As Hebrews comes to a close, we're reminded again: Jesus is our altar, our sacrifice, our High Priest. We are called to bear His reproach, to live in obedience, and to trust in God's work in us. This is no ordinary farewell—it's a final charge to stand firm in grace. Let's finish the race well. The Rev. Robert Smith, pastor emeritus in Ft. Wayne, IN, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Hebrews 13:9-25. For centuries, God spoke through prophets, in visions, through fire and thunder on Mount Sinai. But now, Hebrews tells us, He has spoken fully and finally in His Son. This book isn't just another epistle—it's the key that unlocks the Old Testament, revealing how everything was always pointing to Christ. The prophets, the angels, the priesthood, the sacrifices—all find their fulfillment in Him. Over the next several weeks, we'll walk through Hebrews, uncovering its depth, its urgency, and its breathtaking vision of Jesus as the great High Priest, the perfect sacrifice, and the One who is greater than all who came before. If you've ever wondered how the Old and New Testaments connect, how the shadows become substance, this is the book to study. Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.

Co-Hosts: Steve Macchia and Matt Scott “God's love is the greatest healer, the golden filigree of restoration and redemption of every ounce of pain being carried by an overburdened life.” - Steve Macchia  Season 34 comes to a close as this episode reflects on some of the central themes of Steve's book “Broken and Whole.” In this final conversation, Steve and Matt remind the listener that God desires to gracefully forgive and redeem our brokenness. And as the Spirit does a renewing work in our body, mind, and soul, strength will emerge from weakness. May this concluding episode offer you hope for reconciliation and restoration as you live and serve in the kingdom of God.  Join the conversation about spiritual discernment as a way of life at www.LeadershipTransformations.org and consider participation in our online and in-person program offerings.

Order of Service: - The Versicles (pp. 109-110) - Hymn 67 - Praise, My Soul, the King of Heaven - Hebrews 4:14-16: Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need. - Homily - Hymn 298 - Sing, My Tongue, How Glorious Battle: vv. 1, 4, 5, 8 - The Kyrie (Lord have mercy) (pp. 116-117) - The Lord's Prayer (p. 117) - The Collect (pp. 118-119) - The Benedicamus (p. 119) - The Benediction (p. 119) - Hymn 593 - On My Heart Imprint Thine Image Service Participants: Rev.

Order of Service: - Prelude - Hymn 292 - O Dearest Jesus, What Law Hast Thou Broken: vv. 1, 2, 4, 12, 15 - The Versicles (pp. 120-121) - Os Justi: Os justi meditabitur sapientiam, Et lingua ejus loquetur judicium. Lex Dei ejus in corde ipsius. Et non supplantabuntar gressus ejus. Alleluia. The mouth of the righteous speaks wisdom, and his tongue talks of judgement. The Law of God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide. Psalm 37:30-31 / Music: Eleanor Daley - John 19:31-42: Therefore, because it was the Preparation Day, that the bodies should not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. Then the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and of the other who was crucified with Him. But when they came to Jesus and saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs. But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out. And he who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true; and he knows that he is telling the truth, so that you may believe. For these things were done that the Scripture should be fulfilled, “Not one of His bones shall be broken.” And again another Scripture says, “They shall look on Him whom they pierced.” After this, Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly, for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate gave him permission. So he came and took the body of Jesus. And Nicodemus, who at first came to Jesus by night, also came, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds. Then they took the body of Jesus, and bound it in strips of linen with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury. Now in the place where He was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had yet been laid. So there they laid Jesus, because of the Jews' Preparation Day, for the tomb was nearby. - Homily - Magnificat (choral setting by Ralph Vaughan Williams) - The Kyrie (p. 124) - The Lord's Prayer (p. 125) - Hymn 584 - Grant Peace, We Pray, in Mercy, Lord - The Collect (pp. 125-127) - The Benedicamus (p. 127) - The Benediction (p. 127) - Hymn 293 - O What Precious Balm and Healing: vv. 1, 4 - Postlude Service Participants: Peter Estrem (Preacher), Rev.

Send us a textWe wrap up our "Faith in Action" series with Paul's final words in 2Corinthians. After he finishes what he has to say, he gives a benediction to the people. There are lots of questions surrounding the meaning and purpose of the benediction, including what are they? What is their meaning in Scripture? Today, why do we include it in our worship services? Is it just a nice way to wrap up the worship service, or is it something more? What does it mean to ‘receive' the benediction? Is it a prayer? A proclamation? Or both? Thanks for tuning in!

