Come To The Dinner Banquet
“The Night Jesus Gave Us His ...
“The Night Jesus Gave Us His Supper”
Maundy Thursday is one of the most significant days in the life of Jesus — and Scripture makes that unmistakably clear. As Pastor ...Stelzer notes, *“The Gospel of John devotes nearly seven of its 21 chapters… one‑third of the whole book… to this one day in Jesus’ life.”* More is written about this night than Christmas, Good Friday, and Easter **combined**.
Why?
Because on this night, Jesus gave His church one of its greatest treasures: **the Sacrament of the Altar**.
In this Maundy Thursday message, Pastor Stelzer walks us through:
### **The Passover Roots of Holy Communion**
Jesus instituted the Lord’s Supper during the ancient Passover meal — the night Israel was saved by the blood of a spotless lamb. Pastor Stelzer reminds us that this pointed forward to the greater deliverance won by *“the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.”*
### **“This Is My Body… This Is My Blood”**
With clarity and pastoral warmth, he explains the mystery and gift of the sacrament:
- Christ’s true body and blood are given **in, with, and under** the bread and wine.
- We receive forgiveness, life, and salvation — not symbolically, but sacramentally.
- As he says, *“I can’t explain it scientifically… all I can do is believe it. When God says something, we can believe it.”*
### ** Why the Sacrament Matters**
Holy Communion is not a human invention. It is:
1. **Instituted by God**
2. **Given with visible, tangible elements**
3. **Joined to a divine promise of grace**
It is, as Pastor Stelzer beautifully puts it, *“kind of like God giving us a hug… something we can touch, something that touches us.”*
### ** Who Is Invited to the Table?**
Pastor Stelzer gently explains the biblical preparation for receiving the sacrament:
- Confessing our sin and our need for a Savior
- Being baptized into God’s family
- Believing Jesus truly died and rose again
- Trusting His words: *“This is my body… this is my blood… given and shed for you.”*
### ** A Night of Love, Sacrifice, and Grace**
Maundy Thursday is not merely a remembrance — it is a participation in the gifts Christ gives His people. It is the family meal of God’s household, the place where faith is strengthened and forgiveness is delivered.
**May this message deepen your appreciation for the Lord’s Supper and draw you closer to the Savior who gave Himself for you.**Show More

The Easter Response
“What Easter Really Means” When ...
“What Easter Really Means”
When Pastor Ron Stelzer opened the local paper during Holy Week, he expected reflections on Jesus, the cross, and the resurrection. Instead, he found *nothing* — ...not a single mention of Christ. As he put it, *“I read through them all and I didn't see anything about Jesus. I didn't see anything about the resurrection.”*
This sermon tells the story of what happened next — and why it matters.
Pastor Stelzer shares how he wrote to the editor, offered to contribute, and submitted a clear, biblical explanation of Easter. But the paper rejected it for relying “too heavily on Scripture.” That moment becomes a powerful illustration of how easily our culture celebrates Easter without Christ — and how urgently the church must keep proclaiming the truth.
From there, Pastor Stelzer leads us into the heart of Easter:
- **Jesus Christ truly died and truly rose**, just as Scripture records.
- His resurrection is the **culmination of His mission** to save the world.
- The apostles were so transformed by the risen Christ that they endured persecution, imprisonment, and even martyrdom to preach the Gospel.
- **Christ’s resurrection guarantees our resurrection**, offering eternal life to all who believe.
- Easter is not about bunnies, eggs, or seasonal traditions — it is about the **historical, bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ**, the only Savior.
Pastor Stelzer also shares how Our Savior Lutheran Church and Classical Christian School celebrate Holy Week:
Holy Thursday communion, Good Friday Tenebrae, a youth‑led SONrise service, festival worship with brass and choir, and a sanctuary filled with lilies and memorials that point to the risen Lord.
**This sermon is both a testimony and a challenge:**
Will we let the world redefine Easter, or will we boldly confess, *“He is risen… Hallelujah”*?Show More

“The Final Words of Jesus” | Good Friday Sermon by Pastor Stelzer
On Good Friday, we stand at the foot of the cross and listen closely to the final words spoken ...by our Savior. In this powerful sermon, Pastor Stelzer walks us through each of Jesus’ last sayings and shows how they teach us not only **how to live**, but also **how to die in faith**.
Through Scripture, this message invites us to:
- **Forgive freely**, just as Jesus prayed, “Father, forgive them.”
- **Call on Christ for mercy**, like the repentant thief who said, “Jesus, remember me.”
- **Stand unashamed with Jesus**, as Mary and John did when others fled.
- **Trust God in suffering**, knowing Jesus Himself cried, “My God, my God, why have You forsaken Me?”
- **Acknowledge our human need**, as Jesus said, “I thirst.”
- **Live with purpose**, so that at life’s end we may echo His triumphant words, “It is finished.”
- **Entrust our souls to the Father**, just as Jesus declared, “Into Your hands I commit My spirit.”
Pastor Stelzer reminds us that Jesus’ suffering was not accidental — it was the necessary price for our salvation. And because He finished His mission, we can face our final hour with confidence, mercy, and hope.
**Good Friday is not merely a remembrance of death — it is the proclamation of the love that saves us.**
**Scripture Theme:**
The Seven Last Words of Christ and the Christian’s hope in life and death.

