313. Facing Temptation Alone (Matthew 4:1-11) 22.02.2026 17:44

Jesus faced temptation so you never would be alone in your temptation. This is how much He cares for you. Evil on the other hand, does not care. It cares about itself and its own interests, but does not care about you or your God. It projects it's own weakness and intent onto God as it tempts you. Discover how much the Savior cares for you and is with you as He faces temptation alone.

We can always use morelight. When reading or working, we couldalways use more light. Darkness is notthe opposite of light, it is the absence of light. You can't buy a flashlight that projectsdarkness. You turn the flashlight off to get darkness. The world we live in needs morelight. It is dark in its sins. What makes sin dark? It is the absence of God. We cannot spiritually produceligh...

293. I will Treasure My Church Membership as a Gift 13.10.2025 14:14

As Lutherans, we believe, teach, and confess that our salvation is a gift from God, not a something that is owed us. We may forget that this gift includes being a part of the invisible Christian church and a local church. When we view our membership as a gift we will be better prepared to serve in joy and thankfulness

The church is diverse and is filled with people of different gifts and abilities. Pray for the leaders of your church; the volunteers who serve in many ways often overlooked, the leaders who give time to planning and maintaining ministry, the musicians and singers who work hard to bless our services with music, the Sunday School teachers who prepare and teach our kids, to the pastor who “pastors”...

290. I Will Not Let My Church Be About My Preferences and Desires Philippians 2:5 21.09.2025 17:43

The body of Christ is blessed with diversity. Each of us have different gifts, talents, and opinions. If each is only concerned about getting their way and having their opinions met, peace, harmony and working together will be impossible. Through Jesus and his humility, we can see how we can put others first.https://immanuelshirley.com/
