Sermon Summary

Pastor Eric Klemme preached on the cost of discipleship, emphasizing that following Christ requires placing Him above every earthly relationship, comfort, and desire. Using Jesus’ own words, he highlighted that anything loved more than Christ becomes idolatry, and discipleship often leads to sacrifice, rejection, and struggle. Pastor Klemme drew from examples of early Christians, modern believers, and voices like Dietrich Bonhoeffer to show that faith is not a pursuit of earthly ease but a call to endurance, spiritual warfare, and unwavering trust in God’s promises. Though the road is narrow and costly, it is the only way that leads to eternal life, sustained by God’s Word, Spirit, and grace.

Children's Message

Family Life Minister Curtis used simple plastic rings to teach the children about true value. He explained that while the world offers things with little or no lasting worth—like the cheap rings—God gives us something far greater: His love and salvation through Jesus Christ. The rings were a reminder that our true worth is not in what the world provides, but in being loved and saved by Jesus, who forgives our sins and makes us His own.

Sermon Summary

Pastor Klemme preached on the danger of pride and the call to humble discipleship. Jesus, who humbled Himself to serve and save us, calls us to deny ourselves, carry our cross, and live for others. Through the Word and Sacraments, God nourishes and equips us to keep our eyes on Christ, remembering always: “It’s about Jesus, not us.”

Children's Message

On Rally Day, Curtis reminded the children that the whole Bible points to Jesus. From God’s promises to Adam and Eve, Noah, and Abraham, all are fulfilled in Christ’s death and resurrection. We give thanks for God’s Word and ask the Spirit to help us share this good news with others.

Sermon Summary

This week Pastor Klemme preached on Jesus’ words about the narrow door (Luke 13:22–30). Salvation does not come through our works or righteousness but only through Christ. Many may outwardly follow, but only true faith in Jesus leads to life. God desires all to be saved, and our mission is to share the Gospel so that others too may enter through Christ, the only way to the Father.

Children's Message

Curtis began by showing the children goldfish crackers and asked if they had seen the little fish symbols on cars. He explained that the fish symbol (Ichthus) is an early Christian sign, with Greek letters that stand for “Jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior.” Early Christians used it to identify each other.

He reminded the children that while symbols can be helpful, the real mission of Christians is not just showing who we are but telling others about Jesus—His death for our sins and His resurrection. He encouraged them to share their faith openly, not just through symbols but through words and actions.

Sermon Summary

Pastor Klemme reminded us that false voices will always try to draw us from Christ, even within the church or our families. God’s Word confronts our sin but leads us to repentance and life. Our hope is not in prosperity or worldly comfort, but in Christ alone. As we walk the narrow road of faith, we stay firm by fixing our eyes on Jesus through His Word, Baptism, and the Lord’s Supper.

Children's Message

Curtis used gold stars to remind the children that while school rewards good behavior, our true “gold star” comes from Jesus, who won salvation for us. We don’t live for rewards but keep our eyes on Jesus, running the race of faith and doing good because of what Christ has already done.

Sermon Summary

Seek First the Kingdom of God The message reminds us to keep our priorities centered on Christ, not on material possessions or worldly concerns. Using examples from Scripture—Abraham’s faith, the rich young ruler, Mary and Martha—we see that the highest priority is to seek God’s kingdom and righteousness. Fear, distraction, and love of wealth draw our eyes from Christ, but God equips us through His Word, Sacraments, and Spirit to remain steadfast. We are called to live generously, love our neighbor, and serve in the mission field, freely giving as we have freely received.

Children's Message

God Cares for You More Than the Birds Using a bird-shaped whistle, the lesson reminded children that God values and cares for even the smallest birds, especially during storms. When we see or hear birds, we can remember that God loves us far more, caring for us in life’s storms and showing His love through Jesus’ death and resurrection. Every Sunday is a celebration of Jesus’ victory over death so that we may live with Him forever.

Sermon Summary

The sermon centers on the theme "Teach Us to Pray," drawing from the disciple's request to Jesus and His response—the Lord’s Prayer. The speaker emphasizes that prayer does not come naturally to sinful human nature, which tends to focus on self-interest. Instead, Christians must be taught how to pray rightly, with humility and reliance on the Holy Spirit.
Conclusion: God teaches us to pray through His Word and strengthens us through His Sacraments. As we grow in prayer, our lives reflect the fruits of the Spirit, and we live in gratitude and faith through Jesus Christ.