Behind the Scenes at Palm Sunday

## ***Behind the Scenes at Palm Sunday***
Palm Sunday is often remembered as a joyful parade—crowds cheering, palm branches waving, and Jesus riding into Jerusalem like a king. But ...as Pastor Stelzer explains in this message, there was far more happening beneath the surface. Behind the celebration were competing expectations, political tension, spiritual blindness, and a Savior whose mission was far different from what anyone imagined.
While the crowds hoped Jesus would become a political hero and “make Israel great again,” others—the religious elites—saw Him as a threat to their power. And in the middle of it all, Jesus entered the city not with triumphal pride, but with a heavy heart. He knew the cross was coming. He knew the nation would reject Him. And He knew the salvation He came to bring was far greater than earthly prosperity or political victory.
### **In This Message You’ll Learn:**
- Why Palm Sunday felt like a “ticker‑tape parade” to the crowds
- What the people expected Jesus to be—and why they were wrong
- How the religious leaders reacted to Jesus’ rising influence
- Why Jesus wept over Jerusalem even as people cheered
- How Old Testament prophecy pointed to this moment
- What Jesus’ true mission was as He entered the city
- Why Palm Sunday sets the stage for the cross and the resurrection
### **Big Truth:**
**Palm Sunday isn’t just a celebration—it’s a revelation of who Jesus truly is and why He came.**
### **A Deeper Look:**
Jesus didn’t come to overthrow Rome. He came to overthrow sin, death, and the power of the devil. His kingdom is not political but eternal, and His victory comes through the cross. Palm Sunday invites us to see beyond the parade and understand the heart of our Savior.Show More

**From Creation to the Flood***
In this week’s message, Pastor Stelzer walks us through the powerful connection between **true science** and **God’s Word**, exposing how Satan twists good things—like ...scientific advancement—to lead people away from the truth of Scripture.
While modern culture often labels unproven ideas as “science,” God calls us back to the **reliable, inspired, and historically anchored Word of God**. From creation to the fall to the worldwide flood, Scripture provides a trustworthy record that stands firm against the shifting claims of the world.
Pastor Stelzer highlights how Satan uses terms like *evolution* and *millions of years* to undermine faith, especially among children, and how these ideas are often promoted even in Christian schools and churches. But God has not left us without evidence. The fossil record, global geological formations, extinct species, and dramatic climate changes all point to the reality of a **worldwide flood**, just as described in Genesis.
### **Key Themes in This Message:**
- How Satan misuses the word *science* to promote falsehood
- Why Christians must test every claim against Scripture
- The danger of accepting evolution and deep‑time thinking
- Fossils, rock layers, and global geological evidence that support the biblical flood
- The importance of teaching children the truth of God’s Word
- Why creation, the fall, and the flood matter for our faith today
### **Scripture Highlight:**
**2 Timothy 3:16** — *“All Scripture is given by inspiration of God…”*
A reminder that every part of God’s Word—from Genesis to Revelation—is trustworthy, profitable, and essential.
### **Big Truth:**
**God’s Word is true, God’s works confirm His truth, and His people are called to stand firm in it.**

Why Genesis 5 Matters: The ...
In this week’s message, Pastor ...
In this week’s message, Pastor Stelzer walks us through the remarkable genealogies of **Genesis 5**—a chapter often ignored, misunderstood, or dismissed, yet essential for understanding God’s true timeline of early ...human history.
Using the detailed ages and lifespans recorded in Scripture, Pastor Stelzer shows that these numbers are not symbolic, rounded, or mythological. They are **precise historical records** God intentionally preserved so His people would not be misled by modern assumptions about evolution, millions of years, or prehistoric humanity.
### **Key themes from this message:**
- Genesis 5 provides **exact ages and lifespans**, not estimates or legends
- Genealogies are always historical—fairy tales don’t have them
- The Bible is the **only written record** of pre‑flood history
- Early humans were created **perfect, intelligent, and fully formed**, not primitive
- The flood dramatically changed Earth’s environment, climate, and human longevity
- After the flood, lifespans drop sharply—exactly as Scripture records
- Psalm 90 reminds us to “number our days” and seek a heart of wisdom
Pastor Stelzer also addresses why modern science classes ignore the flood, why evolutionary timelines contradict Scripture, and how sin, disease, and genetic decay have affected humanity since the fall.
### **Scripture Highlights**
- **Genesis 5** — The genealogy from Adam to Noah
- **Genesis 1–11** — Literal days, literal years, literal history
- **Psalm 90** — “Teach us to number our days…”
This message invites believers to trust God’s Word as the true historical record and to see the genealogies not as filler, but as God’s way of anchoring our faith in real people, real events, and real history.

Things You can Change and ...
***“Things You Can Change and ...
***“Things You Can Change and Things You Can’t Change” | Children’s Message by Pastor Stelzer***
In today’s children’s talk, Pastor Stelzer helps kids think about an important truth: some things about ...us can change… and some things can’t. Our birthday, our height, and the way God made us are gifts we simply receive. But our attitude, our choices, and our behavior—those *can* change, and God shows us how.
With humor, simple examples, and a clear message from Scripture, Pastor Stelzer teaches that real change begins when we listen to God’s Word, trust Jesus as our Savior, and let the Holy Spirit shape our hearts. As our mind and attitude are renewed, our behavior follows.
Pastor Stelzer also shares Romans 12:2:
**“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.”**
This message encourages children to:
- Accept the things God has given them
- Focus on the changes God *does* call them to make
- Trust Jesus to help them grow in faith and obedience
Join us as we learn to celebrate how God made us—and to let Him transform the parts of us that truly matter.
