Online Health Sign-up for High School Students
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.
 
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
Today’s Reading: Malachi 4:1-6
Daily Lectionary: Isaiah 26:1-19; 1 John 3:1-24
But for all who fear my Name, the sun of righteousness shall rise up with healing in its wings. You shall go out leaping like calves from the stall…(Malachi 4:2)
In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. The Last Day is a good day. It’s the end of oppression and stress and suffering and death. It’s the Lord’s Day. The Last Day is going to be your best day.
God is going to save you. Nothing is going to stop Him. He will rip the very heavens apart and burn everything up to rescue you!
I know that life isn’t fun. People hurt us. We suffer without end. We get sick. We don’t get well. Our marriages fail and families break up. Sin is awful: murder, hate, disobedience, rape, adultery, fornication, stealing, slander, jealousy, lying, and coveting. Evil seems to reign. We are beaten, bruised, and just done. Nothing ever seems to get better!
Then, when it can’t get any worse, when we are so overrun that we can’t breathe any more, He comes! Jesus comes! God advents to save you! That’s the Last Day!
The Last Day is Gandalf showing up with the riders of Rohan at just the right time to save us from being overrun by orcs. It’s the police driving up when the burglar is about to steal your stuff. It’s the EMS resuscitating your loved one who just had a heart attack. It’s the guy on your team intercepting the pass in the end zone so your team can win.
Jesus comes! All your enemies are defeated! They were defeated on the Cross. That’s true today by faith. The Last Day: you see it, you experience it as Jesus comes with all the angels and archangels and opens up a barrel of heavenly victory for you and all those who believe.
He advents and sin is done. The devil is thrown into hell. And there will be no more death, no more suffering, and no more pain. If you could cry, God Himself would wipe your tears away. Your enemies? They will be defeated!
See? The Last Day is going to be a great day for you, for Jesus has already suffered all the bad for you. When He comes again, He will show you how much of an Advent gift the Last Day truly will be! In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. –Rev. George Borghardt
Lo! He comes with clouds descending, Once for ev’ry sinner slain; Thousand, thousand saints attending Swell the triumph of His train: Alleluia, Alleluia, alleluia! Christ the Lord returns to reign (Lo! He Comes with Clouds Descending, LSB 336:1)
