventures of faith of which we cannot see the ending, by paths as yet untrodden, through perils unknown. Give us faith to go out with good courage, not knowing where we go, but only that your hand is leading us and your love supporting us; through Jesus Christ, our Lord.
SermonEzekiel 2:1-7
Why does God do that?
We know how God does great and powerful deeds; he is God and can do all things. We wonder sometimes what leads God to do what he does. Jesus displays power over nature to strengthen the confidence of his followers.
Prayer of the Day
O Lord our God, govern the nations on earth and direct the affairs of this world so that your Church may worship you in peace and joy; through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
Sermon TextMark 4:35-41
How does the Church grow?
Sometimes churches grow; sometimes churches shrink. Jesus helps us to understand how numerical and spiritual growth happens in the Church.
Prayer of the DayAlmighty God, we thank you for planting in us the seed of your Word. By your Holy Spirit help us to receive it with joy and to bring forth fruits in faith and hope and love; through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. **Amen.
Sermon Text**Mark 4:26-34
Should We Fear the Devil?
Since the first days of history Satan has been the ultimate threat and menace to both the Church and its master. He is not invincible, however, and has been opposed and defeated by Jesus again and again. With Jesus as our champion, the devil cannot overtake us.
PRAYER OF THE DAYAlmighty and eternal God, your Son Jesus triumphed over the prince of demons and freed us from bondage to sin. Help us to stand firm against every assault of Satan, and enable us always to do your will; through Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
SERMONGenesis 3:8-15
The risen Christ gives his Church confidence.
Will we be able to face death with confidence as Stephen the martyr did? His story is in the First Lesson for this Sunday. It is never easy to think about dying, but Christians face death knowing that Christ has removed their sins and restored their relationship with God. More than that, Jesus represents us each day before the throne of God and provides the evidence that we are his people. Because of Jesus we can face death and all other troubles with supreme confidence.
Prayer of the DayAlmighty God, your Son our Savior was taken up in glory and intercedes for us at your right hand. Through your living and abiding Word, give us hearts to know him and faith to follow where he has gone; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
Sermon
John 17:11-19
God’s Providence Chapter 11
A short and sweet conclusion to the series on the book God’s Providence. Chapter 11 wraps up the doctrine that we’ve been discussing for 10 weeks and leaves us with a pleasant reminder that we can trust in God and we can thank him each day for his loving care and providence.
GOD'S PROVIDENCE
Join us as we embark on a journey together as a church and podcast family to read through the book "God's Providence: He Cares for You." We'll read chapter by chapter through the book and discuss the Scripture truths that provide the framework for this topical study. Share your questions with the podcast team to get them answered and maybe even discussed in a future episode. Purchase the book from us or find info about how to get a digital or print copy from our website gracedowntown.org. Share your questions about God's Providence, Most Certainly true podcast, or Grace's ministry in and to downtown Milwaukee with Pastor Hackmann at bhackmann@gracedowntown.org. Thanks for joining in on the fun!!!
The risen Christ gives his Church protection.
Foes without and fears within—that’s how a poet once described the enemies that attack believers. Every day Christians face aggression and assaults that would destroy faith in the risen Christ. The same Good Shepherd who died to save his sheep provides pastors and leaders to guard the Church with the Word of God. Do you feel the heat? The risen Christ gives you protection from your enemies.
Prayer of the DayO Lord Jesus Christ, you are the Good Shepherd who laid down your life for the sheep. Lead us now to the still waters of your life-giving Word that we may abide in your Father’s house forevermore; for you live and reign with him and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
SermonJohn 10:11-18
God’s Providence Chapter 9
We’ve been looking at what God’s Word teaches on the topic of God’s Providence for a couple of months now. Chapter 9 is a chance to look at how those teachings are twisted and skewed to end up in places or with teachings that aren’t in line with Scripture. The discussion (as does the chapter of the book) ends with the topic of God’s will and how we find out what that is. Enjoy your reading and listening to this discussion on Chapter 9 or God’s Providence.

The risen Christ gives his Church peace.
Hopeless and confused—that’s how Jesus’ followers were feeling on the days after Easter. They knew Jesus had died and was buried, but there were rumors swirling around that he was alive. What to believe! Then Jesus appeared and ended the confusion and uncertainty. As his death had provided peace with God, so his life provided peace of mind and heart. In a world where nothing seems sure, the risen Christ gives us peace and certainty.
Prayer of the DayO risen Lord, you came to your disciples and took away their fears with your word of peace. Come to us also by Word and sacrament, and banish our fears with the comforting assurance of your abiding presence; for you live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
Sermon TextJohn 20:19-31
The risen Christ gives his Church understanding.
Even after his resurrection, Jesus’ disciples had trouble gaining a clear vision of who Jesus was and what their task was to be. As he had done so many times before, Jesus reviewed the need for his suffering and death and urged them on to their assignment. When we struggle to know God’s will for our lives, we turn to the Savior’s word. He gives us a clear understanding of his work and our mission.
Prayer of the DayO God, by the humiliation of your Son you lifted up this fallen world from the despair of death. By his resurrection to life, grant your faithful people gladness of heart and the hope of eternal joys; through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
Sermon TextActs 3:11-20
Prayer of the Day
Almighty God, by the glorious resurrection of your Son Jesus Christ you conquered death and
opened the gate to eternal life. Grant that we, who have been raised with him through baptism, may walk in newness of life and ever rejoice in the hope of sharing his glory; through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom, with you and the Holy Spirit be dominion and praise now and forever.
Sermon TextMark 16:1-8
PRAYER OF THE DAYLord Jesus Christ, in the sacrament of Holy Communion you give us your true body and blood as a remembrance of your suffering and death on the cross. Grant us so firmly to believe your words and promise that we may always partake of this sacrament to our eternal good, for you live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.

The Savior in Conflict with Death
Death is the ultimate enemy. Despite its inevitability, we battle against it every day. In the end, we lose the battle, for everyone dies. Jesus battled against death, too. Not because of his own sins but because of his mission to save, death was inevitable for him. Despite its horror, Jesus faced his death with steel-like determination, and in his death we gain life with God forever.
Prayer of the Day
Eternal God and Father, help us to remember Jesus, who obeyed your will and bore the cross for our salvation that through his anguish, pain, and death we may receive forgiveness of sins and inherit eternal life; through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.

The Savior in conflict with the cross.
Although the horror of the cross can’t be appreciated by modern Christians, we understand its symbolism. The cross is where Jesus paid the penalty we deserved because of sin. The cross is also the symbol of the troubles we experience because we follow him in faith. In worship today, Jesus puts the cross in perspective, his and ours, and urges us to carry our crosses as we follow him.
Prayer of the Day
Almighty God, you see that we have no power to defend ourselves. Guard and keep us both
outwardly and inwardly from all adversities that may happen to the body and from all evil thoughts that may assault and hurt the soul; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
Sermon TextJob 1:13-22
God’s Providence Chapter 4God provides for mankind, sometimes directly, but most often through a secondary cause. God is the primary cause of everything, but he uses secondary causes like family, government, angels to provide for and protect his people. Grow in your understanding and appreciation for the way that God provides for us in reading Chapter 4 and listening to this episode of Most Certainly True.

The Savior in conflict with Satan
The Gospels during the season of Lent record episodes in the Savior’s ministry when he confronts the enemies that oppose his work to save. On the First Sunday in Lent we remember his conflict with Satan who sought to deter him from the path to cross. We find great comfort in Jesus’ victory: Satan cannot derail Jesus in any way! We also find an example in our battles with the devil. As Jesus did, we employ the Word of God.
Prayer of the Day
Lord our strength, the battle of good and evil rages within and around us, and our ancient foe tempts us with his deceits and empty promises. Keep us steadfast in your Word, and when we fall, raise us up again and restore us through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
Sermon TextMark 1:12-15
Just what is the scope of God’s Providence for us? How much does he care? How much does he do? Well, if God cares for the flowers and if he loves the sparrows, doesn’t he love you so much more? If he provides for the animals and protects the plants, won’t he provide you in vastly greater measure? He will! And he does! Rejoice in that truth as you read chapter 3 and as you listen to the discussion on Most Certainly True.

The Last Sunday after the Epiphany
The Transfiguration of Our Lord
Before he began the journey that led him to the cross, Jesus pulled back the veil of his humanity and displayed to his disciples the magnificence of his divine nature. The Savior we will follow through confrontation and passion during the Season of Lent is the true and mighty Lord.
Prayer of the DayO God, in the glorious transfiguration of your only begotten Son, you confirmed the mysteries of the faith by the testimony of Moses and Elijah, and in the voice that came from the bright cloud you foreshadowed our adoption as your sons: in your mercy, make us co-heirs of glory with Jesus our King and bring us at last to heaven; through Jesus Christ, your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
Sermon TextMark 9:2-9
Chapter Two takes us further on our journey to understand and appreciate God’s providence. We’ll discuss, as the author does, three main aspects of God’s work to provide for us: preservation, concurrence and direction. God’s language is varied and unique that he uses to describe this aspect of his love for us! He draws out many pictures and concepts for us using a variety of different words and ideas as he communicates this truth to us!

