November 19, 2023. Divine Service. 8 A.M. | Matthew 25:14-30 | The Parable of the Talents

Putting Jesus in the center of your life effects how you live. It puts into perspective both our promised eternal life, and our life here and now, that your Father wants you to enjoy. Not in fear or in captivity to sin, but in love and freedom from sin. To live in His image. Not to get anything from God. He’s already given you all things. But because your neighbor needs you to show them His love and care and forgiveness. Not because you have to, but because that’s who you are. You are a child of God with His Spirit working in you. And then when your brother Jesus returns, you will meet Him and enter into the joy that you have already begun to receive here. The joy of His forgiveness. The joy of His love. The joy of His freedom. The joy you enter into as your Savior comes to you already now in His Supper to give you Himself, to give you the forgiveness and life and faith you need. And this we joyfully proclaim until our waiting is over and He does come. ----- Trinity Lutheran Church, School and Child Care have been "Making Known the Love of Christ" in Sheboygan, Wisconsin and throughout the world since 1853 as a congregation gathering around God's Word and Sacraments to receive forgiveness and life everlasting.
