This podcast explores how the Prayer of Good Courage is made real in the lives of the staff, members and friends of Westwood Lutheran Church in St. Louis Park, MN. Prayer of Good Courage: O God, you have called your servants to ventures of which we cannot see the ending, by paths as yet untrodden, through perils unknown. Give us faith to go out with good courage, not knowing where we go, but only that your hand is leading us, and your love supporting us, through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.

Who is to be remembered? Is it those whose might makes them larger than life, or are other traits worthy of memory. We learn about the Roman tradition of the victor entering the conquered city and compare it to how Jesus entered Jerusalem on Palm Sunday.
Today's message comes to us from Pastor Jason, and he suggests that not only does what you remember matter, but that also memories define who we are as a culture. The scripture is Luke Chapter 19, verses 29-40.

“Today we notice the direction of Jesus in Luke 13… instead of fleeing Jerusalem he goes in that direction for the gift of God’s redemption in the cross and empty tomb. In this sermon, we wonder if that sense of direction… moving towards each other is a characteristic of a culture of grace.
