  • Reformation Sunday

    All Hallows Eve is October 31, but for us Lutherans, we better know that day as Reformation Day, for on this date Martin Luther nailed his 95 thesis to the door of the All Saints’ Church in Wittenberg, Saxony.

  • Angelic Saints?

    Question: Why is the archangel Michael called a saint? I thought only people were saints. Reply: Good question. The word saint simply means holy one. The English word “saint” comes from the Latin word sanctus, which means “holy” or “set apart.” Many of us refer to the hymn, “Holy, holy, holy” as the Santus because…

  • Pastor Patrick’s Perspective: November 2025

    The first of November is All Saints Day. Since this date is in the middle of the week, Trinity will be observing All Saints on the following Sunday, the sixth of November. All Saints Day is a lesser festival in the Lutheran tradition. The basic festival is the Lord’s Day, which is the weekly observance…

    For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery. Galatians 5:1 ESV I’ve been thinking about our freedom in Christ. It is a great gift to be free from the bondage of sin. This freedom is God’s gift through the Jesus Christ, for it…

That difference—between decision and gift—gets…

  • Pastor Patrick’s Perspective, Summer 2025

    Read by the Word of God “For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked…

  • Pastor Patrick’s Perspective: July 2025

    Various issues prevent people from hearing the good news of Jesus Christ. Some are intellectual issues that block belief. The problem of suffering is one. The problem of suffering has been expressed in various ways. If God is all powerful, why does suffering exist? The problem goes back to the ancient Greek philosophers and the…

    Summertime 1Blessed is he whose transgression is forgiven,Whose sin is covered.3When I kept silent, my bones grew oldThrough my groaning all the day long.4For day and night Your hand was heavy upon me;My vitality was turned into the drought of summer.5I acknowledged my sin to You,And my iniquity I have not hidden.I said, “I will…
