CPR: Are we sinning when we do not glorify God?

Isn’t it impossible to always glorify God? If it can’t be done, what’s the point? How can we navigate these difficult questions as a Christian? Considering questions like these in a broad and narrow way while defining terms help us relate back to the wisdom of God’s Word and Christ our Savior. Join Pastors Mark Tiefel and Neal Radichel for this discussion on what it means to glorify God when it comes to our daily sin and sanctification. source https://burdenblessing.podbean.com/e/cpr-are-we-sinning-when-we-do-not-glorify-god/ [...]

Apostles Series | Judas Iscariot

Despite being the one who betrayed Jesus, Judas Iscariot is probably one of the most well known of the apostles. Pastors Nathanael and Mark dig into what the Bible tells us about Judas and explore questions surrounding why he would betray Jesus and what might have been going on in Judas’ head as these events unfolded. Even though Judas is seen as an enemy of Christ, it is important that we humbly account for the ways in which we might... Read More Read More [...]

Skeptics Series | The Disciples Stole Jesus’ Body

One of the most popular arguments against the resurrection of Jesus is that the disciples stole Christ’s body out of the tomb. This response to the resurrection was first formulated by the Jewish leaders who executed Jesus. Pastors Neal and Mark take a look at this argument and explain how the Bible thoroughly debunks it in several different areas. In fact, this lie first given by the Jewish leaders actually further substantiates the miracle of the resurrection today. source https://burdenblessing.podbean.com/e/skeptics-series-the-disciples-stole-jesus-body/ [...]

Apostles Series | Paul

Paul was one of the most influential apostles yet perhaps the most unlikely as well. Formerly known as Saul, and a great persecutor of the Church, Paul’s story reminds us that the grace of Christ can reach anyone. No sin is too great to be forgiven and no individual too lost to be used in the service of God’s kingdom. source https://burdenblessing.podbean.com/e/apostles-series-paul-1651676323/ [...]

Skeptics Series | Jesus Didn’t Really Die on the Cross (The Swoon Theory)

Our next installment of the Skeptics Series looks directly at the death and resurrection of Jesus. One of the most popular skeptical arguments about Jesus’ resurrection is that He never died to begin with, at least not on the cross on Good Friday. Often referred to as the Swoon Theory, this idea proposes that Jesus merely fainted on the cross and revived Himself in the tomb. Pastors Mark and Neal dig into this theory to show how God thoroughly addresses... Read More Read More [...]

Sent to Pakistan - OCT 2024

This trip to the Islamic Republic of Pakistan has been a long time in the making. Pastor Tim Daub came into contact with a group of believers and began sharing God's word with them via online video meetings a few years ago. During the past 3+ years, he has conducted weekly online classes with the group, taking them through Luther's Small Catechism and other more in-depth studies of God's word. Several months ago, the group decided to form a congregation and begin meeting for worship every Sunday. They choose to call themselves the CLC Pakistan. They are led by Pastor [...]
