The Prayer of Good Courage describes the call that God has made to all believers. 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.

Often, the 5th commandment seems to be pretty straight forward. Murder means killing a fellow human being. However, Martin Luther extends this prohibition to not harming our neighbor either bodily or mentally. This sermon looks at how we as Lutheran Christians reflect on the 5th commandment in relationship to setting limits in which a community can thrive, beyond just the act of physical killing. Luther points us to the promises of God in Jesus, and how it calls us to serve our neighbor. This commandment can actually be broadened from not only harming, but as importantly, the requirement to care for them as well. The sermon also spends time looking at the root challenge that both Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount and Martin Luther in the Large Catechism point to.
This message comes from Pastor Jason, and the Gospel is from the Book of Mark, Chapter 5, verses 21-24, and 38-48.
