The God of the Living | Luke 20:27–40 | Sadducees Ask About the Resurrection Is this world all there is? That’s what the Sadducees thought. They didn’t believe in the resurrection. To them, death was the end. But Jesus says otherwise. We confess that we believe in “the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting,” yet so often we live like this life is all there is. We chase comfort, success, and pleasure as if heaven were only a dream. But Jesus calls out that lie: “You are wrong.” There is more—more to this life, and more life after this life. This world will end, that is true. But that’s not the end. Jesus proved it when He took our “this life is all there is” sins to the cross, died with them, and rose without them. His resurrection is not just His story—it’s ours. He gives us a life that not even death can end, a life grounded in forgiveness, hope, and eternity. In Christ, you can live now like there is a tomorrow—because there is. Not just one tomorrow, but an eternity of them, in Him.-----Worship TimesSunday – 8:00 & 10:45 a.m.Monday – 6:30 p.m. https://trinitysheboygan.orghttps://facebook.com/trinitysheboygan We are a congregation of the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod.

The Big Picture | Rev. 7:9–17 | A Great Multitude from Every Nation All Saints’ Day calls us to see “the big picture” of what God is building—a communion of saints gathered forever around the Lamb. Like the builders of the great Cathedral of Chartres, who labored their whole lives without seeing the completed church, Christians often see only a small part of God’s grand design. Yet faith looks beyond the dust and struggle to the finished work of Christ. John’s vision in Revelation 7 shows a great multitude from every nation standing before the throne—those who have come out of great tribulation and been washed in the blood of the Lamb. These saints did not live easy lives, but through faith in Christ they now rest in His peace. The Beatitudes remind us that true blessing is not found in worldly comfort or success, but in belonging to Jesus, even amid suffering. The hymn For All the Saints proclaims this comfort: the saints are not gone, but at home with the Lord, awaiting the resurrection. The goal of faith is not a “blessed life,” but a blessed death—dying in Christ’s forgiveness and rising to everlasting life. Through Baptism, Absolution, and the Holy Supper, we are already joined to that victory. Here on earth, the Church militant struggles, but it is never alone. At the altar, heaven and earth meet; the saints and angels worship with us in one eternal song: “This is the feast of victory for our God!” Like Michelangelo painting the Sistine Chapel, we see only pieces of the picture now. But when Christ returns and the scaffolding of this world falls away, we will see the masterpiece complete—the redemption of all God’s people. Then we, too, will join the countless host singing, “Alleluia, Alleluia!”-----Worship TimesSunday – 8:00 & 10:45 a.m.Monday – 6:30 p.m. https://trinitysheboygan.orghttps://facebook.com/trinitysheboygan We are a congregation of the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod.

Fear is everywhere—war, disaster, division, disease, loss. But the greatest fear is living without God, because without Him, every other fear is final. Psalm 46 proclaims, “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.” Martin Luther knew fear well. He once trembled before God’s judgment, trying to earn His favor. But when he discovered the Gospel in Romans 3—“all have sinned and are justified by His grace as a gift”—his fear turned to faith. The God who could condemn instead gives Himself to save. That’s the heart of the Reformation: God doesn’t just give blessings; He gives Himself—Christ crucified and risen for you. Through Word and Sacrament, this same Christ gives Himself still. In Baptism He claims you. In Absolution He forgives you. In the Supper He feeds you with His own Body and Blood. In the Divine Service, God serves His people, driving out fear and filling hearts with peace. The angel’s cry in Revelation 14—“Fear God and give Him glory”—is not a threat but comfort. It announces the fall of Satan and the victory of the Lamb. True worship is not what we do for God, but what we receive from Him in faith. Luther’s hymn A Mighty Fortress Is Our God confesses the same truth: the devil rages, the world trembles, but Christ’s Word stands firm. Because Jesus has conquered death, we are free—free to live without fear. So when the world shakes, when judgment seems near, you can say with confidence: “The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.” No fear. Just faith. Just Jesus.-----Worship TimesSunday – 8:00 & 10:45 a.m.Monday – 6:30 p.m. https://trinitysheboygan.orghttps://facebook.com/trinitysheboygan We are a congregation of the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod.

The apostle Paul charges Timothy: “Preach the Word.” These are not casual words—they are commands. Timothy was under orders, and so are your pastors today. The pastor’s duty is not to invent new ideas or follow the latest trends, but to proclaim the promise that Jesus is the Savior of sinners. Pastors discharge their calling when they baptize and absolve, when they feed sinners with Christ’s body and blood according to His own words and command. These are not their words—they are the Lord’s. These are not their gifts—they are the Lord’s gifts, given through them. We are not saved by looking within, but by receiving what comes from outside of us: the preached Word, the water, the bread, and the wine. Through these, the Lord gives His forgiveness, life, and peace. Pastors are under orders to deliver what Christ has already accomplished—for you. You can trust the Word your pastors preach because it’s from the Lord Himself. “Faith comes by hearing, and hearing through the Word of Christ.” (Romans 10:17)-----Worship TimesSunday – 8:00 & 10:45 a.m.Monday – 6:30 p.m. https://trinitysheboygan.orghttps://facebook.com/trinitysheboygan We are a congregation of the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod.

