Our Savior Lutheran Church and Preschool

Our mission: To know Christ personally … and make him known to others.

Each One… Reach One...

Reason Six: The sixth reason God wants you to witness is because of the benefits to those who witness.  Witnessing stimulates your spiritual growth.  Witnessing leads you to pray and to study God’s Word and encourages you to depend on Christ.  As you witness in the power of the Holy Spirit, you sow love and joy and peace.  According to the law for sowing and reaping, you always harvest what you sow and ever more.  Fore examples, if you sow love, you will harvest love.  If you sow joy, you will reap joy.  If you sow peace, you will reap peace.  And always, the harvest is greater than the seed sown.

 

 

The Tour de France is a race like no other.  As the crowning event of cycling, this race lasts more than three weeks in 23 stages, pitting the finest cyclists in the world against one another. 

The cyclists also belong to teams that help determine whether they can win the yellow jersey in Paris.  The race requires intensive training, a strong team, speed and endurance, the ability to win both on flat land and in the mountains across Europe. The winner demonstrates skill, conditioning, and a clear focus on the goal.

God calls us forgiven sinners, washed clean in the blood of Jesus Christ, to embark upon a race like no other — setting the world ablaze with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  He leads us to people of many different backgrounds and needs.  He points out the temptations and obstacles in the way.  He trains us for the race through His Word and Sacraments among the assembled people of God, our team.  Then He sends us forth to win as many as possible.  What a thrill to ride in our spiritual our de France: a race like no other!
