Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
What goes on, on the INSIDE, is what is really important! Just one problem: when the Lord diagnosed our INSIDE in Mark 7:14-23, it was and is pretty alarming to say the least!
Tomorrow we are going to look at how the Lord heals us from the INSIDE even while His serious diagnosis about our INSIDE is constant. That’s tricky…it’s as if inside defilement has already gotten the best of us, and YET something ELSE has also been given to us on the INSIDE. Here, we will let the Word of God be our guide! The good news is that there is a way — the Lord’s way — that gives hope and healing!
ALSO: tomorrow we combine adults and high schoolers for a brand new Bible Study entitled, “Power for Daily Living.” All first attendees will receive a FREE book. I look forward to spending this time in the Word with you from 11 to 12 noon.
In the meantime, we look forward to Divine Service tomorrow morning at 9:30 am. Come and receive the Lord’s gifts of life and salvation! In holy absolution, the Word proclaimed, and holy communion you receive Jesus Christ and to receive the Lord is to receive all that you need and to receive even far more than what we can ask for. The Lord of Life comes to bless!
I look forward to seeing you in the morning!
In Jesus’ Love,
Pastor Espinosa
