MARTIN LUTHER RECOGNIZED GOD’S BLESSINGS to every living thing when he wrote about the First Article of the Apostles’ Creed in the Large Catechism. There he wrote, “Hence, since everything we possess, and everything in heaven and on earth besides, is daily given and sustained by God, it inevitably follows that we are in duty bound to love, praise, and thank Him without ceasing, and, in short, to devote all these things to his service.” (The Book of Concord, Fortress Press, 1959, page 412) read the full article at: https://txlcms.org/luther-on-thanksgiving/

READ THE BIBLE AND THEN TAKE A TEST-- At this point in the program we have read halfway through the Acts of the Apostles, which mostly follows the work of Peter and Paul, and we will soon complete our goal to read the entire Bible in one year. Reading Acts, we see why they are called apostles (which means sent), because in their words and deeds they walk in Jesus' footsteps, teach His doctrine, and make disciples at home and abroad. In addition, they learn from the Holy Spirit and grow in knowledge and trust of God. The October test is posted on our website alongside the tests for January through September. We now have 418 Bible questions and answers covering Genesis through Luke 18 to both challenge our Bible knowledge and help draw us into the Word and closer to the Author of our Faith. The Bible tells us if we draw close to God, He will draw close to us (James 4:8). The 2018 reading plan is posted on our church website, and some are on the Missions Table in the Fellowship Hall.

LIFE QUOTES NOVEMBER 18, 2018
“When we see those suffering from disease or disability … vulnerable, helpless, destined by many to assisted suicide or euthanasia—we are compelled to speak and defend and help because it is the Christ thing to do. For Christ reveals a God who knows about suffering not just because He’s God, but because He suffered. We have a message of a God present in suffering, at work in suffering, and accomplishing His purpose in suffering.” Rev. Dr. James I. Lamb, former executive director of Lutherans For Life – A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life • www.lutheransforlife.org
STEWARDSHIP BULLETIN SENTENCES NOV. 18, 2018
(Proper 28)
Heb. 10:14 – “For by a single offering he has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified.” Our Lord Jesus has provided the one offering for sin. What we offer to the Lord is not a sacrifice for sin; we cannot buy our way into heaven with our money, works, or effort. Rather, what we give to the Lord's work in the Church is a thank offering, a sign of our dependency on God and all He has given us.