The Savior Calls Us to Hear and Believe His Powerful Word.
As Jesus began to visit the cities and towns of Galilee and Judea, he taught the people to see him as the Messiah God had promised to send. His amazing miracles gave witness to his authority as a messenger from God. We still hear his words today, and our hearts are fired by his wonderful teachings.
Prayer of the Day
Heavenly Father, keep your family continually in true faith, so that those who rely only on the hope of your heavenly grace may be protected by your mighty power; through Jesus Christ, your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
Sermon Text | Hebrews 3:1-6
Serving as the sixth pastor in the history of Grace, Pastor Elmer Mahnke brought Grace Church though some difficult times in it’s and in our country’s history. He loved Jesus and his people and had a deep desire for Jesus to be shared with and loved by our community and our world. God used this man to serve god’s people for 12+ years – more evidence of God’s Grace at Grace!

The Savior calls us to be witnesses of his love.
Jesus calls us to faith so that he may bless us with eternal life. He also calls us so that we may be a blessing to others as we proclaim the good news of eternal life for all.
Prayer of the Day
Almighty God, you sent your Son to proclaim your kingdom and to teach with authority. Anoint us with the power of your Spirit that we, too, may bring good news to the afflicted, bind up the brokenhearted, and proclaim liberty to the captive; through Jesus Christ, your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
Sermon Text
2 Corinthians 5:14-21
The Savior calls us to believe and follow.
Soon after his baptism, Jesus began to call people to follow him, to learn from him the way of truth, and so to gain eternal life. Jesus still calls us today in mighty and mysterious ways, so that we may gain all the blessings he has to give.
Prayer of the Day
Almighty God, you gave your one and only Son to be the light of the world. Grant that your people, illumined by your Word and sacraments, may shine with the radiance of Christ’s glory, that he may be known, worshiped, and believed to the ends of the earth; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
Amen.
Sermon TextJohn 1:43-51
God continued to shower his grace on our congregation through its fifth pastor, Elton Huebner. He brought the congregation through the difficult time of the illness and eventual death of its pastor and continued to proclaim hope and peace and joy in Jesus!

Pastor William Sauer was Grace’s 4th Pastor. He served the congregation faithfully and kept up the tradition of long ministries at Grace. He served for 23 years and 5 months, taking the congregation through the Great Depression and World War II. William sauer was a steady hand at the wheel and a godly leader for our church. He’s yet another example of God’s Grace at Grace.

God blessed our congregation in 1906 with Pastor Carl Gausewitz. He was a well respected servant of God – serving as the President of the Minnesota Synod prior to coming to Grace and serving as the President of the Synodical Conference. He authored the first showed a loved for education by serving on a team and eventually single handedly writing a catechism book that was the standard for instruction for many decades. Carl Gausewitz was a gifted man and gift to our church and church body! He most certainly is an example of God’s Grace at Grace.

Following the founder must have been a tall task, but theological great, Theodor Jaekel was up to the job. He pastored our congregation for 37 years and 11 month. (He had the longest ministry at Grace until Pastor Huebners’ length of ministry here surpassed him in 2020.) A great man of God and a respected leader for our congregation, Theodor was as his name (and his wife Theodora’s name too) suggests, a gift from God. Enjoy listening to more of God’s Grace at Grace.

The Savior calls us to believe that his baptism impacts our baptisms.
At his baptism in the Jordan River, Jesus gained from his Father the approval and authorization to begin his ministry of bringing salvation to the world. As Jesus achieved that goal, he blesses our baptism and uses it to connect us to his life, death, and resurrection for the forgiveness of sins.
Prayer of the Day
Father in heaven, at the baptism of Jesus in the River Jordan you proclaimed him your beloved Son and anointed him with the Holy Spirit. Keep us who are baptized into Christ faithful in our calling as your children and make us heirs with him of everlasting life; through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
Sermon TextIsaiah 49:1-6
The beginning of God’s Grace at Grace in downtown Milwaukee can be traced back to the life and ministry of Pastor Johannes Muehlhaeuser. The founding pastor of our church and one of three pastors that started the church body that is now known as the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod (WELS). Pastor Muehlhaeuser wrote the first WELS constitution and served as the church body’s first president. What a gift to so many who call Grace or our beloved WELS their home! Tune in to learn more about Pastor Johannes Muehlhaeuser and God’s Grace at Grace.

Jesus Shared Our Humanity.
The Gospel accounts of the life of Jesus Christ offer precious little about his early years. The focus is on his ministry, message, death, and resurrection, and rightly so. That is the heart of God’s saving love for us. What God does reveal to us about his youth is an account that fits the Christmas season of the church year, the marvelous truth of his perfect life in our place as our brother.
Prayer of the DayAlmighty God, you have filled us with the new light of the Word who became flesh and lived among us. Let the light of our faith shine in all that we do; through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
Sermon TextHebrews 2:10-18
Our Eyes Have Seen Your Salvation
There are two great miracles in Christmas: the one is that God took on human flesh to rescue us from Satan and sin; the second is that he shows himself to us so that we may know we have life with God forever.
Hear our prayers, Lord Jesus Christ, and come with the good news of your mighty deliverance. Drive the darkness from our hearts and fill us with your light; for you live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
**Amen.
Sermon:** Luke 2:22-40
Prayer of the Day
Almighty God, grant that the birth of your only Son in the flesh may set us free from our old bondage under the yoke of sin; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
Sermon: John 1:1-18
Prayer of the Day
Almighty God, you made this holy night shine with the brightness of the true light. Grant that as we have known on earth the wonder of that light, we may also behold him in all his glory in the life to come; through your only Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
Amen.
Sermon: Titus 3:4-7
The discussion on the book “Cvil Government” concludes - (you made it – congrats on reading to the end!!) with one final discussion on Chapter 15. Church exists within the confines of the state, but it is not the role or responsibility of the church to control the state. The church does not tell its members how to vote, or politicians how to lead. Yet those citizens who are politicians and those citizens who are church members do have the responsibility to be active in the affairs of the state. Yet they can come to their own conclusions about how best to accomplish the goal of establishing and maintaining a fair and functioning government. The church can’t change hearts nor do we want to see it try. Only the gospel can create faith and only faith can drive a desire to stand up for God’s truth.
We are glad to offer you this last episode in the series and would love to have you check out some past episodes or tune in to hear our next episodes of Most Certainly True Podcast.

CIVIL GOVERNMENT
As Christians living in this world, we are citizens of two kingdoms. The first is the spiritual kingdom that we are a part of by the grace of God and the work of Jesus! The second kingdom of which we are citizens is an earthly kingdom that is ruled over by civil governments. God gives us civil governments to keep us safe and to be a blessing to all people. Governments take care of their citizens and provide safety, comfort and assistance to their people. In this podcast series, we will be looking at what God says to us about how to glorify him as citizens of earthly kingdoms.

The Savior Is Coming: Rejoice and Confess Him
John the Baptizer clearly identified Jesus as the Savior God promised to send. Still today he encourages us look to Jesus as the only Savior who takes away our sin and guilt and solves the troubles and tragedies of life.
Prayer of the Day
Hear our prayers, Lord Jesus Christ, and come with the good news of your mighty deliverance. Drive the darkness from our hearts and fill us with your light; for you live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.

The Savior Is Coming: Be Prepared to Receive Him
God sent John the Baptizer to prepare the people of Israel for the Savior’s coming, and his words still encourage us to be prepared. Whether we celebrate Jesus’ first coming at Christmas, his coming to us in Word and sacrament, or his final coming at the end of time, our preparation is the same: we turn away from sin and look to Jesus as Savior.
Stir up our hearts, O Lord, to prepare the way for your only Son. By his coming give us strength in our conflicts and shed light on our path through the darkness of this world; through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
Amen.Mark 1:1-8

The Savior Is Coming: Believe and Be Saved
With the First Sunday in Advent a new church year begins. We join our voices to those who praised Jesus on Palm Sunday: Hosanna! Save us Lord. Our annual review of Jesus’ ministry, passion, and resurrection repeats the good news that God forgives our sins in Christ.
O God, you have called your servants to ventures of faith of which we cannot see the ending, by paths as yet untrodden, through perils unknown. Give us faith to go out with good courage, not knowing where we go, but only that your hand is leading us and your love supporting us; through Jesus Christ, our Lord.
Amen.
Isaiah 64:1-9
Throughout the ages, state and church have struggled to find their way. Abuses on both sides have made things difficult and increased the struggle for either to do the jobs that God has intended. In this discussion, Pastors Huebner and Hackmann consider how this struggle is something that has been experienced outside of Lutheranism as well. John Clavin and his pursuit of a church lead utopia highlights another way that a loss of the doctrine of Justification as taught in Holy Scripture and then a subsequent loss and false understanding of original sin and the theology of the cross as well as confusing and crossing the roles of church and state have a grave impact on citizens and members of the church. Press play and sit back and enjoy another chapter of Civil government and another episode of Most Certainly True.

The Church awaits the final judgment.
Once again we have completed our review of the most important
teachings of the Scripture as they are laid out for us in the Christian
Church Year. As all things come to an end, we wait and watch for
the Savior’s return.
Prayer of the Day
Eternal God, merciful Father, you have appointed your Son as judge of the living and the dead. Enable us to wait for the day of his return with our eyes fixed on the kingdom prepared for your own from the foundation of the world; through Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
Sermon Text1 Thessalonians 4:13-18In an orderly way the Lord Jesus will pronounce his final judgment.
Luther and his followers saw and spoke up against the infringement of Civil leaders into the spiritual realm. Even though those abuses were entrenched for a 1000 years, they stood up on Scripture and worked to get the Church and the State back in their lanes. Even when it caused persecution, Luther preached respect and honor for temporal government, even when they stepped on the toes of the Church or even worse. Luther stood in the middle, preaching love and respect. God used him and those who believed like him to reform the church. They began the sometimes painful process of separating Church and State and giving them the tools that God intended for them to use! This fascinating look at the early history of the Lutheran Church is worth the read and of course the listen!

