And Jesus spoke many things to them in parables saying,

Behold the sower went out to sow; and as he sowed, some seeds fell

beside the road, and the birds came and ate them up. And others

fell upon the rocky places, where they did not have much soil; and

immediately they sprang up; because they had no depth of soil. But

when the sun had risen, they were scorched; and because they had

no root, they withered away. And others fell among the thorns, and

the thorns came up and choked them out. And others fell on thegood soil, and yielded a crop, some a hundredfold, some sixty , and

some thirty. He who has ears, let him hear.

Not long ago I received a phone call from a man whowanted to talk. He was interested in learning more about what

our church teaches. I had initially spoken to this man years ago.

At that time he had expressed interest in coming to church and

studying the Scriptures and learning what Lutherans teach and

believe. But he never did. I was a bit disappointed, but knew

that if it were Gods will, he would one day find his way back. Itwas, and He did.

Im sharing this story with you because it is an illustration

of the parable that Jesus tells here in Matthew thirteen.

Among

other things, this parable provides a powerful reminder of the

Primary Agent in proclaiming the Gospel. Too often we think of

ourselves as the sowers. We are given the impression that in or-

der to grow the kingdom we must get out there in fields white

for harvest and work hard at bringing people to Christor at

least to our church. It is a common misconception, and quite

frankly confuses not only the law and the Gospel, but also theGiver and the Receiver. You see, and this might come as

a surprise to you, the sower in this parable is NOT US. It is

Christ! God Himself does the work of planting the Gospel

through the Word and Sacraments. The Holy Spirit is the One

who waters these seeds of salvation in baptism. We are noth-

ing more than the tools that He uses to get this work done.

Sometimes the seed of Gods Word is snatched away by

the devil. How many times I have seen a person come very

close to conversion, only to be deceived by the devil and to re-

turn to their former way of life!

Sometimes the seed falls on rocky places. This is the

person who receives the word immediately with joy, and yet

his temporary experience is not rooted in Gods Word, and

therefore when he faces some sort of struggle, or when his

new-found faith does not provide the fruits that he desires, he

falls away.

Sometimes the seed is choked out by the worries of this

world, the desires of ones heart, the deceitfulness of riches.

This seems to be an affliction common to our country.

But there are those seeds that fall upon good soil, that

is to say that the word germinates, and brings forth fruit.

These are the ones who are the believers in Christ. The ones

who, when the final harvest comes, will not be burned up as

chaff, but will be delivered into the granary of heaven.

There is something important to note here; something

that runs contrary to what we are led to believe. For we are

under the impression that the Church of Christ should be

growing by leaps and bounds, and that if it isnt something is

wrongand must be done! This is why we see new techniques,modern methods, and novel approaches being employed to

bring people into the church. But we must ask, is this what

Jesus really is teaching? Does He indicate, either here or else-

where, that the Gospel would be popular? Does He measure

success by numbers, or employ human standards to determine

effectiveness in outreach? I dont believe so. If that were

the case, Jesus would be considered quite a failure, for when

He died He was left not with the multitudes He fed and taught

on the mountainsides, but rather a handful of faithful follow-

ers, among whom the seed of salvation had been planted. They

went forth, the Holy Spirit using them as His instruments, inorder that more seed might be sown in other places. Those

seeds have borne fruit thirty, sixty, and even a hundredfold.

We are called not to convert, that is the work of the

Holy Spirit, but to allow Him to use us as instruments by

which the seed of salvation may be sown in others. It is not

our place to see the results, nor to depend upon them in order

to determine our effectiveness. That is Gods prerogative. But

sometimes, like the man who called me to talk, He allows the

privilege of seeing those seeds sprout!

Peace,

Pastor

Catechism Connection

Our series continues with the First Article of the

Apostles Creed, this month addressing Gods Provi-

dential care for His creation.

How does the universe still depend on God? God

continues to sustain all things by His wisdom and

power.

If God created and sustains all things, why is there

evil and suffering in the world? Quite simply, be-

cause of sin. But in the suffering, death, and resur-

rection of Jesus Christ God demonstrates His ulti-

mate and eternal power over sin and death. God in

His almighty power and love causes all things to

work together for the good of those who love Him.

