If you are in need of completing your high school health credit, the Spring 1 session of online Health begins January 13. If you would like to be enrolled in this class, you must fill out the form at this linkby Friday January 3. You will be charged an extra $350 on your tuition bill for this class if you are not enrolled in a study hall, early dismissal or late arrival for the 2019-2020 school year. If you took Health in 8th grade here at Faith or have taken Health at Las Vegas Day School, Adelson, Cornerstone, Alexander Dawson, Lake Mead Christian Academy or The Meadows in 7th or 8th grade, your high school Health requirement is already complete and you do not need this class. I’m sorry but CCSD middle school Health is not cleared to count for high school credit. Contact Dan Buikema at buikemad@flhsemail.org if you have any questions.

 

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: John 1:35-42a
Daily Lectionary: Isaiah 6:1-7:9; 1 Peter 2:13-25

In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. Jesus is a man on a mission, God on a mission! He’s there to do one thing, to be one thing: the Lamb of God. John was there, just another man on a mission. He was only there to point people to Jesus, the Lamb of God. Andrew was there, too, was on a mission, too: to receive the Lord’s Word and point others to it.

Andrew was being filled up with the Lord’s Word in John’s preaching and teaching. He was baptized “for the forgiveness of sins.” (Luke 3:3) He was where the Lord was at in the delivering of His Word. Then Andrew was hanging out with the Word of God Himself, Jesus. He was filled up with the Lord’s Word, His Gifts, with seeing Him risen from the dead on the Third Day. Filled up with the Lord’s “Go and make disciples by baptizing and teaching” (Matthew 28:19-20), and that’s what he did. Andrew preached and taught and baptized and forgave and gave out Jesus’ Body and Blood for the forgiveness of sins, just as Jesus gave him to do.

You are filled up with the Lord’s Word, too. Nothing else will do for you, will it? No other priorities except to hear Jesus, to be filled up with His Word and His Gifts, just like Andrew was. Your only question is: “Where are you staying, Lord?” (John 1:38) Where are you preaching, where are you teaching, where are you baptizing (John 4:2), where are you giving out your Body and Blood? Wherever that’s going on is where you want to be, where you go, where you are, because there Jesus is Lamb of God for you.

Jesus is your Lamb of God: crucified for you. Jesus is your Lamb of God: delivered to you in His Word and Gifts through your own personal Andrew, your pastor. That’s Jesus’ mission: for you and to you. Lamb of God at Calvary. Lamb of God at your church. He’s your God and Savior. He’s your faithful Lamb and Shepherd, giving up of Himself to you. Tomorrow He does it again. In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. –Rev. Aaron Fenker
