guarded
Because of Christ, we have an everlasting inheritance. We can trust Him to keep it for us, and to guard us until we receive it in full. As we face all kinds of trials, let us look to Him for comfort, and for reasons to rejoice. We are His body, the communion of saints. Sometimes danger comes to us, and we must signal the alarm and lean on the body of Christ as we suffer. As we receive His help, we also look for ways to pass on that help to others who are under attack. And together, we look forward to that day when we receive in full all that He has promised.
Listen to Sunday's sermon here.

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God’s power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the end result of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
1 Peter 1:3-9

URGENT NEED: Spring Tornado Relief
On April 27, in what the National Weather Service called a “tragically
historic day of tornadic activity and severe weather,” hundreds of tornadoes
ripped across the South, killing more than 290 people, demolishing homes
and destroying belongings.
Alabama and Mississippi suffered the most. “There are hardly words to
describe the damage,” said Rev. Glenn Merritt, director of Disaster Response
with LCMS World Relief and Human Care (WR-HC). In Cullman, Ala., St.
Paul’s Lutheran Church and its accompanying school experienced extensive
damage.
As assessment of need continues, the LCMS stands ready to assist, bringing
“mercy and reassurance to our members, districts and congregations,” says
Merritt.

and shelter as well as the comfort and consolation of the Gospel. Please join

Easter Sermons
Was it necessary?
Was all that suffering, violence and death really necessary?
YES, and by this action that seems weak to the world, Jesus "cut open the belly of death!"
Listen to Pastor Cook's Easter Sunrise sermon here.
Go quickly
Jesus died and rose again, and His children go quickly to share the good news. With our own eyes we shall see Him again, because He conquered death and the grave for us! Even now, He meets us "on the road," through Word and Sacrament. He is risen indeed!
