Get blessed! When we believe in Jesus as the Son of God, God adopts us as his own children – He chooses us! Then, as God’s children, God lavishes upon us “every spiritual blessing,” St. Paul writes. One of the gifts we receive is the power of the Holy Spirit, who helps us follow the model of […]
“Where did this man get all this?” We hear how people were amazed by the teaching and healing Jesus did during his ministry. Then, Jesus sends out his chosen Twelve to also preach and heal all who believe that Jesus is God’s son. Today, we are those witnesses, and we are sent out to testify to […]
Can I really be healed? We hear about Jesus healing a bleeding woman and raising a dead girl to life this Sunday at PEACE Lutheran Church. Many first-century people would have found aspects of these stories shocking. “This guy Jesus heals outcasts!” There he goes again, shaking things up! Come to worship and see what […]
Pastor Miller’s commentary: “We share the pain” I’ve been reflecting on the news and commentary surrounding the shooting last week at Mother Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, S.C. I see a fair amount of posturing, righteous indignation, fear, anger, twisted logic and empty assessments of blame. “The solution begins with individuals grappling with […]

Is life tossing you about? It’s easy to feel swamped. Job, family, relationships, bills, repairs to vehicle or home, politics, the weather – they can seem beyond our ability to control. Here’s the good news: They are! That’s because God is in control, not us. In today’s Bible lesson, Jesus’ disciples were terrified of being […]
At church this Sunday, we hear a reference to the cosmic tree of life in which all the birds of the air are nesting. The tree we gather around is the cross of Christ. Come be a bird on this tree! “The Kingdom of God… is like a mustard seed which, when sown upon the […]
Today we contemplate the Holy Trinity. This is the three-persons-in-one-God concept that is central to Christianity – the persons of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. It’s also the first Sunday after Pentecost, the day when we remembered God sending his Holy Spirit to Jesus’ followers after Jesus ascended into […]
Our brains don’t have to decline with age! The human brain can adapt and change with astonishing power, even into old age. With the right nutrition and exercise, the brain can form new neural pathways, change existing connections and adapt to new situations. You can maintain the size and function of your brain, improving how […]

The presenter is Kathleen […]