CIVIL GOVERNMENT
As Christians living in this world, we are citizens of two kingdoms. The first is the spiritual kingdom that we are a part of by the grace of God and the work of Jesus! The second kingdom of which we are citizens is an earthly kingdom that is ruled over by civil governments. God gives us civil governments to keep us safe and to be a blessing to all people. Governments take care of their citizens and provide safety, comfort and assistance to their people. In this podcast series, we will be looking at what God says to us about how to glorify him as citizens of earthly kingdoms.

Pastors Strong and Hackmann follow our historical journey from the Middle Ages until the time of Luther. Chapter 10 of Civil Government follows through the problems and pitfalls of what has happened in history when Church and State are intermingled. See how the Church lost her way and how the gospel was hidden in this dark period in history, largely because church and state tried to play each other’s role.

Part Two of the book Civil Government deals with the history of government in the New Testament. Chapter 9 covers the first part of the New Testament era, from the Apostles to Constantine. The book explores the worldviews and concepts that drove the relationship between church and government in the first 3 and a half centuries of the Christian Church’s existence. Pastors Huebner and Hackmann add to the discussion that begins on the pages of Civil Government on persecution, emperor worship. Learn the interesting way that an experience in Emperor Constantine’s life led to his conversion and the conversion of so many in the Roman Empire. The Nicene Creed is written in this period and serves us well as one of our 3 Ecumenical Creeds. Enjoy this discussion on these pages.

How does a Christian live as a citizen of a civil government. What are we to do in the arena of politics? Chapters 7 and 8 review for us that The church and government have different tools and they have different goals. The Christian gains understanding and truth from the pages of Scripture, but must use a reasonable argument to present their case in the civic arena. Explore topics like how to vote for either of 2 flawed candidates, being a soldier and determining how to obey both God and his representatives on earth. What is a just war? Must a Christian fight? What to do about oaths, can I take another person to court? All these fascinating topics are covered in these two chapters and in this episode of Most Certainly True.

Join us as Pastors Strong and Hackmann discuss what it all means for us! What is our responsibility to our civil authorities? How do we live as citizens of Civil Government? God calls on us to love respect and pray for those in authority over us – because peace is advantageous to all, and because our government is filled with people for whom Jesus died! God wears the mask of government to serve us and those in our world.

God gives us government as a gift and as his servant. Even when we can’t see it so clearly, God is working his plans and purposes for us and for all people through government. Church and state have different tools, different roles, and different goals. We would do well to keep these differences in mind. When we expect the government to accomplish what the Church has been called to do or vice versa, we will be left disappointed. Whether we have a government that is good, fair and equitable to us or not, we can rejoice that God is in control. Christ is King of both kingdoms and nothing can take from him his throne in either realm. Join us for a discussion on chapters 3-4 or Civil Government.

God established both the Church and the State as a result of the Fall into sin. The Church’s job is to announce the forgiveness of sins and point people to their Savior Jesus. The purpose of the State or government is to curb harmful behavior and keep it’s citizens safe. Without sin there would be no need for either as there would be no need for a Savior and there would be no need to keep citizens safe. Love and holiness would win the day! Every time! What a world that would be! God set up Church and government for unique purposes and he plans to bless us through each. In Israel there was a unique circumstance, that both Church and State were represented in the same entity. God ruled his people either directly or through a king that he selected. We learn and seek to emulate the examples of David and Daniel as we seek to find the right and God pleasing way to live as a citizen of 2 kingdoms.

The organ has been a staple of Lutheran worship for 450 years, and it’s been a staple of the history of Grace for the 170+ years that we have been privileged to gather and worship the Lord. Hear from 2 experts who plan and play music from our organ bench in this podcast episode. Learn the story of our organ, the modifications and improvements that have been made and learn about its rationale and role in the worship life of our congregation.

Built in 1900, the structure that you know of as Grace Lutheran Church on the corner of Juneau and Broadway has been a mainstay in the downtown Milwaukee community. The group of German Christians that called this congregation their home brought God glory in the building of 2 churches – one dedicated in 1851 and the current structure to replace it, dedicated in 1901! These churches were built to God’s glory and became a place where God’s glory is proclaimed and has been for a collective 170 years. Listen to this first in the series episode to learn about and further appreciate the unique blessing that the church building is to the ministry here. Join in and learn about “God’s Grace at Grace”

