8:15 am – 8:45 am    Matins
9:00 am – 9:45 am    They Did Not Love their Lives unto Death, Rev. Wolfmueller

• What does the fear of death have to do with Spiritual warfare? How should the Christian think about suffering and death? We’ll look at the Bible passages that strengthened the martyrs as they faced the tyrants and the grave. (Hebrews 2, Revelation 12)

9:45 am – 10:00 am  Q &A
10:00 am – 10:15 am  Break
10:15 am – 11:00 am  The Greatest Martyr Ever to Live, Rev. Wolfmueller

• We’ll consider the man who Luther considered the “greatest martyr ever to life”: Noah! He suffered 120 years of ridicule and mockery for preaching the righteousness of God. How do we live as holy people in a filthy world? (2 Peter 2)

11:00 am – 11:15 am  Q &A
11:15 am – 11:30 am  Break
11:30 am – 12:30 pm  Hope, Rev. Wolfmueller

• We walk through this dark world with joy and hope. How? How can we maintain a joyful spirit, a light heart in the midst of so much heaviness? We’ll look at Luther’s favorite martyrs: Agnes and Agatha, and let these two Christian martyrs teach us how to skip to the grave.

12:30 pm – 1:15 pm     Lunch
1:15 pm – 2:15 pm     Fighting the Good Fight: Holding Faith and a Good Conscience, Rev. Fleming

• Our success in the daily battle against Satan, the world, and our sinful flesh, is full reliance on what Christ has done for us and how He looks at us. (2 Timothy 1 and Ephesians 6).
