2023 Texas District Theological Convocation
2023-05-08 - 2023-05-10 | TX
Come be inspired by the joy of “Theological Immigrants” who have discovered the comfort and joy of our Lutheran theology.
I’ll be discussing “The Unique Treasure of Our Lutheran Theology.”
“The Unique Treasure of the Gospel”
In the Texas District, we have been blessed with many “Theological Immigrants” into the LCMS. They are now our fellow pastors, deaconesses, and teachers of the church who have discovered the comfort and joy of our theology. Their joy is an inspiration to those who have been in this tradition for a long time and may struggle at times to fully appreciate the treasure we have been given.
Join us for three incredible days of learning and growth as we dig deep into the Scriptures and Confessions connected to real on-the-ground stories of that treasure that has been discovered by people like our very own:

Rev. Chad Bresson – The Table of Los Fresnos, Los Fresnos;
Rev. Nelson Hernández – Iglesia Cristiana Emanuel and Iglesia Misión, Houston;
Rev. Lincon Guerra – Texas District Mission & Ministry Facilitator, Area A;
Vicar Jamie Gonzalez – Comunidad Cristiana Expansión, Rockwall;
Vicar Sammy Roberts – Grace Divine Lutheran Church, Hurst;
Rev. Trey Sansom – Project 242 Church, Conroe;
Mr. Eric Willis – City Lights Church Planting and Mission Network, Dallas – Ft. Worth; and
Rev. Bryan Wolfmueller – St. Paul Lutheran Church & Jesus Church of the Deaf, Austin

Rediscover the incredible treasure that we have to share with the world around us.

Keep It Clean: Holy Christians Living in a Filthy World
2023-02-11 | Bethany Lutheran Church, Naperville Illinois, 1550 Modaff Rd, Naperville, IL, 60565, United States
Bethany Lutheran Church in Naperville Illinois hosts regular theological conferences for their congregation and neighbors. They asked if I’d come and present this year, and I hope you’ll be able to join us.
Click here for more information and to register.
The four topics are (this is a draft):

1/ A Calibrated and Clean Conscience (The four things that inform the conscience, including the conscience, how a conscience is clean even when our feet are dirty, how For Us, and How the Lord Uses us to help our families and friends)
2/ Being Boy and Girl (or how having children is a rebellious act of hope, or why the sixth commandment is the easiest to breach, or how the devil has always been a baby murderer, or the ancient roots of transgenderism)
3/ Persecution is Confession (or why you don’t need an evangelism program when your faith is on trial, or why the blood of the martyrs is the seed of the church, and the joy of Christian suffering, or why all the gladiators ended up being martyred with the Christians they were supposed to kill, some Martyr’s Faith stuff)
4/ God hides His promises (or why we walk by faith and not sight, or why the throne is hidden behind the cross, Heb 2:14, then 2:8, thinking of Luther’s commentary on Jacob and how the Lord governs his church.)

The task of apologetics focuses on understanding and articulating the evidence for the faith and the ways Christians might offer reasoned responses to skeptics and critics. This class looks at the history of and various methods employed by Christian apologists past and present and then focuses on addressing the various charges made against and challenges posed to Christian belief today.

Event Details

Rev. Bryan Wolfmueller, pastor of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Austin, Texas and Jesus Lutheran Church of the Deaf will be on hand at Messiah to present “Christians Need Heroes”.
Rev. Wolfmueller’s latest book, “A Martyr’s Faith in a Faithless World” was published recently and copies will be available for purchase and personal signing. His previous books are “Has American Christianity Failed?” and “Final Victory”
Christians need heroes who can stand as examples, especially when the Lord gives us their same vocations and callings. Mary and Joseph are heroes for parents. Stephen is a hero for preachers. David is a hero for rulers. And all the Christian heroes are our examples in faith and love, in prayer and joy, in patience, in suffering, and in death.
Christians need heroes who pray.
Christians need heroes who serve.
Christians need heroes who suffer with patience.
Christians need heroes who die.

Has American Christianity Failed?
American Christianity teaches the centrality of the individual—my will, my experiences, my decision, my heart, my work, and my dedication. Christ and His saving and comforting work are being lost. Our minds and hearts are captivated in some way by those who often preach the Christian instead of Christ. We’ll consider the major themes of American Christianity, and how Scripture offers an alternative of comfort and peace in Christ.

Schedule: The seminar begins with 8:15 a.m. check-in and 9:00 a.m. morning prayer. The seminar ends at 4:00 p.m. The full event schedule is here .
Cost: $15 Adults// $10 Students (full time students & seminarians) Includes registration, conference materials, lunch and refreshments.
