Tuesday evening, March 25, as my wife Kathy and I were eating supper, we discussed my day at work. Among other things, I visited 9 people in their home or at the hospital. Pastor Chris Kollman and I visited 5 people at one time at Oak Hammock. Then I visited Larry and Gayle Davis in their home, and Guillermo and Barbara Luna-Victoria in the hospital.

When I taught Bible Classes at St. John Lutheran Church in Palmer, Alaska, I sometimes referenced two books. One of those books is entitled “Hard Sayings of the Bible,” the other “Hard Sayings of Jesus.” You see, even though I am a seminary trained pastor, there are times that I do not understand what I read.

Ash Wednesday falls on March 5 this year, the year of 2025 A.D. Ash Wednesday begins a season of repentance, a season which also prepares God’s people to celebrate the joy of Easter.

When it comes to your Christian faith, what do you believe? The Apostles Creed is a good summary of what Christians believe. Perhaps you, like me, “believe in God the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth.” If you are a Christian, a believer in the Christ, then you “believe in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord.” If you are a Christian, then you also believe God works in your heart through the Holy Spirit. “I believe in the Holy Spirit.”But what do you believe about The Church?

When a young couple marries, they have all sorts of dreams of how wonderful life will be, maybe even how easy it will be, to live married with “the one I love.” Nevertheless, many find out that, though we might think loving another person is easy, sometimes love can be very difficult. On Sunday, February 2, I preached on the appointed Gospel Lesson, Luke 4:31-44.
