The Lutheran Hour is broadcast weekly and may be heard on Sundays on WGN, Chicago 720AM at 6:00 a.m.; WMT, Cedar Rapids 600AM at 6:30 a.m.; KXEL, Waterloo 1540AM at 7:00 a.m.; KCHA, Charles City 1580 at 7:30 a.m.; and KWAY, Waverly 1470 a.m. at 8:00 a.m. This next week's sermon is "Grasping the Obvious" Speaker: Rev. Dr. Ken Klaus. Some things seem to be so obvious that we're amazed anyone could miss them. Today's message on "The Lutheran Hour" speaks to the obvious clues God gives for recognizing the Christ. (Luke 12:54b-56)

Stewardship Thought: This text reminds us that faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. As Christian stewards we have the confidence that our lives have purpose and meaning and we live them out to bring glory to our Father in heaven and blessings to people around us.
