St. Paul’s Evangelical Lutheran, Howards Grove, WI - Sept. 11th, 2022

Good afternoon St. Paul's family and friends, 

God's word works. It exposes sin and sinners. Where sinners side with sin the church of God is called to respond to warn the sinner and even excommunicate. Such a witness is done in love as the final and lasting witness. And it works! Some take it to heart and turn back. When sinners who had been stuck in sin turn away from it and repent, then what is the church to do? Our readings today delve into that response...we fully forgive them and fully restore them - as Christ has done for us. 

God bless your worship this weekend!
Pastor Mueller
