Dear friends of Jesus connected through Peace,
“Human sexuality is something sacred to be stewarded”.
Opportunities to give grace are everywhere. The unhappy marriage, the emotional affair, pornography, no dates, ghosting to end relationships - every one of these situations is an opportunity for grace.
I’m not saying it will be easy.
But we have something broken hearts need. Grace. Good news. Release from obligations. Forgiveness. Removal of guilt. Approval in Jesus Christ.
Lord, give us strength to steward the sexuality of our friends and neighbors.
We enjoyed teaching on the 6th Commandment this past Sunday.

Some pastors and others in the WELS have been preparing some resources on sexuality in this age. Check out “MadeKnown” if you’re looking for help. https://madeknown.net/
If you’re like me, that will lead you to repentance. https://youtu.be/4x1Z7R4J56o
This week we’re finishing up the 6th Commandment. Let me encourage you to spend some time preparing
God’s Word this week: Exodus 20:14, 1 Thessalonians 4:3-8, Matthew 5:27-32
Music this week: “Oh How Good It is” “Lord Have Mercy”, and “Love in Christ is Strong and Living” “God the Uncreated One”

Budget review
