Gospel Obstacles

2025 LCMC Advent Devotions

Scripture Text: Isaiah 56:6–8

Series: Advent Devotions 2025

In today's video, we discuss how we may have created obstacles for people not like us to hear the gospel. 

The pastors of St. Paul's Lutheran Church share Pastor Julie Smith's Advent devotions for Lutheran Congregations in Mission for Christ (LCMC). Julie, the LCMC Service Coordinator, has written these devotions for Mondays through Saturdays, December 1–24. Download the devotional PDF here.

    There have been occasions when I’ve welcomed visitors and they don’t come back. Makes me wonder if maybe I was “too welcoming” and they felt like something must be wrong - we’re desperate for new members. I suppose all we can do is be welcoming, then the “ball is in their court” as to whether they want to return or not.

    Their court—and the Holy Spirit's.