What does God do to take care of me? He gives me

food and clothing and all that I need to support my

body and life. Ps. 145:15-16. In addition, He defendsme from danger and guards and protects me from

evil. Matt. 10:29-30

Why does God do this? Purely out of fatherly divine

goodness and mercy, without any merit or worthiness

in me.

What do we owe our Heavenly Father for this? It is

our duty to thank and praise, serve and obey Him.

Questions and Answers

During the cottage visits some of the questions have involved the

hymns that we sing on Sunday. I have decided to address a few

of these questions here. Allow me to begin by asking your

forgiveness. Please believe me when I say that I do not get some

secret delight in hearing the congregation struggle through an

unfamiliar hymn.

Who Chooses the Hymns? The buck stops here. I do. At times

in the past I have had the help of church musicians, organists,

music coordinators, and even a retired pastor. However, we

dont have any of these people on staff at Peace With Christ, so I

have been doing it. Hymns are chosen months in advance, and

are sent to the organists and other musicians in the congregation

for review. When they see a hymn that appears problematic or

too difficult, they let me know, and the hymn is changed.

Usually the hymns are intended to reflect the theme of the day.

If anyone would like I would be happy to show them the service

planning guide that I employ.

Why Do we sometimes sing hymns that are unsingable? To

ask a good Lutheran question, What does this mean? Hymnsare either more or less difficult depending on ones background,

experience, and ability in reading music. Sometimes the issue is

not whether they are singable, but whether they are familiar.

This too, is kind of tricky. Let me give an example. When I first

arrived in Papua New Guinea ALL of the hymns were difficult,

because they were sung in another language to unfamiliar tunes.

However, in time, they became much more singable as I

learned the language and the tune. I believe a similar principal

is in play in the church here. Are you familiar with the hymn

Gods Own Child I Gladly Say It? It is an unfamiliar hymn,

yet one that the SundaySchool children picked up on relativelyquickly. One solution for the difficult or unfamiliar hymns is for

us to sing them more often, and then they will become much more

singable. I will try to employ this tactic in the future.

What is the solution for this Problem? First, I dont consider this

to be a great problem. Fighting in the war, being diagnosed with

cancer, or having complications in childbirth is a problem.

Hymns that are challenging is an inconvenience. There are a

number of options that either have been, or could be employed.

Here are a few:

Pastor being more sensitive in choosing hymns that are

more familiar. I will do my best to do this.

Other musicians in the congregation are consulted for

feedback. See question #1.

Deaconess Claire has experience in worship planning

in college, and she will be providing some help, not

only with hymns and services, but also, hopefully, with

the youth choir.

We could hire a professional. A trained Organist/

Church musician would resolve this issue quite nicely.

The only question is, would the congregation be willingto pay for it?

Im glad that these concerns surfaced, and I hope that I have

addressed them at least in part. I also think it is important to be

thankful for what we have; organists, musicians and choir

members who give freely of their time and talents; new hymn

books to sing out of, and a safe environment in which to gather

together to worship and praise our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

When we think about it, it is much, much more than many

Christians in the rest of the world have.

Ryan Behm, Church Council President

My walk in faith began with my baptism as an infant. I was bap-tized at Mount Olive in Loveland, CO by Pastor Feider on August18, 1980. To this day I still have fond memories of attendingVBS and Christmas Services, as a child. I attended ImmanuelLutheran for my K-8 grades, which at the time I thought was tor-ture, but really was a blessing. In 1989, Immanuel began a largeexpansion of new classrooms and a gymnasium. My dad wouldalways spend his Saturdays volunteering his time at Immanuel

and I would frequently go with him. During the many days spenton the job, I remember meeting a number of gentlemen who werefrom a group called, Laborers for Christ. On one day, I workedwith a man named Pete White, who was one of the Laborers forChrist; in fact, he and I were interviewed by a reporter from theLoveland newspaper and they took our picture for the article (wewere working of course). It is nice to now worship with he andhis wife.

