2 Happy new year! Welcome to 2017! As we begin this new year I am reminded of how God makes things new. More specifically, how he makes me new. In Paul's 2nd letter to the Corinthians he reminded the believer of some very simple truths that can shape your reality in meaningful ways. Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come. 2 Corinthians 5:17 ESV There are several key parts to this verse. Are you in Christ? Do you believe in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior? Have you been baptized into Jesus life death and resurrection? Then you have been included in Christ! You are a new creation. New. What does it mean to be new? New car smell. Fresh bread. Newborn baby. You are a new creation in Jesus! A new person! The old has gone. Old. What does it mean to be old? Flat soda. Hard bread. Moldy cheese. The old has gone...and yet we know that part of our old nature clings to us so that we regularly need to be renew-ed in Christ! The new has come. Has come! Meaning, it is not just about what will be. It is about our current reality by faith in Jesus. He has come to make you new and you are being made new by the re-new-ing of your mind (Romans 12:1-2) As you start this new year, re-new your walk with Jesus as He has come to make you new! In His grip Pastor Jason Boetcher

6 Check us out on Facebook!! LCMS Stewardship Article: December 2017 Celebrating New Years is a celebration of the past and the future. We take stock of the past with thanksgiving and sometimes even relief (that it s over), and we look to the future in the hope and anticipation and perhaps even worry of what it holds. The point is that New Year s celebrations remind us of who we are as opposed to who we would like to be; what we have done in comparison to what we want to do. It reminds us of our accomplishments, but mostly it reminds us of our failures. What we ve lost. Who we ve lost. New Years is our own version of Dickens classic A Christmas Carol. And we all play Scrooge. We are visited by the ghosts of our pasts, presents, and futures. St. Paul writes: The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each one must give as he has made up his mind, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work. As it is written, He has distributed freely, he has given to the poor; his righteousness endures forever. He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness. You will be enriched in every way for all your generosity, which through us will produce thanksgiving to God (2 Cor 9:6 15). St. Paul tells us that the Lord of all will both supply and increase what you need to give to the church for its work in and for the world. He tells us that this work that God is doing in us will enrich and bless us in every way and through this it will produce thanksgiving to God. With this in mind, here is some practical advice to help you take stock of your giving of years past, which will help you to change what needs to be changed, improved, or done away with altogether. First, attend the Divine Service to receive God s gifts of forgiveness, life, and salvation. If you ve not been faithful in attending worship to hear the preaching of God s Word, to receive forgiveness, and feast of the rich food of our Lord s body and blood for the eternal benefit of your body and soul, then repent and come to receive the gifts God freely gives. God doesn t want your money. He wants you all of you (Matt 22:20 22). Second, pray for the Lord s help. Your right as a Christian is to speak with your Father, the King of all creation, freely through His Son, our Lord, Jesus Christ. Go to the throne of grace and ask for strength and wisdom to follow His bidding faithfully (John 15:1 16). Third, consider what the Church is and what the Church does. The Church is a mercy place. It inhales the mercy of the Father by the death, resurrection, and ascension of His Son through the preaching of the Gospel and the Sacraments. It exhales this mercy in love toward the neighbor. You are a member of the Church, of God s family. Thus, you are not only a recipient of God s mercy, but a bearer of that mercy for the life of the world. You spread that mercy in showing mercy through the generous giving of your income to support the work of the Church in and for the world, as the Israelites did in the Old Testament (Lev 27:1 34). Fourth, take stock of your current giving in light of the New Testament s teaching on supporting the work of the Church. Are you giving of your first fruits, taking it out of your paycheck first, or does God get what s left over? Are you giving voluntarily and cheerfully? Are you giving proportionally and generously? The Old Testament required a tithe, ten percent. The New Testament gives freedom to be generous, to give more for the Church s work. Are you relying on God s promise to provide and increase what you need to do His work? If your answer is no to any of these, repent. If God gave you His only Son, will He not provide for you all things, even physical things? Trust Him, His Word, and heed it. So, don t let your past define your future. Rather, commit for the year a generous proportion of your income, which is God s gift to you for this body and life. be proclaimed.
