In a world filled with uncertainty and darkness, the apostle John reminds us of a truth that is unshakable: Jesus Christ, the Word of Life, has been revealed to us. In 1 John 1:1 – 2:2, we are invited to walk in fellowship with God by walking in the light — a life of honesty, repentance, and grace. This passage calls us to examine how we live, to confess our sins, and to trust in the faithful forgiveness of Christ, who is our Advocate before the Father. Join us as we explore how true fellowship with God and with each other can only be found through the cleansing power of Jesus' sacrifice.Come ready to be encouraged, challenged, and renewed by the assurance that even when we stumble, we have a Savior who speaks for us and calls us back into the light.Prayer of the DayO God of life, you reach out to us amid our fears with the wounded hands of your risen Son. By your Spirit's breath revive our faith in your mercy and strengthen us to live as your people in this world, through your Son, Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.

Easter SundayIn this powerful Easter message, Pastor Eric walks us through Luke 24:1–12, where the women arrive at Jesus' tomb at dawn, only to find the stone rolled away and the body gone. As confusion sets in, two angels appear and remind them of Jesus' promise: “He is not here; He has risen.” Pastor Eric reflects on the courage of the women, the initial doubt of the disciples, and the wonder of Peter as he races to the tomb. This passage challenges us to confront our own doubts and embrace the life-changing truth of the resurrection. Through Pastor Eric's message, we're reminded that faith often begins where certainty ends—and that the empty tomb is not the end of the story, but the beginning of eternal hope.Prayer of the Day God of mercy, we no longer look for Jesus among the dead, for he is alive and has become the Lord of life. Increase in our minds and hearts the risen life we share with Christ, and help us to grow as your people toward the fullness of eternal life with you, through Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.Facebook: / calvaryperham YouTube: / @calvaryperham Podcast on Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/7hbXujm...

Maundy Thursday Homily by Pastor Erin Bovendam Calvary Lutheran Church Perham MN USPastor Erin reflected on how Jesus' act of washing the disciples' feet is a vivid, living example of what it means to bear the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22–23) in real life.Though John's Gospel doesn't list the fruit of the Spirit explicitly, Pastor Erin showed how Jesus models each of those qualities through His humble, loving service:Love – Jesus loves His disciples “to the end,” even knowing their flaws and betrayals.Gentleness – He kneels to wash their feet, gently caring for them like a servant.Patience & Kindness – He doesn't scold or shame; He serves, even those like Judas and Peter.Faithfulness – Jesus stays true to His mission and His love, even in His final hours.Self-Control – Though He is Teacher and Lord, He restrains power to uplift others.Pastor Erin encouraged the congregation to see that living out the fruit of the Spirit means taking on the posture of a servant, just like Jesus. It's not about status, pride, or comfort—it's about love expressed through action, especially when it's inconvenient or undeserved.She invited everyone to ask: “Whose feet is Jesus calling me to wash?” In other words, where can I show love, humility, and Spirit-led kindness in my everyday life?

Sermon Summary: Luke 19:28–42 – "The King We Didn't Expect"In this passage, Jesus approaches Jerusalem, riding on a donkey—a clear fulfillment of the prophecy from Zechariah 9:9 about a humble king coming in peace. The crowds welcome Him joyfully, laying down cloaks and praising God, expecting a political Messiah who would liberate them from Roman rule.But Jesus isn't the kind of king they imagined. He comes not with military power, but with humility and a mission of peace and salvation. As He draws near the city, Jesus weeps over Jerusalem. He foresees the destruction to come because the people didn't recognize “the time of [their] visitation”—the moment when God came near.

The Mission of the MessiahScripture: Luke 4:18–21Description:In Luke 4:18–21, Jesus steps into the synagogue, opens the scroll of Isaiah, and boldly proclaims His mission—to bring good news to the poor, freedom for the oppressed, sight for the blind, and release for the captives. This moment marks the beginning of His public ministry and reveals the heart of the gospel: restoration, justice, and hope.Join us as we explore what it means when Jesus says, “Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.” We'll look at how His mission still speaks powerfully into our lives today, calling us to be agents of healing, grace, and freedom in a broken world. This isn't just a statement from the past—it's a call to action for the present.

In this powerful sermon on Luke 15:11-32, Pastor Eric Clapp of Calvary Lutheran Church unpacks the timeless parable of the Prodigal Son. This story is more than just a tale of rebellion and redemption—it's a picture of God's unfailing love and grace. Whether you've wandered far from Him or struggle with self-righteousness, this message speaks to the heart of every believer.Join us as Pastor Eric explores the riches of the Father's mercy, the joy of restoration, and the call to extend grace to others. No matter how far you've gone, God is always ready to welcome you home.Facebook: / calvaryperham YouTube: / @calvaryperham Podcast on Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/7hbXujmmTtLlWAxzIzpUZo?si=55a2f1977c1c4d22Podcast public sitehttps://rss.com/podcasts/april16th2023/Lakes 99.5 Radio Sundays at Ten Thirty AMTUESDAY WORSHIP*9:00AM Arvig TV Channel 14Egiving https://secure.myvanco.com/YMVS/homeWebsite:https://calvaryperham.com/

