“We are saved by faith alone, but the faith that saves

is never alone.” 

-Martin Luther

TOGETHER 

Jesus gives you the gift of salvation freely, and this Sunday we rejoice TOGETHER in what He did for us!  We have faith in him, TOGETHER.  We live in this fallen world TOGETHER and comfort one another in times of despair.  TOGETHER, we hear the proclamation of the Good News of Jesus.  Together, we share His Holy Supper with the assurance of the forgiveness of our sins.  TOGETHER, we are the body of Christ with Jesus being the head.  Jesus said, 

“For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”

-Matthew 18:20

Our Lord is with us, and faith is not something we do alone, God never once suggested that.  Instead, we worship our Lord TOGETHER, united in one faith, in one Lord Jesus Christ.  We live lives of faith TOGETHER honoring Him, glorifying Him, and caring for those in need.  

See you this Reformation Sunday, as we gather …you guessed it… TOGETHER.

I can’t wait!

Pastor Austin