The Church guards the faith of others.
Jesus calls his people to reach out to the world. He also calls us to approach people we know, even brothers and sisters, who are giving in to sin and risking unbelief. This is "mission work" at its hardest.
Prayer:
O Lord Jesus Christ, preserve the congregation of believers with your never-failing mercy. Help us avoid whatever is wicked and harmful, and guide us in the way that leads to our salvation; for you live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen
The Church lives under the cross.
Following Jesus brings countless blessings, but among them are not leisure and freedom from trouble. As believers carry out their work as the Church, they can expect opposition and hardship. Carrying a cross often identifies a person as a Christian.
Prayer:
O God, you have called your servants to ventures of faith of which we cannot see the ending, by paths as yet untrodden, through perils unknown. Give us faith to go out with good courage, not knowing where we go, but only that your hand is leading us and your love supporting us; through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
Revelation is one of the most discussed and most misunderstood books in the whole Bible. While the pastors at Grace don’t have all the answers for you, I think you’ll benefit from listening to this podcast and being shown some of the glory of this unique book of Scripture. Through its sights and symbols and visions, God reveals to John and to us one glorious and simple truth! JESUS WINS!! So read this glorious book and enjoy this only slightly less glorious discussion of the book of Revelation!
Hebrews is a marvelous book in the new Testament, a beautiful sermon on the intent and purpose of the Old Testament ceremonial code. God commanded what worship should look like in the Old Testament and with good reason. Everything pointed forward to Jesus. Now faced with the temptation to revert back to the Old Testament style of worship, the writer of this beautiful book warns of the danger of backsliding. Jesus is better than Moses, than the High Priest, than the Sabbath Day. His blood paid the full price of our sins. His sacrifice was sufficient!! Don’t slide away from Jesus! He’s the best and the only Savior!!
The Church Is For All People.
Jesus helps us to see that his love is for all and encourages his people to reach out to those of all nationalities, cultures and backgrounds.
Prayer:
Almighty and merciful God, it is only by your gift of grace that we come into your presences and offer true and faithful service. Grant that our worship on earth may always be pleasing to you, and in the life to come give us the fulfillment of what you have promised; through Jesus Christ, your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
As Paul sees the end of his life approaching, he makes his final preparations and gives his final encouragements to his son in the faith and partner in the gospel - Timothy. His confidence, hope and joy are inspiring in their own regard, and especially so when considering that he wrote these words and held this hope even from his dungeon jail cell! We can take his words and be encouraged to praise God, in any and every situation!
Christians live by faith, overcoming doubt.
Full of bravado, Peter accepted Jesus' invitation to walk on the water of the Sea of Galilee. His faith was not strong enough to overcome his doubts, however, and he began to sink. As he did for Peter, Jesus strengthens our faith and leads us to overcome our doubts with his power and promises.
Prayer:
Almighty and most merciful God, preserve us from all harm and danger that we, being ready in both body and soul, may cheerfully accomplish what you want done; through Jesus Christ, your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
The Apostle John writes his letters to encourage his listeners toward truth and love! Both are absolutely necessary in the life and mission of a Christian! Read these short letters and join in to learn even more as Pastors Hackmann and Huebner discuss these New Testament gems!
Christians live by faith, trusting God to provide
Jesus cares for our physical needs just as he cares for our spiritual needs. He does this, however, in ways we don’t expect and can’t always understand. Just as he fed more than 5,000 people with five loaves of bread and two fish, so he takes care of us in normal and supernatural ways.
Prayer:
God, our gracious Father, has forgiven all your sins. He sent his only Son, Jesus Christ, to be our Savior. Jesus paid the penalty for your guilt by his death on the cross and freed you from death by his resurrection from the grave. You are at peace with God. Live in the comfort and joy of his forgiveness.
What a gift to God's Church and to Christians this book of Romans is! Paul's letter to the churches that were gathering in several houses in the city of Rome has become a jewel in al of Scripture for the encouragement and edifying of all believers. His Bible Information Class for those believers and us guides us all through sin, grace, election, Christian living, godly service, vocational living and church fellowship. You would do well to spend a lot of time in this amazing book. And you'd also do well (in my opinion) to listen to this podcast!! Enjoy listening to the 3 pastors at Grace discuss Paul's letter to the Romans.
Christians live by faith, valuing spiritual wealth.
Christians must assess what has passing value and what has eternal value and then strive with diligence to secure treasures that will last. We pray that Jesus gives us wisdom to choose what is good and put aside what is not.
Prayer:
O God, you reveal your mighty power chiefly in showing mercy and kindness. Grant us the full measure of your grace that we may obtain your promises and become partakers of your heavenly glory; through Jesus Christ, your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
Amen.
John’s First Epistle is dripping with the love that the Savior has for us! Simple, yet profound, John points us to the love that the Savior has for us and how it motivates us to live in that love and show that love to one another! You’ll love this read this read through 1 John and we hope you love this podcast!
Christians live by faith, recognizing the battle between truth and error.
Jesus warns us that Satan plants weeds (false teachers) wherever the Spirit grows wheat (believers). Christians need to understand this truth lest they are misled by the power and success of false teachers. There is a promise in this Gospel: False teachers will be judged by God and believers will live safely forever in heaven.
Prayer:
O God, so rule and govern our hearts and minds by your Holy Spirit that, ever mindful of your final judgement, we may be stirred up to holiness of living here and dwellwith you in perfect joy hereafter; through Jesus Christ, your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
Praise be to the Spirit that we have Paul’s inspired letter to the Colossians! In it, Paul spotlights Christ as the world’s only and all sufficient Savior from sin! His message is clear. His love is unquestioned. His work is sufficient. His gift is unmatched! He is all and is in all! Christ is the best!! He’s the only one that can give us heavenly hope. He’s the only one that bring peace, joy, unity, forgiveness and love! Read Colossians often and thank God even more that Jesus is your Savior from death and hell! He loves you and heaven is yours in his redeeming blood!!
Christians live by faith, thriving on the power of the Word.
Through the power of his Word Jesus creates faith in the hearts of people and through this Word leads people to offer lives of love to God and one another. We pray that the devil never keeps this Word from growing in us.
Prayer:
Blessed Lord, since you have caused all Holy Scriptures to be written for our learning, grant that we may so hear them, read, mark, learn and inwardly digest them that we may embrace and ever hold fast the blessed hope of everlasting life; through Jesus Christ, your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
Pastors Huebner and Hackmann go backwards a week and cover a book that you’ve read previously (twice previously if you’re doing the extra readings). The letter drips with Joy, contentment, and celebration of unity. The memorable passages are on every page of this 4 chapter heartfelt and joy filled letter! “Rejoice in the Lord always! I’ll say it again, rejoice!”
Christians live by faith, finding rest in Jesus.
A loving God provided rest for physical weariness by creating his creatures with the ability to sleep. But there has always been more to the concept of rest in the Bible than a break from work and labor. God also provides rest for our souls. He gives us relief from sin and a reprieve from the threat of punishment by leading us to trust in his Son. We find our rest in Jesus.
Prayer:
Gracious God, our heavenly Father, your mercy attends us all our days. Be our strength and support amid the wearisome changes of this world, and at life's end grant us your promised rest and the full joys of your salvation; through Jesus Christ, your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
The message of Paul to the Galatians is a precious treasure! Cling to Jesus and don’t let anything get in the way! He’s the only Savior and worshipping him and him alone is the only way! Don’t add works to the salvation equation, because to do so robs Christ of his glory! Paul masterfully and wonderfully holds up Jesus as the hope and salvation for the Galatians and for you!!
Christians live by faith, loving God above all things.
Today, Jesus reminds us that Christians often must make difficult choices, but learn to love God above all things. For no matter what we leave behind because of our love for God, in him there is only gain.
Prayer:
God of all power and might, you are the giver of all that is good. Help us love you with all our heart, strengthen us in true faith, provide us with all we need, and keep us safe in your care; through Jesus Christ, your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
Paul had a close relationship with the man to whom he writes this letter. Probably a man that Paul converted through his preaching, Titus is referred to as “my son” by Paul. Paul writes to encourage him in his ministry and to build him up in his faith. One of the “pastoral epistles” that Paul writes to a pastor friend, yet there is plenty for all to soak in from these encouraging words! Tune in to review the history behind Titus and his home turf, the island of Crete, and then let the truths of God’s word found in this comforting letter be a source of hope and strength for you as well!
The ministry of the Gospel will face opposition.
When we participate in the ministry of the gospel, we can expect that many will oppose us. In today's Gospel, Jesus warns his disciples that those who hate him will also hate them. The persecution we face is subtler than what the first disciples faced or even what believers endure today around the world. But whether our persecutors are subtle or notorious, Jesus encourages his followers: Do not be afraid of them.
Prayer:
O God, because your abiding presence always goes with us, keep us aware of your daily mercies that we may live secure and content in your eternal love; through Jesus Christ, your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
Same Page Summer continues with a discussion on the Gospel of Matthew. For a man that held a job (tax collector) that made him an outcast, God sure used that job and that place in life and the experiences that Matthew had (including his encounter with Jesus and call to discipleship) to form and flavor his Gospel for the people of his day and for the Church for the rest of time! The man with the job that everyone hated and caused him to be hated too, became the right man for the job of writing down the truths that Jesus is the King of the Jews all the same the Savior of the Gentiles. He’s the one that the Old Testament foretold and the one who could shine the light of God’s love through Christ onto the waiting people of Israel, onto the outcasts and sinners with whom he could relate and onto the Gentiles as well! Jesus is the Savior of All Nations!!
The Ministry of the Gospel is carried out with compassion for God's sheep.
Jesus, the Good Shepherd, has such compassion for his flock that he cares for them through "under-shepherds" so that all may be nourished and fed by his promises of forgiveness and eternal love.
Prayer:
Almighty, eternal God, in the Word of your apostles and prophets, you have proclaimed to us your saving will. Grant us faith to believe your promises that we may receive eternal salvation; through Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
Paul writes so beautifully to his friends who lived in the city of Ephesus. Six chapters that display Paul’s love for the people of Ephesus and his love for his God. The book flows smoothly from truth to truth – from Election to Salvation By Grace to God’s Grace for All, to Unity in the Body of Christ to Living in the Light of Christian Love to Carrying out our Vocation to God’s glory and then culminating in the beautiful picture of the armor of God. There’s so much to see and to experience and celebrate in the book of Ephesians this short podcast doesn’t do it justice! Get comfortable with Paul’s letter to the Ephesians and read it often, because in it you’ll find new treasures and old and you’ll never be left without reason to rejoice in the love of God for us!!
The Ministry of the Gospel Proclaims the Triune God.
Today marks the end of the first half of the Christian calendar: The Time of Christ. Beginning in the season of Advent and concluding with Pentecost last Sunday, the Lutheran Church repeats the great plan God prepared to save the world through his son. From one Sunday to the next, the Holy Spirit has strengthened and deepened our faith through the Word and the Sacrament. On this day, we look back and remember the Holy Trinity - Father, Son and Holy Spirit - and rejoice in God's great gifts to us.
Prayer:
Almighty God and Father, dwelling in majesty and mystery, filling and renewing all creation by your eternal Spirit, and manifesting your saving grace through our Lord Jesus Christ: in mercy cleanse our hearts and lips that, free from doubt and fear, we may ever worship you, one true immortal God, with your Son and the Holy Spirit.
The guys gather together and introduce a new effort being done at Grace Lutheran Church this summer called Same Page Summer. Get on the Same page with us and join us in our effort to read through the New Testament. They begin by discussing some current events, a major Grace milestone and then the gospel of John, which was the reading for this first week of the summer. Due to some technical difficulties (and a button that wasn’t pushed – but we’re not here to assign blame, Pastor Strong’s microphone wasn’t turned on. So he was here and had some great things to say, but they could not be heard. Some edits were made to pass along the conversation to you anyways. My – I mean our collective – apologies to Pastor Strong. And the Pastors H are not going senile when they talk to a person doesn’t appear to be in the room, that’s the skinny on what happened!! Whoops!!
Jesus sends the Holy Spirit to his Church.
On the Day of Pentecost, 50 days after Easter, the ascended Lord Jesus sent the Holy Spirit in a visible and audible way to commission and equip his people to carry out the ministry of the gospel in the world. The Spirit's approval and power rests on us still today as we carry out our mission to preach the gospel to every creature.
Prayer:
Holy Spirit, God and Lord, come to us this joyful day with your sevenfold gift of grace. Rekindle in our hearts the holy fire of your love that in a true and living faith we may tell abroad the glory of our Savior, Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you and the Father, one God, now and forever.
Closing out our reading of Grace Abounds, we conclude this series with a discussion on Chapter 17 – Eschatology. That’s just a big goofy sounding Greek word that means “study of the End Times.” The book closes with a review of the things that the Christian can expect and hope for as we are ushered through death from this world and to the next and the return of Jesus Christ to judge the world and gather the elect to his side in the glory in heaven. We see, in these truths as we have all throughout this series, that God’s Grace Abounds.
Jesus Is Our Intercessor.
The lines of communication between Jesus and his people are always open. He hears and answers our prayers and represents us before the throne of God.
Prayer:
Almighty God, your Son our Savior was taken up in glory and intercedes for us at your right hand. Through your living and abiding Word, give us hearts to know him and faith to follow where he has gone; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
We are holy and redeemed children of God. Because of his grace and forgiveness, we now can do something that we could never do on our own – live that Christian life. Christ Jesus has changed places with us and has fulfilled the law in our place and now we are holy in God’s sight. We can live those holy lives to thank and praise our loving and living Lord! It’s not always east – in fact God promises a struggle, but it’s a struggle which we will overcome, because Jesus is our strength, our joy and our life!
Jesus Is Our Companion.
By trusting in Jesus and keeping his commands (ie - believing what he tells us about himself) we are attached to the Savior's eternal presence. We never walk alone, but are guided by his love and his Spirit.
Prayer:
O God, you are the giver of everything good. Inspire us, your humble servants, to long for what is right and through your gracious guidance, to accomplish it to your glory: through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
Chapter 15 of Grace Abounds discusses the Church. Pastors Strong and Hackmann discuss the difference between the visible and invisible church. They explore the blessing that it is that God has both established the priesthood of all believers and established the public ministry. The church is a blessing for the believer and we pray that this podcast episode is as well.
Jesus is our only Savior.
The living Christ is both inclusive and exclusive: he is the Savior of all people, but he is also the only Savior of all people. We follow Jesus because there is no one else to follow.
Prayer:
O God, you form the minds of your faithful people into a single will. Make us love what you command and desire what you promise, that among the many changes of this world, our hearts may ever yearn for the lasting joys of heaven; through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
God delivers his love to us. You could stop there and this would be amazing enough. But he delivers his love to us through means, means that we can see and touch and hear and smell and taste. We can put our finger on it and gain extra comfort from the touch of God’s love! Celebrate with us the marvel of the mercy of God and add one more thing to your long list of things for which to give thanks – the Means of Grace!!
Jesus is our Shepherd.
The picture of Jesus as a shepherd and his followers as the sheep is a picture that believers cherish. In the Good Shepherd, we see protection, safety, and loving leadership.
Prayer:
O Lord Jesus Christ, you are the Good Shepherd who laid down your life for the sheep. Lead us now to the still waters of your life-giving Word that we may abide in your Father's house forevermore; for you live and reign with him and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
You are one click away from a great discussion on the topic of faith. It’s the topic of Chapter 13 of the book Grace Abounds and so it’s the topic of this week’s discussion. Knowledge, Assent, Trust are the three aspects of faith. All are gifts from God! He’s given us the ability to know, agree and trust in him, in his promises and in the salvation that he provides for us! Rejoice in what our God has done and how he’s given it to us freely by his grace!!
Jesus is our hope.
Sometimes we wonder how life can go on; it seems impossible to see the light at the end of the tunnel. After this or after that, what does the future hold? When he met them on the road to Emmaus, the living Jesus showed two down and out disciples that his resurrection changed their perspective. With Jesus, hope is always alive.
Prayer:
O God, by the humiliation of your Son you lifted up this fallen world from the despair of death. By his resurrection to life, grant your faithful people gladness of heart and the hope of eternal joys; through your son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
It’s the best one there is – the crown jewel of Bible teachings – the doctrine of Justification. Our Heavenly Father has declared us to be not guilty in his sight. Jesus was willing to take the punishment for sin and to become our atoning sacrifice. Salvation is ours by grace. It is ours solely because of who God is and what he, in his loving kindness, was willing to accomplish for us and give to us! To him be the glory!!
Jesus is our joy
Hiding in a safe house in Jerusalem, Jesus' followers were filled with fear of the authorities and confusion over the Master's Whereabouts. Our fears and frustrations are not the same as theirs, but they are real just the same. The living Jesus puts fear to rest and fills his followers with confident joy.
Prayer:
O risen Lord, you came to your disciples and took away their fears with your word of peace. Come to us also by Word and sacrament and banish our fears with the comforting assurance of your abiding presence; for you live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
Pastors Huebner and Hackmann join to discuss the next chapter - chapter 11 of Grace Abounds. It’s a dive into the work of Jesus. He is our Redeemer. work for us. We’ll explore his Humiliation and Exaltation and conclude with a review of his offices or roles for us of Prophet, Priest, and King. Jesus fulfilled all these roles and carried them to perfection to be our Savior from sin.
Jesus Lives!!
The Resurrection is the hope joy and life of the Christian! Today is what it's all about! Without Easter, there's no point to any of it! But Jesus is alive!! He's paid for sin, he's conquered death and he's guaranteed our resurrection and place with him forever in glory! That's why we shout: Alleluia! Praise the Lord!"
Prayer:
Almighty God, through your only-begotten Son, Jesus Christ, you overcame death and opened to us the gate of everlasting life. We humbly pray that we may live before you in righteousness and purity forever; through the same Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
Join the pastors at Grace for this special Holy Week episode. They follow Jesus' week and recount his steps as he enters into Jerusalem for the final times to be our sins' sacrifice! The Amazing Love of Jesus flows from every word spoken, place visited, and wound suffered for us! Marvel with us at the love of God that would save sinners like you and me!
A blessed Holy Week to you all from us at Grace!!
All 3 of the current pastors at Grace joined together (but not too close together) to discuss the Person of Christ. We have the perfect Savior, not just the sinless, though he was. We have precisely the Savior that we needed, the God-man! Jesus Christ is the one who came to fulfill exactly what we needed to be our Savior – to stand in our place and be our substitute and to have his sacrifice be of value to us! The Person of Christ is exactly the person that we need him to be. We don’t have all the answers. We can’t fully grasp the fullness of our Savior Lord, but what the Scriptures reveal we confess and in him we rejoice.
Jesus Conquers Death
"The last enemy to be destroyed is death," wrote St. Paul. Even believers face the inevitability of death. But Jesus, who conquered eternal death by offering himself on the cross, will also raise our bodies from the grave.
It’s who we are! It’s not anyone’s favorite - to talk about sin or to dwell on being a sinner, but it’s reality. God knows who we are and we know who we are too. We can’t fool him or ourselves. We can’t hide from God and we shouldn’t try, but instead we ought to confess our sins to the Lord and then bask in his full and free and fantastic forgiveness! Pastor Hackmann and Strong chat about this chapter from Grace Abounds and how we can embrace the law, because it drives us to the One who kept the law for us and now it shows us how to live!! Jesus kept the law perfectly in our place, and now the law shines on our path and shows us how to live to thank him for his amazing love.
Jesus conquers spiritual blindness.
Despite the magnificence of the human mind and for all its achievements, we lack the ability to gain insights into the love of God. Jesus gave sign to a blind man to illustrate his power to heal spiritual blindness.
Prayer:
Almighty God, you sent your one and only Son as the Word of life for our eyes to see and our ears to hear. Help us believe what the Scriptures proclaim about him and do the things that are pleasing in your sight; through Jesus Christ, your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
Pastor Hackmann and Huebner discuss the new normal at Grace thanks to the coronavirus and celebrate technology, like podcasting to be able to stay connected to people. This week’s reading was on original sin and how it has impacted and every generation that has been born since the Fall. The original sin in the Garden of Eden, now means that the rest of the human race inherits sin from their parents and is born in hostility to the gospel. Even though sin is a stark reality for us, the fact that we are bound to sin and evil from birth, (and thus incapable of playing a part in our own salvation) makes Christ’s calling of us through the Means of Grace and his unconditional saving love that much more amazing! He knew how powerless and weak we were, and he still saved us!! All thanks be to our God!!

