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.

Today’s Reading: Luke 17:20-30
Daily Lectionary: Jeremiah 29:1-19; Matthew 26:36-56
Daily Lectionary: Jeremiah 29:1-19; Matthew 26:36-56
Remember Lot’s wife. (Luke 17:32)
In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. Jesus begins today’s reading by cautioning the Pharisees that even as they looked for God’s kingdom, it was already being revealed in their midst. Sadly, their spiritual blindness prevented them from seeing Him as the embodiment of that kingdom.
As our Lord then spoke to His disciples about the Last Days, so He also speaks to us. Mixing the present with near- and far-future, He testified about His coming Passion and the End of Days with, perhaps, a nod to the upcoming destruction of the Jewish homeland by Rome.
The world—even we Christians—will receive no more notice of the imminence of the kingdom’s final coming than would these first century Pharisees. Godly and ungodly alike will live out their everyday lives until there are no more days in which to live.
“Special” preparation will remain the “ordinary” things of the Church. The Holy Spirit readies us by Word and Sacrament, keeping us active in faith and love, and leading us to receive the gifts and respond in prayer.
So why Lot’s wife? She embodies those who look back longingly on the things of the world. Unable to trust the unseen completion of the promise to save her and her family, she glanced back toward what she considered safe. But there is no safety in returning to worldly thoughts and earthly delights. In them comes only doom.
Instead, we journey forth with the faithful. Hearing the testimony of Scripture’s “cloud of witnesses,” we lay aside and look away from worldly entanglements, instead “looking to Jesus” as He guides us forth into life without end (Hebrews 12:1-2). In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. -Rev. Walter Snyder
Come, let us fix our sight on Christ who suffered, He faced the cross, His sinless life He offered; He scorned the shame, He died, our death enduring, Our hope securing. (Saints, See the Cloud of Witnesses, LSB 667:4)
