Today's Promise: Psalm 119:14 Like so many things in the Christian walk, receiving joy from obeying God doesn't seem to make sense. The Psalmist says we can rejoice over obeying God the way a person rejoices over finding an envelope of money, seeing their stocks go up, or discovering a hidden treasure. Here are four short reasons why you can rejoice in obeying the Lord. 1. Obedience produces a blessed life. 2. Obedience keeps you from harm. 3. Obedience pleases Your Father. 4. Obedience shows your love for Christ. The benefits of obedience far outweigh the cost of walking in disobedience.

All this week we're looking at what we need to embrace for ourselves and in turn teach to our kids about what it means to walk with God. The guidance comes from the writings of the seventeenth century Puritan writer, Jeremiah Burroughs. Burroughs tell us that when we set ourselves to walk with God, we depend on God for protection as He takes care to watch over us in whatever we do. Our kids need to learn that the pathway of discipleship, which is the pathway of self-denial, is one where we will experience difficulties, dangers, and even opportunities to enter into the sufferings of Christ. We should teach our kids to pray this prayer from Burroughs: “Lord, I am in the way into which you have guided me. I may meet with much trouble and affliction. But Lord, protect me, defend me in this way of yours.” Parents, as we walk with God, let us echo these words of the Psalmist: “even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me.”

In this sermon, we follow the Psalmist's own journey to resolve his spiritual doubts and questions as he navigates a world that often seems unfair and unjust.Every human being longs for the right kind of leadership and rule. When we experience good leadership, we want to follow. When we experience poor leadership, we lament and seek other guidance. Series Description: The Psalms are the song book of God's people, and each summer we mine their riches. Their imagery, poetry, and theology invite us to deeper worship of God and remind us of his unchanging character.

The Sermons on the Amount - Part 2  "Owner - A Question: Who is Lord Over All?" MESSAGE SUMMARY: This Sermon series assembles important Biblical references to all aspects of money and finances and their influence and impact on us; therefore,  helping us to apply these Scriptures to our lives today. The reason for this series is because money and possessions have captivated our culture. In Colossians 1:16, Paul establishes Jesus' Divinity and primacy: “For him {Jesus} all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him.". Jesus is the Creator and owner of all things both Earthly and Universally. Also, the Psalmist, in Psalms 24:1-2, establishes the supremacy of God's “ownership” of all things: “The earth is the LORD's and the fullness thereof, the world and those who dwell therein, for he has founded it upon the seas and established it upon the rivers.". God's aspects of “ownership” include our: 1) time – we can't change time or add time to a twenty-four-hour day or our earthly lives; 2) land – we are but passing through with only temporary stewardship for the land we occupy before our death; 3) animals – God created and owns all animal life; 4) gold, money and finances – as God tells us in Haggai 2:8: “The silver is mine, and the gold is mine, declares the LORD of hosts.”; and 5) all that we possess (tangible and intangible) – health, mind, family heritage, creativity, bodies.   When we realize that Jesus owns everything, even though we have worked hard to obtain and enjoy the benefits of land, money, time and the other tangible and intangible components of our lives then and only then do we obtain a freedom to truly live our lives to the fullest. Everything that we “have” and “enjoy” is because of and from the ownership of God, as we are told in 1 Chronicles 29:14-15: “But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able thus to offer willingly? For all things come from you, and of your own have we given you. For we are strangers before you and sojourners, as all our fathers were. Our days on the earth are like a shadow, and there is no abiding.”. Jesus is either the Lord over all, or He is not the Lord at all! In the New Testament, the word “Lord” means the one that rules over us for our own good. In these times today, we must be intentional to have Jesus as the “Lord” over our lives, money and possessions. Intellectually, we must come to a place where we recognize and accept that Jesus is the owner. Most people in Western Christianity never come to this realization and acceptance of Jesus' ownership and “Lord” over all. The Lord wants to bless us and reward us while we recognize His ownership and use, to His name, of all that He has permitted us to use and possess in our lifetime. It helps to openly acknowledge God's ownership of all that we possess – acknowledge to God that we are in partnership with Him for all that He has permitted us to possess while we are on this earth. In his writings, Andrew Murray recommends guidelines that we: 1) receive all our money with thanksgiving and as coming from God; 2) lay everything down before God as belonging to Him; 3) let our dealings with money be a part of our spiritual life; and 4) make the study of the Word of God, relating to finances and money, become a key part of our lives.   TODAY'S PRAYER: Keeping the Sabbath, Lord, will require a lot of changes in the way I am living life. Teach me, Lord, how to take the next step with this in a way that fits my unique personality and situation. Help me to trust you with all that will remain unfinished and to enjoy my humble place in your very large world. In Jesus' name, amen.    Scazzero, Peter.

