A Message from Pastor Sell
Independence and Freedom Needs Forgiveness in Christ
Why all the fireworks? Because the US celebrates her freedom from kings and dictators. Freedom doesn't mean disorder, but it means freedom to bring order in one's personal life. Lutherans give thanks to God for the purpose of civil governments. Governments bring order to the community so that we can preach the gospel of the Holy Trinity through the work of Jesus Christ. 
The Lord still governs civil authorities. You are still a saint through the blood of Christ. You are still a member of the Body of Christ. You are still secure into eternity because the work of the Holy Spirit never ceases. You are a beloved child of the Father.
We've been shook up in the last several months - from Covid to riots. We have learned to say thank you to the police officer. We've learned to be thankful for the medical community. We have learned to focus on what is important to the church - faithfulness to Christ and His forgiving work in the cross.
As you begin your fourth of July gatherings - all be it 6 feet apart - take a moment to thank God for as much order as we do have in the U.S. Pray for our civil leaders and our local police. Pray for wisdom to remember the evil of Marxism and work against it. 
Most importantly pray for forgiveness of your sin and give thanks for Jesus Christ. Christ is the God who entered this sinful chaotic world to pay for all of our sins. He will deliver you from sin, from chaos and from all uncertainty. The purpose of the church has never changed it is and always be "to forgiven sins" and deliver us from evil. 

In Christ,
Pr. Mark Sell
