March 26, 2020 Laetare (Lent 4) John 6:1-15  We do not know what is in store for our body, our life, or our congregation. We trust that He will preserve His Word and our faith until our end or He comes again. The fact that we here at all is testimony to the miracle of God’s grace and mercy. We give thanks for the multitude of blessings the Father has given our body and life. But we all the more store up the treasures of Jesus Christ, His Word and the holy Sacraments, confident that upon this bread from heaven, the church will remain forever.

15. March 2020 Oculi Luke 11:14-28 Where God’s finger is, there is His kingdom. The finger of God is the Word of Christ. This finger is mighty, active, powerful, and victorious. He is the stronger man, who has attacked and overthrown the strong man. The strong man snapped at His heel but the same heel crushed his head. The Stronger One has come and conquered him and taken from him all his weapons. You cannot be deceived. You are not lost. You are Christ’s today and forever.

08. March 2020 Reminiscere (Lent 2) Matthew 15:21-28 The Lord has promised to have mercy and you catch him in His Word. You hold onto these promises and never let go. He has adopted you In Baptism. He has and continues cast out the demonic afflictions that burden you. He promises to redeem you on the last day and welcome you into his new Israel. You can doggedly hold on to Him and His promises.

01. March 2020 Lent 1 - Invocavit Matthew 4:1-11 In your Baptism, you are joined to your Lord, the Conquerer. You are given to share in all He is and has, in all He has done and will do for your salvation. Even His invincible power against temptation is yours. You share in His victory and His power over His and your enemies, including the devil. And joined to Him in Baptism, He is fighting for you. As you are in Him, so you, Arabella, and all the baptized will conquer.

23. February 2020 Quinquagesima 1 Cor. 13:1-13; Luke 18:31-43 Love is to be delivered over to the Gentiles. Love patiently suffers the scorn and shame of enemies and friends alike. Love is kind to those who persecute you. Love is mocked and shamefully treated. Love is spit upon. Love is flogged and killed. Love is crucified. Love gives His life for His friends. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love obeys the Father even unto death. Love dies for the sins of the whole world. Jesus is love. Whenever you hear love in the Holy Scriptures, you hear Jesus.
