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 4:7-23; 1 Timothy 3:1-16
And I said to the nobles and to the officials and to the rest of the people, “The work is great and widely spread, and we are separated on the wall, far from one another. In the place where you hear the sound of the trumpet, rally to us there. Our God will fight for us.” (Nehemiah 4:19-20)
In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. Nehemiah and his people rebuilt Jerusalem with one hand on their swords and the other on their tools. They had to answer to God about how they used their swords. The man who takes the sword steps into the way of the sword. In that way things are settled by the sword. But this is not ultimately God’s way, not the Calvary way. Jesus had a far different and greater battle and victory before Him. In the battle to come, Jesus would have no need of a sword. To use a sword would turn His mission into something of which there is already enough in this world.
God’s kingdom comes through His victories of love. God uses force only where love fails. Jesus came to suffer and die FOR YOUR SINS—to drink the cup of God’s wrath toward sin FOR YOU. When you hear that Jesus wrestled to hold Himself to the will of God, it was love that held Him to it. Loving God and loving you, Jesus concluded, “Not as I will, but as You will” (Matthew 26:39). Jesus was there for God. He was there FOR YOU. The victory of answering for your sins according to the plan of God was the victory of Jesus. This is the God who was prepared to suffer your hell FOR YOU.
When we use force, we acknowledge that love has failed. To build up, to prop up, to carry, and to suffer for each other is the work of love. All our good hangs on Jesus’ going on to Calvary. When we draw our swords this spells defeat. When we raise our fists against each other this spells defeat. When we whip each other with our tongues this spells defeat. Where a man is crushed, a congregation divided, a church killed, love has failed. Jesus’ way is the way of love, the way through God’s wrath and suffering and death and hell to be YOUR SAVIOR. In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.
How deep the love of Christ, Descending to a cross! He bears within His wounded hands All human pain and loss. (How Wide the Love of Christ, LSB 535:4)
