- By Rev. Dr. Phil BooeJanuary 11, 2021Is there a more iconic Christian image than Jesus as the Good Shepherd and his people as his sheep? It’s in Psalm 23, “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not be in want.” You can find it in Revelations 7, “The Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd.” And in the Gospel of John 10:27, Jesus teaches, “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.” Why do you suppose…

- By Pastor Walt Moser, First Baptist Church, LuverneDecember 28, 2020In 2015 while riding our bicycles across America, Beryl and I entered the Paw Paw tunnel on the C & O Towpath trail. We knew the tunnel was almost ¾ of a mile long and it was adjacent to the boat channel used to bring supplies from Washington DC to Pennsylvania in the 1800’s. The towpath was the path the mules walked on to pull the barges upriver. As we entered the tunnel we could not see…

- By Pastor Laura Phillips, Palisade Lutheran/First Lutheran Church, Valley SpringsDecember 21, 2020“And [the angel Gabriel] came to [Mary] and said, ‘Greetings, favored one! The Lord is with you.’ ” Luke 1:28 This week I was reminded several times of this: to wonder at the wonder of the familiar Christmas story. For example, like when the archangel Gabriel (who first appears several hundred years earlier to the prophet Daniel) breaks into Mary’s ordinary day with, “Greetings, favored one! The…

- By Pastor Ann Zastrow, Grace Lutheran Church, LuverneDecember 15, 2020“Silent Night, Holy Night, all is calm …” We all know this beloved Christmas carol, and may have fond memories of singing it, likely with a lit candle in hand, seeing the faces of family and friends bathed in soft light, warm and snuggly at the end of the Christmas Eve worship service, before heading back out into the cold and snow to go back home. But that’s not how the first Silent Night went.…

- By Pastor Jason Cunningham, First Presbyterian Church, LuverneDecember 08, 2020We’re journeying through December toward Christmas, so I invite you to consider some of those who journeyed to see the newborn king. Those shepherds in the wide open fields were the first to receive the message of God’s great action of grace. Their lives were repetitive, perhaps even monotonous. Most every day looked the same. And then they received news that changed their lives … and the world!…

- By Pastor Roger Sparks, Luverne Christian Reformed ChurchDecember 01, 2020In some congregations candles are lit on each of the four Sundays leading up to Christmas. We call those four Sundays the season of advent because we prepare to celebrate anew the advent (coming) of the Son of God when He was born to live among us and to do a great work of salvation. The birth of Jesus was and still is good news! When we look at world history and current events, it is obvious…

- By Rev. Andrew Palmquist, Bethany Lutheran Church, LuverneNovember 23, 2020As Thanksgiving approaches and especially on the Day, individuals and families often reflect on what they have to be thankful for over the past year. Many families have had significant events taking place. A young (or older!) couple getting married. A little baby is born. A new addition to the family. Graduations. Wedding anniversaries. A special milestone birthday celebration. There are so many…
