opportunities for growth and service. What we specializein is not programs or productions, but simply The Gospelof Our Lord Jesus. Christ, His Word, and the Cross arewhat provide the foundation for faith and ministry. If youare interested in learning more about Peace With ChristLutheran Church, please call the church office at 226-4721.Pastor Patrick would welcome the opportunity to visit withyou personally.

A READING FROM THE BOOK OF CONCORDFORMULA OF CONCORD, EPITOME

ARTICLE IV: GOOD WORKSLAST SUNDAY OF THE CHURCH YEAR

Condensed from CONCORDIA: THE LUTHERAN CONFESSIONS, copyright

2005,2006 by Concordia Publishing House. Used by permission. All rights reserved. Topurchase a copy of CONCORDIA, call 800-325-3040.

Whether good works are necessary for preserving faith, right-

eousness, and salvation is another issue in dispute. This again

is of high and great importance, for "the one who endures to

the end will be saved". Faith [does not] lay hold of righteous-

ness and salvation only in the beginning and then resigns its

office to works as though they had to sustain faith, the right-eousness received, and salvation. It means that the promise,

not only of receiving, but also of retaining righteousness and

salvation, is firm and sure to us.

They were broken off because of their unbelief, but you stand

fast through faith. (Romans 11:20) [He will] present you holy

and blameless and above reproach before Him, if indeed you

continue in the faith.(Colossians 1:22-23)

By God's power [you] are being guarded through faith for a

salvation. (1 Peter 1:5)

Obtaining the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your

souls. [1 Peter 1:9]

It is clear from God's Word that faith is the proper and only

means through which righteousness and salvation are not onlyreceived, but also preserved by God. Therefore, it right to re-

ject [those who] say our good works preserve salvation, or the

righteousness of faith that has been received, or even faith

itself. (paragraphs 30, 34-35)

Prayer and Study

Date: November 22 - November 28

Luther Quote: When a Christian begins to know Christ as his

Lord and Savior, who has redeemed him from death, and is

brought into His dominion and heritage, his heart is thououghly

permeated by God; then he would like to help everybody attain

this blessedness. For he has no greater joy than the treasuredknowledge of Christ. So he begins to teach and exhort others,

confesses and commends his blessedness before everybody, and

sighs and prays that they, too, may come to this grace.
