When we look at the world today, it is easy to focus on global upheaval, conflict, and disaster. But what is our faith perspective on these difficult events? In this week's message on Luke 21:10-15, Jesus’ answer to His disciples' question about the end of the world is less about predicting dates and more about redefining our purpose. Jesus teaches us that the very turmoil and opposition we face will serve as our opportunity to bear witness to His saving grace.

This powerful charge—to proclaim the Gospel to the whole world—is not a specialized task reserved for a few, but the mission of every disciple. Just as the first apostles were commanded to witness, so too are we called to make the proclamation of the Gospel our highest priority. Join us, for an opportunity to understand, how the chaos of the world becomes a unique stage for Christian witness, and be encouraged to step forward and share the hope that is within you.

Liturgist and Preacher: Pastor Bill Engfehr; Reader: Nic Schatte

Walk in Christ - Jul 27 - Seventh Sunday after Pentecost
We reflect on the words of St. Paul in Colossians 2:6–7, where he urges believers to "walk in Christ Jesus"—to live in a way that is rooted, built up, and strengthened in Him. While many today profess faith in God, Paul addresses the Colossian church with a sober reminder: true faith is not just spoken, it is lived. His letter serves both as a pastoral encouragement and a pointed warning—calling the Church to remain steadfast in Christ amid the temptations and pressures of the surrounding culture. As we explore Paul’s message, we consider four essential aspects of what it means to walk in Christ daily. This walk is not aimless or occasional, but continuous and intentional—nourished by a faith that is grounded in the Word of God. In the midst of life’s challenges, it is this kind of deep, Bible-based faith that anchors us, sustains us, and produces lasting joy. Our worship this Sunday will call us to examine whether our actions align with the faith we confess, and to grow in the life-giving strength of Christ, who walks with us each step of the way.
