Stewardship Thought: 1 John 3:16-24: This text reminds us Christian
stewards of the truth that we show our love for God by showing
love to those around us, especially those in need. May God help
us to always be generous in our acts of love!
In Sunday School today: The story of "Paul and Timothy" served as
the focus of Sunday School today. Just as many in Paul's day
thought, we think we must do something to be saved. Yet the
answer is always Jesus, Jesus, only Jesus, whose resurrection from
the dead sealed our salvation and absolved the world. Questions
for discussion include "How are you like Timothy?" and "How are
we saved from our sin?"
Outreach: John 10:11-18: Jesus taught His disciples and us that He
is the Good Shepherd who laid down His life for the sheep. What
good news for our comfort and for us to share with those who do
not yet believe in our Good Shepherd Jesus!

Life Quote: Jesus alone has the power to heal what we have
buried and tried to hide for so long. Remember that Jesus Christ
defeated Satan with the cross. Because of that, we do not have to
be held captive to shame at the hands of our enemy any longer.
With Christ we are spotless, clean and pure without blemish. Let His
grace be enough for you today as you trust Him to work all things
for His good." Grace Kern, director of Word-of-Hope, LFL's postabortion
ministry (888-217-8679) This "Life Quote" is from Lutherans
For Life - www.lutheransforlife.org.
