Online Health Sign-up for High School Students
If you are in need of completing your high school health credit, the Spring 1 session of online Health begins January 13. If you would like to be enrolled in this class, you must fill out the form at this linkby Friday January 3. You will be charged an extra $350 on your tuition bill for this class if you are not enrolled in a study hall, early dismissal or late arrival for the 2019-2020 school year. If you took Health in 8th grade here at Faith or have taken Health at Las Vegas Day School, Adelson, Cornerstone, Alexander Dawson, Lake Mead Christian Academy or The Meadows in 7th or 8th grade, your high school Health requirement is already complete and you do not need this class. I’m sorry but CCSD middle school Health is not cleared to count for high school credit. Contact Dan Buikema at buikemad@flhsemail.org if you have any questions.
MOST PREP SAT CLASS
Faith Lutheran is proud to announce a new SAT preparation partnership with the founder and president of MostPrep, Mike Obstgarten. He will be running 6-week prep courses at 6:45 to 9:15pm in room 216 for juniors and seniors specifically for the SAT starting this summer for $600. Students interested in prepping for the ACT should still take this course as the exams are now similar enough that specific ACT courses are not necessary. This full-length course provides ample instruction and review of the concepts most frequently tested on the SAT, as well as the coaching and implementation of the test-taking techniques that have been proven to work, all while dispelling common myths and reassuring students that the task in front of them is not as daunting as it might seem. To sign up please fill out the form at this link a minimum of 2 weeks prior to the start of the class you are interested in. REGISTER The total $600 for the class will be added to your tuition bill once the class has begun. Contact Mr. Buikema at buikemad@flhsemail.org or Mike directly at mostprep@gmail.comwith questions.

DEVOTIONAL
Today’s Reading: Romans 15:4-13
Daily Lectionary: Isaiah 26:20-27:13; 1 John 4:1-21
And may the God of hope fill you with all joy (gaudio) and peace in believing, so that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. (Romans 15:13)
In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. Be positive. The future is bright. The sky is the limit for you. Everything is going to work out for you. It really is!
This isn’t only a mantra to repeat over and over again or some sort of crutch to get by with on a tough day. This isn’t the youthful optimism of a teenager who says, “I’m going to be president of the United States.” Nor is this the power of positivity. And it certainly isn’t some false gospel that if you believe, then God will make you rich.
God is the God of Hope. He has sent His Son to live your life and die your death that you might have hope: hope in the future, hope for a better tomorrow. Hope that you actually will be better than you were today. Hope that there will a day when the sin you fight isn’t going to drag you down. Hope for a better you for others. Hope in the power of God to save even you from this veil of tears. Hope in eternal life.
The world around you says otherwise: “You need to make your own reality. Everything is up to you. If you get better, it’ll be because you make it better.” You can try, but the universe is a cold place and things don’t always work out for you. The world lies to you with false hope; you can get better, you are better, you can do anything all by yourself.
Don’t listen to the world’s lies. Hope in yourself is a failed hope. You won’t, can’t, will never do the things on your own that you want. God has saved you from ever being on your own like that again.
Your hope is in God. That’s a real hope and true hope! God is going to be good to you, He’s going to make things right and good, and it’s going to work out because God is going to work it out for you in Christ. He already has. It’s up to Him to make it good in your world.
He never promises that it will be the way I want it to be. He’s a bigger God than that! It’ll be better than you or I could ever come up with on our own. For the God who didn’t spare His Son to save me, will make all things new for you.
What if you fail? What if you fall on your face? God will use that, too, for good. You’ll win even in your losses. You’ll live even in your death. That’s what He did for Jesus on His Cross. The God of hope does the same for you. You’ll see. But, don’t believe me. Believe Jesus. In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. –Rev. George Borghardt
