From Woe Is Me To Abba Father

Contributed by Michael Blitz on May 30, 2026

Isaiah’s cry of “Woe is me” becomes the Christian’s cry of “Abba, Father” through the saving work of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

From Woe is Me to Abba Father Good MORNING. There are moments when we suddenly become aware we’re completely out of place like when you walk into a room of experts talking about things know nothing about, and within 30 seconds you know you are in over your head. I felt that way my freshman year at ...read more

Looking Back Twice To See Acts 2

Contributed by Michael Blitz on May 23, 2026

Looking Back Twice to See Acts 2 Good MORNING. Today we come to the end of the Easter season with the great Feast of Pentecost, also known as Whitsunday.

Our Ascended Prophet Priest And King

Contributed by Michael Blitz on May 16, 2026

The Ascension of Christ shows how Jesus fulfills the offices of Prophet, Priest and King

One of the hardest parts of reading through the Bible in a year hits right around mid-Exodus into Leviticus. Page after page of priestly garments, ritual washings, bloody sacrifices, and endless instructions for the Tabernacle. I’ve heard people joke that February is the killer month in a ...read more

Doers, Not Just Hearers

Contributed by Michael Blitz on May 10, 2026

James 1:22-25 teaches us about moving beyond merely hearing God’s Word and learning to live it out through a faith transformed by Christ.

Being a Doer of the Word, Not Just a Hearer Good MORNING. I want to start today by taking us back over a hundred years as a young man steps into a busy office to apply to be a Morse Code operator. The room buzzed with noise, the loudest being the constant clack-clack-clack of a telegraph machine. A ...read more

I Know That My Redeemer Lives

Contributed by Michael Blitz on May 4, 2026

When suffering breaks our sense of control, the story of Job leads us from self-reliance to grace, where we discover that our Redeemer lives and God wants not just our works, but us.

I Know That My Redeemer Lives There’s a joke that if you ever think you’re having a bad day, read the Book of Job. Whatever your problems are, they’ll start to feel a little smaller in comparison. Job is oddly one of the most familiar figures from Scripture, even though some of what people think ...read more

From Dust To Glory

Contributed by Michael Blitz on Apr 25, 2026

From Dust to Glory Good Morning. Today, we’re walking through our epistle lesson, looking at the resurrection, with the perspective on some of the problems early Christians had in explaining it to the Pagan world.

The Shepherd Who Comes For His Sheep

Contributed by Michael Blitz on Apr 19, 2026

On Good Shepherd Sunday, we see that Jesus is not only our guide but the One who seeks us, calls us by name, and lays down His life to bring us safely home.

The Shepherd Who Comes for His Sheep Good Morning. Today, Scripture gives us one of the most important images of who God is, the Good Shepherd. From Ezekiel to Psalm 23, from Peter to the words of Jesus, God speaks to us as a Shepherd speaks to sheep. Sometimes as sheep safely home, and sometimes ...read more

Come And See, Then Go And Tell

Contributed by Michael Blitz on Apr 5, 2026

This Easter message shows how the empty tomb proves Jesus’ victory over sin and death, inviting us to come and see what God has done and then go and tell others the hope that changes everything.

Come and See, Then Go and Tell! Good MORNING, and Happy Resurrection Day! One wonderful thing about Easter is that it meets us exactly where we are. Not where we pretend to be, not where we wish we were, but where we actually are. Some of us come in joyful. Some come tired from getting up so early. ...read more

From Hosanna To The Cross

Contributed by Michael Blitz on Mar 29, 2026

From shouts of “Hosanna” to cries of “Crucify Him,” this sermon reveals how Christ’s suffering fulfilled God’s plan, exposed our sin, and secured our salvation, calling us to stand firm in faith without fear or turning back.

Good MORNING. When Jesus entered the city, We heard the cry Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord. Our King had arrived. There was excitement, hope, expectation. By Friday, many of those same voices were crying out, “Crucify Him.” The King they welcomed… became the one they rejected. And ...read more

No Neutral Ground

Contributed by Michael Blitz on Mar 22, 2026

Jesus confronts us with His bold claim to be God, leaving us with no neutral ground, we either trust Him as Lord or reject Him entirely.

No Neutral Ground Good Morning. Most people are comfortable with Jesus, as long as He stays in a certain place. A teacher. A helper. A moral guide. But in today’s Gospel, Jesus destroys that comfort. Believe it or not, even from the very beginning, Jesus Mission and purpose has confused and ...read more

The Boneyard

Contributed by Michael Blitz on Mar 17, 2026

In In Ezekiel’s vision of the valley of dry bones, God reveals that even when hope seems dead, His Word and Spirit still bring life where none seemed possible.

GOOD MORNING. Our Ezekiel passage is probably the only Bible lesson that takes place completely in a Graveyard. My grandson Noah would love it unless he was actually there, then he would be terrified. We begin… The hand of the Lord was upon me, and he brought me out in the Spirit of the Lord and ...read more

The Stronger Man

Contributed by Michael Blitz on Mar 7, 2026

In Luke 11, Jesus casts out a demon and reveals a deeper truth about the spiritual battle taking place in the world. Some accuse Him of working by the power of evil, while others demand more signs before they will believe.

Good MORNING. Have you ever wondered what it would have been like to see Jesus in person? We sometimes imagine that if we could travel back in time, everyone around him would be filled with awe, listening carefully to every word and celebrating every miracle. But the Gospels show us something very ...read more

Strength In The Soil

Contributed by Michael Blitz on Feb 8, 2026

Strength in the Soil. This morning, we look at St. Paul shows his weaknesses as an opportunity for Christ's Strength, and how it reflects into the Parable of the Sower.

Good MORNING. We’re looking this morning at the call to share God’s Word, as well as show his Love in works of mercy, as found in our Gospel, and our epistle this morning. It would really warm a pastor’s heart if you remember some of Paul’s problems with the Corinthians that led to 2nd Corinthians, ...read more

Running For What Lasts

Contributed by Michael Blitz on Feb 1, 2026

This morning we look at how St. Paul calls us to run the race with eternal purpose, drawing lessons from the Ancient games of Corinth.

Running for What Lasts GOOD MORNING. We have a great Gospel lesson this morning. But I spent a whole hour on very recently at our Wednesday Night Bible Study. However, there are two things I want to grab from it before we jump to our Epistle lesson this morning. First, the parable’s main point is ...read more

The Wedding Feast

Contributed by Michael Blitz on Jan 25, 2026

At the wedding in Cana, Jesus turns water into wine—and shows us how God transforms emptiness into joy. When the wine of life runs out, faith begins with obedience, and what God gives next is always better than before.

Wedding Feast Epiphany Season is an opportunity to reflect on the glory our savior reveals to the world not only in the Incarnation at Christmas, but in His whole life and ministry. Each of our reading in this Epiphany season is about that same shining forth, the revelation of God’s glory in ...read more
