Pastor Johnson breaks down this sermon into 5 points.1. Trust, Preservation, and God as the Ultimate SourcePsalm 16:1–3 — Trust and Preservation: Pastor Johnson expounds on "Preserve me, O God" (Psalm 16:1), emphasizing God's protection in an unpredictable world. This preservation is likened to salting hams or canning to prevent spoilage—God keeps believers from "going bad." Trusting God as a refuge alleviates worry and provides safety.Recognition of God as Giver: Based on Psalm 16:2, Pastor Johnson asserts that all blessings—houses, cars, children—are gifts from God. This echoes Job's declaration, "The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away," promoting gratitude in both abundance and loss.National Heritage of Faith: "In God We Trust" on U.S. currency reflects America's religious foundations, built by pioneers who trusted God for their sustenance and future.2. Personal Testimony and Gratitude"If It Had Not Been for the Lord": Pastor Johnson recounts growing up in a rural shack with minimal clothing and worn-out shoes, contrasting this with current blessings to underscore God's provision—and the conviction that life would be "messed up" without Jesus.The Tommy Johnson Story: Pastor Johnson was repeatedly misidentified as "Tommy Johnson" in high school, who received accolades meant for him. Though Tommy was voted "most likely to succeed," he later died from drug addiction—a reminder that earthly predictions are fallible and life outcomes depend on following God's plan.Gratitude as a Pathway to Blessing: Pastor Johnson teaches that God loves grateful people and that an appreciative attitude leads to continued favor. Cultivating gratitude positively affects one's outlook and outcomes.3. Commitment and Identity in ChristLiving by Faith (Galatians 2:20): Pastor Johnson cites Galatians 2:20 ("I am crucified with Christ... yet not I, but Christ liveth in me") to explain that the Christian life is Christ living through the believer—rooted in His love and sacrifice.Being "Hooked on Jesus": Devotion to Christ is described as being "stuck on Jesus"—a lifelong commitment that makes returning to a life without God unthinkable after having "tasted" His goodness.Trials as Formative Experiences: God allows hardships—like a child learning to walk—as necessary for growth. He may permit struggles but will not leave believers down. "I have never seen the righteous forsaken nor his seed begging bread."4. Being on God's Winning TeamThe Sports Analogy: Life is compared to a competition with winners and losers. God never loses—like a doctor who never loses a patient or a lawyer who never loses a case. Believers should want to be on "the Lord's team."Staying on the Team: Just as teams trade underperforming players, God may remove the uncommitted. Staying on His team requires "playing hard" through prayer, fasting, and seeking God's help with personal struggles. The responsibility lies with the individual.God's Validation (Psalm 56): Psalm 56:9 ("When I cry unto you, then shall my enemy turn back") confirms God is for us. His response—financial blessing, improved health, or removal of negative influences—is proof of His support.5. Practical Spiritual CounselPrayer for Daily Preservation: Pastor Johnson advises praying "Lord, keep me" before work, school, or travel, acknowledging life's unpredictability.Dealing with Negative Influences: Believers should call on God when facing opposition and create healthy boundaries—following Jesus' example of telling negativity, "Get behind me." Surround yourself with people who bring joy, not strife.The Blessing of Gathering: Citing Peter's statement, "It is good for us to be here," Pastor Johnson highlights the value of worship in helping believers avoid conflict and receive God's word.We hope you enjoyed this sermon.Join us this Wednesday at 630pm for our MidWeek Refuel.

A different gospel can be preached through both words and through actions. Paul talks about a time when Peter taught a different gospel through his actions, and then needed to be confronted. In that confrontation, Paul reminds us that justification is not by the good works that we do, but by our faith in Christ … Continue reading By Works or By Faith – Galatians 2:11-20 (4/12/26 p.m. sermon)

“All religions are basically the same.” We're no strangers to such an appraisal in today's world. We even hear it from the lips of many who identify as Christians. But such a conflation of the various competing worldviews out there would have been unthinkable to the apostle Paul. Specifically, there is one thing that sets Christianity apart from every other religion out there: they are all primarily concerned - in one way or another - with instructing their adherents in how to live; commending a law to live by. Christianity, on the other hand, proposes that “a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ” (Gal 2:16). In this text, Paul will expound all that faith in Christ can do for us that the law was powerless to do.

In writing to the Galatians, St. Paul reminds the that the law itself is a harsh prison and disciplinarian. To live by that way is to find only death and condemnation. However, to recognize that the law is meant to reveal sin means that they can cling to Christ by faith through baptism. Baptism becomes that foundation upon which we can trust that God is at work in us.Image: Baptism Shell, posted by WELS.net. No changes made, CC BY-NC 2.0.

We promise you'll discover how the temporary purpose of the law is akin to a child needing a tutor, painting a vivid picture of the transition from law's guardianship to becoming full-grown heirs through faith in Christ. Delve into Abraham's faith, a powerful parallel to the spiritual growth believers experience, and understand how moving beyond the constraints of the law leads to a mature relationship with God. In this session, we discuss the empowering transformation that comes from accepting Christ, encouraging you to ponder your spiritual journey and embrace growth and maturity in your faith.Support the show

If the fruit of the Spirit is a miracle that God produces in his people, what can we do to cultivate that fruit?
How do people become sons of God and heirs to his promises? They must put on Jesus Christ, God's true Son, by faith and not by law-keeping.
Obedience to the law can never make a person right before God, but the faith that saves produces works that conform to the law.
The Spirit is both the gift of faith and the agent of faith. We receive him by faith, and he grants the very faith by which we receive him.
Neither the beginning, nor the middle, nor the end of the Christian life is left untouched by the saving might of the Spirit.
What is saving faith? Historically, the answer has included three basic elements: knowing, assenting, and trusting.
