We believe, teach, and confess the Triune God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

We believe, teach, and confess Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and the gospel as the power of God for the salvation of all who believe in him.

*Jesus Christ is the Word of God incarnate, through whom everything was made and through whose life, death, and resurrection God fashions a new creation.

*The proclamation of God's message to us as both law and gospel is the Word of God, revealing judgment and mercy in the person and work of Jesus Christ through whom God was pleased to reconcile all things to himself.

*The canonical Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments are the Word of God. Inspired by God's Spirit speaking through their authors, they record and announce God's revelation centering in Jesus Christ. Through them God's Spirit speaks to us to create and sustain Christian faith and fellowship for service in the world.

We believe, teach, and accept the canonical Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments as the inspired Word of God and the sole authoritative source and norm of our proclamation, faith, and life.

We accept the Apostles', Nicene, and Athanasian Creeds as true declarations of the scriptural faith we believe, teach, and confess.

We believe, teach, and accept the Unaltered Augsburg Confession and the Small Catechism as true witnesses to the Word of God, normative for our teaching and practice. We acknowledge that we are one in faith and doctrine with all churches that likewise accept the teachings of the Unaltered Augsburg Confession.

We believe, teach, and confess the other confessional writings in the Book of Concord namely, the Apology of the Augsburg Confession, the Smalcald Articles, the Treatise, the Large Catechism, and the Formula of Concord, as further valid expositions of the Holy Scriptures.

We believe, teach, and confess the gospel, recorded in the Holy Scriptures and confessed in the ecumenical creeds and Lutheran confessional writings, as the power of God to create and sustain the priesthood of all believers for God's mission in the world.

PASTOR’S LUCID RAMBLINGS - February 2025

Don’t Change the Message!

1 Corinthians 15:17 If Christ hasn’t come back to life, your faith is
nonsense and sin still has you in its power.

Inspired by a headline found at: https://www.christianpost.com/news/4-christian-reactions-to-disneys-snow-white-remake.html

In light of the recent “Snow White” movie remake, I was reminded of the purpose of fairy tales. Back in a day when the illiteracy rate was high, fairy tales were told to teach children moral and Christian values. For example, “Cinderella” emphasized hard work and humility and the “Boy Who Cried Wolf” taught the lesson of what can happen to people who lie.

The original story of Snow White has a moral message too. It is the story of a vain queen, whom we can equate to Satan. Satan is in love with his own image. He wants to be in the place of God. The original “Snow White” story was a message that one day the prince will come, raise Snow White from a deadly sleep and defeat evil once and for all. The prince
represents Jesus and Snow White represents humanity.

I think remaking the Snow White tale is a problem. The world needs to be reminded daily that Jesus, the Prince of Peace, came into this world to
defeat sin, death, and the power of Satan. Changing fairy tales will not change the Gospel message.

Lenten Blessings, Pastor Mike