Children's Message

• Main Theme: Teaching children about prayer using the pretzel as a symbol of folded arms in prayer.

• Why We Fold Hands, Bow Heads, Close Eyes:
◦ To remove distractions and show reverence during prayer.

• Pretzel History:
◦ Originates from a 7th-century monk who rewarded children for learning prayers.
◦ The shape represents folded arms and serves as a visual reminder to pray.

• Encouragement:
◦ Children are reminded that they can talk directly to God about anything—big or small.
◦ God desires open and constant communication with His children.

The message ends with a simple prayer thanking God for the gift of prayer and salvation, and asking for the Holy Spirit to guide and inspire joyful witness.

Sermon Summary

God's Love, Christian Response, and True Worship

1. God's Amazing Love for Us
• God loved us while we were still sinners—hostile and alienated from Him.
• Through Christ’s death, we are reconciled to God, declared holy, blameless, and above reproach.
• This salvation comes by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone—faith itself being a gift from God.

2. How God Nurtures Faith
• For many, faith began in Baptism and was nurtured through Sunday School and catechesis.
• God continues to feed faith through preaching, absolution, and the Lord’s Supper, where we receive Christ’s body and blood.
• Worship is where God welcomes us to His feast, just as Abraham and Martha welcomed Him.

3. Martha and Mary – Two Aspects of Christian Love
• Martha's service was sacred and showed love through hospitality and care.
• She, like Abraham, honored God by serving a meal, and her devotion was genuine, not worldly.
• Mary's devotion represents worship—the "better portion" Jesus praised.
• Jesus did not rebuke Martha harshly but gently reminded her of what is truly necessary: time at His feet in worship.

4. Love for God Takes Shape in Service and Worship
• Christian love responds to God’s love with acts of service (caring for others) and acts of worship (adoration and reverence).
• Everyday acts—meals, work, helping others—done in love are sacred.
• God is pleased with our good works, not because they are perfect, but because they are made acceptable through Christ.

5. Worship as the Highest Expression of Love
• Worship is not wasteful; it is where love reaches its purest form—focused fully on Christ.
• Like Mary anointing Jesus with costly perfume, worship is our response of faith, adoration, and gratitude.
• Jesus affirms the value of extravagant worship even over seemingly more “practical” alternatives.

Conclusion
Because we are forgiven and justified, we respond with love. That love takes the form of:
• Service to others (like Martha),
• And devout worship (like Mary).
May our lives reflect both in joyful gratitude to God.
“We love because He first loved us.” – 1John 4:19

Children's Message

The speaker engages the children by asking about their favorite foods—answers include pizza and potato chips. This leads to a teaching moment about how not all food is good for us, but God’s Word is always good food for our souls.

They explain that in the Gospel reading, Jesus was feeding Mary and Martha the Word of God, which represents spiritual nourishment. Children are reminded that we receive this spiritual “good food” through Sunday School, church, and reading the Bible.

The core message: Jesus is the Bread of Life—He died and rose again for our sins, offering us eternal life.To reinforce the lesson, the children each receive a bread roll as a symbol of Jesus being the Bread of Life.

Sermon Summary

The parable of the Good Samaritan is not primarily about what we must do to inherit eternal life, but rather about what Jesus has done for us. Jesus is the true Good Samaritan who saves us when we are spiritually dead and helpless.

Conclusion:
You can't lower the bar to earn eternal life—Jesus raised it and then fulfilled it for you. He is the Good Samaritan who rescues, heals, and saves. Now, having received His mercy, go and do likewise, not to justify yourself, but to reflect His love to the world. Amen.

Children's Message

This children's message is based on the parable of the Good Samaritan. The speaker explains how the term “Good Samaritan” still exists in our culture today and refers to someone who helps others—especially strangers—in need.

Children are reminded that Jesus taught us to love our neighbors as ourselves, and part of that means caring for others and offering help when we see someone in trouble. To reinforce the message, each child is given Band-Aids as a symbol of healing and service to others.

The session closes with a prayer thanking God for the gift of salvation and for teaching us to love our neighbors. The prayer asks for the Holy Spirit's help to recognize others’ needs and respond with compassion so others may come to know God through our actions.