Interview by Angela CroudaceFor fans of death metal, Benediction needs no introduction. With a history that spans decades, the band has continually pushed boundaries, proving that their music is not only timeless but still relevant today. As the band gears up for the release of their highly anticipated album Ravage of Empires, we sat down with Daz Brookes, one of the founding members, to chat about their enduring success, the return of Dave Ingram, and what's next for the legendary group.It's been over 30 years since Benediction first made its mark on the death metal scene, but for Daz, it still feels like the dream is alive. "I'm living the dream, man. That's what I wanted to do when I was a kid, and I'm still doing it at 56 years old," he says. "I still get the same buzz I did when I was younger. I'm still excited about gigs and new releases. I've got no intention of giving up yet."Perhaps one of the most significant moments in Benediction's recent history was the return of Dave Ingram to the fold for Scriptures. After a 21-year hiatus, the reunion marked a new chapter for the band. Daz recalls, "It was almost like he'd never left. It felt natural, like nothing had changed, despite all the time apart. We'd had some awkward years after he left, but time heals all, right?"Their reunion was not just about the past, but about reinvigorating the band for the future. "When it came down to writing the album, Dave put his vocals exactly where we'd expect him to," Daz explains. "It felt like he'd never been gone."On the new album, Benediction continues to evolve musically. "We don't do album fillers," Daz insists. "We want every track to be strong, and that's what we've been doing for years now." Despite the challenges of distance - Daz and guitarist Peter Rewinsky live in the UK, while Ingram resides in Denmark and Gio in Italy - the band's writing process remains a collaborative one. "We send riffs back and forth, and when we all come together, it's like a well-oiled machine."When asked about the current state of death metal, Daz doesn't mince words. "It's become a competition for speed and extremity," he says. "Everybody's trying to outdo the last band, and it's kind of losing its essence. When we perform, whether it's in front of 70,000 people or 500, it's the same feeling. People are singing our songs, and that's what it's all about."Benediction's music remains grounded in simplicity. "We don't need to reinvent the wheel," Daz adds. "We just do what we do, and people respond to that. Simple is good."As the band heads into their EuropBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

Then they took Jesus and led Him away. 17 And He, bearing His cross, went out to a place called the Place of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha, 18 where they crucified Him, and two others with Him, one on either side, and Jesus in the center. 19 Now Pilate wrote a title and put it on the cross. And the writing was: JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS. 20 Then many of the Jews read this title, for the place where Je-sus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in He-brew, Greek, and Latin. 21 Therefore the chief priests of the Jews said to Pilate, “Do not write, ‘The King of the Jews,' but, ‘He said, “I am the King of the Jews.” ' ” 22 Pilate answered, “What I have written, I have written.” 23 Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took His garments and made four parts, to each soldier a part, and also the tunic. Now the tunic was without seam, woven from the top in one piece. 24 They said therefore among themselves, “Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be,” that the Scrip-ture might be fulfilled which says: “They divided My garments among them, And for My clothing they cast lots.” Therefore the soldiers did these things. 25 Now there stood by the cross of Jesus His mother, and His mother's sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. 26 When Jesus therefore saw His mother, and the disciple whom He loved standing by, He said to His mother, “Woman, behold your son!” 27 Then He said to the disciple, “Behold your mother!” And from that hour that disciple took her to his own home. 28 After this, Jesus, knowing that all things were now accom-plished, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, said, “I thirst!” 29 Now a vessel full of sour wine was sitting there; and they filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on hyssop, and put it to His mouth. 30 So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!” And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit. - Special Music: Responsory Hymn: Stricken, Smitten (Every Sunday Organist) - Hymn 297 - Stricken, Smitten, and Afflicted: vv. 1, 4 - Homily - Special Music: Canticle (Psalm 64): Lord, Hear the Voice of My Complaint (J.

Order of Service: - Prelude - The Confession of Sin (p. 120) - Hymn 257 - When in the Hour of Utmost Need - The Versicles (pp. 120-121) - Psalm 130 (setting by Fernand de la Tombelle): From out of the depths I have cried to You, O Lord. Listen to my pleading, O Lord, And hear my voice. If You should, O Lord, mark our sins, Lord, who could stand before Your judgment? But there is forgiveness with You, That You may be feared and honored. My soul waits for the Lord, I wait and in His Word I place my hope. O Israel, hope in the Lord, for He is gracious. With Him is abundant redemption. He shall redeem us. He shall redeem us. He shall redeem us. Amen. - John 18:28-40: Then they led Jesus from Caiaphas to the Praetorium, and it was early morning. But they themselves did not go into the Praetorium, lest they should be defiled, but that they might eat the Passover. Pilate then went out to them and said, “What accusation do you bring against this Man?” They answered and said to him, “If He were not an evildoer, we would not have delivered Him up to you.” Then Pilate said to them, “You take Him and judge Him according to your law.” Therefore the Jews said to him, “It is not lawful for us to put anyone to death,” that the saying of Jesus might be fulfilled which He spoke, signifying by what death He would die. Then Pilate entered the Praetorium again, called Jesus, and said to Him, “Are You the King of the Jews?” Jesus answered him, “Are you speaking for yourself about this, or did others tell you this concerning Me?” Pilate answered, “Am I a Jew? Your own nation and the chief priests have delivered You to me. What have You done?” Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this world, My servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now My kingdom is not from here.” Pilate therefore said to Him, “Are You a king then?” Jesus answered, “You say rightly that I am a king. For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice.” Pilate said to Him, “What is truth?” And when he had said this, he went out again to the Jews, and said to them, “I find no fault in Him at all. But you have a custom that I should release someone to you at the Passover. Do you therefore want me to release to you the King of the Jews?” Then they all cried again, saying, “Not this Man, but Barabbas!” Now Barabbas was a robber. - Homily - Hymn 285 - Jesus Christ, Our Lord Most Holy - The Kyrie (p. 124) - The Lord's Prayer (p. 125) - Hymn 584 - Grant Peace, We Pray, in Mercy, Lord - The Collect (pp. 125-127) - The Benedicamus (p. 127) - The Benediction (p. 127) - Hymn 275 - We Bless Thee, Jesus Christ Our Lord - Postlude Service Participants: Chaplain Don Moldstad (Preacher), Rev.

