PASTOR’S CORNER DATED MATERIAL

The peace of the Lord to

There has been so much done here at First Saint Johns in the last seven years. Certainly we give glory to God in all that has been done. As brothers and sisters in Christ and certainly in His Church, we look to follow His will in prayer. Often the Holy Spirit will put things right in front of us and we are often guided by Him, even though we really don’t understand where we’re going, what we’re doing, or how we’re doing it. The Christian faith is one that really doesn’t always provide hard and fast guidelines. Most other belief systems do. It’s the difference between what is referred to as “legalism”, that is everything is essentially spelled out, you follow the dots, do everything exactly right and, hopefully, because there are never any guarantees in legalism, except punishment of course, you get your “Get out of Jail Free” card, go to Nirvana, anyplace that isn’t bad. In Jesus we are saved solely and surely by grace, what you learned in confirmation sola gratia, by grace alone. We are human, we will sin, we will fail, but we have an all loving God, who in Jesus, and only through Jesus are we saved strictly through what Jesus did. Nothing about what we did, didn’t do or just didn’t like. One of the basics that we need to be reminded of on a regular basis. Certainly, that doesn’t mean we sit around all nice in a rigid stasis, where everything is the same. Go back to Genesis 2:5, God is finishing creation and He is now putting the cap on His creation, His crowning achievement, He makes man! ESV Genesis 2:5 When no bush of the field was yet in the land and no small plant of the field had yet sprung up- for the LORD God had not caused it to rain on the land, and there was no man to work the ground, 7 then the LORD God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature. 8 And the LORD God planted a garden in Eden, in the east, and there he put the man whom he had formed. 15 The LORD God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it. God made His creation and then He put us in charge of it in order to maintain it and build on it. Too many people today have this sort of 1960’s perspective that says we should ultimately just end up laying around, eating fruit and well, let’s just say, any other pleasure that’s available, but should avoid any effort on our part. We certainly see way too much of that attitude in our culture today. As Christians that’s not what we’re about. Everyone in the Gospel had vocations; Jesus was a carpenter, Paul was a tentmaker, Peter, John, James, fishermen, Matthew a tax collector. They understood and we understand we weren’t put here to lounge about, and, spoiler alert, we won’t be in the eternal Resurrection. Christians don’t retire, they don’t stop serving. In view of that we are here at First Saint John’s losing some of that edge, about serving, about working for the good of Jesus’ Church and our brothers and sisters. We have so much going on, we are coming to a critical point with WYCO radio, the people who’ve been running things need others to step up and help out. Perhaps you have relatives, friends, people you know who have children and would welcome the opportunity. We have done so much, and the family in Jesus here at First Saint Johns is to be hugely commended and I know all of our members do have areas that they contribute so much to the church in. But we do need help in a lot of areas to build on what’s been done, certainly WYCO radio. This is another part of our stewardship as Christians. I hope that you will consider what else you could be involved in in the ministries that are here. And other people you could ask to be involved in these ministries who aren’t yet a part of the church. You would be doing everyone involved a huge service by stepping out where the Holy Spirit leads you to include others in the amazing ministries being performed here at First Saint John’s.

NOVEMBER 2017 PARISH VISITOR DECEMBER DEADLINE Articles Due November 24th - Friday Mail Date November 29th- Thursday

The harvest time is here. We begin the month of November with All Saints Sunday, November 5. This is the time when we remember all the people that have gone to be with Jesus and have joined all the saints from the past. The main hymn that we sing that day is “For All the Saints”. If you have a hymnal at home the number for the hymn is: Lutheran Service Book # 677; Lutheran Worship # 191; and The Lutheran Hymnal # 463. The words of this hymn can give us comfort as we think of our loved ones that are no longer with us. It can also give us strength as we think of all the trials and tribulations that come our way.

To hear past sermons from

There will not be a sermon that day as were are doing a chancel drama entitled: "Luther Speaks to Our Day." This is part of the 500th Reformation celebration.

Please contact the church office for the form to do electronic transfer.

The first mid-week Advent worship will be on Wednesday, November 29. We will again begin with a light supper at 6:00 P.M. in the Bible class room. Then we will have the service in the same room, as we did last year.

Sunday, November 12's service will be our observance of Veteran's Day, so it will be more patriotic in nature. We ask that those who served in the armed forces and still have their uniforms to please wear them that day. Then on Wednesday, November 22 at 7:00 P.M., we will have our Thanksgiving Eve worship. We will again use the order of worship we used last year: "Of Land and Seasons."

Tanto se ha hecho aquí en primera Saint Johns en los últimos siete años. Ciertamente damos gloria a Dios en todo lo que se ha hecho. Como hermanos y hermanas en Cristo y en su Iglesia, ciertamente esperamos seguir su voluntad en la oración. A menudo el Espíritu Santo pondrá las cosas justo en frente de nosotros, y a menudo somos guiados por él, aunque realmente no entendemos hacia dónde vamos, qué estamos haciendo, o cómo lo estamos haciendo. La fe cristiana es uno que realmente no siempre proporcionan unas directrices estrictas y rápidas. La mayoría de los otros sistemas de creencias. Es la diferencia entre lo que se conoce como "legalismo", que es todo lo que es esencialmente escrito, siga los puntos, hacer todo exactamente a la derecha y, con suerte, porque nunca hay garantías en el legalismo, salvo la sanción por supuesto, obtendrá su "Salir de la cárcel Libre" tarjeta, vaya al Nirvana, lugar que no es malo.

