last week
READ THE BIBLE IN 2021: This past week, ending on May 8, we read from 1 Chronicles 6 through the 26. Chapters 6-10 cover much of the genealogy of King Saul and those that returned from exile in Mesopotamia. Chapter 11 starts another look at King David’s life. David’s mighty men receive some attention, as does moving the ark of the covenant into Jerusalem, and God’s covenant with David, a conditional covenant that required David to remain faithful to God. In spite of his human failings, with God’s help, David was faithful to God. Thus, we are told two times (1Sam 13:14; Acts 13:22) that David had a heart after God’s own heart. In the latter chapters we read of the way David organized the Levites into various services, including priests, musicians, gatekeepers, the temple treasury and overseers. To help us grow in the Word and remember what we read a short quiz has been posted on our website. Today through Saturday read 1 Chronicles 27 through 2 Chronicles 20. Jump to Bible Questions

LIFE QUOTES MAY 9, 2021
“Little though you can see it now, God intends to do wonderful things with you. If He is taking it slowly, that’s no surprise; He did it the first time, too. Nothing the devil can do will stop the Lord from finishing His work in you. After all, He has already laid down His life to make you His own.” Dr. Kari Vo, Lutheran Hour Ministries – A Life Quote from Lutherans For Life • lutheransforlife.org
STEWARDSHIP BULLETIN SENTENCES MAY 9, 2021
Easter 6
1 John 5:3 – “For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments. And his commandments are not burdensome.” God’s commandments are not burdensome. That’s only true for Christians precisely because we know that we are not saved by our keeping of the Law. We are saved by grace. Therefore, we are set free by grace to walk in newness of life, to grow in faithfulness, and to rejoice in the Law of the Lord. The love of God is that we keep His commandments.
KFUO.ORG AND AM850 MAY 9, 2021
This week finish Jude and begin Jeremiah on Sharper Iron (weekdays at 8:00 a.m. CT), study 1 Kings 11-16 on Thy Strong Word (weekdays at 11:00 a.m. CT), and learn how our Confessions interact with our daily life as Lutherans on Concord Matters (5/15 at 10:00 a.m. CT). Find these programs on demand at kfuo.org or wherever you get your podcasts! All times CST.
LUTHERAN HOUR MAY 9, 2021
"Seriously?"
Speaker: Rev. Dr. Michael Zeigler
A preacher who gets upset when people take his message seriously--that's the story of Jonah.
(Jonah 1-4)
LUTHERAN HOUR MAY 16, 2021
"Gain a Heart of Wisdom"
Speaker: Rev. Dr. Michael Zeigler
Fear, love, and trust in the Lord is the way to Wisdom in person, and we meet God's eternal wisdom in Jesus, the Messiah. (Psalm 90:12)
