Lent 2023: Christians in an Unchristian World
The focus of Lenten services is epistle of 1 Peter. Peter’s words of encouragement and hope were directed to the first century Church that was persecuted for following Jesus. We also live in troubling times and the persecution of Christian faith and values is on the rise. How will we survive? Listen to Peter guide us by God’s grace on how we shall persevere.
The Divine Service for the First Sunday in Lent (February 26, 2023)
“Through One Man” – Romans 5:12-19
Lent is a time of “spring training” for the Christian. A time to remember that we face temptation every day. We dare not think too highly of ourselves, our goodness, even our faith, for we all too often give into temptation. Through one man, Adam, we all suffer from temptations and sin. Yet through one man, Jesus, we have the victory over any sin we fall into, failing to recognize temptation or just giving into it.

With the winter storm cancelling all services, Pastor Augustine recorded a brief service of the Word during a lull in the storm. May this service usher in the holy season of Lent to turn our hearts to the Lord.
The Divine Service for Palm Sunday (April 10, 2022)
“Hosanna! Save Us Now!” – John 12:12-19
Palm Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week where Jesus rides in to Jerusalem in joy only to leave it carrying His cross on Friday. This is all in fulfillment of God’s promise to send a savior. But what kind of savior is He? What deliverance to you desire from Him? Jesus knows our root problem is sin. Sin warps every aspect of our lives. Only through the clear testimony of the Scriptures can we see this. Only by faith can we rightly say and sing our “Hosanna’s” to the Lord. For He is the one who comes in the name of the Lord to save us now!

The Divine Service for the Fifth Sunday in Lent (April 3, 2022)
“The Cornerstone Will Get You” – Luke 20:9-20
A fragile piece of pottery will break if dropped on a rock. It can be really shattered if a big rock is dropped on it. Either way, the rock wins, the pottery loses. As sinners we must confront the fact that God is holy and we are not. We can fall on the rock that was rejected (Jesus), which is to repent and seek forgiveness. Or, we can also reject the rock and find ourselves crushed by it on the day of judgment. Better to fall on Jesus and let Him put you back together through His suffering, death, and resurrection!

The Divine Service for the Fourth Sunday in Lent – March 27, 2022
“A Song of Joy” – Isaiah 12:1-6
Joy? In Lent? Yes! This Sunday we still hear the Lenten call to repent, yet God’s Word assures us that God’s wrath for our sins has been turned away because of Jesus’ sacrifice. And that is what brings joy to our lives and fills our hearts to sing to the Lord.

The Divine Service for the Third Sunday in Lent (March 20, 2022)
“Bearing Lenten Fruit” – Luke 13:1-9
What do you think of God when bad things happen? Is it judgment? Is it God getting even with you? Those are natural questions flowing from our sinful nature. But they are the wrong questions. When bad things happen, it is a reminder of sin in my own life and throughout the world. So, the right question is: Am I repentant? Repentance is the fruit of faith that is cultivated in our hearts, especially during this season of Lent. Then, the forgiven heart seeks out the other fruits of faith that God desires. Fruit that we see in Jesus and His cross.

The Divine Service for the Second Sunday in Lent (March 13, 2022)
“The Lenten Mindset” – Philippians 3:17-4:1
St. Paul encourages the Church to imitate him. This sounds arrogant, but Paul’s point is to imitate him in clinging to Christ and His righteousness won on the cross. All our earthly efforts to show ourselves worthy to God is just vanity. But when we return to our baptismal identity where we are crucified and raised with Christ, the Lenten mindset is renewed as we strive to live a life of repentance and faith in Christ.

The Divine Service for the First Sunday in Lent (March 6, 2022)
“For Us Fights the Valiant One” – Romans 10 and Luke 4
The sermon title wording is from the great hymn, “A Mighty Fortress”. When the devil is after us, we know that Jesus has already been victorious over him as He withstands the temptations and ultimately the cross. That victory is given to people who hear this Word of God and by His grace, believe it. Then we by faith can call upon Jesus as Lord because God has raised Him from the dead. So, we confess (to speak from the heart) what God has already put into it: the truth that I am saved. What a joy to know that my sin cannot take that salvation from me! Oh, the devil will try, but Jesus’ victory can never be taken away.
