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: Deuteronomy 31:30-32:27; Matthew 20:1-16
Am I not allowed to do what I choose with what belongs to me? Or do you begrudge my generosity?’ So the last will be first, and the first last.” (Matthew 20:15-16)
In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. At some point in our childhood we’ve probably all played the “opposite game”. You know the rules: up is down; yes is no; near is far, and so on.
In the parable of the laborers in the vineyard, it seems like Jesus is playing the opposite game with us, too. Only it’s not a game; it’s simply how Jesus works. The lost are found. The least are greatest. The poor in spirit are rich in His grace. The weak are strong. The humble are exalted. The dead are raised up. Sinners are forgiven freely in Jesus crucified and risen. Or, as Jesus says in this parable, “the last will be first.”
Jesus’ way, the way of the cross, sounds absolutely outrageous to our sinful flesh and the world. In this life, “if you’re not first, you’re last; make that list and check it twice; last one to the playground is a rotten egg.” Our sinful flesh loves to talk about fairness and getting what we deserve because we think (foolishly) that we deserve something good from God.
Thank God He’s not fair! Thank God He doesn’t give us the punishment and death sentence we deserve, but rather gives His undeserved grace and His steadfast love. Jesus, who is first, became last, so that we who are last become first in Him.
At the end of the day, all the laborers received the same wage. They didn’t get what they deserved. Neither do we. In Jesus, we get something far better. Jesus took what we deserved: death, judgment, and God’s wrath, so that we get what we don’t deserve: life, forgiveness, and eternal joy. In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. -Rev. Samuel Schuldheisz
Thine the kingdom Thine the prize Thine the wonderful surprise Thine the banquet then the praise Then the justice of Thy ways Thine the glory Thine the story Then the welcome to the least Then the wonder all increasing at Thy feast at Thy feast. (Thine the Amen, Thine the Praise, LSB 680:4)
