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: Malachi 3:6-4:6; Matthew 4:12-25
“For behold, the day is coming, burning like an oven, when all the arrogant and all evildoers will be stubble. The day that is coming shall set them ablaze, says the Lord of hosts, so that it will leave them neither root nor branch. But for you who fear my name, the sun of righteousness shall rise with healing in its wings. You shall go out leaping like calves from the stall. And you shall tread down the wicked, for they will be ashes under the soles of your feet, on the day when I act, says the Lord of hosts.” (Malachi 4:1-3)
In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. The prophet Malachi takes the description of the sun from Genesis 1 and uses it to point to the work of Jesus, the “Sun of Righteousness.” Malachi writes that “…for you who fear My name, the Sun of Righteousness will rise, and salvation under His wings,“ (which are God’s Word and Sacraments), “and you will go out and come in, leaping like fatted calves.” In Luke’s Gospel, Zechariah calls the Lord Jesus, “the rising from on high” (Luke 1:78). In Matthew’s Gospel Jesus “shines like the sun“ (Matthew 17:2). Also, in Revelation 1:16, Jesus is the true Sun of Righteousness. And in Revelation 22:5 we read that the heavenly city of Jerusalem will need no sun or moon to shine, because the glory of the Lord will be her lamp. The Lamb of God will be her light.
Whenever the sun rises and sets, turn your thoughts to Jesus and say, “Just as I could not see the sun if it didn’t reveal itself to me by its light, I would not be able to know You if You didn’t reveal Yourself to me by the light of Your Word.” The Sun scatters clouds and waters. The Sun begins and ends the day. The Sun fills gardens with flowers, plants, and herbs. The Sun makes the earth fertile. The Sun is the light of the world. The Sun of Righteousness is greater than all the angels in heaven. He is greater than all creation. He is true God and true man. He is greater than all the prophets and His benefits are greater than you can ever dream of. He will not pass over your need. The Sun of Righteousness has risen and salvation is under His wings! That’s the Gospel. In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.
O Morning Star, how fair and bright! You shine with God’s own truth and light, Aglow with grace and mercy! Of Jacob’s race, King David’s son, Our Lord and master, You have won Our hearts to serve You only! Lowly, holy! Great and glorious, All victorious, Rich in blessing! Rule and might o’er all possessing! (O Morning Star, How Fair and Bright, LSB 395:1)
