Thanks for visiting. We’re excited about what we can offer both members of Pilot Knob Lutheran and the surrounding community. There are many churches in the North Iowa area, each with its unique ability of serving in the Body of Christ. We pray you find the congregation God has chosen for you to serve.
“Faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead.” – James 2:17
One of the most simple actions we can take as Christians in the personal strengthening of our faith is to do daily devotions. And today, with the advent of the internet, receiving your daily dose of law and gospel has never been easier. Discover God’s grace through a multitude of faith-enriching devotionals.

Today Pilot Knob Lutheran Church maintains a mission to worship God and proclaim His Word so that people experience salvation in Jesus, mature in their faith, and equip all to serve in the church and in the world.
As followers of Jesus Christ, we like to dwell on the positive promises in scripture such as: eternal life, victory, God’s presence and so on. What we don’t want to be reminded of is the fact that we are hated by the unbelieving world and are at war with darkness. Why else would we sing: Onward Christian Soldiers, The Battle Belongs to the Lord, Lead on, O King Eternal or Faith is the Victory and many more?
Sunday, we saw the irony of two blind men calling Jesus the “Son of David.” They could not see Him yet they believed He was the long-awaited Messiah who would be known as the “Son of David” according to Isaiah 9:7. The blind men could see this even before Jesus’ disciples and religious leaders.
When discussing the trinity with someone who doesn’t believe it or is confused, I learned from experience that it does not help to use ‘trinitarian texts’ such as the great commission in Matthew 28 where it mentions the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
We don’t naturally consider the crucifixion as a means of being glorified. It was a means of maximizing pain, suffering, humiliation and the one crucified was considered damned by God.
Kids become orphans by various means. Abandoned by their parent(s), death of parents or guardian, or simply being unwanted. A number of them may be separated from their siblings and even be moved from one foster family to another.
When we talk about Jesus being the only way to the Father, we are referencing heaven. There are many questions surrounding heaven: Where is it; who is there; will we recognize one another? These are but a few questions we ask and most importantly; how do we get there?
