- October 13 service
Brothers and sisters, greetings to you in the name of our Savior, Jesus, who has brought the light of the gospel to our world darkened by sin. I encourage you to be in bible study and worship on Sunday to hear more about what God has done for you through Jesus the Christ. His word is the lamp that guides our steps along the path to eternal life.
We have designated this coming Sunday October 13 as a day to especially recognize God’s work done through the ladies’ auxiliary Lutheran Women Missionary League (LWML).
Sunday, October 13 we will be following the liturgy of Divine Service Setting One beginning on page 151 in the LSB hymnal. As part of our ongoing catechetical study, we will also recite commandments 7 through 10 with Luther’s explanation for each of them.
.Hymns chosen for the day are #565 Thy Works, Not Mine, O Lord; #730 What is the World to Me; and #629 What is This Bread, and a hymn that highlights a response of service to Jesus, Serve the Lord with Gladness, sung to the tune of ‘Onward Christian Soldiers’.
Scripture texts assigned to the day are Psalm 90:12-17; Amos 5:6-7, 10-15; Hebrews 3:12-19; and Mark 10:17-22. Christianity can be described as trusting Jesus Christ for eternal life and forgiveness from sin. Scripture repeatedly makes the point that faith is not mere lip service, but includes sincerely following Jesus in the way we think, act, and speak. Said another way, a Christian is someone who, by the power and work of the Holy Spirit through the Word of God, believes in and confesses Jesus as Savior and Lord. To demonstrate faith in Jesus, Scriptures instruct us to serve our neighbor with humility and love. To clarify, good works don’t save us. Rather, good works are a proper response expressing trust, thanksgiving, and praise toward Jesus who has saved us. Several of the lessons read Sunday give examples of this proper response.
The heading of Psalm 90 reports it is a prayer of Moses, the man of God who was used to lead Israel out of slavery in Egypt. Moses begins the psalm by describing God’s creative power, a power that He would be justified in using against each of us to punish us for our sin. It is foolish and deadly to ignore God’ss hatred of sin. So Moses sets an example for us, praying God to teach us to number our days, to consider our sinful condition and the eternal danger we are in. From this posture of humble confession, fearing God and recognizing our need for His pity, grace, ad forgiveness, we gain a heart of wisdom. With wise hearts, we ask God to demonstrate His gracious power among us, to not give us the punishment we deserve, but instead to pour out His favor on us and to satisfy us with His steadfast love. Our earthly lives are brief. We should live each day fulfilling our responsibilities and enjoying the blessings God has granted us, remembering that He is our judge and also our Savior. Pray that God would guide your ways.
In Amos Chapter 5, God speaks through the prophet, criticizing His people for ignoring Him. They take short cuts in worshipping Him. they mistreat their neighbors. They are deceitful and dishonest because they don’t think God is watching or listening (or they no longer care what God thinks of them). They resent God and complain against Him for seeming to stifle the fun in their lives. God threatens judgment against them, and urges them to instead seek good, avoid evil, and lift justly with a true heart. In other words, God is urging them to live in a way that expresses His will and character. Seek the Lord and live. God is merciful to those who trust in Him.
The epistle lesson from Hebrews 3 recalls an event from Israel’s past recorded in the Old Testament book, Numbers Chapter 14. After God had released the tribes of Israel from slavery in Egypt, they had reached the land God had promised them. Spies were sent in to gather information on the people God would help them displace. When the spies returned with reports of giants in the land, the Israelites were frightened. Rather than trusting God, they complained and refused to enter the land. They said they would prefer to return to Egypt and live in slavery rather than receive the freedom God was offering them. So as punishment, God sent them back out into the wilderness for forty more years, time for most of that unbelieving generation to pass away. Through the writer of Hebrews, God warns his readers not to harden their hearts or fall into the same unbelief. Unbelief separates us from God. Unbelief leads to eternal death. So we should trust Jesus and His words. We share in Christ and His blessings if we remain confident in Him. O Holy Spirit, help us to believe in Jesus!
