This week we learned why. He waited and waited until he was 100 years old for God to keep His promise to give him a son. What joy and excitement when God did bless him with a son! Our promise from the Lord is Heaven! He has already saved us through His some Jesus. Now we wait for the rest of the promise, and we know God will take us to Heaven be...

Anticipating Worship: Sixteenth Sunday after Pentecost, September 28, 2025—WHAT HELPS IN LIFE FAILS IN DEATH

Image
What do John D Rockefeller, King Solomon, Henry Ford, and Joseph Stalin all have in common? Two things. First, they are all in the list of the twenty wealthiest individuals who have ever lived. Second, they are all rotting in the ground. The reality is that while money may help you achieve some objectives, it fails to prevent death. So Jesus speaks some sharp words this week, warning that those who live with hearts filled with love for money and void of love for God will receive the only eternity that money can buy—one void of God and filled with torment. Money seems helpful, but it fails in death. Conversely, what often seems of little help in this life will be our only source of help in death. The world scoffs at those who set aside plenteous time to listen to Jesus’ words and eat his holy meal. “Of what practical good are such things?” Only this. Such things enable us, at death, to receive a reward that dwarfs even the best things money can buy. Want to hear more? See you this weeke...

A Creative and Spiritual Opportunity for Our Fourth Graders

Image
Emanuel Lutheran's fourth-grade students had a fantastic opportunity to work with Glenn Erdmann, a talented glass instructor from Bethany Lutheran Church in Appleton, to create beautiful fused glass crosses. The students spent the afternoon in the TIGER room, getting hands-on experience with a unique art form while crafting a meaningful and lasting piece. This wonderful project was made possible by a generous $250 Thrivent Action Team grant. We are incredibly grateful for the support that allows our students to participate in these enriching and creative experiences at no cost to the school. Special thanks to Mr. Erdmann for his time, expertise, and dedication to sharing this incredible skill with our students. It's truly a blessing to have community members who invest in the growth and creativity of our young people.

Anticipating Worship: Fifteenth Sunday after Pentecost, September 21, 2025—NO ONE CAN SERVE TWO MASTERS

Image
There are more than 2,300 Bible passages that speak about money. Why? Money is a master Satan frequently tempts us to serve. In fact, out of all the masters competing for our service besides God, money is probably at the top of the list. Money provides us with false comfort and a sense of security. Money serves as a source of pride. This week, Jesus’ sharp words identify the impossibility of serving more than one master. Moreover, Jesus teaches that if we dedicate our lives in service to money, money will always let us down. In contrast, God has proven that he is a master worth serving. When we serve God, money is put in its proper place. Instead of it being a master to serve, it becomes a tool in our service of our true Master. Want to hear more? See you this weekend: Saturday at 5:15 p.m. • Sunday at 8 a.m. • Sunday at 10:30 a.m.

We learned this week that from the beginning of time, family has been hard. Sin causes dysfunction and problems.  Cain became so angry with his brother, he murdered him. The children understood that murder is a sin. It was a bit harder to understand that pushing or hitting , even for a cause, are sins. We pray every day that the Lord would strengthen us so that we might do what is right. We know we will fail be...