July 26, 2025Today's Reading: Introit for Pentecost 7 - Psalm 119:145-149; antiphon: Psalm 50:15Daily Lectionary: 1 Samuel 10:1-27; Acts 22:17-29“Hear my voice according to your steadfast love; O LORD, according to your justice give me life.” (Psalm 119:149) In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.What is God's justice, and how does one gain life from it? The Psalmist would seem to know the answer, and God grant that we would come to know the same. But we must be on guard! For when we, or those dear to us, are hurt by another, or when we have worked hard toward some great accomplishment where others have not, we crave the kind of justice which reigns in this fallen world; justice which dictates that everyone get what they deserve. We desire to see payment commensurate with the amount and quality of one's work, and punishment of wrongdoers befitting the harshness of their crime. A desire for such justice in this world is not wrong. The Scripture speaks often of curbing evil and promoting good (e.g., Leviticus 19:15, Proverbs 18:5, Is 1:17, Amos 5:15, Romans 13:1-7). However, may God preserve us from coveting such justice against any wrongdoer's status in the kingdom of heaven. Jesus makes the danger of this clear when he says, “… with the judgment you pronounce, you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you.” (Matthew 7:2)In God's kingdom, nobody gets what they deserve. In God's vineyard, the worker who labored but an hour receives the same pay as he who toiled the whole day. In God's household, finding one lost coin or sheep is celebrated with absurd lavishness, and the wretched, ungrateful, rebellious, wasteful son, who deserves nothing more than enslavement, is welcomed home and restored as an heir. In God's kingdom, he who is so indebted to the king that he cannot possibly atone for it in a lifetime is completely forgiven of it. Yet, anyone who would exact punishment rather than bestow mercy upon one indebted to them cannot abide in God's kingdom, where nobody gets what they deserve.What is God's justice, and how does one gain life from it? The answer to both questions is the same. God's justice is the broken body of Christ nailed to the course wood of the cross. God's justice is the blood and water flowing from the spear-gouge in Christ's side, pouring into the font of your Baptism and into the cup of the New Testament for the forgiveness of sins. To look for justice anywhere but Christ crucified is to look for justice to be visited upon oneself. And you can't handle the justice that God gives any more than those whom you are tempted to condemn. Look to Christ crucified and see God's justice such that you, and even those by whom you have been harmed, are given life from the author of life; life where all conflict, division, pain, and sin are put to death forever. In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. Since Christ has full atonement made and brought to us salvation, Each Christian therefore may be glad and build on this foundation. Your grace alone, dear Lord, I plead, Your death is now my life indeed, For You have paid my ransom. (LSB 555:6)Rev.

