Our Savior Lutheran Church in Northwest Houston

Our Savior Lutheran Church is a confessional congregation of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod (LCMS). For over 60 years, we have taught that among God's people learning is drawn from the clear truth of God's eternal Word, the Bible . Our focus is on the cross where our savior Jesus Christ died so that we might live with him here and in eternity.

"For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."
John 3:16

Located in northwest Houston, close to the corner of Tidwell and Antoine near Highway 290, Our Savior Lutheran Church offers a variety of learning and giving opportunities for Houston families. Join us for our Sunday services, Bible Studies, ministries and fellowship and experience the power of the Word.

A Word from God's Word . . .

1/26 - "So (Naaman) went down and dipped himself seven times in the Jordan, according to the word of the man of God (Elisha), and his flesh was restored like the flesh of a little child, and he was clean." (2 Kings 5:14 - ESV) This is from the familiar story of Naaman - who had leprosy - and Elisha, the prophet of God. Yet today, God has the power to heal instantaneously, but most often heals through the medication that He has given to mankind. Either way, it is still God who heals.

1/27 - "Find rest, O my soul, in God alone; my hope comes from Him. He alone is my rock and my salvation; He is my fortress, I will not be shaken." (Psalm 62:5-6 - NIV) Following the thought in yesterday's Reading, there are times in our lives when illness or an accident puts us - or someone we love - in dire straits. At such times, remember the words of the Psalmist above. And always remember that God is still in control over everything in life.

1/28 - "I am not ashamed of the Gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes." (Romans 1:16a - ESV) The Gospel - the Good News of Jesus saving us from our sins - is the reason that we can always find comfort in God's dealings with us - no matter if the outward circumstances might seem to differ. God has shown His everlasting love for us in the Gospel. So we are never ashamed of the Gospel.

1/29 - "Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all." (Romans 12:17 - ESV) While God's ways are always motivated out of His love for us, He does expect His children to show love toward one another as well. This is what Paul is talking about in today's Reading. God can help us in this too.

1/30 - "And behold, a leper came to (Jesus) and knelt before Him, saying, 'Lord, if You will, You can make me clean.'" (Matt. 8:2 - ESV) We conclude this week with the same thought that we started this week - God's power to heal. When illness strikes us or a loved one, we never know at the time just how things will progress. But one thing we can always know is that God will be there with us (or the loved one) so that nothing will happen unless it is in God's will for us. We can always take comfort in that knowledge.
