The only thing certain in life is our death. We do not know when it will be or the circumstances, but it is inevitable. Yet we believed that through the virtues of the Blessed Virgin Mary that we may have a good death, one that allows us to repose in the grace of God.

Wealth in and of itself is not a problem, but there is a stern warning when wealth is not used God's way.
Although Jesus calls us to follow after Him on a path that can lead to suffering, the cost of following can feel too high. Jesus, therefore, teaches his disciples how the benefits of self-denying faith in Him far outweigh the costs.

Jeremiah 6:10–17 (Listen) 10 To whom shall I speak and give warning, that they may hear? Behold, their ears are uncircumcised, they cannot listen; behold, the word of the LORD is to them an object of scorn; they take no pleasure in it.11 Therefore I am full of the wrath of the LORD; I am weary of holding it in. “Pour it out upon the children in the street, and upon the gatherings of young men, also; both husband and wife shall be taken, the elderly and the very aged.12 Their houses shall be turned over to others, their fields and wives together, for I will stretch out my hand against the inhabitants of the land,” declares the LORD.13 “For from the least to the greatest of them, everyone is greedy for unjust gain; and from prophet to priest, everyone deals falsely.14 They have healed the wound of my people lightly, saying, ‘Peace, peace,' when there is no peace.15 Were they ashamed when they committed abomination? No, they were not at all ashamed; they did not know how to blush. Therefore they shall fall among those who fall; at the time that I punish them, they shall be overthrown,” says the LORD. 16 Thus says the LORD: “Stand by the roads, and look, and ask for the ancient paths, where the good way is; and walk in it, and find rest for your souls. But they said, ‘We will not walk in it.'17 I set watchmen over you, saying, ‘Pay attention to the sound of the trumpet!' But they said, ‘We will not pay attention.' (ESV)
In week two of Making Room for More, we explore Jesus' story of a feast that no one showed up to—and a host who kept inviting anyway. In Luke 14, we see that the kingdom of God isn't a lecture hall or a stadium, but a table where grace keeps making room for one more. This message invites us to trade convenience for connection and discover how our own tables can become places where heaven touches earth.To support this ministry and help us continue our God given mission, click here: http://bit.ly/2NZkdrC.Support the show

The early church is often painted as an ideal of perfect community. The reality, however, was far from picturesque. The church in Corinth was, to put it lightly, a mess. In one of his letters to the Corinthian church, the Apostle Paul tried to paint a clear picture for the people and untangle the many theological and moral knots the church had created for itself. His letter to them still rings true to the church today. How can we be unified in a world of chaos? How can we be wise in a world of foolishness?
Wicker Park Lutheran Church Vicar Sarah Freyermuth November 2, 2025 In his poem Ulysses, Alfred Tennyson wrote “I'm a part of all that I've met.” That has always been one of my favorite lines of poetry and it’s one that grabs hold of me with extra strength each year as we celebrate All Saints Sunday.

The Apostle Paul's emphasis on unity in the true church of Jesus Christ is a theme pervasive in I Corinthians. According to I Corinthians 12:1-13, to be a Christian is to behold and believe the revelation of Christ by means of the Spirit. To be a functional church of Jesus Christ is to discern and deploy the gifts, service, and activities of the Spirt for the mutual benefit of the believers in the community where God has planted you as He empowers and appoints. To be the church of Jesus Christ in essence is to be unified in Christ with members of His body by the power of The Spirit transcending personal experience, culture, history, and the grave! The language of Paul's epistle has the power to grasp our clouded souls by the hand and lift us up on gospel heights to behold our situation from heaven's perspective.

The sermon presents a compelling vision of eternal reward for those who suffer or serve faithfully for Christ, emphasizing that earthly trials are not in vain but are foundational to one's eternal standing. Drawing from Scripture such as 2 Timothy 2:11–12, Revelation 20, and Romans 8:17, it teaches that suffering for Christ leads to a future of reigning with Him during the millennial kingdom and throughout eternity, where believers will hold positions of authority and service. The message underscores that eternal rewards—symbolized by crowns, inheritance, and divine purpose—are not automatic but are earned through faithfulness, martyrdom, and enduring persecution, particularly in the context of the coming tribulation. It challenges believers to prioritize eternal values over temporary comforts, warning that even saved individuals who live self-centered lives may miss out on these exalted roles, while those who endure will experience a glory far surpassing present sufferings. Ultimately, the sermon calls for a transformed worldview, urging Christians to fix their eyes on heavenly realities and to embrace sacrifice, knowing that their faithful service now secures an eternal, dynamic, and purposeful existence with Christ.
The sermon centers on the indispensable role of the Holy Spirit in the life of a believer, emphasizing that true Christian living is not defined by human effort or moral performance, but by surrender to the empowering presence of the Holy Ghost. Drawing from Scripture—particularly Luke 1:35, Acts 10:38, and Ephesians 4:30—it affirms that the Holy Spirit is the source of spiritual empowerment, character transformation, spiritual gifts, divine guidance, intimate fellowship with God, bold witness, and lasting joy and peace. The preacher calls believers to move beyond a superficial faith, urging them to yield fully to the Spirit's control, reject self-reliance, and embrace a life where God's power is visibly manifested in personal transformation, relational healing, and supernatural breakthroughs. The message is both convicting and hopeful, challenging Christians to stop relying on their own strength and instead access the boundless power of God through the indwelling Spirit, while also extending an urgent invitation to the unconverted to place their faith in Christ for eternal salvation.
This sermon calls the church to move beyond mere mission-mindedness toward becoming a truly missionary-minded community, grounded in Philippians 2 and 4, where believers actively care for missionaries through moral, prayer, re-entry, communication, logistical, financial, and personal support. It emphasizes that missionaries are not superhuman but real people facing loneliness, trauma, cultural disorientation, and practical challenges, and thus require tangible, relational engagement rather than distant admiration. The church is invited to adopt specific missionaries, pray with specificity, send care packages, assist with re-entry and family needs, and even participate in short-term trips to build authentic relationships. By doing so, the congregation becomes a living expression of Christ's body, supporting both the spiritual mission and the human lives behind it, all while fulfilling the biblical principle that true partnership is marked by mutual encouragement and shared burden.
Redemption in Ruth chapter 2 begins as Ruth humbly steps into God's provision with faith, Boaz responds with kindness and generosity, and Naomi awakens to hope, each choosing to trust God's redemptive plan, setting in motion a legacy of restoration.

An Arm-Twisting Confession. In this episode, we read Martin Luther's Smalcald Articles on the gospel, baptism, and the Lord's Supper. Why did he have to have "his arm twisted" to write them? What is he trying to teach the churches about the gospel? How does the gospel circumscribe and define the Church, worship, and Christian life? Why does something written in the 1530s matter today? We look to answer all these questions and more on this episode of the Banned Books podcast.

Although they were not officially adopted at the meeting, they later became an important part of Lutheran confessional writings included in the Book of Concord.
