The Wittenberg Trail (WT) represents the ancient Church for a post-modern world. The WT also provides a solid foundation for the shifting sands of post-modernism and a refuge from the ahistorical, non-creedal, shallow and commercial trends in today’s "pop church" culture.
The WT is a Christ-Centered, Law and Gospel focused, Confessional Pan- Lutheran Social Network.Visit The Wittenberg Trail

Stewardship: Romans 5:1-8: People who have recovered from life-threatening illnesses or injuries often respond with renewed lives of love, joy, peace and generosity. How much more should we who have been rescued from the greater threat of eternal condemnation and death live the rest of our days with love, joy, peace and generosity as God’s stewards!

Stewardship in Romans 4:1-8; 13-17: Abraham was not saved by his good works but by his faith in the promises of God. That faith enabled him to manage all of life and life’s resources for God’s purposes. May God grant that that we become the same kind of faithful and generous stewards.
Life Quote for February 17 "Innocent life taken for political expediency—does this sound familiar? We dally with such devaluation today, in embryonic-stem-cell research, abortion, euthanasia, terrorism—all treated as justifiable to relativists. How unseemly, how grotesque, that the devaluation of human life now runs under the banner of ‘choice.’ The question is not whether but what you choose. Among the choices, the hardest path is the road of the cross, following the example of Jesus. Yet if that stony, stumbling course is the hardest, it is also the best." The Patriot Post.

Singing the Songs of
In our mid-week services, we will focus on the theme "Singing the Songs of Zion," with sermon ideas by Old Testament professor, Dr. Reed Lessing, from Concordia Seminary,
This Week! Holding a Grudge or Extending Grace -- that's the theme of our Mid-Week Lenten Service, Wednesday, February 13, 7 p.m. In Genesis 50, we read of the incredible story of Joseph, whose brothers "intended to harm [him], but God intended it for good; to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives" (Genesis 50:20). How did God work in the life of Jesus in an even greater way? Join us as our "Singing the Songs of Zion" series continues!

ANNOUNCEMENTS
Stewardship Message: Romans 5:12-19: Our Epistle reading tells us that Jesus came in human form to rescue us from sin and death and empower us to live as God’s children. As children of God we love and live and give freely and generously to bring honor to God, support for the work of the church and blessings for people around us.
Life Quote: "We have been redeemed not merely with silver and gold but with the ‘precious blood of Christ’ (1 Peter 1:19). Our worth is not determined on the basis of what we can do, or how we look, or how smart we are. It is based on . . . what God has done for us. God loves us notwithstanding our diseases, handicaps, and sin. Christ never shrank from reaching out to the blind, the lame, or the leper—and neither should we." Center for a Just Society.

Life Quote for Transfiguration Sunday: "The superior position, surely, is that human beings possess equally an intrinsic dignity that is the moral ground of the equal right to life of all . . . It does not depend on an individual’s age, or size, or stage of development; nor can it be erased by an individual’s physical or mental infirmity or condition of dependency." Robert P. George, McCormick Professor of Jurisprudence at Princeton University, addressing the issue of "personhood." A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life / www.lutheransforlife.org / 888-364-LIFE
Stewardship Thought: 2 Peter 1:16-21: Who are God’s modern-day wise stewards? They are the people of God who by faith cling to a risen and triumphant Savior and joyfully give of their lives and resources to support God’s mission.
