Messiah's Youth Group got together on Friday, April 17 to make homemade
pizza and enjoy a game night. Twenty-four youth were in attendance. Mr. Gerald
Oster directed kitchen traffic as he lead the group in making delicious pizza crust
from scratch. Twelve large pizzas were created with a number of delicious
toppings including pepperoni, sausage, peppers, green and black olives, onions,
pineapple, ham, and multiple blends of cheese. After eating, the group split up
to play a variety of games. Pastor Schaller's devotion focused on Jesus'
purposeful resurrection, including how the grave cloths were neatly folded
Easter morning. After devotion, the perfect spring weather and cool dark
evening lured the group outside for a rousing game of Ghost in the Graveyard.

Newsletter, which will contain details of coming outings. To join the e-mail

Communion Next Weekend: Announcements
for registration may be made to one of the
pastors or by signing the sheets on the table in
the narthex. As an aid to self-examination, we
offer the following from C.F.W. Walther on the
blessings from Communion.
The apostle [Paul] wishes to say: consider beloved Christians, that
when you receive the blessed cup and the blessed bread, each one
partakes of the body and blood of Christ; they are both common to all
of you. You come into body-and-blood fellowship with one another.
For just as many grains become one bread, so in the Holy Supper, you,
though you are many, become one Body, one mas are partakers of the
4
-4-
one bread and with it one and the same body and blood of Christ.
Because of the presence and participation of the body of Christ, the
Holy Supper is a meal of the most intimate fellowship and, therefore,
at the same time, the highest lovemeal. Just as fervent love is
demanded, so fervent love is delivered. We all come together, as
children of the same family, to the table of our common, heavenly
Father. As great as the distinction between communicants in civic life
may be, in the Holy Supper all distinctions between communicants in
civic life may be, in the Holy Supper all distinctions evaporate. We are
all the same, in that we each eat the same earthly and heavenly bread
and drink the same earthly and heavenly drink. In this Meal, the
subject and his king, the slave and his master, the beggar and the rich,
the child and the old man, the wife and the husband, the simple and
the learned, truly all communicants stand as the same poor sinners
and beggars, hungry and thirsty for grace. Although one may appear in
a rough apron while another in velvet and satin, adorned with gold
and pearls, when they depart, all take with them that for which they
hunger and thirst: Christ’s blood and righteousness as their beauty and
glorious dress. No one receives a better food and better drink than the
other. All receive the same Jesus, and with Him, the same
righteousness.

Mon Acts 4:23-33 Our friends prayed for the Creator to solve their specific

problem, knowing that He who had maneuvered Herod, Pilate, the Gentiles,
and the Jews into serving His purposes (23-28) could easily make their
temporary problem fit into the long-range progress for His people (29). Note:
They did not seek revenge on their enemies but rather asked God to use His
power defensively, prompting Christians to speak boldly and to validate the
gospel with miracles (30).
God cared enough to do both (31-33).
Tues John 10:7-18 Jesus is still on the job, protecting us, His sheep; we know
Jesus as the Door to heaven, through whom we have (right now) eternal life
(7-10). The Good Shepherd is self-sacrificing rather than self-serving (11-13),
which makes all the difference. Jesus is bonded to us/His flock as He is
bonded to His Father (14-15), and He with our Father faithfully accompanies
us from grave to glory, for Jesus always fulfills His assignments (17-18).
Wed 1 John 2:24-3:2 Being rescued by the Good Shepherd is prelude to
staying with Him throughout life. We concentrate on abiding in God’s Word
(24) from here to eternity (25), holding tightly to God’s hand (26-27) as the
Spirit enables our sanctified life-style (28-29).
Amazing goodness! Love divine! Oh, may our grateful
hearts adore
The matchless grace nor yield to sin Nor wear its cruel
fetters more! (TLH 141:5)
Thurs Psalm 23 How familiar and precious! We join our hearts with David in
confessing our faith in Jesus and our dependence on Jesus (1-3) through life’s
changing scenes, for He continues to bless us with His love and favor (4-5).
We rely on Jesus every day of our life, and we long to go home to Him (6).
Fri John 15:9-17 If you love Jesus, you are more than willing to act upon His
orders, just as He loved His Father and acted upon His Father’s orders (9-10).
He expects us to love one another as He loves us, generously and sacrificially,
with the best interest for the other’s welfare. What a life—to be friends with
Jesus and to share His love with one another! Praise the Lord!
Sat Acts 5:27-42 Sprung from jail and acting under God’s orders to preach
Jesus and teach others, the apostles ran into more trouble from the Jewish
bigwigs and were hauled into court again (27-28). Under interrogation, they
presented a simple defense that was simply positive (29-32). Although the
council listened to Gamaliel’s advice (keep away from these men and let
them alone—v.38), they brutalized the apostles anyway (40) before letting
them go free. The apostles weren’t upset over being mistreated, for they
knew they were on Jesus’ side of things (41) rather than on Satan’s side, and
they happily went about sharing Jesus with everyone who would listen (42).

