Sermon Theme:
Jeremiah 23:23-29
23 "Am I only a God nearby," declares the LORD, "and not a
throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run
with perseverance the race marked out for us. 2 Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the au-
thor and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross,
scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3 Consider
him who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary
and lose heart. 4 In your struggle against sin, you have not yet resisted to the point of
shedding your blood. 5 And you have forgotten that word of encouragement that ad-
dresses you as sons: "My son, do not make light of the Lord's discipline, and do not
lose heart when he rebukes you, 6 because the Lord disciplines those he loves, and
he punishes everyone he accepts as a son." 7 Endure hardship as discipline; God is
treating you as sons. For what son is not disciplined by his father? 8 If you are not
disciplined (and everyone undergoes discipline), then you are illegitimate children
and not true sons. 9 Moreover, we have all had human fathers who disciplined us
and we respected them for it. How much more should we submit to the Father of our
spirits and live! 10 Our fathers disciplined us for a little while as they thought best; but
God disciplines us for our good, that we may share in his holiness. 11 No discipline
seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of
righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it. 12 Therefore,
strengthen your feeble arms and weak knees. 13 "Make level paths for your feet," so
that the lame may not be disabled, but rather healed.
Luke 15:3-6
3 Then Jesus told them this parable: 4 "Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep
and loses one of them. Does he not leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go
after the lost sheep until he finds it? 5 And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his
shoulders 6 and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and
says, `Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.'

CHILDREN’S DEVOTION
Children are invited to come to the front of church for the children’s devotion during
the singing of verse 2 of the second hymn, “Amazing Grace”. Parents are welcome
to accompany their children to the front. Mrs. Bonnie Scholl, our Heart♥Land Pre-
School Teacher, will have the devotion. Afterwards, we’ll continue with verse 3 and
4 of the hymn and the children will return to their parents.

vary Academy, with us and with all of our Wisconsin Synod Congregations.

Calvary Academy and continues to serve as the chief financial officer. He invited his

CALVARY ACADEMY
This home/school operates year round providing 24 hour/7
days a week residential care for troubled youth. Formerly it
was located in South Milwaukee (at the same congregation
where Christine Olson grew up. Chrissy Olson is now serv-
ing us and our Lord in the Escape Teen Center). To better
serve troubled youth, Calvary was moved to Mulberry, Florida. With a system of lov-
ing discipline and God’s Word, troubled children/youth have an opportunity to have a
new beginning in their lives and to return to the Lord who dearly loves them all.