Jesus conquers spiritual thirst.
Parched and panting—that’s what we are without Jesus. Healthy on the outside by all appearances, but feeling the dry deadness of sin in our consciences. Jesus comes with the water of life, forgives our sins, and shows us a new life with him.
Prayer:
O God, in your love you have always shown mercy. Be gracious to all who have gone astray from your ways and bring them again with penitent hearts and steadfast faith to embrace and hold fast the unchangeable truth of your Word; through Jesus, Christ, your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
Pastors Huebner and Hackmann discuss the differences between March in Wisconsin and Alaska and share their excitement (though one of them might have been faking it) for the upcoming Iditarod Sled Dog Race. This week’s chapter is Chapter 6 – God’s Creating Activity. This chapter offers a review of the Creation of the World and how God still daily preserves the entire world, and especially the crown of his creation, mankind! “God does not concur with evil, but he normally won’t interrupt nature to prevent it either.” “God’s foreknowledge of evil doesn’t make him culpable for that evil,” “It’s not God’s fault (or the teacher’s) that Fritz failed out of Geometry!” and other truth gems await the reader of chapter 6 and the listener of this podcast!
Jesus Conquers Uncertainty
God’s plan to save the world overturns human intelligence and logic: How can the innocent death of one man overcome the deserved death of the human race? Can this be true? Can we stake our lives on this? Jesus conquers our doubts and compels our confidence.
Prayer:
Almighty God, you see that we have no power to defend ourselves. Guard and keep us both outwardly and inwardly from all adversities that may happen to the body and from all evil thoughts that may assault and hurt the soul; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

