  • Jesus and Mental Health, Part 3: Vital Connection

    20/02/2022 Duración: 23min

    Having a safe place with safe people is vital to strong mental health. Because Jesus inhabits our vital friendships with other Christ-followers with his grace and forgiveness, He empowers those connections to equip us with strong mental health. The symptoms of disconnection are evident, depression/mood; anxiety/fear; acting out/impulse problems; addictions; distorted thinking (negative/worrisome). The outcomes of a vital connection with others who are in Christ are more evident: peace, security, acceptance, truth is spoken in love, fortified resilience, and the capacity to love others as Jesus loves us. This fosters strong emotional health. Next step: Find a safe place with safe people who follow Jesus.   Subscribe to stay updated with the latest content.

  • Jesus and Mental Health, Part 2: Mature Love

    13/02/2022 Duración: 19min

    What is mature love? Humanity has a tendency to curve on itself, where all we think about is ourselves. One way through mental health issues is by seeking to better another person’s life through kindness while we ourselves are seeking to be better. Jesus’ way of love lifts our heads from seeing only ourselves to seeing others around us. Subscribe to stay updated with the latest content.

  • Jesus and Mental Health, Part 1: Fully Accepted // Steve Brown

    06/02/2022 Duración: 30min

    When we are honest and vulnerable before God and one another regarding our faults, we put ourselves in the place to experience being fully accepted by God and others. This gives us a solid foundation for strong mental health. The central teaching of our evangelical faith is that we are saved, accepted, and justified by grace through faith in Christ. All of our efforts for making ourselves good and accepted fall short and come to end at the cross of Christ. We are left with only Jesus and his work to make us right with God and each other.     Subscribe to stay updated with the latest content.

  • Hidden Wisdom, Part 5: Fighting Fair // Mike Weaver

    30/01/2022 Duración: 25min

    It’s wise to fight.  The foolish avoid conflict and thus let resentment, misunderstanding, and bitterness fester. Every relationship will experience conflict.  What matters is not whether or not people fight, it’s how they fight that matters.  The measuring line for successful relationships is not the frequency of fighting, it is in the quality of the conflict.  Wisdom teaches us that we can fight fairly and find a resolution to our conflicts regardless of their intensity and duration.     Subscribe to stay updated with the latest content.

  • Hidden Wisdom, Part 3: Good Grief // Mike Weaver

    16/01/2022 Duración: 23min

    It’s wise to grieve.  Avoiding grief leaves our wounded hearts open like a cut that will not heal. Every person experiences grief.  It follows as we experience loss in our lives, whether it be because someone we loved has died, we lose physical ability, friendships end, or hopes and dreams for the future die.  The wise allow themselves to grieve.  If we don’t allow ourselves to grieve, the emotional toll we face are physical and relational difficulties.     Subscribe to stay updated with the latest content.

  • Hidden Wisdom, Part 2: The Wisdom of the Cost // Steve Brown

    09/01/2022 Duración: 26min

    God’s wisdom for our lives is the cost of dying so that we will be able to love God and others.   Everything in what Jesus taught and the way Jesus lived and died reveals the hidden wisdom of God for our lives – to die to ourselves so that we will be able to love God above all else and to love others as Jesus loves us. One cannot be raised to a new life without first dying. This hidden wisdom of God is upside down and backward from the “wisdom” of the world. It is the message of the cross which is foolishness to those who yet do not know Jesus.   Next step: Identify one bit of the world’s “wisdom” that you are relying on more than you should. Put it in its proper place of your priorities. Recommit yourself to trust in the message of the cross above the wisdom of this world.   Subscribe to stay updated with the latest content.

  • Hidden Wisdom, Part 1: Wisdom's Origin Story // Mike Weaver

    02/01/2022 Duración: 18min

    Paul describes Jesus as the “wisdom of God”,  Thus, Jesus embodies the entirety of wisdom.  He is the Savior of the world and the wisdom of God. The beginning of the year is a time for us to look ahead at what will be.  We envision, make plans, set goals…but wisdom will be the way it is accomplished. The world today may be filled with incredible knowledge, but be bereft of wisdom.  Google is knowledgeable, but not wise.     Next step:  Ask for wisdom for the way through the year.   Subscribe to stay updated with the latest content.

  • Whose Day Can You Make? // Mike Weaver

    19/12/2021 Duración: 19min

    When Mary visits Elizabeth, Elizabeth is shocked and says, “Why am I so favored…?”  The NRSV re-words her question, “Why has this happened to me…?”  Regardless of how it is worded, Elizabeth is surprised and taken aback by the grace she’s experiencing by Mary’s visit.  Mary, in whom the Savior of the Word dwelled in bodily form, visits Elizabeth and gives her a day she would never forget.  Might we do the same for others?  What if we set out to make someone’s day this holiday season?  After all, the risen Christ dwells in our lives as well.  God, through Mary, gave Elizabeth a day she would never forget.  Might God be asking us to do the same for others?  Subscribe to stay updated with the latest content.

  • Who Should I Be Today? // Mike Weaver

    12/12/2021 Duración: 14min

    In the morning, many of us ask, “What should I do today?”  We think of tasks and obligations and make plans to carry them out.  Do we ever ask, “Who should I be today?” or as we look at the holiday season, “Who should I be this Christmas?”  What difference would it make if you did?  During Advent, we anticipate the coming of Christ, his first coming in his birth in Bethlehem and his second in glory.  He comes as a who first...a person in the flesh.  He shows up intentionally before he does anything.  The readings this week lead us into how we might show up during the holidays:  joyful, attentive, gentle, generous, peaceful...not as an obligation, but in response to all God has done and is doing in our lives.   Subscribe to stay updated with the latest content.