In Today's Uncertainty, We Need to Remember that God Wants to Walk with Us In All Our Life Situations, Both Good and Bad – Just Ask Him MESSAGE SUMMARY: “Lord is my helper and confident, why should I be afraid? What can man do to me?” For this confidence, you must know who Jesus is – both in your heart and in your mind. Jesus is the Son of God – God in the flesh. As Paul tells us in Philippians 4:4: “do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.". Therefore, You do not need to worry about troubling circumstances in your life because you know that He is with you; and He will guide you no matter how dark your life seems. Jesus is the light that shines in darkness.  As Jesus tells you in Luke 12:4-5, that when you have anxiety and fear in your life, you must determine if this anxiety derivative of the right kind of fear: “I tell you, my friends, do not fear those who kill the body, and after that have nothing more that they can do. But I will warn you whom to fear: fear him who, after he has killed, has authority to cast into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him!”. When you are faced with life's tragedies and the anxieties that result from just living your life, Jesus can turn those situations and your fears into ways and results that you cannot fathom, understand, or anticipate; but you can certainly appreciate. Why not give God a chance to walk with you in all your life situations -- good and bad? Ultimately, the Psalmist got it right in Psalm 23:4: “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.".   TODAY'S PRAYER: Lord, everything in me resists following you into the garden of Gethsemane to fall on my face to the ground before you. Grant me the courage to follow you all the way to the cross, whatever that might mean for my life. And then, by your grace, lead me to resurrection life and power. In Jesus' name, amen.   Scazzero, Peter. Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Day by Day (p. 100). Zondervan. Kindle Edition. TODAY'S AFFIRMATION: Today, I affirm that because I am in Jesus Christ, I will seek God's perspective on my situation. For I know that in all things God works together for good to those of us who love Him and are called according to His purpose.

July 19, 2025 Today's Reading: Introit for Pentecost 6 - Psalm 119:57-60, 64; antiphon: Psalm 119:105Daily Lectionary: 1 Samuel 2:18-36; Acts 15:22-41 “I entreat your favor with all my heart; be gracious to me according to your promise.” (Psalm 119:58)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. Have you ever been given a weird gift? Like a dead bird by your dog? A rock from a younger sibling? A feather from a toddler? Maybe a sloppy kiss from a baby? You understand the sentiment… but what are you going to do with a dead bird? You are probably going to wipe the slobber off your face after that messy kiss. And yet, you can't help but be grateful; you know that the gift was given with love. I imagine myself as the dog or the sloppy baby giving myself up to God: Here I am! I'm a mess. I'm covered in sin, guilt, and shame. This hour/day/week/month/year/existence has been… rough. What is worse, though, is that I am not a cute little toddler giving something out of love— I am a dead enemy of God. Before Baptism, I am unable to come to Him (dead things can only be dead), let alone give Him a gift. And yet, along with the Psalmist, I am fervently asking Him for His favor. It is the second part of this verse that is such tremendous comfort; in our prayers, we get to point to the promises that God Himself has made. In the Garden of Eden, He promised a Savior, and He kept that promise. On the cross, Jesus said, “It is finished,” and it was. In our Baptism, He promises forgiveness of sins, life, and salvation— and they are ours. He promises to give us the Holy Spirit to create faith within us, and we have Him. In the Lord's Supper, He promises to feed and nourish us in His grace, and we receive the Bread of Life. When we pray, He promises to hear us— and He does. So, when I come to him as a mess, I can remember and be comforted by His promises. It's true. We come to God as broken sinners, day after day and week after week, and He meets us with forgiveness, mercy, and grace. We come to Him as beggars, and He treats us as His Beloved Children. He is gracious. He does remember His promises. And what's more? He forgets our sins! He covers our shame, guilt, and deadness—Jesus paid for that; it is gone. He keeps His promises and gives us His favor abundantly. In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.Wait, then, in quiet confidence, Your anxious thoughts at rest. God knows your needs before you ask And works for what is best. (LSB 771:3) - Deac.

Where is God when the circumstances around us seem impossibly grim? King David addresses this question in Psalm 16.

In this final installment of this year's Summer in the Psalms, Pastor Connor talks about running to God, letting Him define what is good, and anchoring our lives in resurrection hope.This week, our hosts dive deeper into the Psalms, specifically Psalm 16, they go over the other time Psalm 16 was referenced in the bible, what are some other false refuges people seek out, and we get to hear a short story of when Connei crossed paths with Connor before he joined the church. Oh and tune into the beginning to hear our hosts talk about the women's ministry and when some their events start up again.If you would like to watch the video podcast, find us on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMhDfGn0zfzi6XjcKkSVcFAFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/discovertbcInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/topekabiblechurchWebsite: https://www.discovertbc.com/

We now take a summer break from our Matthew studies to take a look at some of the Psalms in a series we call, “Summer of Psalms.”I begin this series by being blessed to teach Psalm 1. A great psalm!
