- By Brenda Winter, columnistJune 04, 2019Brenda Winter is working with the Rock the Edge “Service Over Self” mission week project this week and prepared this devotion to present to the participants. The devotion is based on 2 Corinthians 1:3-7. Those of us on Team 12 spent the past two days doing housework and yard work for an older widow. Her husband died suddenly last fall. The day that he died, she went out to the garage to tell…
- By Alex Chediak, guest contributorMay 28, 2019“Choose this day whom you will serve.”(Joshua 24:15) High school graduation is a rite of passage unlike any other. You move from being treated like a child (legally) to being counted an adult, both in society and in any academic setting you might enter. Childhood is over. Adulthood beckons. How should you respond to the blessing and challenge? 1. Own your faith. If you come from a Christian home…

- By Walt Moser, First Baptist Church, LuverneMay 21, 2019Life seems to throw us curve balls once in a while. You have heard people say difficulties make us stronger, but is that really true? Do we really believe it? Next time you face a difficult situation, consider several possibilities of what God might be doing in your life through the difficulty. He might be helping you see the strength of your faith. “In this you greatly rejoice, even though…

- By Ron Nichols, Grace Lutheran Church, LuverneMay 14, 2019“In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good worksand give glory to your Father in heaven.” (Matthew 5:16) I will never completely understand why God uses you and me as the primary examples of His good grace and mercy. Well, Jesus is the primary example but you and I are next in line. After all, we are merely human. We are not at our best every moment of…

- By Pastor Jason CunninghamMay 07, 2019If you read John 20 and 21, the last two chapters of the Gospel of John slowly and carefully, you are struck by how long he lingers over resurrection. He’s not content to tell and move on. John loves to recount the appearances of the risen Christ to his followers and disciples. Several years ago I even read an article that delved into this topic. It was called “Easter in Excess?” The author noted…

- By Rev. Dr. Matthew Harrison, President, Lutheran Church Missouri SynodApril 09, 2019It was the most important week in history. Jesus was rejected, condemned, nailed to a tree and died. He rose from the dead and appeared to a number of men and women. They heard Him speak, they touched His body, they saw the wounds left by the crucifixion. They believed God raised Him from the dead. One of them wrote, “These things are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son…

- By Rev. Maggie Berndt-Dreyer, Bethlehem Lutheran Church, HillsAugust 29, 2017The story of Jesus’ encounter with the Canaanite woman on the border of the regions of Tyre and Sidon found in Matthew 15:21-28 came up as the story to be read in church a couple of weeks ago for those churches that use the Revised Common Lectionary.
