Emanuel Lutheran Tiger Talk

“It will get better.” We say that to try to comfort someone who is having a bad day (or maybe a whole string of bad days). Perhaps tomorrow will be better. But perhaps it’s worse. In this life, there really are no guarantees that things will get better. That isn’t the case with the life that is to come. That life isn’t just going to be better. It will be perfect. Since the seventh century, Christians have marked a day to celebrate those who have died in faith and now realize the perfect joys of heaven. It is called “All Saints’ Day.” We thank God for bringing our Christian loved ones out of the troubles and turmoil of this world and into eternal bliss and glory. And we ask God to preserve us in our faith so that we might one day join the saints in that place where life is far more than better. Want to hear more?

He showed Pharoah who was in charge through the use of the plagues. Pharoah's heart was black(hard). He only let God's people go when God used the final plague, the death of the oldest son. God's people saw His love and protection when He parted the Red Sea to keep them safe! May we look around and see His power in our lives all around!

"Your will be done."  This was our passage this week.  The children learned it very quickly!  The words are easy to remember.  What the words mean...so much harder to put into practice!  Moses grew up, became a shepherd, and had his plan.  The Lord spoke directly to Moses from a burning bush to give Moses His plan for him.  Even with the Lord right there before him, Moses whined and looked for excuses to get out of God's plan-going to Pharoah to set God's people free. Multiple times, Moses said, "But, but, but...." ending with a straightforward, "I don't want to."  The Lo

Jesus repeatedly told his followers that living as his disciples would bring hardship. Living life according to God’s Law is going to make one appear odd in the eyes of the world, perhaps even evil. Sharing a message of mankind’s sin and God’s gracious salvation can cause offense. So why not just stay silent if that makes life easier? Why not keep our faith private? Answer: because we are going to live forever. In gratitude for Christ saving us and giving us eternal life, we share the gospel with others, hoping that they will believe and be saved too. Since we know we are going to live forever in the perfection of heaven, we don’t worry if being a witness for Christ brings hardship or even death. Martin Luther wanted to reform the false teachings of the church. He stood firm in the truth of the gospel, knowing it might cost him his life. But Luther knew that, thanks to Christ, he would live forever. So will we. Therefore, like Luther, let us live a life of courageous witness. Want to h