Jesus Conquers Satan.
The old evil foe means deadly woe. We know his power. Beginning with his confrontation in the wilderness and ending with his triumph on the cross, Jesus destroyed the devil’s power. We, too, will conquer!
Prayer:
Lord our strength, the battle of good and evil rages within and around us, and our ancient foe tempts us with his deceits and empty promises. Keep us steadfast in your Word, and when we fall, raise us up again and restore us through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
It’s not as easy as you think, to smoothly end a podcast episode. Here’s the story, Pastors Strong and Hackmann were so enamored with the glory of who our God is that they forgot how to end the show. Listen to this episode and praise our God who reveals himself to us in his holy Word. Explore the glory in everything that we know about our Triune God and then laugh with our pastors (not at them, please) as they look for a gentle way to “land” the episode.
Ash Wednesday: Remembering that We are Dust
Christians gather to begin the somber season of Lent – a 40 day period of repentance, reflection, and sorrow over sin. The name Ash Wednesday, comes from Genesis 3:19 and the reminder that we are given there about our sinful mortal state. After the Fall into sin, God declares to Adam and Eve: “By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return.” Mindful of our sinful state, our inability to please God and the fact that our sins caused Jesus’ passion, we come before God’s throne with heavy hearts to confess our sins. Yet, even on this day of sorrow, the light of the love of God shines forth to point us to the cross and the forgiving grace that flows from there!
Prayer:
Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on us! We don’t deserve your ear to hear us, your eyes to see us, your heart to consider us, yet, you do all these things and so much more. We praise you for your love and forgiveness. Helps us to never forget the lengths to which you went to save us. Keep us ever remembering, ever repenting of our sins, ever rejoicing in your love – for you, with the Father and the Holy Spirit are the one and only, our true and saving God! Amen.
Jesus appears in glory as the Son of God.
Shortly before he began his journey to Jerusalem to suffer and die, Jesus took three of his disciples to a high mountain and showed them the divine reality that existed within his humble appearance: the Suffering Servant is truly the Son of God. We see this same sight through the eyes of faith as we prepare to follow the Savior to the cross during Lent.
Prayer:
Lord God, before the suffering and death of your one and only Son, you revealed his glory on the holy mountain. Grant that we who bear his cross on earth may behold by faith the light of his heavenly glory and so be changed into his likeness; through Jesus Christ, your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
A gift is only worthwhile if it is used and used in the proper way. God’s Word is an enormous gift to mankind, yet it doesn’t come without God’s instructions on how to use it! In this latest episode, Pastors Huebner and Hackmann discuss the Proper Use of the Bible. Four rules of biblical interpretation are explored and put into practice. The discussion ends with the need for and purpose of creeds and confessions. This discussion on Grace Abounds chapter 4 rounds out the introductory chapters on the Word of God!
Live a holy life.
How does God want us to live? How do we define “obedience” from God’s point of view? Jesus has the answer.
Prayer:
Lord God, in mercy receive the prayers of your people. Grant them the wisdom to know the things that please you and the grace and power always to accomplish them; through Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
Pastors Hackmann and Huebner sit down to discuss chapter 3 of Grace Abounds and 4 characteristics of the Bible – that it is Inerrant, efficacious, sufficient, and clear. Ironically the podcast will be almost none of those things (hopefully still efficacious), because a setting was not properly enabled and the laptop microphone took over again! (Argh!!) We’ve tried our best to make it the best that we can. As you listen, you can ponder how much wildly better God is than Pastor Hackmann. He’ll get it right one of these weeks! Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for listening!!
Be salt and light.
How do we live our lives among the people we know and love? Jesus’ answer is critical for the happiness and contentment of others.
Prayer:
Almighty God, you sent your one and only Son as the Word of life for our eyes to see and our ears to hear. Help us believe what the Scriptures proclaim about him and do the things that are pleasing in your sight; through Jesus Christ, your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
The B-I-B-L-E is the topic of Chapter 2 of Grace Abounds. Pastors Hackmann and Strong chat about the importance of the Bible and how it is God’s revealing to us who he is, who we are, and how much he loves us. The doctrine of inspiration is discussed and how it is a guarantee for us that what we have before us in our home Bibles is clearly and truly the Word of God.
We are blessed as we live humbly with God.
How do we find genuine and lasting happiness and contentment? Jesus’ answers may surprise us.
Prayer:
Almighty and everlasting God, look with mercy on us in all our dangers and needs and stretch out the right hand of your majesty to help and defend us; through Jesus Christ, your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
By nature we ask questions that have supernatural or religious significance. We yearn to know: Why am I here? Where have I come from? Where has everything around me come from and why does it exist? Where am I going? What is the point and purpose of life, of joy, of suffering, of death? What happens after death? Is there a God out there? Am I acocuntable to him?...Religions exist to deal with and provide answers to these questions (page 4).
Why Doctrine? Why study doctrine? Why should we read a 560 page book on doctrine and then spend time talking about what we read? In his Word to us we can know his love for us!
God unveils his existence to us through what we might call "the natural knowledge of God." In the beauty, complexity and wonder of nature we can know that there is a God. In the fact that we have a conscience (and that every other has a conscience and it speaks to the same set of moral laws) we can know that there is something higher than us. And in the coming chapters we see God reveal himself to us in his Word.

Jesus is the Light amid the darkness.
The sensations of light and darkness are not as acute in our world as they were in a world which knew only torches and candles. We must imagine night without light. But the darkness of confusion, doubt, and sadness are real enough for us, and we rejoice with the ancients who saw Jesus as the Light of the world.
Sermon on Matthew 4:12-23 preached at Grace Ev. Lutheran Church by Pastor Aaron Strong.
Prayer:
Almighty God, you sent your Son to proclaim your kingdom and to teach with authority. Anoint us with the power of your Spirit that we, too, may bring good news to the afflicted, bind up the brokenhearted, and proclaim liberty to the captive; through Jesus Christ, your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

The Son of God Shows Us the Father
Do you want to know what God is like? Of course! Why else would you gather with fellow Christians for worship?

The Son reveals the Father to us.

Amen.
The Lord Preserved His Son to Redeem His People
The promise had been fulfilled! The Savior is born! But Satan was going to do everything possible to derail God's plan and rob us of the gift of God's love. Oh, the depths of the love of the heavenly Father that he countered the devil's wiles and will by preserving his Son to redeem us.

The King Is Coming: Recognize Who He Is
He asked his followers, “Who do people say I am?” Peter had it right, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.” There is no better way to prepare for Christmas in this Advent season that to sharpen our focus on the reason for the season—who the Messiah is and what he came to do.

Amen.

Rejoice in the Freedom of the Gospel
This is the truth: God forgives our sins for Jesus’ sake. This truth frees us from the impossible burden of trying to gain life with God on our own. In Christ we have freedom to live in joy and love one another.

