Bible Study: We are Worldly Widows yet Heavenly Brides | Mark 12:38–44 | The Widow's Offering

You may be someone in this world or no one. You may be rich or poor. You may be loved or despised. But Jesus sees in you what the world cannot see: His Bride. And so, for you He has come. For you He has seated His body and blood on this altar.
To give you what you do not have, cleanse you, and betroth you to Himself once again. Each time His holy body is placed into your mouth and His holy blood is poured over your lips, you hear His loving, self- sacrificing “I do.” I do love you. 
I do forgive you. I do take you. And you know what? That makes you, in the midst of this world of abundance, the richest ones of all. You are rich in faith, rich in hope and rich in love. To give as you have been given to, and to live not in fear, but to be who you are: no longer a widow, but a dearly loved Bride for all eternity.-----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.

Sermon: Jesus Already Voted…for You! | Matthew 5:1-12 | The Sermon on the Mount

There has been a big push for early voting this year. If you haven’t voted yet, remember that election day is this Tuesday. When someone votes it’s a way of choosing who they want as a leader. As of today, we don’t know who the majority of “we the people” want as the president of the United States. In the kingdom of God, however, there is no question about who our Lord wants as His people. There is no doubt concerning the outcome of His election. It is already done. Jesus already voted…for you. You are His elect, those who are blessed from before the creation of the world.-----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.

Sermon: The Monster of Uncertainty | Romans 3:19-28 | The Righteousness of God Through Faith

What makes you afraid? Perhaps you are afraid of the results of the upcoming elections. Perhaps you are afraid of an upcoming medical procedure. Perhaps you are afraid of where you will spend eternity. Perhaps you wonder if your sins are too great to enter into heaven. None of these need to make us afraid. 
Why not? Because we know that God is our fortress. We know that He is our strength. We know that we are justified by grace through faith in Jesus Christ apart from the works of the Law. God is by our side upon the plain with His good gifts and Spirit. If he keeps us safe from our own sin, from death, and from hell, how much more will he take care of us in this life and in the life to come? 
So, no matter what happens, we need not be afraid of the monster of uncertainty in our life! The Lord of hosts is with us! The God of Jacob is our fortress!-----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.

Sermon: Easier Said Than Done | Mark 10:23–31 | The Rich Young Man

The phrase, “Easier said than done” is said of a task that is easier to talk about than to do. We’ve been talking about the task of salvation. Last week we heard how the rich young ruler talked about how he had followed the commandments and how Jesus had exposed the fact that he didn’t actually do them. 
Clearly the commandments are easier said than done. Today, Jesus takes it even further when He says, “It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.” This leads the disciples to ask, “Then who can be saved?” Jesus looked at them and said, “With man it is impossible, but not with God. For all things are possible with God.” Only God can save us and that is what He does in Christ. For with Jesus word and deed are one and the same. In other words, what Jesus says is done every time.-----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.
