Thirsty 59 (Neumann/Laitinen/Zarling

This week Pastor Laitinen and Pastor Zarling interviewed Pastor Neumann who serves at the multi-site congregation of New Life Lutheran Church in Kenosha, WI. We discuss Pastor Neumann’s ministry in Buffalo, NY and the many years and much effort it took to merge four churches to become New Life. 

We discussed John 9:1-39 and how Jesus used mud to heal the man born blind. Sadly, even Christians have bought into the false theology of karma, that what goes around comes around. Yet, the Bible is much more nuanced and multi-faceted in its descriptions of why we suffer in a sinful world. We also studied Ephesians 5:8-14 and discussed why we should be patient with those who are still trapped in the darkness of sin and unbelief.

Let the one who is thirsty come. Let the one who wants the water of life take it as a gift. Stay thirsty, my friends. Quench that thirst in the Water of Life.
