Why do so many of us get nervous when public speaking? Communication expert Lawrence Bernstein says the key to dealing with the pressure is as simple as having a casual chat. He introduces the "coffee shop test" as a way to help you overcome nerves, connect with your audience and deliver a message that truly resonates. After the talk, Modupe explains a similar approach in academia called the "Grandma test," and how public speaking can be as simple as a conversation with grandma.

Our Life IN Christ also means a life IN the Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the One who creates faith in us. In Acts chapter 2 we see the Holy Spirit works in the lives of God’s people so they can hear the Gospel in their own language. Jesus had promised, before He ascended into heaven, to send the Holy Spirit who would lead them into all truth. The truth of His life, death, and resurrection for the forgiveness of sins, and for eternal life. This timeless truth for all people.…

Jesus appears to His disciples for a third time after the resurrection, and this time they are fishing on the Sea of Galilee. Jesus first called disciples (Peter, Andrew, James, John) to leave their life of fishing and to come and follow Him and be fishers of men. They left everything to follow Jesus, and now, it appears, they have gone back to their former ways of fishing for fish. Maybe Peter, because of His denial, didn't feel like he could be a fisher of men like Jesus had called him to be. Maybe he thought his sin was too great, that he was unworthy to serve Christ. Jesus speaks with Peter and asks him a question three times (probably reminding him of his three times denial) and bringing Peter back to that first call: fishing for people, taking care of the Good Shepherd's sheep.…

On Easter Sunday, Jesus appears to the disciples, but Thomas missed that first appearance. His response to the disciples seeing the resurrected Christ was basically saying, “I won’t believe it until I see it.” More specifically, he wanted to touch Jesus’ hands where the nails were and His side where the spear pierced Him. So, he would believe it when he saw it, and touched it. When Jesus shows up, again, it changes everything for Thomas. Sometimes, we treat God in this way as well. We will believe in Him, and who He is, only when He shows up and reveals Himself to us, otherwise maybe we will doubt Him just like Thomas, and the rest of the disciples, who believed because they saw.…

And unlike last week when Jesus was the father in the Parable of the Lost Son(s), here Jesus is actually the son and the owner of the vineyard is God the Father. The wicked tenants who do not want to give to the owner of the vineyard what is His. So, when previous attempts have failed, the owner eventually sends his son to win the tenants over. The tenants reject the son and kill him. Jesus will be sent by the Father and be rejected by the people and ultimately killed. And His death is Good News for us.…

And if Jesus is going to give up His life for His enemies, whom He wants in heaven with Him, then people are not truly our enemies.

Also, according to the law, the firstborn was given, dedicated, to God. As we see Mary and Joseph following God's law, they become the example for our lives, that even though they had God among them, in the person of Jesus Christ, they didn't just worship God by staying home and worshipping their Son. They joined with God's people, one of those being Simeon who was promised that he would not die until he saw the face of salvation, the Lord's Christ.

As we read through the Word of God we see many things about Jesus. That He is light and in Him there is no darkness. That He is the light of the world who calls us to be lights in this world, shining in the darkness the light of Christ. That He is the Word, and that in the beginning was the Word. Therefore, in the beginning was Jesus. So, what does it mean for us and our faith that Jesus is the light, the Word, and in the beginning?…

Salvation comes by grace alone, through faith alone, because of Christ alone, and we know this through the Word alone. However, as Peter writes, there are those who will come into our world, our lives in order to lead us away from eternal life. They are the scoffers who come scoffing, tempting us to believe things about God that are contrary to His Word. On this All Saints' celebration let us be confident that nothing can separate us from the love that is in Christ Jesus, and because Christ has overcome all things, we will overcome all things as well, including death.…

Hospitality literally means "love of a stranger." As we also remember Thanksgiving this time of the year, we give thanks for the many things that God has given us including His love. We love because He first loved us. We show hospitality to others because God has been hospitable to us, taking care of us, out of His divine goodness and mercy, without any merit or worthiness in us.…

When we think about our own lives, and God's call in our lives, do we respond to God in the same way? Do we excitedly say, "Here I am, Lord!" Or do we respond in a way that makes it seem like we do not want to go, do not want to be sent, do not want to follow His call? And if we do this with God, do we do it with the Church?…

