Sermon | Rev. David A. Davis | West Pastors Conference 2026

President of the Michigan District, LCMS, Rev. David A. Davis, preaches during the Divine Service at the start of the West Pastors Conference 2026. Conference Theme: Honest Repentance Living life to its fullest (John 10:10) is advice that most people can get behind. What does that mean for a Christian, though? It is more than the length of our days or the number of events we can stuff into them. A full life is one that is lived according to the Word of the God who created it. Christians, like the rest of the world, fall short when it comes to actually living that life, but we have something the world does not have: Hope. God has given us forgiveness, leading us to rejoice in the promise of eternal life, and the opportunity to live fully in this life. Join us as Rev. Dr. David Maxwell takes us through his sermon series on Honest Repentance, so that we can learn to encourage our congregations to live a life that brings joy worth sharing. -- Connect with us on: Facebook:   / milcms   Twitter:   / milcms   Instagram:   / milcms