God be praised for supporting (not sheltering) them in their hour of trial!

Pre-service Devotion: I John 3:1-2
1
Behold what manner of love the
Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God!
Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him.
2
Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what
we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for
we shall see Him as He is.
Hymn 210 “The Strife is O’er, the Battle Done”
From the red Lutheran Hymnal
Pastor: In the Name of the Father, and of the Son,
and of the Holy Spirit.
People: Amen.
Pastor: We have come into the presence of God, Who created us to
love and serve Him as His dear children. But we have disobeyed Him
and deserve only His wrath and punishment. Therefore, let us confess
our sins to Him and plead for His mercy.
People: Merciful Father in heaven, I am altogether sinful from birth.
In countless ways I have sinned against You and do not deserve to be
called Your child. But trusting in Jesus, my Savior, I pray: Have mercy
on me according to Your unfailing love. Cleanse me from my sin, and
take away my guilt.
Pastor: God, our heavenly Father, has forgiven all your sins. By the
perfect life and innocent death of our Lord Jesus Christ, He has
removed your guilt forever. You are His own dear child. May God give
you strength to live according to His will.
People: Amen.

The Old Testament Reading – Psalm 23
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. 2 He makes me to lie down in
green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. 3 He restores my
soul; He leads me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake.
4
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will
fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort
me. 5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over. 6 Surely goodness and
mercy shall follow me All the days of my life; And I will dwell in the
house of the LORD Forever.
The New Testament Reading – Acts 4:23-33
And being let go, they went to their own companions and reported
all that the chief priests and elders had said to them. 24 So when they
heard that, they raised their voice to God with one accord and said:
“Lord, You are God, who made heaven and earth and the sea, and all
that is in them, 25 who by the mouth of Your servant David have said:
‘Why did the nations rage, And the people plot vain things? 26 The kings
of the earth took their stand, And the rulers were gathered together
Against the LORD and against His Christ.’ 27 “For truly against Your holy
Servant Jesus, whom You anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate,
with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, were gathered together 28 to
do whatever Your hand and Your purpose determined before to be
done. 29 Now, Lord, look on their threats, and grant to Your servants
that with all boldness they may speak Your word, 30 by stretching out
Your hand to heal, and that signs and wonders may be done through
the name of Your holy Servant Jesus.” 31 And when they had prayed,
the place where they were assembled together was shaken; and they
were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the word of God
with boldness. 32 Now the multitude of those who believed were of
one heart and one soul; neither did anyone say that any of the things
he possessed was his own, but they had all things in common. 33 And
with great power the apostles gave witness to the resurrection of the
Lord Jesus. And great grace was upon them all.

Hymn 351: “Love, Divine All Love Excelling”
Sunday only
The Nicene Creed:
I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of
all things visible and invisible.
And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of His
Father before all worlds, God of God, Light of Light, very God of very God,
begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father, by Whom all
things were made; Who for us men and for our salvation came down from
heaven and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary and was made
man; and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate. He suffered and was
buried. And the third day He rose again according to the Scriptures and
ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of the Father. And He will
come again with glory to judge both the living and the dead, Whose kingdom
will have no end.
And I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and giver of life, Who proceeds from
the Father and the Son, Who with the Father and the Son together is
worshiped and glorified, Who spoke by the prophets. And I believe in one holy
Christian and apostolic Church, I acknowledge one Baptism for the remission
15
-4-
of sins, and I look for the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to
come. Amen.
Hymn 436 “The Lord’s My Shepherd, I’ll Not Want
From the red Lutheran Hymnal
The Sermon Text: John 10:11-18
“I am the good shepherd. The
good shepherd gives His life for
the sheep. 12 But a hireling, he
who is not the shepherd, one
who does not own the sheep,
sees the wolf coming and leaves
the sheep and flees; and the
wolf catches the sheep and
scatters them. 13 The hireling
flees because he is a hireling
and does not care about the
sheep. 14 I am the good
shepherd; and I know My
sheep, and am known by My
own. 15 As the Father knows Me,
even so I know the Father; and I
lay down My life for the sheep.
16
And other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must
bring, and they will hear My voice; and there will be one flock and one
shepherd. 17 “Therefore My Father loves Me, because I lay down My
life that I may take it again. 18 No one takes it from Me, but I lay it down
of Myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it
again. This command I have received from My Father.”
