Sunday Bible Study – March 29, 2026 Grace Lutheran Church – Little Rock, Arkansas Elijah stands alone on Mount Carmel, confronting a nation divided between the Lord and Baal. While hundreds cry out, cut themselves, and plead for a response, Scripture repeats the verdict: no voice, no answer, no attention. This study traces the contrast between false worship and the living God—who answers not for s...

Palm Sunday reveals a hard truth: many want to see Jesus—but not as He is. In John 12, Christ declares that His glory is the cross, like a grain of wheat that must fall and die to bear fruit. Will we follow the signs to what they mean, or stop at what impresses us? To see Jesus rightly is to see His suffering as glory—and to follow Him in repentance, faith, and new life. Sunday Worship – March 29,...

In this sermon, Rev. David Buchs explores St. Paul’s teaching in Romans 6: repentance is not mere reform, but death and resurrection. Drawing on the Exodus, the Flood, and the Red Sea, this message shows why the Christian life is a continual return to baptism—where the old Adam is drowned and a new man rises. Israel’s longing for Egypt becomes a mirror for the divided human heart: set free, yet st...

In this Bible study, Rev. David Buchs walks through Psalm 113 and the opening of Elijah’s ministry (1 Kings 17) , contrasting the Lord with false gods like Baal and modern idols such as money. God is not like the false gods that demand everything and give nothing. He raises the poor, provides for the needy, and supplies what He commands . In contrast, idols like mammon promise satisfaction but nev...

What you sacrifice reveals what you truly believe. In this sermon on Genesis 22 (Abraham and Isaac) , we see that faith is not abstract—it is shown in devotion and sacrifice. Every person gives their time, attention, money, and even their family to something. That reveals what they fear, love, and trust. False gods—success, comfort, reputation—accept sacrifice but destroy what is given. But the tr...

Rev. David Buchs reflects on John the Baptist’s command to “bear fruit in keeping with repentance,” showing how repentance is not merely sorrow over sin but a complete turning of the heart: away from self-preservation, fear, and hoarding, and toward the concrete needs of one’s neighbor. Beginning with John’s image of trees and fruit, this sermon traces how Scripture describes the repentant life as...

In this sermon, Rev. David Buchs reflects on the testing of faith through the wilderness bread of Exodus and the feeding of the five thousand in John 6. Faith always clings to something—but sinful man instinctively grabs what cannot hold: comfort, control, money, strength, and visible security. Through Israel’s manna, Philip’s calculations, and the disciples’ empty hands, Christ teaches that the d...

In this Sunday Bible study, Rev. David Buchs begins with Psalm 66, tracing how God tests His people through burden, fire, and water—not to destroy them, but to refine them like silver. The image of being caught in a net becomes a vivid picture of Lent itself: every person is caught by someone, either in the snares of the devil or in the saving net of the Lord. The study then turns to catechesis, a...

In this sermon, Rev. David Buchs reflects on David after repentance: forgiven by God, yet still disciplined by the Lord who loves His children. Through the death of David’s child, Scripture confronts the seriousness of sin, the mystery of suffering, and the way God uses even painful crosses to teach humility, faith, and trust. The sermon finally leads to Christ, the true Son who receives disciplin...
