“Let’s Hit the Jim” Sermon Series
Life can be pretty messy and complicated. People have problems big and small and are
not quite sure how to solve them, or even know where to go for answers. There is
certainly no shortage of people handing out advice. Where do you go for the wisdom to
solve life’s problems - your mom, Oprah, Siri? How ‘bout another name, Jim.
Jim (or James) had a famous brother named Jesus, and wrote a little book self-titled, where he offered
up wisdom on everyday problems: how to deal with anger, managing your mouth, cleaning up
relational messes. Much better advice than Google.
So, instead of the typical New Year resolutions that fail because they are based on our willpower, let’s
continue 2019 by hitting the Jim together, (a journey through the Book of James), and let’s allow the
Holy Spirit to transform our faith muscle from the inside out.

Holy Communion is a sacred act established by Christ Himself. The Bible explains the
nature and purpose of the Sacrament, and who should receive it. “Let a man examine
himself, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup. For anyone who eats and drinks
without discerning the body of the Lord eats and drinks judgment upon himself.” (1
Corinthians 11:28-29) Therefore, in accordance with Holy Scripture, and out of loving concern for all, we at Our Savior
Lutheran Church believe in the biblical practice of Close Communion. This means, those are welcome to the Lord’s Table
who are “close” to us, that is, believe the basic teachings of the Christian faith listed below:
1. Have been Instructed in God’s Word, especially in regard to the Apostles’ Creed, Ten Commandments and Holy
Sacraments;
2. Confess and repent of all their sins;
3. Believe that through the suffering, death, and resurrection of Jesus, God forgives their sins and gives new newness of
life.
4. Believe that in and with the bread and wine, they receive in a miraculous way, not merely a symbol, but the true Body
and Blood of Christ, for the forgiveness of their sins and the strengthening of their faith.
5. Recognize that participation at His table indicates a public agreement with the Biblical teaching of the Sacrament as we
teach and confess, and a oneness in the Lutheran faith with fellow communicants.
If you are unaware of the teachings of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod, or have any doubts or questions, we
respectfully ask you to refrain from receiving Holy Communion today until you have opportunity to visit with one of the
pastors.7

Little Black Sheep: A Memoir…Growing up in a troubled home, Ashley Cleveland believed she
was a "good-for-nothing" black sheep, and she learned to play the part. Yet in her destructive
days of drugs, alcohol, and sex, she encountered a forgiving God. Change did not come
quickly. But Ashley allowed God to heal her, to bring courage to others through her journey.
It’s a God Thing: When Miracles Happen to Everyday People… Miracles do not just happen in
the Bible. They happen to everyday people. In this collection of modern-day miracles, you’ll
read about a man pulled from a truck as it dropped 400 feet and a six-year-old who made a full
recovery after being trapped under water for more than 7 minutes. Read these amazing
stories of God's hand on our lives.
Atlas Girl: Finding Home in the Last Place I Thought to Look… Wounded by organized religion,
anorexia, and her parents' rigidity, Emily Wierenga left home to search for God. She traveled
across Central America, the Middle East, and Australia---and then found faith in the place she
least expected it. Join her as she journeys into the arms of a loving God who heals us!
Wild in the Hollow: On Chasing Desire and Finding the Broken Way Home…Tumbling down a
destructive path, Amber Haines met God in her most broken moment. If you struggle with
doubt, if you have ever felt marginalized or like you are missing something, you will find in
Amber a voice inviting you to a place of acceptance and fulfillment, and into the heart of God.
Under a Desert Sky… Against the backdrop of the Donoran Desert, Lynne Hartke asks her own
hard questions as cancer arrives like a thief with one goal: to take it all.. As her days become a
blur of doctors' appointments, treatments, and surgeries, she wrestles with tangled emotions,
a shaken faith, and crushing self-doubt. In this book discover that even in life's hardest places,
you are not alone in your fear, you are not foolish to hope, and you are never forgotten by
God.
Death on Hold: A Prisoner’s Desperate Prayer and the Unlikely Family Who Became God’s
Answer… In January 1983 Burt Folsom read a magazine story about Mitch Rutledge, a man on
death row who said he was sorry for what he did. The last line of the story read "forget him."
But Burt was moved to write Mitch a letter, beginning a years-long friendship with Mitch and
watching him become a leader and role model for others in prison.9