In the gospel lesson from Mark 10, a man seeks to gain eternal life. Jesus sees that the man has a misplaced trust in earthly things and his own abilities. When Jesus recites several of the ten commandments, the man states that he has always kept the law. With loving concern, Jesus instructs the man to do one more thing—sell all his possessions and give the proceeds to the poor. Hearing this, the man went away disheartened and sad. The indication is that he loved his possessions and could not let go of them. Possessions might be considered a blessing from God. But we should all be aware that possessions can displace God in our lives, that is, we might end up serving our possessions, or trusting in our possessions, rather than serving and trusting Jesus. Jesus is urging His followers to consider their priorities and values. Worldly material things are temporary. Jesus’s blessings are eternal. Money is the currency of this world. Even so, it is foolish to dedicate our lives to material things we cannot keep. Rather we should turn our attention to those heavenly eternal things we cannot lose.
COLLECT: Lord Jesus Christ, Your grace always surrounds us, preceding and following us wherever we go. Help us to forsake all trust in earthly gain and to find in You our heavenly treasure; for You live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

- October 6 service and other news
Brothers and sisters, greetings to you in the name of our Savior, Jesus. By His death and resurrection you have been reconciled to God, and heaven has been opened to you. God truly loves you. He has made a commitment to you. I encourage you to be in bible study and worship on Sunday to hear more about what God has done for you through Jesus the Christ.
If you don’t have plans for lunch Saturday October 12th, check out the spaghetti fundraiser put on by the Brookshire area Lions’ Club to be held at the Pattison Fire station from 12 noon-3 pm.
We have designated October 13 as a day to especially recognize God’s work done through the ladies’ auxiliary Lutheran Women Missionary Group (LWML).
Sunday, October 6 we will be following the liturgy of Divine Service Setting One beginning on page 151 in the LSB hymnal. As part of our ongoing catechetical study, we will also recite commandments 4 through 6 with Luther’s explanation for each of them
Hymns chosen for the day are #553 O Christ, Our hope, Our Hearts Desire; #562 All Mankind Fell in Adam’s Fall; #598 Once in the Blest Baptismal Waters; and #860 Gracious Savior, Grant Your Blessing (stanzas 2 and 5).
Scripture texts assigned to the day are Psalm 128:1-6; Genesis 2:18-25; Hebrews 2:1-13; and Mark 10:2-26.
The introduction to Psalm 126 indicates it is a song of ascents, a song that pilgrims would sing climbing the hills toward Jerusalem, or the steps leading up to the temple to worship. The words of the psalm recount a time of restoration, perhaps remembering an earlier generation’s return from exile in Babylon. Memories of very sad and difficult times are replaced by celebration, joy, and laughter. The worshipping pilgrims recognize that it is God who caused the rescue. This same rescuing God promises to save the souls of all those who worship Him. Worship is a time for you to receive, to hear God’s promises again, to be reminded that God keeps each of His promises. He brings us through sadness to times of joy. In the midst of troubles all around us, we too cry out that God would restore us. Ultimately, God will bring you through death to the celebration of heaven. This is the sort of joy people dream about. But it is not fantasy. God has accomplished this very thing for you through His Son Jesus. He has said it, and He will do it.
The Old Testament lesson from Genesis 2 directs our thoughts to the days of creation. God took a rib from the Man, Adam, and fashioned for him a companion, helper, and friend, the first woman, Eve. God united them to become one flesh, establishing the institution of marriage and the basic building block of family and society. Before the Fall into sin this was a perfect union; they served with mutual respect and love. As God has revealed, the Fall into sin ruined this relationship of unity. Husband and wife do not honor, love, or serve each other as they ought to. Marriage that is supposed to be between a man and a woman has been redefined and distorted. Men and women participate in sexual acts without keeping the vows and commitments of marriage. Everyday there are marriages that end up in divorce. These are the responses of sinful hearts. We have much to confess to God. In various ways we have abused God’s gifts of marriage and sexuality. Repent, turn to Jesus in faith, and take heart. He has died to forgive every sin, even sins against marriage. Jesus has kept His commitment to us, even though we so often fail in commitment to Him.