OPPORTUNITIES TO KNOW JESUS

First St. John’s Lutheran Church

Pastor Reverend James A. Driskell

SATURDAY

En Jesús somos salvos únicamente por la gracia, y seguramente lo que has aprendido en la confirmación sola gratia, solamente por la gracia. Somos seres humanos, vamos a pecar, fracasaremos, pero tenemos un Dios amoroso, que en Jesús, y sólo a través de Jesús nos salvó estrictamente por lo que hizo Jesús. Nada de lo que hicimos, no hizo o simplemente no me gusta. Uno de los conceptos básicos que debemos recordar sobre una base regular. Ciertamente, eso no significa que nos sentemos a todos agradables en un rígido estasis, donde todo es lo mismo. Volver a Génesis 2:5, Dios está terminando la creación y que ahora está poniendo el tapón en su creación, su mayor logro, él hace el hombre! La ESV en Génesis 2:5 Cuando no bush del campo estaba aún en la tierra y ninguna planta pequeña del campo todavía no había aparecido por el Señor Dios no había causado la lluvia sobre la tierra, y no había ningún hombre para trabajar la tierra, 7 Entonces Jehová Dios formó al hombre del polvo de la tierra, y sopló en su nariz aliento de vida, y fue el hombre un ser viviente. 8 Y Jehová Dios plantó un huerto en Edén, al oriente, y puso allí al hombre que había formado. 15 Tomó, pues, Jehová Dios al hombre y lo puso en el jardín del Edén para trabajar y mantenerlo. Dios hizo Su creación y luego él nos puso a cargo de la misma, con el fin de mantener y construir sobre ella. Muchas personas hoy en día tienen este tipo de perspectiva de 1960 que dice que debemos finalmente terminan tumbados, comer fruta y bien, digamos, cualquier otro placer que está disponible, pero debe evitar cualquier esfuerzo por nuestra parte. Sin duda vemos demasiado a esa actitud en nuestra cultura actual.

Como cristianos, eso no es lo que somos. Todos en el Evangelio había vocaciones; Jesús era un carpintero, Pablo estaba en una carpa-maker, Pedro, Juan, Santiago, pescadores, Mateo el publicano. Entendieron y entendemos que no se ponga aquí a pasearse, y alerta de spoiler, no pensamos en la resurrección eterna. Los cristianos no se jubilan, no dejan de servir. En vista de que estamos aquí en primera Saint John's perder esa ventaja, por servir, a trabajar por el bien de la Iglesia de Jesús y a nuestros hermanos y hermanas. Tenemos mucho que hacer, estamos llegando a un punto crítico con WYCO radio, la gente que ha estado ejecutando cosas necesitan de otras personas para subir y ayudar. Quizás usted tiene parientes, amigos, personas que saben que tienen hijos, y acogería con beneplácito la oportunidad. Hemos hecho mucho, y la familia de Jesús aquí en primera Saint Johns va a ser muy elogiado y sé que todos nuestros miembros tienen áreas que contribuyen mucho a la iglesia. Pero necesitamos ayuda en muchas áreas para construir sobre lo que se ha hecho, ciertamente WYCO radio. Esta es otra parte de nuestra mayordomía como cristianos. Espero que usted considere lo que podría estar involucrado en los ministerios que están aquí. Y otras personas que podrían pedir que participen en estos ministerios que todavía no son parte de la iglesia. Usted estaría haciendo un gran servicio a todos los implicados por salir donde el Espíritu Santo le lleva a incluir a otros ministerios en la increíble llevando a cabo aquí en primera Saint Johns.

STEWARDSHIP: NOVEMBER 2017 “Our Father in heaven has claimed us as His own. By the shedding of His Son’s blood, by the His death for our sins and His resurrection for our justification, God the Father has received us back into His family. By water combined with His Word, promise, and name, the Holy Spirit has taken up residence in us. We belong to Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He is in us, and we are in Him. And being in Him, all things are ours. In Him, we are richly and abundantly blessed. Our true treasure and wealth is that we belong to the most holy Trinity and everything that is His belongs also to us: righteousness, peace, eternal life. Even our temporal treasures are gifts from His fatherly divine goodness and mercy. We receive our treasures from Him, and thus, as (good stewards of His varied grace,) (1 Peter 4:10) we manage them in such a way that they may be returned to Him. We bring them to Him, hallowed through prayers of thanksgiving and God’s holy Word, as an offering. Thus, all our possessions, as gifts from God, are also offerings to Him, from which we eat to nourish our bodies, share with our family, neighbors, and fellow Christians, with the poor and even our enemies, as holy things given by the holy God. His temporal gifts are blessings to and for us, and bring blessing upon us even as they are pressed into His service for His kingdom and the souls that receive them. Thus we place all that we have into God’s hands, and He never fails to remember us and pours out the fullness of His promises upon us. We give thanks for all that He has done, is doing, and will continue to do. We give thanks by not taking for ourselves, but giving to all even as our heavenly Father has given to us.

ALTAR FLOWER - OPEN DATES

November 12

And may we be all the more diligent in bringing everything that we have received from God to Him, so that He may bless it and employ it for the good of all — even for us. “For to the one who has, more will be given, and he will have an abundance” (Matthew 13:12).