Gospel Reading: Luke 10:1-20

Sermon Summary

The message emphasizes that God desires all people to be saved and to know His peace—a peace that flows steadily from Him and surpasses all understanding. This peace is found only in Christ, who died for the forgiveness of sins. During the season of Pentecost, the Church is called into motion, sent into the world to proclaim the Gospel so others may hear, believe, and receive this peace. The Holy Spirit works through the Means of Grace to create and sustain faith. The Law serves as curb, mirror, and guide, but salvation is found only in the Gospel. Believers are sent as laborers into God’s harvest, to love as Christ loves, and to rejoice that their names are written in heaven.

Children's Message

Family Life Minister Curtis discusses the significance of Independence Day and the presence of the U.S. and Christian flags in Lutheran sanctuaries. During World War I, many Lutherans in the U.S. spoke German, and to show loyalty to America—and avoid hindering the gospel message—they began placing U.S. flags in their sanctuaries. The Christian flag was added as a balance. The message emphasizes prioritizing faith in Jesus above all else. It ends with a prayer thanking God for life, freedom, and the mission to share salvation with others.

Sermon Summary

The sermon emphasizes that God’s kingdom takes priority over all else—home, family, possessions, and personal comfort. Using Luke’s account of Jesus setting His face toward Jerusalem, Pastor highlights that following Christ often means setting aside earthly security and convenience. Discipleship requires seeking God’s kingdom first, being nourished through Word and Sacrament, and living in step with the Holy Spirit. We are called not to be distracted by material needs or worldly desires, but to proclaim the gospel, love our neighbor, and trust in Christ’s victory over sin. The Spirit equips us to keep our eyes on Jesus and live with kingdom-first priorities.

Children's Message

Jesus calls us to follow Him without hesitation, putting Him first above everything else. Loving Him means also loving our neighbors—helping others, listening to parents, being kind, and doing our best. A cross necklace reminds us daily: Jesus comes first.

Sermon Summary

The sermon centers on Jesus casting out a legion of demons, showing that only He has the power to defeat sin, death, and the devil. It warns against cultural fascinations with ghost stories, mediums, and superstitions, which offer false hope and distract from Christ’s true authority. The Gerasenes’ rejection of Jesus contrasts with the healed man’s obedience to share what God had done—an example of Christian witness. Believers are called to be “living stones,” sharing the gospel through words and actions, empowered by the Holy Spirit. The message urges bold, respectful testimony, trusting the gospel’s power to free and save.

Children's Message

The lesson for children uses the story of Jesus casting demons into pigs to show His authority over evil, sin, death, and fear. A small pig toy is given as a reminder of the event. The key message is that Jesus, our Creator and King, protects and delivers us from fears and enemies.

Sermon Summary

The sermon from June 15, 2025, focuses on the mystery and doctrine of the Holy Trinity. It emphasizes that the Trinity—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—is not fully comprehensible by human reason but must be accepted by faith through the Holy Spirit. The preacher defends the historic Christian understanding of one God in three persons against common heresies like modalism and adoptionism, referencing the Athanasian Creed for clarity.

Children's Message

The speaker teaches children about the Trinity—God the Father, God the Son (Jesus), and God the Holy Spirit—using symbols within the church building. The message emphasizes that Christians worship one God in three persons, not three separate gods. The church’s symbolism is used to reinforce the story of salvation: Jesus' death, resurrection, and the Holy Spirit's role in giving faith.

Sermon Summary

Seminarian Zeke reflects on 1Corinthians 12, emphasizing the importance and diversity of spiritual gifts in the church. He contrasts the Corinthian church’s misuse of spiritual gifts—using them to boast—with the modern tendency to ignore or underappreciate them. Zeke explains that spiritual gifts are given by the Holy Spirit not to save us (salvation is by grace alone) but to build up and encourage one another in the body of Christ. Using examples like hospitality, wisdom, and comfort, he encourages the congregation to recognize, value, and use their unique gifts to strengthen the church community.

Children's Message

Today, the children learned about the story of Pentecost, when the Holy Spirit appeared like flames above the heads of the early believers, empowering them to speak God's Word. The message reminded us that the same Holy Spirit lives in all believers today, giving us faith and calling us to share the good news of Jesus’ death and resurrection. As a reminder of this mission, the children were given paper “flames” to pass out to the congregation, symbolizing how we are all called to spread the gospel.

Sermon Summary

The Lost and the Shepherd Pastor Ray shared the story of losing his dog Lily to illustrate the Good Shepherd’s relentless love. Just as he searched day and night, God seeks each lost soul with patience and grace. Jesus gave all to bring us home—victorious over death, He will never stop pursuing us.