"10 for 10"
People will invariably give beneath their ability when they fail to put the Bible’s teaching on firstfruits and proportionate giving into practice. Others give at their ability. This happens when people, confident in God’s blessing, prayerfully and thoughtfully practice firstfruits and proportional
giving. Finally, one can even give beyond their ability. That’s the case when God’s people step out in faith and give in a way that, humanly speaking, doesn’t add up.
Scripture tells us of people who, even in their poverty, opened up their hands and gave beyond their ability. They gave from the overflow of their hearts. How could they do this? They simply trusted in God’s unlimited ability to care for them.
These biblical accounts of heartfelt giving are another one of God’s blessings to us. May we hear them, be inspired by them, and—as God gives us opportunity—make them our own story!
Sermon on Mark 12:41-44 preached at Grace Ev. Lutheran Church by Pastor Aaron Strong.
Prayer:
Gracious God, all that I have comes from you: my body and mind, my strength and intelligence, my time and abilities, my energy and possessions. Guard me from the temptation to use these gifts only for my personal benefit. Make me willing to use them joyfully in service to you and to your people. Amen.
One final bit of wisdom before we close out our Bible Reading Challenge year...the book of Job aims to take down every last resistance to faith and a living love for God, resistance that often comes when we suffer and "need" answers. How to respond to suffering? How to speak to others when they are crying out? This book serves as a powerful statement to let God be God and go long in his love.
Next up: At Grace we'll be using two books for our spiritual growth, Prepared to Answer by Prof. Mark Paustian and Grace Abounds by Prof. em. Daniel Deutschlander. Check out www.gracedowntown.org and the "Learn and Grow" section for PDF schedules, Bible classes and more podcasts!
"10 for 10"
This weekend, the Lord will open our minds to consider the magnitude of his blessings. Each of us has been blessed in different ways and at various levels. What should our thoughtful, prayerful response be to these blessings? That’s where the Bible’s teaching about proportionate giving is such a help. For some families with fewer resources, the practice of giving 10% of their income might be a significant leap of faith. For other families with more resources, the practice of giving 10% may be a starting point for faith-filled giving.
St. Paul wrote to the Christians in Corinth, “On the first day of every week, each one of you should set aside a sum of money in keeping with your income, saving it up, so that when I come no collections will have to be made” (1 Corinthians 16:2). Christians are blessed as they put God’s principles of proportionate giving into practice!
Sermon on Matthew 25:14-30 preached at Grace Ev. Lutheran Church by Pastor Daniel Bondow.
Prayer:
Dear Father, you have given me so much more than I can ever return to you. Give me the wisdom I need to respond to your love thoughtfully. Strengthen my will to thankfully dedicate all that I am and have to your glory. I ask this in the name of the One who lived and died for me, Jesus Christ, your Son, my Lord. Amen.
Don't be afraid - both of the book of Revelation, but also because of its core message. Through terrifying sights and terrific sounds, incredible imagery and poetry in song, Revelation is a masterpiece of apocalyptic literature in which Jesus triumphantly shouts - "Hang in there, I've got this!" We discuss some helpful ways to outline and interpret this special book of Scripture that its purpose might not be lost on us and we be left in despair because of the threats of the world around us. Ultimately, we are not abandoned, but hear the reassuring promise of our Lord, "Yes, I am coming soon."
"10 for 10"
Today we begin a three-week stewardship emphasis to lead us toward giving ten percent of our income for ten weeks. The word stewardship is often regarded as a dirty word—a gimmick to get people to dig deeper and “give ’til it hurts.” Nothing could be further from the truth! Instead, stewardship is a precious word that sums up the Christian life. It encourages us to be who we truly are in Christ: Precious people who have been richly blessed by a Father who knows how to give good gifts to his children!
Sermon on Haggai 1:1-11 preached at Grace Ev. Lutheran Church by Pastor Brian Hackmann.
Prayer:
O Lord, giver of life and source of all love, we know that all we have received comes from your gracious hand. Help us to always use your gifts wisely and teach us to share them generously. Send your Holy Spirit to work through us, that many more might come to know the saving riches of your Son. May our faithful stewardship bear witness to the love of your Son in our hearts, through Jesus Christ, your Son, our Lord. Amen.
Keep Christ Jesus as Life’s Highest Priority. The Christian life is all about setting priorities. Faith asks: what is most important in my walk with God? Faith answers: To make God and his message the highest priority of life.
Sermon on Luke 14:25-35, preached at Grace Ev. Lutheran Church by Pastor Brian Hackmann.
O merciful Lord, you did not spare your only Son but delivered him up for us all. Grant us courage and strength to take up the cross and follow him, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
At the right place and the right time, God used a cupbearer to King Artaxerxes to lead a remnant of his people back into his grace. We get to relive this wonderful history and breathtaking book where persecution is met with perseverance and tired, weak arms find their strength in the Lord and his faithfulness. Nehemiah may be the name of the book, but the ultimate goal of this story shows a different main Character and praises the Lord of full and free grace to sinners. With such a Savior, we delight to see the storied examples of joyful worship, selfless service and undying courage in the pages of this book. The Lord encourage us all to imitate their fruits of faith as blesses the work of our hands and fuels us with his faithful love.
Seek the way of humility.Arrogance is a cancer that eats away at our relationship with God and our friends and neighbors. Faith grasps the danger of arrogance and strives to live in humility.
Sermon on James 2:1-13, preached at Grace Ev. Lutheran Church by Pastor James Huebner.
O Lord of grace and mercy, teach us by your Holy Spirit to follow the example of your Son in true humility, that we may withstand the temptations of the devil and with pure hearts and minds avoid ungodly pride; through Jesus Christ, your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
The Door to Heaven Is Narrow.Who will enter the gate that leads to eternal life with God? Jesus’ followers believe that only faith in their Savior will enable them to enter heaven. They also understand that many will be surprised and horrified at the end of time.
Sermon on Luke 13:22-30 preached at Grace Ev. Lutheran Church by Pastor Aaron Strong.
Almighty and everlasting God, give us an increase of faith, hope, and love; and, that we may obtain what you promise, make us love what you command; through Jesus Christ, your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
...Grace Bible Study Days! What a thrill! These congregational growth nights of August mark a special time of year for our faith family. Listen in for a recap of the sessions offered, and to hear about some of the great blessings that come from an evening together in the Word in such a format. If you didn't make it this year, see you next August!
History-lovers, look no further: it's time to read the book of Daniel. God certainly equipped his people with foresight through the specific prophecies given to Daniel. The point is clear - hard days are ahead, but the Lord's eternal kingdom endures and an eternal inheritance is ours through his Anointed One. After some chit-chat, we're ready to soak in the bold comfort of God's presence in our world for his purpose of saving us all. We'll cover some context and the outline for this great book with the goal of growing in our Savior's love and the peace he alone gives in the midst of spiritual danger and turmoil.

Opposition to Christ Can Come Our Way. No one enjoys opposition to what they believe. No one usually looks forward to receiving flack. But the reality is that opposition to what we believe and know to be true from Holy Scripture will come. How do we handle that? God’s word and promise shift our attitude from fear of opposition to the recognition that we are blessed when we face opposition because through it our trust in the Lord Jesus is deepened.
Sermon on Hebrews 12:1-13 preached at Grace Ev. Lutheran Church by Pastor Brian Hackmann.
Almighty and merciful God, it is only by your gift of grace that we come into your presence and offer true and faithful service. Grant that our worship on earth may always be pleasing to you, and in the life to come give us the fulfillment of what you have promised; through Jesus Christ, your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
Hold on to the promises of God. Life is full of surprises, some good and some bad. We place our lives in the hands of the man who stilled the waters, Jesus our Lord, knowing that he always has out eternal interest in mind.
Sermon on Hebrews 11:1-3, 8-16 preached at Grace Ev. Lutheran Church by Pastor James Huebner.
Almighty and everlasting God, you are always more ready to hear than we to pray, and to give more than we either desire or deserve. Pour upon us the abundance of your mercy, forgiving us those things of which our conscience is afraid, and giving us those good things for which we are not worthy to ask, except through the merits and mediation of your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
Earthly wealth is passing. Where to find true happiness? Would you agree that many look for happiness in the material things of this world? Have you been down that road? The readings for our worship today remind us that everything of this world, including our money, is passing away. Seek the one treasure that will endure, and find it in Jesus who gives us the treasure of eternal life that can never perish, spoil, or fade.
Sermon on Colossians 3:1-11 preached at Grace Ev. Lutheran Church by Pastor Daniel Bondow.
O Lord, grant us wisdom to recognize the treasures you have stored up for us in heaven that we may never despair but always rejoice and be thankful for the riches of your grace; through Jesus Christ, your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
Different Gospel writer, but same gospel message. Listen in for discussion of a new Bible, some audio Bibles and the Gospel of John. This Gospel has a unique perspective of the life of Jesus (different from the "Synoptic Gospels" of Matthew, Mark, and Luke). He offers his readers (Jews and Gentiles = you!) many memorable statements and unique stories that showcase Christ's saving love and work in the face of opposition and rejection. John helps us know that his words are God's words and are "written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name" (see John 20).

The Word of God is the one thing needful. Life is full of distractions, but followers of Jesus know how to balance busy lives with time spent in the Word, the source of life.
Sermon on Genesis 18:1-14 preached at Grace Ev. Lutheran Church by Pastor Daniel Bondow.
Almighty God, we thank you for planting in us the seed of your Word. By your Holy Spirit help us to receive it with joy and to bring forth fruits in faith and hope and love; through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

God of all power and might, you are the giver of all that is good. Help us love you with all our heart, strengthen us in true faith, provide us with all we need, and keep us safe in your care;

Jesus promises to provide for his witnesses. When he calls his people to share the good news of forgiveness, he doesn’t send them out alone. He provides all they need as his children and witnesses.
Sermon on 1 Peter 5:1-4 preached at Grace Ev. Lutheran Church by Pastor Jim Huebner.
Almighty God, You have built your church on the foundation of the apostles and prophets with Christ Jesus himself as the cornerstone. Continue to send your messengers to preserve your people in true peace, that, by the preaching of your Word, your Church may be kept free from all harm and danger; through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
Pastor Brian Hackmann reminds us of his great cookie challenge as he tries to get to know names and faces at Grace. Our book this week is James, which gives us a refreshing call to repent and stay humble in our walk with the Lord. The historical context and setting greatly assist us in how we interpret the words of this letter and remind us how important a message this book is for both new and mature Christians today.

Jesus has called us to be his witnesses in the world. By faith we accept his commission and make it our highest priority. In this section from 2 Corinthians 11, the apostle Paul talks about giving up everything to share the power of the gospel with others.
Sermon on 2 Corinthians 11:21b-30 preached at Grace Ev. Lutheran Church by Pastor Aaron Strong.
Pastor Aaron Strong joins in as we talk about Jeremiah, the book and the prophet. This book is the longest of the Old Testament, which allows us to take a deep dive with Jeremiah into his life as God's servant. We see what the ministry of the Word meant over the course of many years, several Judean kings and tons of adversity. Jeremiah, the sinner-saint, is on full display that God's enduring love and strength would be revealed to us and fashioned also in us.
To Testify to the Power of God: Faith is always active, never passive. When we view God’s power and love through the eyes of faith, we are compelled to share the story.
Sermon on Luke 8:26-39 preached at Grace Ev. Lutheran Church by Pastor Brian Hackmann.
The special guest has a special ministry anniversary approaching this summer, and what a better way to prime the pump than with a ministry-encouraging letter like 2 Corinthians. Don't regard servants of the Word by what you see, understand the many contrasts at play that emphasize gospel glory in jars of clay, hand-written letters from God's representatives, and love that comes from and is compelled by Christ. This list goes on as we work to stand firm in Christ and bear the rich fruits of his grace in our lives.

The true God, the Lord, reveals himself to the world as the Triune God: One God in three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Although we cannot fathom or understand this truth, we believe
what God tells us and praise the God who created us, redeemed us, and calls us to be his own through faith. Our triune God gives us peace.
Sermon on Numbers 6:22-27 preached at Grace Ev. Lutheran Church by Pastor Daniel Bondow.
On the Day of Pentecost Jesus authorized and empowered his followers to proclaim the good news to all the world. In a different way from that first Pentecost and with different miracles, the Holy Spirit still moves the Church to carry out its mission on earth. In John 14, Jesus promises to send the Holy Spirit to teach us all things.

“People will come from east and west and north and south and will take their places at the feast in the kingdom of God.” This is Jesus’ promise. In it we find joy and purpose. Jesus died and rose to forgive the sins of everyone, and all those across ages and miles who believe in him are united with God and with all other believers on earth and in heaven. In John 17, Jesus prays for the unity of his people.

