Life Quote: “Real life is only possible in this world if we know and believe in a real presence, the real, bodily presence of Christ, sent by the Father into our world to reach out His hand—the hand of God—to heal those who are broken by sin—to hold a little child and bless it—to stretch it out on a cross to receive a nail for our redemption.” Rev. Dr. Arthur A. Just, Jr., Professor of Exegetical Theology, Dean of the Chapel, and Director of Deaconess Studies at Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne, Indiana. A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life / www.lutheransforlife.org / 888-364-LIFE
Stewardship in Romans 11:33-12:8: St. Paul ended today’s Epistle reading by encouraging us to use our gifts (serving, teaching, encouraging, contributing, leadership and mercy) in a very deliberate and intentional way. We show that our faith is alive by our sacrificial deeds of kindness to the glory of God and the welfare of our fellow human beings.

Life Quote for Today: “Jesus’ compassionate touch and protective hands are for all people, regardless of size and importance in this world. In fact, He is especially compassionate and protective of those who are on the bottom of the social ladder—children, lepers, tax collectors, prostitutes, and sinners. He welcomes the helpless, the hurting, those most likely to be trampled, and those who can bring Him nothing in return. No one is too small or insignificant to be blessed by Jesus’ hands.” Rev. Dr. Glenn A. Nielsen, Professor, Director of Vicarage, Concordia Seminary, St. Louis. A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life / www.lutheransforlife.org / 888-364-LIFE
Stewardship: Romans 11:1-2, 13-15, 28-32: Because of God’s mercy we, like St. Paul, are made new as God’s children. As God’s children we are redeemed to be his disciples, his stewards, who do the right things for the right reasons, whether it is in giving, encouraging and helping. These are marks of God’s stewards.

Quote for Life: “Christ chose death over life, and then, in reversing the curse, brought life and immortality to life through His resurrection. Christ’s mercy extends from His suffering cross into our suffering homes and hospitals, where He gives life because He chose death for us.” Rev. Dr. Arthur A. Just, Jr., Professor of Exegetical Theology, Dean of the Chapel, and Director of Deaconess Studies at Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne, Indiana. A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life / www.lutheransforlife.org / 888-364-LIFE
Stewardship in Romans 10:5-17: In Romans 10 Paul strongly makes the point that we can never gain salvation by our good works. Our salvation is a gift from God who loved us so much that He gave His only-begotten Son for our salvation. Therefore, the good works of stewardship that we do are done not to be saved, but as our fitting response to being saved by God’s grace.
There will be adult bible class following worship today in the church basement.

Life Quote: “This Church, under the Gospel and for the sake of the Gospel, has the duty to spare, to the best of its abilities, the lives of all people . . . To the extent, then, that the Church wittingly falls prey to policies that support the “black genocide [abortion],” we act contrary to nature of the communion into which we have been drawn and we bar—albeit unwittingly—from the means of grace those whom God would save. Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy upon us, poor sinners!” Rev. Everette E. Greene, pastor at Immanuel Lutheran Church, Cincinnati, Ohio. A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life / www.lutheransforlife.org / 888-364-LIFE
Stewardship in Romans 9:1-13: St. Paul was saddened by the unbelief of the Jews who had every advantage as the chosen people of God. It is very difficult to see people we know and love who do not believe in Christ. That encourages us to use our time and money to support the mission of our church to reach the spiritually lost in our families, our communities and throughout the world.
