Redeemer Lutheran Church

Welcome to our Church Website

From Pastor..."When He had led them out to the vicinity of Bethany, He lifted up His hands and blessed them.  While He was blessing them, He left them and was taken up into heaven."  [Luke 24:50-51]  
"God's way, not yours or mine!"
I noticed last week that I had put changing this website message on kind of a back burner for over a month.  I started to change it several times but never finished. 
This past Sunday was Rogate Sunday,prayer Sunday. Tomorrow we observe 'The Ascension.'  Timing. Commedians teach us that joke telling has a lot to do with the 'timing' of the punch line.
I read that people, especially in rural areas, connect prayer Sunday with a blessing of the seeds and soil.  They do this every Spring.  Originally after blessings and prayers in church, the people went out for three days into the fields praying litanies praising God and asking for His blessing on their planting efforts.  "A time to plant" had arrived [Eccl.3:2b]
Sunday in our prayer service we sang the Gospel hymn "Four Days Late" based on John chapter 11. The hymn concludes "When He's four days late and all hope is gone, Lord, we don't understand why You've waited so long. But His way is God's way, not yours or mine.  And isn't it great when He's four days late, He's still on time! 
Have you ever prayed and prayed and prayed for something or someone and seemingly didn't receive an answer? Ah...It's God's way not yours or mine!  Timing!
And then there's "He ascended into heaven."  Why then?  Why 40 days after rising from the dead? His ways are not yours or mine!  Timing!
"God's way, not yours or mine!"  John 3:16 is a HUGE part of God's way!  [Read that verse again and again]  It is God's way!  Would we want it any different?
      "For God so loved the world, that He gave His onlySon, that whoever believes in
Him should not perish but have eternal life."
As Peter Truman of the Global News used to say, "That's not news but it too is reality!"
 

"There is SALVATION in NO ONE ELSE!  There is NO OTHER NAME in all of heaven for people to call on TO SAVE THEM!"  [Portions of Acts 4:11&12]  Jesus is the One to call upon! 
He said about Himself, "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life, no one gets to the Father except by Me!"  John 14:6
"Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved!"  Acts 16:31