Even for believers, life on earth is hard. Although we find Jesus in his Word and sacraments, we often wish he could be present with us in person so we might see his smile and feel his touch. Jesus understands and points his followers of all time to the day when we will join him in heaven forever. But we find joy with Jesus even now, as St. Paul did when he witnessed the faith of a new follower of Christ. We long for the day of complete joy, but we rejoice in the joys Jesus brings every day.

It features elegant poetry with an unparalleled look at God's Servant, the ultimate Redeemer.

Jesus’ Disciples Are Known by Their Love
In suffering and dying for our sins, Jesus established the ultimate definition of love: the attitude of the heart, mind, and will that gives freely and faithfully even to those who do not deserve to be loved. The love of Jesus we call grace. On the night before he died, Jesus called on believers of all time to imitate his love: “As I have loved you,” he said, “so you must love one another.” In Acts 11, God teaches Peter the special nature of his love for all people.
Sermon on Acts 11:1-18 preached at Grace Ev. Lutheran Church by Pastor Daniel Bondow.
What was Hosea’s first day on the job as prophet to Israel like? Finding a wife who would, according to the Lord’s own decree, cheat on him, have an affair with another man or men, and even bear children as the result of this adultery! Could he forgive her for this? Could God?
In the 14 chapters of his dealings with the people of Israel, the prophet Hosea condemns the sins of the Israelites no less than 150 times, and over half of those target their adultery against the Lord as pictured by the adultery of Hosea’s wife. As we apply this spiritual adultery to ourselves, we rejoice that God remains his unchanging, faithful self, calling us to know his forgiveness.
Sermon on Acts 9:1-22 preached at Grace Ev. Lutheran Church by Pastor Jim Huebner.
Whether in sight or by faith, the loving face and gentle smile of Jesus brings joy and power to his people. In Acts 9, Jesus appears to the apostle Paul and leads him to believe. His power to give sight, wash away sins and to give his Holy Spirit equip Paul to be his missionary.
Trying to imagine a strange, dirty, wild-eyed shepherd from Tekoa barge into the marbled palace of the king of Israel with something to say may seem ridiculous, but the message he brought wasn't meant to be funny. Spiritual complacency, social indifference and abuse, and hypocrisy in the heart...these are no laughing matters. We need the warnings of Amos today so that outward prosperity might not become the downfall of true treasure in the Lord...that the best of times might not be in truth the worst of times.

Sermon on Luke 20:9-19 preached at Grace Ev. Lutheran Church by Pastor Daniel Bondow.
The contrast is striking: The Savior’s own people reject him and still he reaches out to them in patience and love. God’s grace does not change despite the reaction of his creatures. He loves
us to the end. Like a father, he warns us not to leave him; as his children, we strive to hold to
his blessings. This parable of the tenants from Luke 20 is a crushing account from our closest ally.
Sermon on Isaiah 12:1-6 preached at Grace Ev. Lutheran Church by Pastor Aaron Strong.
Jesus embraces us with undeserved love. No matter where we’ve been and what we’ve done, our Savior seeks us and accepts us in this love. The same holds true for all times and places as Isaiah also heartens his hearers with the truth that God is full of compassion.
1 Timothy may be a personal letter, but it has much to day to Christians, congregations, and church leaders. In the big picture, God has called us to pursue wonderful goals as his dearly loved people and we have many opportunities to reflect his grace through Jesus in the way we devote ourselves to what is important and to each other. At the center of it all is a most beautiful hymn of praise to God in Christ.

Sermon on Exodus 3:1-15 preached at Grace Ev. Lutheran Church by Pastor Jim Huebner.
Jesus came to our world with a deep love for sinners, but his patience with disobedience eventually wears thin. As we explore the Lord’s relationship with his Old Testament people, the Spirit urges us to put sin behind us and turn to Christ in faith, for he loves to forgive. In Exodus 3, God reveals himself to Moses and calls Moses to rescue God's people.
God, whose glory it is always to have mercy, be gracious to all who have gone astray from
your ways and bring them again with penitent hearts and steadfast faith to embrace and hold
fast the unchangeable truth of your Word; through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
The Song of Solomon may not be the book of the Bible used the most, but it involves a dramatic telling of the depth that is present in Christian marriage. Listen in not only to consider the meaning of this special Song of Scripture, but also how to make use of it.

Apologies for the audio quality. We are aware of what caused the "double sound" feedback and hopefully it won't happen again. =)
Bible Reading Challenge, Year 1, Episode 22
Sermon on Philippians 3:17-4:1 preached at Grace Ev. Lutheran Church by Pastor Daniel Bondow.
The Lord Jesus was not deterred from his march to the cross by danger and rejection. He was determined to save the world from sin—even those who despised and rejected him. Jesus gives us his example and encouragement as we face opposition in our world today. In this section from Philippians, we see how the apostle Paul urged believers stand firm in the Lord in the face of opposition.
Listen as Pastor Bondow and guest Drew Carter, Staff Minister at Grace, discuss the timeless tone, topics and goals of Paul's letter called 1 Thessalonians. The apostle Paul emphasizes a number of peculiar gifts we enjoy by God's grace - a faith assimilation into a larger body of believers in Christ, connectivity that features a mutual longing for one another and desire to encourage and build others up. This "model congregation" is urged to do more and more, and especially considering the hope we have in the face of death and the Last Day.
"What is the point?" Rather than just being a repeated and frequent question that comes up when you read Ecclesiastes, this book helps you learn that this question is a crucial stepping stone to getting an answer. Ecclesiastes is a cleanser that will de-clutter your life and bring a relationship with God into vital - all or nothing - focus. And don't forget - "it's a wonderful, beautiful, horsey day."
The book of Proverbs is more than just a collection of sayings that sound smart; it's an entire way of life that draws on God's love and trusts in him. Don't be fooled by a superficial reading of its content. This is another chance to be caught up in God's goodness and the blessings he has in mind in all settings of our lives.
Sermon on Luke 9:28-36 preached at Grace Ev. Lutheran Church by Pastor Daniel Bondow.
Then and now, the road to the cross is difficult and treacherous. Jesus prepared three of his followers for the journey to Calvary by enabling them to see some of the brilliance of his divine
majesty and to hear the witness of two Old Testament prophets. The disciples didn’t grasp what they saw and heard, but we understand the significance of the transfiguration and are
strengthened as we begin our walk through the rigors of Lent. What happened that day on the mountaintop counsels us on the way of the cross.
Pastors Bondow and Strong consider the kings and prophets at play in the book of 1 Kings. Also, how is reading a long book like this similar to enduring a long winter? Bonus: why some Bible names are so great for our kids. Thanks for listening and God bless your Bible reading!
Sermon on Luke 6:27-38 preached at Grace Ev. Lutheran Church by Pastor Aaron Strong.
Life with a forgiving Savior ha an impact on our lives with others, even those who make our lives difficult and unhappy. Our everyday prayer is that Jesus would use his love to move us to love one another. In Luke 6, Jesus teaches us to be merciful, just as our heavenly Father is merciful.
Heavenly Father, keep your family continually in true faith, so that those who rely only on the hope of your heavenly grace may be protected by your mighty power, through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
Pastor Huebner returns as guest as we review Paul's letter to the Romans and what it has meant to readers past and present, giving us many favorite passages (like Wanda's). Don't be intimidated by the depth of this book. Paul poses hard question after question in a way that helps you see God's perfect answers to all our challenges. God's message through Christ gets to the heart of what matters most and sets you free to live in faith's clarity and to demonstrate God's love.
Sermon on Luke 5:1-11 preached at Grace Ev. Lutheran Church by Pastor Daniel Bondow.
Jesus came to our world to proclaim the good news of forgiveness that he would gain by his perfect life and innocent death. In his amazing wisdom and love, he called his followers to carry the gospel of forgiveness to all the world. Whether as individuals or as members of the public ministry, we share the message of Jesus’ love wherever we go. Here in Luke 5, through grace and power, Jesus calls Peter into his service to fish for people.
Sermon on Jeremiah 1:4-10 preached at Grace Ev. Lutheran Church by Pastor James Huebner.
Bad news is not only crime, poverty, disease, and inequality. These spring from the real bad news: sin, guilt, judgment, and death. Only the gospel can attack and destroy the world’s greatest problems, and the gospel is revealed in the words and works of Christ. Here in Jeremiah 1, the Lord called Jeremiah to proclaim law and gospel to destroy the devil's lies and give us confidence in our Savior-God in life and in death.
Sermon on Isaiah 61:1-6 preached at Grace Ev. Lutheran Church by Pastor Aaron Strong. Through the pen of the prophet Isaiah the eternal Son proclaimed his mission. What God promised in the Old Testament he fulfilled in the coming of Jesus. What he promises to us is as
certain as his Word, for his promises are based on the completed work of Christ.
Pastor Strong joins in on the fun as we consider the incredible lessons and encouragement from the book of Acts. Even having the conversation is an inspiration to continue to share the Word and get the good news out. The risen Jesus is on the move - through little people like us, even despite us, and in the face of opposition in every chapter. Let this book spur you on to be a part of the special work of witnessing to others.
Sermon on John 2:1-11 preached at Grace Ev. Lutheran Church by Pastor James Huebner. The glory of Christ strengthens believers.
