- By Pastor Mike Geiger, Cross and the Crown Lutheran Church, Georgetown, TexasJune 15, 2021Life can be difficult and wear us out. Perhaps unlike any other stretch, the last 12 months have taken their toll on us, not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually. The uncertainty of COVID, the unrest in our country and the divisiveness of elections challenge even the strongest. This year, 2021, has been different, but similar issues still exist. COVID still haunts us. Racial unrest…
- By Pastor Jason Cunningham, First Presbyterian Church, LuverneJune 08, 2021Many people like superhero movies and cartoons, especially kids, though most of us don’t outgrow them. My twins like superheroes right now. They especially like Iron Man, probably because we have a toy mask of him. Spiderman is another favorite around my house. A few other superheroes that have been popular include Batman, Superman and Captain America. Sometimes people will think about what…

- By Rev. Roger Sparks, Luverne Christian Reformed ChurchJune 01, 2021The other day, as I was reading the New Testament book of Romans, I came across a reference to the faith of Abraham. Abraham trusted in God “...who gives life to the dead and calls into existence the things that do not exist.” (Romans 4:17, ESV) We all have a measure of faith. If we sit in a chair, we believe it will support our weight. If we drive a car, we trust that the brakes will work to…

- By Rev. Andrew Palmquist, Bethany Lutheran Church, LuverneMay 25, 2021“I hope I can find a job after I graduate.” “I hope I meet the right person and get married one day.” “I hope my new college or university is a good fit.” “I hope my team wins the championship.” “I hope I get to go to heaven.” When we use the word “hope,” there is often a lot of uncertainty attached to it. Sometimes we use the word “hope” as if it’s a wish or a dream, sometimes even an…

- By Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, St. John Lutheran Church, LuverneMay 20, 2021The name Job is a name synonymous with suffering. God allowed Job to endure so much, including the loss of his wife and children, and he is remembered for remaining faithful. Still, there was a point at which Job wasn’t so faithful. You might remember Job saying, “The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away,” but do you recall when he angrily demanded answers from God? In Chapter 30, Job says, “I…

- By Pastor Walt Moser, First Baptist Church, LuverneMay 11, 2021The cry from the streets across America today is “Black Lives Matter.” Right next to them are signs saying, “All Lives Matter,” or “Blue Lives Matter.” On the next block the battle cry is for living wages for all people regardless of age, race, gender or education because that is most important to them. Some might say that what really matters is that all people have food, shelter and clean water…

- By Pastor Ann Zastrow, Grace Lutheran Church, LuverneMay 04, 2021“Love, love, love, that’s what it’s all about. ’Cause God loves us, we love each other – mother, father, sister, brother. Everybody sing and shout, ’cause that’s what it’s all about—it’s about love, love, love.” These are the words to a song I learned as a youth. And love IS what it’s all about! The lessons my congregation has been hearing the past few weeks are all about love – God’s love for…
- By Pastor Jason Cunningham, First Presbyterian Church, LuverneApril 27, 2021Read Isaiah 40:28-31: “Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.…

- By Rev. Roger Sparks, Luverne Christian Reformed ChurchApril 20, 2021During the recent season of Lent and Good Friday, many of us would have meditated on one or more of the Savior’s seven sayings which he uttered while on the cross. His words offer hope even to the chief of sinners, such as his prayer for those who drove the nails through his hands and feet: “Father, forgive them ...” and his assurance to the dying thief who repented: “Today you will be with me in…