We are not sure of the identity of the human writer of the epistle to the Hebrews. The writer of the epistle makes a series of comparisons between Jesus and objects connected to Old Testament ritual. In each case Jesus is far superior. It can bs shown that Jesus is the fulfillment of what the Old Testament object merely foreshadowed. Sunday’s lesson from Hebrews 2:1-13 compares Jesus to angels. Angels are created beings. Jesus is uncreated, and actually the angels’ Creator. Angels are powerful spirit beings. But they are subject to Jesus’s reign. Jesus is in control of all things. Even so, for a little while He lowered Himself, becoming a man and a servant to all men, women, and children, giving Himself up as a bloody, dying, sacrifice on the cross to atone for our sin. The almighty Son of God now calls you His brother (and sister) and will share His heavenly inheritance with you. Angels cannot save you. There is no need to worship them. But Jesus has saved you, and through baptism makes you a member of His family. There are many reasons to worship Him. Pay attention to Jesus so you don’t drift away on the path to eternal destruction.
In the gospel lesson, Jesus is confronted by Pharisees who mean to test Him. Jesus is ministering in the region of Perea overseen by Tetrarch Herod Antipas. You may remember that it was this member of the Herod royal family who ordered John the Baptist to be put to death for criticizing the ruler’s adulterous marriage to his brother’s wife. The Pharisees’ test asks about marriage and divorce, perhaps to see if Jesus would also get in trouble for criticizing Herod.
Jesus gives instruction about marriage and divorce. He doesn’t rely on secular advice or common practice. Instead, He goes to the beginning, referencing the institution of marriage in the creation and unity of Adam and Eve. Marriage becomes an object lesson for the sort of greater love and commitment Jesus has demonstrated to us, His Church. Underlying Jesus’ instruction is the warning against hardness of heart which challenges God’s will, and is continually looking for loopholes, exceptions, and ways to avoid love and commitment. In contrast to hardness of heart, Jesus welcomes young children—not because they have any sort of innocence, but because they represent weakness and need and dependence on others. Rather than demanding God do what we want, the way we want it done, we ought to be thankful for God’s gifts including marriage and our spouse and family.
COLLECT: Merciful Father, Your patience and loving-kindness toward us have no end. Grant that by Your Holy Spirit we may always think and do those things that are pleasing in Your sight; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord and Savior, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
Please contact me if you have prayer requests, questions about Sunday’s lessons, guilt over divorce, or troubles in your marriage. God bless you. Pastor Boster
- September 22
Brothers and sisters, greetings in the name of our Savior Jesus. Remember that you are loved by God, and redeemed from sin by the blood of Jesus. I encourage you to be in bible study and worship on Sunday to hear more about what God has done for you.
Sunday, September 22 we will be following the liturgy of Divine Service Setting One beginning on page 151 in the LSB hymnal. As part of our ongoing catechetical study, we will also recite the third article of the Apostles Creed regarding the work of the Holy Spirit, and Luther’s explanation.
Hymns chosen for the day are #915 Today Your Mercy Calls Us; 850 O God of Mercy, God of Might; # 610 Lord Jesus Think On Me; and #698 May We Thy Precepts, Lord, Fulfill .
Scripture texts assigned to the day are Psalm 54:1-7; Jeremiah 11:18-20; James 3:13-4:10; and Mark 9:30-37.
The introduction to Psalm 54 says the psalm is a maskil of David. It is unclear what the term ‘maskil’ means. It is related to other terms indicating style or type of accompaniment. Some scholars suggest maskils generally highlight some type of special wisdom or insight about God. The introduction to the psalm also says the psalm was written as a follow-up to the Ziphite betrayal of David (1 Samuel 23:15-24 and 26:1). Envious of David’s reputation as national hero, King Saul plotted several times to kill him. To escape, David fled to the desert hill country south of Jerusalem, near the city of Ziph. In an apparent attempt to win Saul’s favor, the Ziphites alerted him as to where David was hiding. Saul pursued David. The two and their troops nearly met, unknowingly passing by each other on opposite sides of a hill, when suddenly a messenger called Saul back north, alerting him that Philistines were attacking in other parts of the country. David recognized God as his protector. The place became known as Sela Hammahlekoth ( translated as “Slippery Rock” or “Divided Rock” or “Rock of Escape”). In Psalm 54, David prays that God would save him from evil men, acknowledging that God is the helper and upholder of life. God would ultimately give David victory over his enemies. In a similar way God defends us from evil. As St. Paul reminds us in Ephesians 6, our struggle is not really against flesh and blood enemies, but against spiritual forces of the devil. Trusting God’s promises we should follow David’s example, praying to God, recognizing His Son as our Shield and Deliverer from the devil, and thanking Him for protection every day.
