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
Daily Lectionary: Nehemiah 2:11-20; 4:1-6; 1 Timothy 2:1-15
Now when Sanballat heard that we were building the wall, he was angry and greatly enraged, and he jeered at the Jews. And he said in the presence of his brothers and of the army of Samaria, “What are these feeble Jews doing? Will they restore it for themselves? Will they sacrifice? Will they finish up in a day? Will they revive the stones out of the heaps of rubbish, and burned ones at that?” (Nehemiah 4:1-2)
In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. Under the storm of Sanballat’s anger and insults there’s a hidden, strange teaching that grows in the Israelites that quietly shapes a different spirit—a different obedience and way of life. They build on the foundation of God’s promises, which is a temple of the Holy Spirit that never wears out.
In the same way, St. Paul warns against using wood, hay, and stubble to build the Church of God. These materials are flammable. They are fuel in the fire of judgment on the day of the Lord. The smallest piece of wood will ignite. Those who build on the Church’s foundation with these materials will escape with their lives, but their work will be consumed. Paul, master-builder that he is, suggests “gold, silver [and] precious stones”—very poor fuel for fire—as the building materials. There’s a simplicity about these materials, just as there’s a simplicity in the way the Church is built on the foundation of God’s Name and Word: Jesus Christ.
It’s the simplicity of the new life by the Spirit in the water and Word of Baptism, of nurturing the life of faith and love on the life-giving Body and Blood of Jesus, of reordering the relationship of the sinner to God by the Word of forgiveness of sins spoken into the ear from the mouth of another. The simplicity of the Lord’s teaching is the handing of His Word from mouth to ear in the Ten Commandments, the Creed, and the Our Father. The way of God’s Word is the shape and content of the godly, obedient life: repentance, faith, holiness. And so we are shaped by a different Spirit, a different obedience and way of life that is built on the Christ who promised, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” And the Third Day, He rose from the dead. In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.
We are God’s house of living stones, Built for His own habitation. He through baptismal grace us owns Heirs of His wondrous salvation. Were we but two His name to tell, Yet He would deign with us to dwell With all His grace and His favor. (Built on the Rock, LSB 645:3)
