Short Video--Video 2--Overview of The Lord’s Prayer.TAKEAWAYS FROM THE LORD’S PRAYERThe words of the Lord’s Prayer empower us to approach God and the world more boldly. We ARE children of God and Jesus empowered us with this prayer.Prayer is not a “magic trick request line”. Prayer--whether in public or private is NOT about “having the ‘right’ words”. Prayer does not have to be a polished speech. Prayer is our chat time with God. God made us and knows us. We do not have to “work at” prayer to impress God.Did you ever go for a year without speaking to your Dad or Mom? Grandma? Of course not! Pray often! Pray every day! Strengthen your fellowship and connection and trust with God through daily regular prayer.PART THREE--THE SACRAMENT OF HOLY BAPTISMShort Video--Video 3--Means of GraceA Mighty What? Fortress? What is a Fortress? What does it mean--A Mighty Fortress is Our God….. Music tells a story. Martin Luther understood that. He wrote hundreds of hymns and songs of liturgy. His most famous song is: A Mighty Fortress Is Our God. This is the “Theme” song for Lutherans. We sing it on Reformation Sunday and Confirmation Sunday and at Ordinations. Etc. Short Video--Video 4-- A Mighty Fortress Is Our GodShort Video--Video 5--Baptism--what is it?TAKEAWAYS FROM THE SACRAMENT OF HOLY BAPTISMThrough baptism, God forgives sin, redeem us from death and the devil, and gives salvation to all who believe it.Baptism is a living embodiment of the gift of grace we received from God.Why do we baptize babies? Do people need to be baptized again when they are older? If it true that some denominations believe that one must be of an age of “accountability” or understanding to be able to accept what God has done through Jesus to be baptized. Lutherans believe that baptism is very appropriate for a baby--so that baby is sealed early in life in the name of the Triune God. Baptism does NOT fade over time. In every case, the first baptism (and only one needed) indeed “took”. God’s promises and grace do NOT fade over time.Baptism is a direct command from Jesus. Remember that Sacraments are commanded directly from Christ.Baptism is the binding of the Word of God with a physical element--water--infused by the power of the Holy Spirit.We are NOT “baptized Lutheran”. We are Christians and we are simply “baptized”.Wow! This is great timing. Confirmation is ‘THE AFFIRMATION OF BAPTISM’. You are sealed at your baptism and God’s saving grace has already begun to work in you and through you. YOU ARE SAVED BY GRACE. Now, at Confirmation, you are making a public statement of faith so affirm that you understand that at Baptism, you are saved by GRACE ALONE--now professing your FAITH ALONE IN CHRIST ALONE BY THE SCRIPTURES ALONE TO THE GLORY OF GOD ALONE!!!PART FOUR--LOOKING TO THE REST OF THIS WEEK AND NEXT WEDNESDAY…Activities for this week/Assignments for Next Wednesday…Confirmands: Get here tomorrow as soon as you can.