In Chapter 11 of Jeremiah, God instructs the prophet to proclaim the approaching destruction of Judah which is His judgment against the people’s iniquity. They had refused to listen to Him, instead following after false gods. Then God warns Jeremiah that his neighbors would respond by trying to kill him in an attempt to silence God’s message. They wrongly assumed that if Jeremiah was gone, God’s Word would also be gone. Their attitude was that God had no right to impose His will on them. Recognizing his vulnerability before the threatening crowds, Jeremiah meekly says that he is like a lamb led to slaughter. And he prays that God would vindicate him, to defend him and clear him from all accusation and blame. This imagery of a lamb led to slaughter would be applied to Jesus centuries later as the innocent son of God is falsely accused, judged, and hung on a cross. Jesus rose from the dead. In His death and resurrection Jesus demonstrates that He had come to vindicate Jeremiah and you and all of God’s elect. He has rescued us from the judgment and destruction our arrogance and iniquity deserve. Praise God that He has remained committed to our cause.
The writer of the New Testament book of James was the half-brother of Jesus. After Jesus’ death and resurrection James became a believer and key leader in the Christian congregation of Jerusalem. In the verses we will read Sunday, James rebukes those who quarrel and live following earthly passions. He gives God’s instruction as how we should treat one another– speaking the truth while avoiding jealousy, selfishness, conflict, and pursuing worldly desires. Instead, we Christians should be humble, gentle, peaceable, and merciful (read the passage for the full list of instructions). These attitudes are the attitudes demonstrated by Jesus, so should also be evident in the lives of those redeemed by Him. O Holy Spirit, help us to avoid worldly passions, and strengthen and direct us that we might instead live as examples of Jesus’ love.
In the gospel reading from St. Mark’s account of the gospel, Jesus for the second time tells his disciples of His impending death and resurrection in Jerusalem. How would you react to that news? In his Gospel account, Mark regularly depicts the disciples as not quite ‘getting it’, missing the impact of what Jesus is telling them. They didn’t understand, and were afraid to ask. As the disciples consider Jesus’ approaching death, they begin to argue over who of them will be greatest. (The implication of their argument is that they would all be great, but some would be ‘more great’). Jesus uses the opportunity to correct and teach them (and each of us) that life in His kingdom involves humility and servanthood, not superior status, self-aggrandizing, or dominance. In serving Jesus, we all become first. As a very real demonstration of this attitude, Jesus welcomes a young child who would need to be cared for, with no community status, no ability to repay, nothing that would have helped Jesus. In a similar way and with a similar attitude, “in Jesus’ name” we should serve the meek and needy without partiality or sense of superiority. We serve God by serving our neighbor, even those who appear insignificant. We serve because Jesus served us. Jesus ultimately served by giving up His life for you, paying for your sins so that you would be reconciled to God. This is why God sent him into the world, that you would be restored to Him forever.
COLLECT: Almighty God, heavenly Father, Your strength is made perfect in weakness. Grant us humility and childlike faith that we may please You in both will and deed; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord and Savior, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
Please let me know if you have any prayer requests or questions about Sunday’s Scripture readings. God bless you. Pastor Boster
- September 15 service
Brothers and sisters, greetings in the name of our Savior Jesus. I encourage you to be in bible study and worship on Sunday. God’s word commands and encourages His people to assemble to hear His Word and receive His forgiveness.
Sunday, September 15 we will be following the liturgy of Divine Service Setting One beginning on page 151 in the LSB hymnal. As part of our ongoing catechetical study, we will also recite the second article of the Apostles Creed regarding Christ, and Luther’s explanation.