I attended Thompson Valley High School, which of course wasmy first experience at a public school. It was a very interesting

adjustment. In a way, being accustom to a private school had itsadvantages, but being at a public school had a very different at-mosphere both scholastically and socially. I focused a lot of myfree time playing soccer and basketball for the high school.

On September 26, 1996, during a soccer game with our crosstown rival, Loveland High, my life took quite a turn. I can stillsee the ball being passed to me and thats it. The next thing Iremember is the intermittent fluorescent lights one the ceiling as Iwas being wheeled down the hallway at Mckee Hospital in Love-land. It turns out, that a player from Loveland High elbowed me

in the back of the head and knocked me out. Apparently, I wasbrought to the hospital by ambulance and had a Cat Scan per-formed. The scan showed that I had a large mass on the left sideof my head that was taking up over twenty five percent of mybrain cavity. Because I had been hit so hard, I had a major con-cussion and ultimately the brain had no place to swell from theconcussion, creating me to black out. To make a long story short,

I have had four major brain surgeries and feel very blessed to behere today after all, the neurosurgeon gave me a 10% chance tosurvive my second surgery. PRAISE BE TO GOD!!!

After I graduated High School, I attended Concordia Universityin Saint Paul, MN. I received a degree in Finance and Marketing.Of course after I graduated, I discovered that Pastor Patrick hadalso graduated from Concordia St. Paul, as well. I had evenlived in the same dorms he had.

I serve as a Financial Advisor with Thrivent Financial for Luther-

ans. Working for a faith based company for over six years hasbeen a real blessing; especially working with fellow Lutherans inconnecting their financial goals with their faith. In addition, I en-joy being apart of what Thrivent is able to financially give to sup-port the Lutheran churches, ministries and communities, as a not-for-profit company.

I am married to my wife Taneal. We meet at a Lutheran churchand were actually set up by our Sunday school children that wetaught. Ill never forget them telling me the reasons that Tanealand I are meant for each other. In the end they were correct

We are expecting our first child due in mid-July. We are veryexcited!

2008 Thrivent Softball Tournament

After a one year hiatus, the Thrivent Financial for Lutherans softballtournament has returned. A collaboration between the North & SouthLarimer County Chapters of Colorado, and the Laramie CountyChapter of Wyoming; the tournament has raised thousands of dollarsin the past for many needy individuals and organizations. We hope toextend that legacy this year, as we reach out to our community withthe help of Thrivent.

This year the tournament will be held on Saturday, August 23rd from9:00 am - 4:00 pm at Centennial Park in Loveland (located at 1st &Taft). We hope to attract 12 teams, with pool play in the morning,followed by a group lunch with entertainment, then championshipplay in the afternoon. It is a Co-Ed tournament that is unique, in thatfor every $100 a team raises, they earn a run to use in a game. If youknow of a team that would like to participate, have them contact meat the phone number below by July 1st.

A crucial aspect of this tournament is that Thrivent Financial for Lu-therans is providing matching funds for money raised by the players

and churches. For every three dollars raised, Thrivent will match onedollar; in the form of Care in Regions and Care in Communitiesfunds. We have a total of $20,000 to be matched, so the impact onthe community could be substantial.

Our goal this year is to aid in funding several crucial organizationsthat support the disenfranchised in our midst - those struggling to liveday to day. Those groups are the House of Neighborly Service, Inter-faith Hospitality Network, Lutheran Family Services, and Habitat forHumanity and Thrivent Builds. Additionally, we are striving to helpprograms that aid in the development of strong character in our

youth; so we will provide funding for Lutheran Ranches of the



19/23


Rockies, and for the preschools of all of the churches involved inthe tournament. We also have one individual with medical needsthat will be helped.