  • Where is the God of Justice? // Steve Brown

    05/12/2021 Duración: 19min

    As you look at what is happening in our world and individual lives, you may be thinking, “Evil seems to be winning. Where is the God of justice?” God brings justice through Jesus alive in us and everything is made new. The Hebrew prophets Malachi and John the Baptist proclaimed that God’s justice was coming. God’s justice came in Jesus. God’s justice is backward from the world’s justice. God’s justice flows from God’s grace found in Jesus and not from the world’s karma justice. At the same time, God’s justice calls for a response of trust in God and living in obedience to God’s values. When we trust in Jesus and seek to live by the Lord’s values, God’s justice overcomes the evil injustices of our time, and lives are changed to be more like Jesus.   Subscribe to stay updated with the latest content.

  • What Are You Looking For? // Mike Weaver

    28/11/2021 Duración: 19min

    Decades ago, U2 sang, “I still haven’t found what I’m looking for.”  The phrase is not only a great lyric to a legendary song, it reflects the condition of our hearts at different points in our lives.  The deeper question becomes, “What is your heart looking for?”  Contentment?  Peace?  Love?  Joy?  Acceptance?  When we live in Christ, we find what our hearts are looking for and what our souls long for.       Subscribe to stay updated with the latest content.

  • Extraordinary Generosity // Steve Brown

    21/11/2021 Duración: 33min

    God makes our generosity extraordinary. God takes what we give to his mission and multiplies it to produce an extraordinary and eternal difference in our lives and the lives of others. When we sacrificially and cheerfully give first to God, our lives are extraordinarily changed. God uses all our offerings to bring his extraordinary mission into reality.         Subscribe to stay updated with the latest content.

  • Live Generously // Mike Weaver

    14/11/2021 Duración: 22min

    As Christians, we live our lives always in view of the cross.  God has generously given us all things, including himself, and asks us to live in this way of generosity.   The question Capital One asks consumers is, “What’s in your wallet?”  God asks, “What’s in your heart?”  God doesn’t need our time, talents, and money, but we need to be generous.  It is not only good for us, it is also what God desires of us, that we live with glad and generous hearts.     Subscribe to stay updated with the latest content.

  • All-Saints Sunday: Hope // Steve Brown

    07/11/2021 Duración: 27min

    Hope is the confident expectation that what God has promised will happen. The dictionary defines hope as “a feeling of expectation and desire for a certain thing to happen.” But hope is less about feeling and more like trust. Faith and hope are synonyms in the theology of the Bible. Hope is forward-looking and, therefore, hope is less about proof. But our hope becomes more confident when past events provide proof for our hope.   So, we hope in Christ based on the historical events recorded in the gospel narratives. We know, however, that our hope in Christ can fluctuate from a shaky wish on one end to a confident expectation on the other. What can we learn about hope from the Apostle John’s account of Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead? Can what we learn move us towards a more confident hope that we will be raised from the dead to eternal life in the paradise that Jesus has prepared for us. How can a more confident hope change our daily lives?   Subscribe to stay updated with the latest content. Follow St Lu

  • Reformation Sunday: Freedom // Mike Weaver

    31/10/2021 Duración: 23min

    Luther dreamed and worked for a church that was free from the demands of the leaders in the church of his day.  The reforms he led became a movement founded in the freedom of the Christian.  The desire for freedom continues to this very day as Americans debate about what freedom means as it relates to government mandates about masks and vaccinations.  Christians today, in America, can model and help create a future for all of us as we use our freedom, not to do what we want and demand our rights, but to serve our neighbor in love.  We can help a culture confused and conflicted over the nature of freedom by living free lives in the Gospel in service to the neighbor. “A Christian is a perfectly free lord of all, subject to none. A Christian is a perfectly dutiful servant of all, subject of all, subject to all.” ~Martin Luther Subscribe to stay updated with the latest content.

  • Pioneer and Perfecter // Mike Weaver

    17/10/2021 Duración: 18min

    Jesus is called a prophet, teacher, miracle-worker, Messiah, the Christ, Savior, and Redeemer among other things.  The writer of Hebrews adds two more, “Pioneer and Perfecter” of our faith.  (The King James Version uses the word “author” instead of “pioneer”.) This week we’ll lean into the implications that Jesus is truly what Hebrews testifies to, that he writes the story and perfects the same story, of our individual and collective lives lived by faith.

  • Why Church? Part 5: Sacrifice // Steve Brown

    10/10/2021 Duración: 22min

    Dietrich Bonhoeffer says, when Christ calls us, he bids us to come and die. Pastor Mike taught last week that we church for a cause bigger than ourselves, but first we must be transformed by Christ and that takes sacrifice. To live and love like Jesus will take sacrifice. In a move that is incredibly counter-intuitive and countercultural, we church because Jesus bids us to come and die and live a life that is sacrificial for the sake of the world. It is here that we find our purpose.   Subscribe to stay updated with the latest content. Follow St Luke Lutheran Church: YouTube Instagram Facebook Website

  • Why Church? Part 4: Sacrifice // Mike Weaver

    03/10/2021 Duración: 13min

    The church is a cause greater than ourselves, the Kingdom of God.  As the church, we are invited to participate in the ongoing revelation of the Kingdom of God in this world.  We pray for its coming weekly and, at times, daily, in the Lord’s Prayer, and we participate and co-create the Kingdom where we are with God by the Holy Spirit.  Just as Jesus sent the 72 out to do the work of the Kingdom to places maybe they had never been and with people with whom they had never spoken, and to do things they couldn’t ever do on their own, so Christ sends us out as ambassadors for the Kingdom.     Subscribe to stay updated with the latest content.
