Sunday snow?...and a video from this morning's service...

     It is snowing as I type and it is actually sticking to the ground.  We can't seem to get rid of the stuff this year.  I need to keep the wood stoves going for a little longer.  I noticed this morning that I didn't have as much breathe for leading singing but it was great to worship together with God's family.  I was back on the treadmill yesterday for a short walk and hope to be on it again today.  Wednesday we meet with the radiologist and will post a new video of the news.  Below is a link to a video we showed this morning in church.  It really reminded me of the conversion of Paul on the road to Damascus.  It is a good reminder of why we do what we do.

     Our next section of Scripture, 1 Peter 2:13-25, will deal with our response as Christians in the world in regards to the government and work.  This will be a really practical sermon.  I love the last verse that says, "For you were straying like sheep, but have now returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls."  I pray that our church would be a place where lost sheep are coming home.  I can't tell you how much I am looking forward to Resurrection Sunday (Easter) this year.  I am praying for a herding of the sheep for that day.


     One more note, a young lady in church today told of a miracle that her cancer was gone.  She told me that she couldn't believe what she was saying but that she thanked the Lord for the cancer.  She wouldn't be where she was if it had not been for this trial that made her walk back to God.  "Count it all joy..."  God is still good and God is still great and God is still in control.

    Hi Adam! It was great to meet you last week at the Pastor’s Prayer time. I wanted you to know that I continue to pray for you, brother. In fact, we prayed for you this morning as a staff here at Gaylord E-Free. I’m sure God will be faithful to you – He always is! Feel free to contact me anytime I can be of help to you for anything.

Galatians #15 - Galatians 6:11-18 - "On The Road Again..."

Image
  Another week closer and it involves some more travel for the Wolfgangs.  I feel like the Willy Nelson song, " On the road again... "  I don't know if I agree with the next line though. " ...I can't wait to get on the road again. " One of the members of the church in Wisconsin calculated that I will travel well over 10,000 miles to make this transition.  Traveling mercies prayers please. Last Sunday we will look at Paul's final words to the churches in Galatia.  He brought them the gospel (good news) message of Jesus and what resulted were churches forming throughout the region.  The letter is to defend that message that our salvation comes from and is in Christ alone.  Christ's sacrifice on the cross was sufficient for the forgiveness of our sins.  The summary statement of the letter is found in  Galatians 6:15 (LSB) .  " For neither is circumcision anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation. "  Translated another way earlier in  Ga

  Berthoud Pass Here we are at the top of Berthoud Pass.  It was a whirlwind week to conduct a " hand off " service in Wisconsin on 3/17 and then preach a Palm Sunday sermon in Colorado on 3/24.  We give God all the glory for this happening.  So there are two video links at the bottom of this blog.  One is for the Wisconsin service and the other is for the Colorado service.  I racked up over 12,000 in the last 7 weeks.   I love to take these pictures sitting from the front row of chairs and listening to the one God has provided for the church I had been serving for 20 months.  I now have 3 and I am so thankful for the opportunity God gave us to serve Him in this type of ministry over the last 5 years.  It has been great to add to our daily prayer list Zach in Maine, Chris in Ohio and now Stephen in Wisconsin. This was our set up for the 2000+ mile trip.  No " hiccups " except for the strong eastern winds in Kansas.  Of course everything was quite a bit dirtier when

Resurrection Sunday in a new space...Matthew 27.62-28.20

Image
  Resurrection Sunday has come and gone but it was a sweet day to be with the gathered saints of the Stillwater Community Chapel .  We are venturing through the Gospel of Matthew and this Sunday will take us back to Matthew 1.1 but last Sunday we were in Matthew 27.62-28.20.  It was a lot to cover so the white board was truly a help to keep me on track.  This year in my Resurrection Sunday message, I focused on the contrast of the cover-up story of the disciples stealing the body of Jesus fueled by a bride and the commission of speaking of a risen Lord fueled by boldness . After the service upstairs, we ventured downstairs to the lower level and had a great meal together.  The conversations around the tables allowed us to continue to talk about the passage of Scripture we covered upstairs.  Maybe this is a very informal picture of what happens at the  Waushara Community Church called the " Going Deeper " classes of the Come For More hour following the Sunday morning worshi
