Worship Service – May 15, 2022

How do we prepare for Jesus to abide with or in us? By keeping Jesus’ commandments and by loving Jesus, which inevitably and inextricably means keeping his word. We prepare for Jesus to abide in us by welcoming his gift of peace and responding to his presence with faith. How are you doing in the abiding department? What’s your hospitality quotient? Have you prepared your inner life to be a hospitable home for Jesus? One in which Jesus will find faith and love and bountiful fruit?

John 10:22-30 – Once again, the Gospel presents us with people who are looking for a rational answer to the question of who Jesus is – a question that will satisfy them intellectually. We are reminded again to meet Jesus and hear His/Her words with our heart, not with our head. We ask Him/Her to help us to do so.

Jesus and the Miracle Catch of Fish – (Commentary based on John 21: 1-19)

Even though Peter had likely seen Jesus perform other miracles – he may still have had doubts about giving up his livelihood, his family, and everything he knew – to follow Jesus. Healing his mother-in-law and changing water into wine were phenomena outside Peter’s experience. But fish were different – he knew all about fish. This miracle hit home to him as others had not.

Imagine another disciple asking Peter about his impending decision, “But how can you do it?” – and Peter’s likely answer, “Just look at all those fish!”

We all need to leave things behind in order fo follow God. For some of us it is addictive behaviors, for others an emphasis on our own success or the adulation of the crowd. It helps to look not just at what we are leaving behind and what God promises us – but also at what God has shown us already.

Just look at all those fish!

Worship Service – Sunday, April 3, 2022

The message this Sunday is based on John 12:1-8. By anointing His feet with expensive oil, Mary shows us that Jesus is worth more than the price tag of anything we own. What matters is putting Christ first and foremost, and recognizing His value above all else.
 

Worship Service – Sunday, March 27, 2022

As told in the Parable of the Prodigal Son – It doesn’t matter how far we stray from God or how much we squander the gifts God provides, God is always delighted when we turn back to him/her. God’s unconditional love is waiting for us to return home to be greeted with open arms.

Redeemer’s Giving Tree

A permanent Giving Tree is located in the Narthex! It’s simple to use and benefits many worthy causes in our community and at Redeemer. Simply remove a tag from the tree, bring in the donation on the tag and place it into the proper bin at the foot of the tree. Many thanks to Matt Nettesheim for constructing this amazing work of art (including LED lighting), to Jenny Nettesheim and Sheila Bauer for managing this project, and to Thrivent for providing a grant to help get in “off the ground”. We look forward to many years of use in service to others.
