Emanuel Lutheran Tiger Talk

Generally, our actions are shaped by our beliefs. People who eat low-carb diets do so, probably not because they hate pasta, but because they believe it is healthiest. If a man buys stock in a company, it probably is because he believes in their business plan. Our beliefs shape our behavior. This is true of Christians’ belief in the resurrection. We believe that Christ’s resurrection means our resurrection to a glorious eternal life is guaranteed. That inevitably shapes how we will act now. However, it is not simply the facts of the resurrection that shape our behavior. It is the person of the resurrection. Jesus is not some wise, dead sage whose advice is contained in dusty books. Jesus lives! Therefore, through His Word, he is able to work on our minds and hearts, molding them to his perfect will. Here is a resurrection reality. Jesus fills us with his Spirit, not only so that we have faith, but also so that we produce the fruits of faith he seeks. Want to hear more? See you this wee

Mr. Luke Zeamer has accepted our Divine Call to serve as Emanuel’s fourth-grade teacher. He currently serves at Our Savior’s Lutheran School in Peridot, AZ. Please keep Mr. Zeamer and his family in your prayers as they transition to Wisconsin. Mr. Chris Luebke, our upper-grade math and 8th-grade homeroom teacher and vice principal, continues to deliberate the Call extended to him to teach high school math at Kingdom Prep Lutheran High School in Wauwatosa, WI. His wife, Katie, who teaches math at FVL, also received a Call to teach math at Kingdom Prep. We pray that God leads them to a decision that brings them peace and benefits his kingdom.
