At Christmas we celebrate the birth of Jesus. Why? Why is Jesus' birthday so important? Today's Pastor: Tim Hartwig from Peace Lutheran Church in North Mankato. Transcript: Why was Jesus born? Was it to teach us about God? Was it to show us how to love one another? Was it so that we could just learn to get along? In a vision, Joseph was told why Jesus was born. He had been thinking of divorcing his fiancee Mary because he had learned she was pregnant with Jesus. God sent an angel to Joseph in a vision. And this is what the angel said to him. “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because the child conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because He will save his people from this sins.” (Matthew 1:20-21) So why was Jesus born? He was born to save his people from their sins. In fact he was given the name Jesus to indicate that very thing. Jesus means ‘the Lord saves.’ Now it was a common name at that time, bu

Pastor Tim Hartwig   Transcript:  St. Paul wrote to Titus. For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all people. Notice what Paul said: ‘the grace of God has appeared.’ He didn't say ‘the righteousness of God’ or ‘the justice of God’ has appeared. That would strike us with terror. In fact whenever God appeared in the Old Testament the immediate response of people was fear. Dead terror. That is what the righteousness and justice of God produces. It does so because we're sinful. We know that we are far from perfect. We are corrupt to the core and deserve God's wrath and punishment, but thankfully God's grace has appeared. Grace means undeserved love. God doesn't treat us as we deserve but treats us according to his love. Paul is referring to Jesus. That the grace of God has appeared. The grace of God was earned by Jesus. God treats us not as we deserve, but as Jesus deserves. Because of Jesus God loves us, forgives us, and desires to work all things for our good. He brings salvation to

If you find these devotions beneficial we'd encourage you to like them, share them with others, and consider supporting our ministry with prayer and donations. Funding for these videos comes from viewers and churches who support our teaching. Transcript:  A number of years ago I remember seeing the abbreviation Xmas for Christmas. It seems like I don't see that around very much anymore. And I wonder why. I wonder if maybe Christian sentiment has turned against that term and kind of viewed it as taking the Christ out of Christmas. And so haven't wanted to see stores use it or anybody else. It's a bit ironic though, if you think about it, because the name Christ or the word Christ in the Greek language begins with a letter that looks almost identical to an English X. So really it's not that inappropriate for us to call it Xmas referring to Christos or Christ. So this time of year though it is important f

If you have a few minutes, can you fill out our end of year survey to let us know how we are doing and how we can serve you better. https://peacedevotions.com/2019-feedback/ Luke 13:24-27 What would be the worst thing that you could hear from someone? As a parent you might think ‘oh hearing that my child has cancer or a terminal illness.’ As a spouse you might think ‘hearing that my spouse is being unfaithful and is leaving me.’ Maybe it could be economic ruin that would terrify you. Hearing that all of your investments, all of your money, is just gone. What would be the worst thing that you could possibly hear? All of those things, as terrible as they are, still only dealing in the realm of earthly life. Jesus in Luke Chapter 13 teaches us the worst things that we could possibly hear from God. He said to them, “Strive to enter through the narrow door, because many, I tell you, will try to enter and will not be able. Once the master of the house gets up and shuts the door, you will begi