House of Neighborly Service was founded in 1961 and was envi-sioned to be the central location where churches and other commu-nity members could refer people in need. HNS serves the Thomp-son R2J School District, which includes South Fort Collins, Love-land and Berthoud. Our goal as an agency is to provide help fortoday and hope for tomorrow as we directly impact the living con-ditions for low-income and impoverished residents. Money do-

nated by the Thrivent softball Tournament will supply dollarsneeded to provide the safety net for members of our communitywho find themselves in a crisis situation. The safety net includes:well-balanced and nutritious food baskets, clothing and smallhousehold items, utility helps, prescription and special medical as-sistance, emergency shelter, transportation helps, and resource re-ferrals that help prevent homelessness and promote self-sufficiency.

Angel House/Interfaith Hospitality Networkhas been operatingin Loveland since 2000. It is a shelter/self sufficiency program for

families with children. Angel House is the day center where allcase management takes place; which consists of goal setting,budget management, life skills training, nutrition, and parentingclasses. Education and employment improvement plays a big partin the life skills training. The ultimate goal for the family is to be ina position to find an apartment that can be sustained with the in-come they presently have. During the evenings the family willmove to one of eleven local churches to spend the evening in abedroom provided for them by a church, and all the families willeat the evening meal in a family style setting. Each Sunday thefamilies will move with their belongings to a new church. This will

continue for as long as the family is meeting all goals set withthem, and making progress towards graduation.

Lutheran Family Services is a multi-faceted agency serving Colo-rado since 1948. Programs specific to northern Colorado includeadoption and pregnancy counseling, foster care, family education,and refugee resettlement. Through LFS collaborations with con-gregations, municipalities, foundations, other human service provid-ers, and private donors, we believe we not only respond effectivelyto human need, but also have the best chance of alleviating thecauses of suffering altogether. For more information about theseprograms mentioned and others offered in this region, please visitour website atwww.lfsco.org.

Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian organi-zation dedicated to eliminating substandard housing and homeless-ness worldwide and to making adequate, affordable shelter a matterof conscience and action. Habitat is founded on the conviction thatevery man, woman and child should have a simple, decent, afford-able place to live in dignity and safety. Habitats ministry is basedon the conviction that to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ wemust reflect Christs love in our own lives by loving and caring forone another. Our love must not be words only - it must be true love,which shows itself in action. Habitat provides an opportunity for

people to put their faith and love into action, bringing diverse groupsof people together to make affordable housing and better communi-ties a reality for everyone.

Thrivent Builds is a partnership between Habitat for Humanity andThrivent Financial for Lutherans. Thrivent has committed $120 mil-lion over a four year period, having built over 650 homes already,with over 320 scheduled for this year. Thrivent pays for 65% of thehomes, the local Habitat affiliate pays 25%, and fundraising by localchurches completes the other 10%. The program also encouragesLutherans and Thrivent members to volunteer their time in con-

structing the home.

Lutheran Ranches of the Rockies operates two ranches in NorthernColorado: Sky Ranch, just north of Rocky Mountain National Park at9200 feet, and Sleepy Owl Ranch in the foothills of the Rockies. Fundsfrom the tournament will be used as follows: 20% will go into thecamper ship fund for use to assist with those who may request/need fi-nancial support; 20% will go into program enhancement which may betrails at Sleepy Owl Ranch and/or a winter tube run/summer slip-n-slide construction at Sky Ranch; 20% will go toward aesthetic improve-ments such as exterior paint for the Sky Ranch Shower house or SleepyOwl exterior paint; and 40% will go towards general operating funds -paying the bills.

Preschools of Participating Churches: Church preschools provide animportant foundation to our children in the areas of Love of the Lord,respect, integrity, discipline, and early learning. We hope to supportthem in the areas of providing programming and support for low in-come students.

Mark Carnes: In September 2004, Mark was in a very bad car acci-dent, and as a result has severe spinal problems. He has had 11 opera-tions and has one more to go, but this surgery requires a very skilledspecialist to implant electrodes in his spine for pain relief. He is on So-

cial Security Disability and has Medicare, but this operation is not cov-ered and will cost about $7000 to $8000. He is a member of RedeemerLutheran Church.

If you would like to participate in the tournament, or would like tomake a contribution, please contact your church team representative, orTom Aberle, 1429 Red Oak Ct. Fort Collins, CO 80525.