Welcome to Calvary Lutheran Church Perham Minnesota, a space where we slow down, open God's Word, and reflect on His truth for our lives.Today, we're diving into Luke 15:1-10, where Jesus tells two simple yet profound stories—one about a lost sheep, the other about a lost coin. These parables remind us of a truth that's easy to forget: God sees us, pursues us, and rejoices over us.Maybe you've felt distant from God. Maybe you've wondered if He notices you at all. These stories show us that He not only notices—He searches. He seeks after the lost, and when He finds them, all of heaven rejoices.We're honored to have Pastor Erin Bovendam bringing today's message, helping us reflect on the relentless love of the One who never stops looking for us.So take a deep breath, quiet your heart, and let's listen together.Gospel On Youtube Gospel: Luke 15.1-10Sermon on Youtube Sermon: Pastor Erin BovendamFacebook:/ calvaryperhamYouTube:/ @calvaryperhamPodcast on Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/7hbXujmmTtLlWAxzIzpUZo?si=55a2f1977c1c4d22Podcast public sitehttps://rss.com/podcasts/april16th2023/Lakes 99.5 Radio Sundays at Ten Thirty AMTUESDAY WORSHIP*9AM Arvig TV Channel 14Egiving https://secure.myvanco.com/YMVS/homeWebsite: https://calvaryperham.com/

Welcome to Calvary Lutheran Church ELCA. Perham, Minnesota.Thank God. Share Jesus. Help Others.Prayer of the DayLoving God, we don't always understand why things happen the way they do. Yet, like Joseph, we also believe that you are at work in our lives. Give us faith to trust you no matter what challenges we face.

All his brothers who had come with him to bury his father returned with him. After the funeral, Joseph's brothers talked among themselves: “What if Joseph is carrying a grudge and decides to pay us back for all the wrong we did him?”16-17 So they sent Joseph a message, “Before his death, your father gave this command: Tell Joseph, ‘Forgive your brothers' sin—all that wrongdoing. They did treat you very badly.' Will you do it? Will you forgive the sins of the servants of your father's God?”When Joseph received their message, he wept.18 Then the brothers went in person to him, threw themselves on the ground before him and said, “We'll be your slaves.”19-21 Joseph replied, “Don't be afraid. Do I act for God? Don't you see, you planned evil against me but God used those same plans for my good, as you see all around you right now—life for many people. Easy now, you have nothing to fear; I'll take care of you and your children.” He reassured them, speaking with them heart-to-heart.Message Pastor Eric Clapp / calvaryperham YouTube: / @calvaryperham Lakes 99.5 Radio Sundays at 10:30TUESDAY WORSHIP9:00AM Arvig TV Channel 14egiving www.calvaryperham.com

Ruth 3:1-18 1 Naomi her mother-in-law said to her, “My daughter, I need to seek some security for you, so that it may be well with you. 2 Now here is our kinsman Boaz, with whose young women you have been working. See, he is winnowing barley tonight at the threshing-floor. 3 Now wash and anoint yourself, and put on your best clothes and go down to the threshing-floor; but do not make yourself known to the man until he has finished eating and drinking. 4 When he lies down, observe the place where he lies; then, go and uncover his feet and lie down; and he will tell you what to do.” 5 She said to her, “All that you tell me I will do.” 6 So she went down to the threshing-floor and did just as her mother-in-law had instructed her. 7 When Boaz had eaten and drunk, and he was in a contented mood, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of grain. Then she came quietly and uncovered his feet, and lay down. 8 At midnight the man was startled and turned over, and there, lying at his feet, was a woman! 9 He said, “Who are you?” And she answered, “I am Ruth, your servant; spread your cloak over your servant, for you are next-of-kin.” 10 He said, “May you be blessed by the Lord, my daughter; this last instance of your loyalty is better than the first; you have not gone after young men, whether poor or rich. 11 And now, my daughter, do not be afraid; I will do for you all that you ask, for all the assembly of my people know that you are a worthy woman. 12 But now, though it is true that I am a near kinsman, there is another kinsman more closely related than I. 13 Remain this night, and in the morning, if he will act as next-of-kin for you, good; let him do so. If he is not willing to act as next-of-kin for you, then, as the Lord lives, I will act as next-of-kin for you. Lie down until the morning.” 14 So she lay at his feet until morning, but got up before one person could recognize another; for he said, “It must not be known that the woman came to the threshing-floor.” 15 Then he said, “Bring the cloak you are wearing and hold it out.” So she held it, and he measured out six measures of barley, and put it on her back; then he went into the city. 16 She came to her mother- in-law, who said, “How did things go with you, my daughter?” Then she told her all that the man had done for her, 17 saying, “He gave me these six measures of barley, for he said, ‘Do not go back to your mother-in-law empty-handed.'” 18 She replied, “Wait, my daughter, until you learn how the matter turns out, for the man will not rest, but will settle the matter today.” P. The word of the Lord. C. Thanks be to God!

Jesus promises that “where two or three are gathered in my name, I am there among them.” Here, Jesus speaks of the power of Christian community. Of God's people gathered together in Jesus' name. Tonight we get to celebrate our All Saints Remembrance and Celebration, where we each will have a chance to remember and give thanks for someone who has encouraged us in our faith and in our relationship with Jesus.We sang, “Here I raise my Ebenezer, for by thy help I've come.” An Ebenezer is a stone of help. In the Bible, Samuel experiences God's help and sets up a stone as a sign to remind the people that God helped them in that place. Tonight, we'll read about Jacob also setting up a stone as a sign that God is in the place he was.