Hymns chosen for the day are #907 God Himself is Present; #849 Praise the One Who Breaks the Darkness; #620 Jesus Comes Today With Healing; and #559 O How Great is Your Compassion.
Scripture texts assigned to the day are Psalm 116:1-9; Isaiah 50:4-10; James 3:1-12 and Mark 9:14-29.
Psalm 116 is a psalm that would have been used in conducting the annual Passover remembrance. There are phrases that would remind participants of the exodus account, God freeing His people from slavery in Egypt. There are also several phrases that are prophetic, connecting the psalm to the yet unborn Messiah, Jesus, and the abuse and suffering He would endure for us sinners to set us free from God’s condemnation. The psalmist praises God for hearing the cries of His servants and delivering them. Jesus was sent into the world to be your substitute, undergoing the punishment you and I deserve for our disobedience toward God. By His death and resurrection, Jesus has delivered you from eternal death. Let us join the psalmist (and the Messiah) in praising God while we await the day we are taken to the heavenly land of the ever-living.
In Isaiah 50, the prophet speaks the words of a suffering servant. While the words in many ways describe the abuse Isaiah underwent, they are also prophetic, pointing to the abuse Jesus endured for us sinners. For this Sunday we might pay extra attention to verses 4 and 5. The verses refer to the ear and the tongue, that the servant has heard and been taught by God’s Word, and in response speaks as one taught. He knows the will of God because he learned it from God and His word, and now he is able to tell others as well. We too should listen to God’s word that we would know His will. While our knowledge is still hazy this side of heaven, the Holy Spirit enlightens us to know the source and the way of eternal salvation. The Spirit also enable and empowers us now to be Christ’s witnesses. The world is not an easy place to speak about Jesus, our Savior. The enemies of the Church will abuse us, the servants of Jesus, even as they abused Him, our Master. Jesus did not waiver from His mission. He endured the shame of the cross, and overcame the grave, that we could share in His victory and glory. Let us remain steadfast as we witness to His saving message.
The writer of the New Testament book of James was the half-brother of Jesus. After Jesus’ death and resurrection James became a believer and key leader in the Christian congregation of Jerusalem. In Chapter 3, James encourages Christians to demonstrate their faith in the way they live and talk. In the verses we will read Sunday, James warns each of us regarding the use of our tongue. The tongue is small, but it is powerful. We can speak truth; we often speak lies. Our words can build up people; sadly, these same tongues also tear people down. We can use our tongues to sing praises to God and say loving things to our neighbor; we also often use our tongue to curse and spew hatred that divides us, and to spread gossip that ruins reputations and relationships. James urges us Christians to bridle our tongue, and get our speech under control and set in a positive direction. As you focus on Jesus’ life-giving words recorded in Scripture for you, the sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit will help and guide you in this difficult task.
The events recorded in the gospel account of St. Mark Chapter 9 occurred very soon after Jesus’ transfiguration. Returning from time on the mountain, Jesus comes upon a crowd arguing with religious scribes, and His disciples nearby thoroughly frustrated. A man tells Jesus that the cause of the ruckus is that his son has an evil spirit that causes the boy to be thrown to the ground convulsing and foaming at the mouth. He had asked Jesus’ disciples to help the boy, but they had been unable to remove the demon. In their frustration and despair, the man (and the disciples) were about to give up. The man asks Jesus to help in any way “if You can”. Jesus corrects the man’s words, ‘if you can’, reminding him “all things are possible for one who believes”. The man responded with a cry we Christians have all expressed in one way or another, Lord, ‘I believe. Help my unbelief.’ Jesus demonstrates that He is God, the One whom we should trust whatever the circumstances. He orders the demon to come out and get gone. The demon submits to Jesus’ saving power. Frequently, difficulties and suffering in life threaten to overwhelm our Christian faith. Jesus doesn’t encourage us to try harder; instead, He encourages us to pray to Him. When Jesus encourages His disciples to believe, He is not suggesting we trust more in ourselves or our abilities, or that if we want something fervently enough, we will receive it. Jesus is the power we need to overcome the consequences of sin in this world. Faith receives what Jesus promises. In your struggles, do not give up hope or trusting in Jesus. All things will work out to the good for those who love Him and trust in Him.
