Our new pastoral intern, Alex Woodworth, gave an impactful sermon from James 2:1-13 on partiality & judgement. ✨ We’re all guilty: You deserve grace no more than any other ✨ In Christ, Undeserved mercy is yours as much as any other. Let's drop the judgements on the trivial things. We shouldn't treat each other differently due to such things.  We have a world in need of a Savior - let's carry that mission forward together. His justice & His mercy is our banner & His mercy triumphs over judgment. All glory be to Christ our King!

This Pentecost Sunday our Worship Leader Ben Webb preached about the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives today from Romans 8:12-17. The Holy Spirit leads the believer in Jesus… ✨ From death to life  ✨ From slavery to adoption ✨ From destitution to riches  Be led by the Spirit… …Do not try to put the flesh to death by the power of the flesh …Daily put to death the deeds of the body through the Spirit To what are you a debtor? Are you a debtor to the flesh, separated from God by your sins, and a slave to the very thing that brings you death? Are you a debtor to the Spirit, adopted by Christ as a child of God, and freed to know the life that God gives? Are you a child of God, yet living as if you were still obligated to live according to the flesh? Allow the Spirit to lead you out into the freedom that He gives to the believer. The Holy Spirit leads the believer in Jesus from death to life, from slavery to adoption, from destitution to riches.

The things we do now matter for eternity… …Your thoughts matter for eternity …Your love matters for eternity …Your service matters for eternity …Your words matters for eternity How you live, what you do matters for eternity ✨ What Jesus did defined ALL of eternity! Because it is… - Jesus who is alert & praying for us - Jesus whose love covers a multitude of sins - Jesus who gave Himself to serve you - Jesus who is the very Word of God ✨ I don't know where you are today, but today is still a day where you can say yes to Jesus!

Pr. Nick preached about having faith to believe when the stakes are high as we looked at the story of Moses from Exodus and Hebrews 11:23-27. ✨ It's easy to believe in something when there is not a lot at stake God has a plan for each one of us. God doesn't do anything without purpose. ✨ He doesn't waste time. He doesn't waste a word. He doesn't waste a miracle. He does everything perfect - He can't do it another way. He doesn't make mistakes, there is no random.  A lot of our struggle with personal identity comes from a misinformed view of God and His word.  ✨ If what we are in what we look like or have (appearance, status, abilities, etc.) is our identity then we are truly misunderstanding what the Bible has to say - which is that we were born in the image of God. Created by Him.  God is going to use the context for which you were born into for His glory. He is already doing it. He is going to use your story for His story.  ✨ Moses saw that he was being held in the hands of a God He could not see and yet a power that was greater than what he could… …That God's plan could be trusted even when the stakes were so high and his life was on the line.  Moses led the captives out of slavery in Egypt … …Just as Jesus leads us out of our eternal and spiritual bondage in order that we would have life in His name. We don’t know what is ahead but we place by faith what is ahead in the hands of the only One who knows.  The God of Moses is the same God we worship today! ✨ What God was doing in Moses He can do in you. Moses was just an ordinary guy sent into extraordinary circumstances in life.

When's the last time someone promised you something & didn't follow through on what they promised? And because of that you had to take matters into your own hands? They are no going to come through for me, so I'm going to do have to do it myself. I think we are conditioned to have low expectation of what others promise because we let each other down or we don't always follow through on what we say.  I wonder how many time we have gotten angry at God for something we created ourselves, because we could not trust upon the promise of the Lord? ✨ Faith is the substance of things hoped for & the evidence of things not seen.  Reminder: Saving faith in Jesus is God's gift - it's His work in us! We cannot generate faith in God withing our hearts anymore then we can see the future.  ✨ God calls us to obedience & very rarely tells us what's next because the point of it all is that we trust in relationship with Him…His will & plan…Because His will is the plan - it's for His glory! So often we get fixated on what we think should happen that we fail to see what He was doing all along! ✨ God is good & everyday He is showing us His goodness in the things He is leading us through! Are there matters in your own live you're taking into your own hands? Think about the things you have been unable to do & consider how God uses them.  We would love to pray with you today! https://www.emmauslutheran.org/prayer Fill out our virtual Connection Card: https://emmauslutheran.churchcenter.com/people/forms/152121 Be apart of Emmaus' Mission through giving! http://emmauslutheran.org/give Connect with us online…  www.emmauslutheran.org www.facebook.com/Emmausaflc www.instagram.com/emmausaflc www.twitter.com/EmmausAFLC

There will come a day when your faith in Jesus will be challenged…  …So remember what true faith is …Most importantly remember that your faith is grounded in Him who has saved you not your own doing ✨ Faith is central to all things we hope in …we do not have the ability of knowing all things, or observing all things from the beginning to end ✨ Faith is a trust that comes from God …who builds assurance in our lives, that what we are trusting in is reliable, what we know is sufficient & that what we believe is sure …what gets us into trouble is thinking that our faith is something that we generate. ✨ Faith is simply the avenue by which we come to God and trust Him for our salvation because He has persuaded & convinced us though His love, grace & faithfulness. Without faith it is impossible to please God for we are not holy and beyond that if our faith comes from the righteousness of Jesus than the only things that pleases God is the faith we possess in Jesus who is the author and the protector of our faith.  We would love to pray with you today! https://www.emmauslutheran.org/prayer Fill out our virtual Connection Card: https://emmauslutheran.churchcenter.com/people/forms/152121 Be apart of Emmaus' Mission through giving! http://emmauslutheran.org/give Connect with us online…  www.emmauslutheran.org www.facebook.com/Emmausaflc www.instagram.com/emmausaflc www.twitter.com/EmmausAFLC

Have you ever been so enamored, fascinated or enchanted with something that you just stood there mouth wide open, gazing? It’s an important message these angelic beings have for both the disciples then as well as for us here & us now. What is implies in their announcement is really 3 things… 1. Jesus is not leaving for good - So be ready! Don't just stand there staring into the sky. Be obediently engaging with what God is in the process of doing. 2. Jesus is 'Kinging' - He is establishes His Kingdom now as He sits enthroned in Heaven. 3. There's work to be done - we are called to go, make disciples & reach the nations with the Good News of the Gospel. What does it really look like to be His witnesses to the world? ✨ We are to engage the world - Our goal is not to create safe spaces & places for people to hide out. We are to be embowered to engage the world that He loves much He gave His only Son for!

Because Jesus is alive & has conquered death… …You can experience the peace that comes in His presence! The resurrection means Jesus is the victor!
