A note from Pastor Jacqué’s desk
Matthew 7:7-8 (NLT)
"Ask, and what you are asking for will be given to you. Look, and what you are looking for
you will find. Knock, and the door you are knocking on will be opened to you. Everyone who
asks receives what he asks for. Everyone who looks finds what he is looking for. Everyone
who knocks has the door opened to him.”
Have you ever wandered what Jesus really meant when He made this statement to His
people? I have, and here is one explanation regarding spiritual looking, knocking and actually
finding.
But first, there is another Scripture that played a key part in my looking for and finding
the door to knock on that opens up to the answer!
James 1:5 (CEV)
“If you do not have wisdom, ask God for it. He is always ready to give it to you and will never
say you are wrong for asking.”
In both of these Scriptures Jesus and James, His brother, are talking about prayer: The
kind of prayer where we are asking God for something.
The very first thing to ask God for in prayer is His wisdom or His will in the matter.
There is nothing wrong with praying for the will of God to be done in any or every situation.
Jesus told us to pray, “Thy will be done”!
Ask for God’s wisdom, this begins the Search (Seek, Look) for God. When you find
Him, and you will, Knock on His Door. Find Him and His will and you have found your
answer!
Let us realize we need God to answer our prayers. He, Himself is the answer for our
lives! Ask, Seek, Knock and Find! It is in the finding of Him that cleanses, humbles and then
lifts us to the heights of His graciousness that truly answers every prayer! Let’s knock on God’s
Door, Jesus, by remembering what He did and how much it cost God to bring us to the throne of
grace where we find all our answers. It cost the blood of His only begotten Son to open the
Door.
The answers are all, every one of them, behind God’s Door just waiting for us to seek,
knock and find them!

Redeemer Lutheran School News
“Diakonia: Send Me” | “For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to
serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” Mark 10:45
“Diakonia: Send me” is the
theme for the 2015-2016 school
year at Redeemer Lutheran
School. Our greatest teacher is
of course Jesus Christ, who lived
His life devoted to others, even
enduring death on the cross
to demonstrate His devotion
to us. RLS looks to Christ as
our example of how to serve
others. Here are just some of the
opportunities our students have
to follow Christ’s example to
serve others.
through monthly chapel offerings
which go to support a different
charity each month, and through
various senior projects such as a
blood drive, food drive, and sock
drive. High school students travel
to Concordia senior care homes for
a Christmas party complete with
gifts.
Redeemer students also reach
beyond our local community.
Younger students enjoyed a virtual
mission trip to Latvia while a high
school team traveled to Michigan
to work at a camp.
High school students marched
in the Right to Life March in
Washington DC. Packing and
sorting clothes for World Vision
plus a family dance to raise funds
for South East Asian Prayer Center
were other projects. At Christmas
the school families collect items
for military men and women
through Military Connections.
This year we ask for your prayers
for a safe and successful school
year. We thank God daily for the
community’s support so that we
can provide a learning setting
that goes well beyond academic
skills to grow strong men and
women ready to be “Sent.”
Diakonia-Send me.
Serving starts with our local
needs first. Our students learn
to serve by preparing lunch for
veterans on Veterans Day,
