The Divine Service for the Seventh Sunday of Easter (May 29, 2022)

“One in Christ” – John17:20-26

This final Sunday of the Easter season bridges the gap between Ascension and Pentecost. Jesus prays His High Priestly prayer just before going to Gethsemane for his betrayal and arrest, leading to His cross and tomb. With us in His mind, He prays that we would be one just as He and the Father are one. This oneness is a gift of God that overcomes the separation of sin that still plagues our lives. What a gift to be one with God and one with each other while we wait for His return!

Due to illness to Pastor Augustine, Pastor John Fuchs will serve in his place.

May 23 UPDATE: Pastor Fuchs had a medical episode part-way into the 8:00 service. He was quickly attended to but was unable to complete the service.

The Divine Service for the Fifth Sunday of Easter (May 15, 2022)

“Sorrows and Joys in Jesus” – John 16:12-22

Jesus prepares His disciples for the sorrow of the cross and His innocent suffering and death. But sorrow will give way to joy on Easter morning. Christ is risen! But then Jesus says that He is going away for a little while. Sorrow. But He promises the Holy Spirit to bring the gifts of the cross and empty tomb to them and the whole Christian Church on earth while we wait for Jesus to return. Oh, the joy we have in Jesus!

The Divine Service for the Third Sunday of Easter (May 1, 2022)

“Worthy Is the Lamb!” – Revelation 5:8-14

Who is worthy of our worship and praise? The Lamb of God is! Though He was slain for the sins of the world, He now lives triumphant and receives heavenly worship. Yet He still comes among us even though we are unworthy sinners. His sacrifice allows us to be declared worthy of God’s love and mercy. Therefore, we can join the saints and angels in their heavenly worship as join in singing “Worthy is the Lamb!”

The Divine Service for the Second Sunday of Easter (April 24, 2022)

“The Keys to Heaven and Hell” – John 20:19-31

Jesus gives the disciples the Keys to the Kingdom. The authority to forgive or retain sins. The Church still has this blessed gift and authority and responsibility. It can be an intimidating thing to say to someone, “I forgive you”, but by God’s grace, we can and do. Thankfully, Jesus has kept another set of keys for Himself – the keys to Death and Hades (Hell). Since He has conquered the devil with His cross and resurrection, we can go as Jesus sends us to announce the grace of God in Christ and the forgiveness of all sins. Jesus has freed us all!
