Let’s rediscover the beauty of God's uncomplicated gift of salvation and how it frees us to joyfully participate in His work.
Questions for the Week: KEEP IT SIMPLE: Reformation
In what ways do we tend to overcomplicate our relationship with God, and how can we simplify it in light of the message of salvation by grace?
Read John 10:22-30 How does the Jews’ request of Jesus overcomplicate things? How does Jesus’ response simplify what He is about to do?
What are some practical ways we can live out the understanding that salvation is a gift, not something we earn? How does this affect our daily lives and interactions with others?
How can we effectively share the message of salvation by grace with others, especially those who may be struggling with legalistic or works-based beliefs?

Bible study traced Mark 9:2–50 into Mark 10:1–52, emphasizing humility over status, protecting “little ones,” radical measures against sin, God’s design for marriage, childlike faith, the danger of wealth, servant greatness, and true spiritual vision.
The shoes you put on every day when you work or shop are actually a mask of God, they are the very way He walks into the world to provide for His creation.
What a great weekend. We welcomed in 12 new members at Grace Lutheran PSL. We Also celebrated Pastor Cris’ 10th anniversary at Grace.
God didn't give you gifts just to keep them in storage. Jesus frees us to stop hoarding our blessings and joyfully use our time, talents, and resources for the sake of our neighbors.
Bible study on October 21, 2026 explored humility, “saltiness,” prayer and fasting, welcoming children, marriage and divorce, warnings about stumbling blocks and Gehenna, discernment about ministry done “in Jesus’ name,” and Jesus’ call to peace—setting up next week’s discussion on the rich young ruler.
