Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

We live in world marked by division and in many ways this fact is just down-right discouraging. The Good News, however, includes that fact that Christ’s victory over our sin and death has made us members of the household of God. We know a true unity over and above all division. What is more, the basis for this unity is made brilliantly clear in the Word of God: “built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the cornerstone.” (Eph. 2:20) Our foundation is the Lord’s Word and Sacraments. This is what the Lord works through to keep you in His “country” and in His “house.” Thank God!
Tomorrow we will also receive the precious and healing body and blood of our Savior which keeps us in the forgiveness of sins.
In addition, two special announcements:
1. Tomorrow we have as our guest organist our probable new organist. His name is Jerry Dahlin. Please join me in welcoming Jerry. Personally, I really like our brother in Christ, Jerry. He is a long-time Lutheran Christian. One can see his love for Christ and his love for the family of God. Pray for him. He will probably be a little nervous. I would appreciate your feedback on his playing.
2. This past week we had a wonderful time with eight (8) of our youth who attended Higher Things at the University of Las Vegas, Nevada (UNLV). It was a fantastic conference, full of learning and growing in the Word; full of Lutheran worship: Matins, Vespers, Evening Prayer, and Compline…all of these framed by Divine Services with Holy Communion. In between the worship and the fun free time were several break-out sessions taught by many teachers. My session was presented two times on two different days and were very well attended. I will present this very session for Bible Study tomorrow entitled: “Angels and Demons.” I hope you’ll attend this study tomorrow after worship.
In Jesus’ Love,
Pastor Espinosa
