"I was glad when they said unto me, let us go into the house of the Lord" Psalm 122:1
“Eyes on the prize.” That axiom stresses that when pursuing some good goal, focus is important. You don’t want distractions or a lack of self-discipline to keep you from obtaining whatever that prize might be. “Eyes on the prize.” You summon the willpower to fixate on that good thing. You let nothing divert your attention from obtaining the prize.
The prize that we want most is spending eternity with Jesus. As the Church Year comes to a close, Jesus promises that he will come again “in clouds with great power and glory” to give us that prize. That prize will be so unbelievably good, it is worth fixating on. It merits our striving to set aside all that would distract us from Christ. Let us be ready. Let us keep watch. Let us live with our eyes on the skies.

Casual Atmosphere Serious Faith
Are you looking for a place where there's serious Bible teaching, but in an atmosphere that's casual?
Beautiful Savior is a growing church community in West Des Moines IA that seeks to glorify God by "Growing in the faith, Gathering together as believers, Going to our neighbors with the gospel!"
Our first worship service was held on May 1, 1994.
We celebrated 30 years on Sunday, October 13th
We thank those who were able to join us or send notes and remembrances.
We are looking forward to a new adult Sunday morning class on the short book of II Peter, beginning on September 8. As we studied I Peter last year, we heard Peter encourage us to be faithful as we suffer for our faith in this world. In that book, however, most of the suffering and persecution was coming from outside the church.
In II Peter, we learn of evil influences that are in the church, which leads Peter to encourage us to daily put our faith into practice, taking our stand against false teaching, with the Last Day growing ever closer.
Please join us as we discuss this important New Testament letter!
Wednesdays in Bible Class
The Book of Mark
On Wednesday, September 11, at 6:30pm, we will begin an in-depth study of the gospel of Mark. The shortest of the four gospels, Mark is full of action, as the inspired author takes us from one account of Jesus' life to the next.
If you've never joined one of our Bible classes before, this would be a great one for you because the best place to begin Bible study is with the gospel. Invite a friend along, too. This class is for everyone, and we pray that you'll join us.
Beautiful Savior Evangelical Lutheran Church is a confessional Lutheran church in West Des Moines, Iowa.
