The mission of our congregation is to reach out with the hope and love of Jesus. As a congregation, we seek to proclaim the Good News of Jesus. We are imperfect people in an imperfect world. Therefore, there is a challenge in the work that we do. We are sinners in our thoughts, words, and deeds. I see so often how I fall short in trusting God for everything. I see how I, too, sin. I relate to the struggle of Paul when he wrote, “I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature. For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. For what I do is not the good I want to do; no, the evil I do not want to do--this I keep on doing.” (Romans 7:15-19 NIV) How true for Paul and
his life and for me and my life. I am sure that you, too, can relate. For all of us, the hope that is ours is heard in how Paul concludes this section, “What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? Thanks be to God-through Jesus Christ is the one who won our
forgiveness of sins and eternal life for us.
What a joy to celebrate this Easter season recalling the victory that was won for us on the cross and in the glorious resurrection! It is this message that we take to the world. We have Christ’s command to go and preach. In Matthew, we hear, “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. And
surely, I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”
(Matthew 28:19-20 NIV)
Yes, we proclaim the message of Jesus as we live our lives and reach out with His love. I am thankful for our LCMC family where together we seek to live the Great Commission
of Jesus as we are committed to the Word of God and the Lutheran Confessions. We are partnering with about 1000 congregations and thousands of people around world to proclaim Christ as Lord and Savior.Yes, we walk together as brothers and sisters in Christ, sharing the Good News of His resurrection as we walk together and reach out with the love of Jesus Christ. As you celebrate this Easter season again, I pray that you once again commit yourself to serving the Risen Christ and reach out with His love through your life. I also pray that you seek to faithfully attend and support the work of Christ through His Church.
In Christ,
Pastor Jeffrey D. Geske
