From the Pastor: John 8:31-32 31 So Jesus said to the Jews who had believed in him, “If you abide in my word, you are truly my disciples, 32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
I recently attended, with Joseph Jennings (our lay delegate from SP), the Kansas District Convention in Salina. We sat with about 180 other pastors and lay delegates from all the churches in the Kansas District of the LCMS. It was great!
Some items that were presented as resolutions to vote on and were passed:
· To Support LCMS Mission Work in Francophone West and Central Africa
· To Plant Schools and Lutheran Early Childhood Centers in the LCMS Kansas District
· To Plant Churches in the LCMS Kansas District
· To Approve Revisions to the LCMS Kansas District Bylaws Regarding… all sorts of items.
We got to hear all kinds of great things that are happening in our district with churches, schools, and heard greetings from many organizations in the Synod. We also participated in a 3-part Bible Study given by the Rev. Will Weedon on the theme verse from John 8. He encouraged us all to abide in the Word of God all the time. Not just on Sunday mornings.
Rev. Weedon reminded us that God’s Word is living and active and to “Let the Word be your daily dwelling. It is stronger than death, deeper than fear, and more lasting than heaven and earth. To abide in the Word is to abide in Christ Himself– and that is a home no enemy can take from you.”
May God be with you and may His Word abide in you richly,