Solomon speaks of wisdom and Solomon also speaks of love. Yet even the wise King Solomon also makes mistakes when it comes to love. So, what does the recipe for love and marriage look like? We turn not to Solomon for that, but to God. And the picture of a husband and bride is also a picture of Christ and His Church. And it's in Jesus where we see what true love really looks like.…

Jesus invites the little children to come to Him. Tells us that the kingdom of God belongs to them. Proverbs tells us to train our children in the way they should go. That way is the way that leads to Jesus. So, where should children be? In worship, with their parents, following their example, following their lead, where Jesus and His Word and Sacraments are. There is nowhere else God would rather have them be, than right there will ALL God's people.…

As Job suffers through the loss of his children, his livestock, and his health, he is tempted by his wife, and Satan, to "curse God die." His friends come and sit with him, supporting him in silence for seven days. As we go through suffering the question is how do we deal with it? How are we supported in our suffering? And how do we support those who suffer? Sometimes we get it right, and sometimes we get it wrong. Jesus suffered all things for us, so that He can help us in our suffering, and so we can help others.…

God offers up to Satan his servant Job, someone who is upright and blameless, who fears God and turns away from evil. Satan tempted Job to sin, to curse God to His face. What about you? Does God see you as His servant, upright and blameless, who fears God and turns away from evil? If not, we can look to the suffering, faithful servant Himself: Jesus Christ.…

Pearls From Peace

What are you willing to do for those you love? What are you willing to do for those you do not know? What would you be willing to do when your entire race is faced with destruction? This is what Queen Esther faced with the potential Jews being wiped out. She had to face to the king and the potential of death for seeing him without an invitation. In the face of death, Esther had courage. Courage to save her people. So, too with Jesus. He stepped up to save His people, and in order to do so, He did perish.…

As the Jews return to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem, they faced attacks from those who did not want them to rebuild. So with one hand they rebuilt the walls, and with one hand they defended against their enemies. In the church, we are also in the business of building and defending. Building up the body of Christ through the Word and Sacraments. Defending our faith against the attacks of the devil, the world, and our sinful flesh.…

With a New Year comes new beginnings. In the story of Ezra, the people are building anew the temple of God that had been destroyed. As we look ahead to the year to come, we also remember what led us to this point. It’s easy to focus on the things that tear down and destroy, but we focus rather on the building up of the body of Christ, and the One on whom our body is built.…

Genesis tells us that in the beginning God created light. John tells us that in the beginning Jesus was there and that He is the light. The light that shines in the darkness, the light of men. The light in us to help us be lights in this world, sharing the Good News of Great Joy with them.

As we gather together this Christmas and give gifts to one another, we may remember gifts we have received in the past. We may remember how we used to celebrate Christmas with our family. These memories may be joyful, these memories may be ones we’d rather forget. Today, as we gather in the present, we remember the greatest gift we’ve been given at Christmas in Jesus Christ, the one who is love come down for us.…

We explore the lives of King David, King Solomon, King Amon, and King Josiah, and find out which one we would most like to be, and which one we are the most like. The answer may be surprising.

In the story of Naaman the leper and Elisha coming to heal him, Naaman’s expectations were not met by Elisha and as a result he almost did not get healed. Sometimes our expectations of God are not met, and as a result we can be disappointed. Yet, through it all, God deals with us not necessarily in how we expect, but in how we need Him to.…

God is a God who punishes sin, but He is also a God who makes the promise to save us from sin. The wages of our sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus. Whereas our but’s and promises are often conditional, God’s but’s and promises are unconditional.

Elijah flees for his life after God’s incredible display of power against those who followed false gods, like Baal. God comes and speaks His Word to Elijah not in the extraordinary, but in the ordinary, in a whisper. God uses us in our own lives, wherever we are, that we may speak His Word to those who needs to hear it, and today we hear real life examples of how God uses us in the lives of others.…

God had worked many times in the history of Israel to lead them through the impossible. Sometimes we have this idea that if God brings us to… something, whatever it is, God will bring us through it. While that phrase is not found in the Bible, that doesn’t mean that it’s not true. The truth of God’s Word is that God can lead you through the impossible, God can raise the dead, like the widow’s son at Zarephath, and God will raise all who believe on the last day, not because of our work, but because of His work.…

King David wanted to build a temple for God. God said no. It is his son King Solomon that ends up building the temple of God. The place where God would make His dwelling place. Each part of the temple is important and many parts have meaning for us today, some of which is still in use in our very own worship, where God dwells with us.…