Ten men were healed that day—but only one turned back. The Samaritan leper fell at Jesus’ feet in gratitude, and Jesus said, “Your faith has made you well.” Yet the focus is not on the strength of the man’s faith, but on the One in whom that faith rested. We often turn faith into something we do—as though believing itself earns salvation. But faith saves only because of Christ, who is completely faithful. As Pastor Christopher Esget writes, “Faith doesn’t work if the objective of faith is unreliable.” Doctors fail. Coaches fail. People fail. But Jesus never does. He is faithful when we are not. His words never falter, His promises never break. What He says, He does—every single time. On the cross and in the means of grace, He continues to heal, forgive, and restore. Because even when we are faithless, He remains faithful—for He cannot deny Himself.-----Worship TimesSunday – 8:00 & 10:45 a.m.Monday – 6:30 p.m. https://trinitysheboygan.orghttps://facebook.com/trinitysheboygan We are a congregation of the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod.

Three Little Words | Luke 17:1-10 | Unworthy Servants A little boy once broke his sister’s toy. After whispering, “I’m sorry,” he waited as she thought, then finally replied, “I forgive you.” Those three little words stunned the world when the video went viral. Why? Because forgiveness is rare. Jesus teaches that forgiveness is not a medal we earn but a gift we pass on. We are not “worthy servants” stacking up good works—we are unworthy servants who still hurt and provoke others. Yet Christ forgives us. On the cross He tore sin out by the roots and cast it into the sea. In Baptism, Absolution, and His Supper, He keeps doing this for you. Forgiveness is not our accomplishment. It is the Gospel in action. By the Spirit, we guard and share this treasure: three little words that change everything—“I forgive you.” Which is simply another way of saying, “I love you.”-----Worship TimesSunday – 8:00 & 10:45 a.m.Monday – 6:30 p.m. https://trinitysheboygan.orghttps://facebook.com/trinitysheboygan We are a congregation of the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod.

Three Little Words | Luke 17:1-10 | Unworthy Servants A little boy once broke his sister’s toy. After whispering, “I’m sorry,” he waited as she thought, then finally replied, “I forgive you.” Those three little words stunned the world when the video went viral. Why? Because forgiveness is rare. Jesus teaches that forgiveness is not a medal we earn but a gift we pass on. We are not “worthy servants” stacking up good works—we are unworthy servants who still hurt and provoke others. Yet Christ forgives us. On the cross He tore sin out by the roots and cast it into the sea. In Baptism, Absolution, and His Supper, He keeps doing this for you. Forgiveness is not our accomplishment. It is the Gospel in action. By the Spirit, we guard and share this treasure: three little words that change everything—“I forgive you.” Which is simply another way of saying, “I love you.”-----Worship TimesSunday – 8:00 & 10:45 a.m.Monday – 6:30 p.m. https://trinitysheboygan.orghttps://facebook.com/trinitysheboygan We are a congregation of the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod.

Looks Can Be Deceiving | Luke 16:19–31 | The Rich Man and Lazarus Looks can be deceiving. By all appearances, the rich man in Jesus’ story was “blessed.” He had everything he wanted, lived in luxury, and was admired by others. It seemed as though God approved of his life. Meanwhile, Lazarus appeared “cursed”—homeless, sick, hungry, and ignored. Yet appearances were not the truth. In the end, the one who looked blessed was cursed, and the one who looked cursed was blessed. So how do we know who is truly blessed? Not by what our eyes see or by the world’s opinions, but by what our ears hear. God’s Word tells us the truth. It reveals who we are in Christ—despite appearances, feelings, or the judgments of others. The question is: will we believe what the Word of God says?-----Worship TimesSunday – 8:00 & 10:45 a.m.Monday – 6:30 p.m. https://trinitysheboygan.orghttps://facebook.com/trinitysheboygan We are a congregation of the Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod.

God’s Absurd Generosity! | Luke 16:1–13 | The Parable of the Dishonest Manager Here’s the heart of it all: God Himself is the absurd master. Faced with the tragedy of our sin, He didn’t clutch His wealth. He didn’t demand repayment. He gave His only begotten Son into the flesh to save us from sin, death, and damnation. Jesus is the true steward who didn’t just cut our debts, He paid them in full with His blood. He didn’t just ease our burden; He bore it all. He didn’t just lower our balance; He stamped across the ledger: “It is finished.” The cross is the most absurd act in history. God’s own Son dies for sinners. The guilty go free. The dishonest, the greedy, the selfish, the prayerless, the vain—all forgiven. Absurd. Crazy. Wonderful.
