We know that unbelief will have consequences in the future—eternal separation from God.
But unbelief also has consequences now. The unbeliever is unable to see the world as it really is. The unbeliever cannot see the danger that lurks behind temptation. He cannot see the blessing contained in God’s Word. The unbeliever cannot see the tragic fate that lies in his future, and he certainly cannot see the Savior.
The Old Testament said that restoration of sight to the blind was one of the works of the Messiah. In his ministry, Jesus healed those who were physically blind. But even if our eyes work just fine, we still need Jesus to give us spiritual vision. Jesus said, “I am the light of the world.” Christ comes to shine his light into our darkened eyes that we might see him and live. Because of him and his work, we can see!

Receiving Communion Roster
Before the worship service, we are asking our members to announce their desire to receive the Lord’s Supper on the sign-up sheet located in the entry to the sanctuary.
This will help us keep our records updated and also help with our annual reports to the Synod. If you don’t get the chance to sign the sheet before worship, please do so after the service has ended.
Please join us for Weekday Bible Study
If you are interested in attending a weekly Bible Study looking at this Sunday’s sermon and the text it was based on, please contact Bill Longhenry, at 507-829-6361 or by email at william.longhenry@gmail.com. The class will continue this Thursday, here at church beginning at 6:00 pm with a shared meal. Bring a friend and enjoy your time with your fellow believers in studying God’s Word.
The daily devotional Meditations are going fast
Have you experienced the power of a daily encounter with God? We believe so strongly in your personal relationship with God that we provide a free daily devotional to encourage you to meditate on God’s Word and message for your life. Discover the Scripture-based, soul searching studies that will inspire you to trust in God and live out the Gospel. Each meditation is clearly written and easy to understand, with a special Scripture reading, devotion, and prayer for each day. Pick up yours on Sunday.
The Bible says, “Each person should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not out of grief nor out of compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver” (2 Corinthians 9:7-8)..