COLLECT: Lord Jesus Christ, our support and defense in every need, continue to preserve Your Church in safety, govern her by Your goodness, and grant her Your peace; for You reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

- September 8 worship
Brothers and sisters, greetings in the name of our Savior Jesus. I encourage you to be in bible study and worship on Sunday. God’s word commands and encourages His people to assemble to hear His Word and receive His forgiveness.
Sunday, September 8 we will be following the liturgy of Divine Service Setting One beginning on page 151 in the LSB hymnal. As part of our ongoing catechetical study, we will also recite the first article of the Apostles Creed and Luther’s explanation.
Hymns chosen for the day are #797 Praise the Almighty; #841 O Son of God in Galilee; #619 Thy Body Given For Me, O Savior; and #551 When to Our World the Savior Came.
Scripture texts assigned to the day are Psalm 146:1-10; Isaiah 35:4-7a; James 2:1-10, 14-18; and Mark 7:24-37.
Psalm 146 is the first of the so-called “hallelujah” psalms, or translated into English, “Praise the Lord!” It is also structured as an acrostic psalm, each subsequent line originally beginning with a subsequent letter of the Hebrew alphabet. The psalmist praises God for His creative power, the Source and Maker of all that basically exists, and Sustainer of our lives. This same all-powerful God is also merciful, kind and caring of the weak and oppressed. He is faithful; His Word endures forever. So, we should the psalmist in trusting Him and praising Him all the days of our earthly lives. The psalm mentions that God opens the eyes of the blind, referring to His healing ability. This truth is comparable to the gospel reading in which Jesus restores the sight of a blind man. Not everyone will receive healing in this world, but whatever healing does take place comes through Jesus. That should give us all reason to praise Him.
In Isaiah 35, the prophet speaks God’s words, giving images of restoration and rejoicing that foretell the rebuilding God brought to the nation of Judah after their exile in Babylon. Using words to paint a picture, God turns a desert into a lush, water-flowing oasis. In a similar way He turns the struggles and dry times in our lives into the joyous life we will enjoy in heaven. The prophet mentions specifically that the blind will see, the deaf will hear, the lame will walk, and the mute will sing. If you have a physical handicap, you have some idea of how great it will be when the handicap is no more. The prophet is speaking about the transformation and restoration God works in our lives through the gospel of Jesus. Whether we are receiving from God physical healing or spiritual healing, we have reason to rejoice. Isaiah uses imagery of leaping deer to describe that joy as well.
The writer of the New Testament book of James was the half-brother of Jesus. After Jesus’ death and resurrection James became a believer and key leader in the Christian congregation of Jerusalem. In Chapter 2, James encourages Christians to not show favoritism to the wealthy, nor ignore the poor. Instead, we demonstrate our faith and love for Christ with actions that reinforce our words. Any good works we do will not earn salvation for us. Only Jesus has the power and the merit to save us from sin and God’s condemnation. Faith receives and clings to the promises of Jesus. But such good news deserves a response. So, James reminds us, faith without works is dead. Loving each person without favoritism is one of those works.
Earlier in Chapter 7 of Mark’s gospel account, Jesus had been teaching on what is clean and what is unclean, that is, what is acceptable to God and what is not. Specifically, Jesus was criticizing the Jewish religious leaders for making up the rituals they were requiring. Jesus points out instead that it is the evil thoughts of our heart that pollute our relationship to God. Jesus came to clean our hearts by washing in the blood of the cross, and blotting out all our transgressions that we would live for Him. He has restored you to God. In the verses to be read Sunday, Jesus demonstrates His power to restore souls by restoring two people in need, the daughter of a foreign woman, and a man born blind. As the astonished observers said about Jesus that day, ‘He has done all things well.’ Both of these miracles are evidence that God has already entered into His created world and begun restoring the things that sin has broken. One day Jesus will return, and He will finish restoring all things for you.
COLLECT: Lord Jesus Christ, our support and defense in every need, continue to preserve Your Church in safety, govern her by Your goodness, and grant her Your peace; for You reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
