From the Pastor
Today’s Thought 7/25 ![]()
Samuel said, “Although you were once small in your own eyes, did you not become the head of the tribes of Israel? The LORD anointed you king over Israel. 1 Sam 15:17![]()

Saul’s life could be described as a, “rags to riches” story. From the smallest tribe of Israel, Benjamin, and from a unknown family, Saul rose to the position of King of Israel. None of this could he take credit for, it was God who set him apart and elevated him to such a high position. Sounds a lot like you and I doesn’t it? We were born in sin, with little renown that would have set us apart from anyone or anything. Yet through the waters of Holy Baptism, and the Word, God elevated us to the position of being a child of God. An heir of heavenly glory, clothed with the robe of Christ’s righteousness. This truly is a rags to riches story and it’s our story on account of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection.![]()
Prayer: Gracious Lord and Savior, you have raised me up and placed your robe of righteousness on him. I am truly and eternally blessed. AMEN
Our Mission
To fulfill the Great Commission
In His Great Commission, Christ himself instructed us to go out among the world and teach the saving truth exactly as He told us and to baptize in His Triune Name. He has called to all of us, who once lived in the darkness of unbelief, to follow Him and to learn to live anew.
Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.
Mattew 28:19–20