Jesus, even at the height of his influence, didn't stay in the spotlight. He withdrew to pray. What about you? Do you take time to step away, or do you push through exhaustion? In this episode, we look at the prayer life of Jesus during Lent, focusing on Luke 5:15-16. Join Sara and Tim as they explore why Jesus prayed amid growing popularity and what it teaches us about retreat, renewal, and resisting the temptations of fame. Jesus' regular practice of withdrawing to pray offers vital lessons for maintaining clarity, purpose, and alignment with God's will in our own lives and ministries. As you listen, reflect on pivotal questions about popularity, God's direction, and how prayer can shape our actions and restore our focus. A powerful episode for anyone seeking to strengthen their spiritual journey during Lent.

Order of Service: - Prelude - The Confession of Sin (p. 120) - Hymn 24 - Lord, Open Thou My Heart To Hear - The Versicles (pp. 120-121) - Psalm 31: I trust in God, my Savior, my Defense. I hope and trust securely In Thy graciousness. Great Thy goodness toward those who fear Thee, Thou shalt preserve them from all slander; All lying will soon be still; For the Lord showed to me His kindness, He hath heard my cry for mercy; He hath strengthened my sighing heart. I trust in God, my Savior, my Defense. I hope and trust securely In Thy graciousness. Bow down Thine ear to hear me, to save me. Thou art my rock, my fortress, O Lord God of truth. Thou restrainest all those who hate me, Thou savest me from all my trouble; Make Thy countenance shine on me. For in Thee, Lord, alone I trusted, And have called on Thee to save me; In Thy mercy I shall rejoice. Glory to God the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, ever Three in One. (setting by Fernand de la Tombelle) - Jeremiah 1:4-10: Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying: “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.” Then I said: “Ah, Lord God! Behold, I cannot speak, for I am a youth.” But the Lord said to me: “Do not say, ‘I am a youth,' for you shall go to all to whom I send you, and whatever I command you, you shall speak. Do not be afraid of their faces, for I am with you to deliver you,” says the Lord. Then the Lord put forth His hand and touched my mouth, and the Lord said to me: “Behold, I have put My words in your mouth. See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out and to pull down, to destroy and to throw down, to build and to plant.” - Homily - Hymn 48 - in Peace and Joy I Now Depart - The Kyrie (p. 124) - The Lord's Prayer (p. 125) - Hymn 584 - Grant Peace, We Pray, in Mercy, Lord - The Collect (pp. 125-127) - The Benedicamus (p. 127) - The Benediction (p. 127) - Hymn 586 - How Blest Are They Who Hear God's Word - Postlude Service Participants: Chaplain Don Moldstad (Preacher), Rev. Prof. Mark DeGarmeaux (Organist), Erik Van Kampen (Soloist)

This week, I conclude my three-part series celebrating the best albums of 2024 and reveal my favourite release of 2024.  As is now our standing tradition, I am joined by Mike Hill.  Mike is a fellow Horseman of the Podcasting Apocalypse, a member of Tombs, Scorpio Throne and Begotten Sun and the host of the Everything Went Black and Necromaniacs podcasts.  PLUS, in my weekly news rant:  Rivers of Nihil turn in another slab of hot garbage, while posers across the globe bleat:  “AOTY 2025!” in unison. Soulcrusher Festival's recent cancellation of Akhlys highlights the need for bands to protect themselves contractually from the predations of our self-appointed moral superiors.  And I share my first impressions of new tracks by Benediction, Grab, Cryptosis and others.▶️SUPPORT THE BANDS FEATURED ON THIS EPISODEPrimordialhttps://primordialofficial.bandcamp.com/ Akhlyshttps://akhlys.bandcamp.com/ Sathanashttps://sathanas.bandcamp.com/ ▶️SUBSCRIBE TO THE PODCAST https://youtube.com/c/IntoTheNecrosphere ▶️STREAM & DOWNLOADAmazon Musichttps://amzn.to/3epNJ4KSpotifyhttps://spoti.fi/3iKqbIPApple Podcastshttps://apple.co/38wDYhi ▶️SOCIAL MEDIAFacebookhttps://www.facebook.com/intothenecrosphere  Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/intothenecrosphere    Twitterhttps://twitter.com/inecrosphere  ▶️INTO THE NECROSPHERE MERCHhttps://into-the-necrosphere.creator-spring.com▶️THE HORSEMEN OF THE PODCASTING APOCALYPSE Horrorwolf666https://thehorrorwolf666podcast.buzzsprout.com/ Everything Went Blackhttps://everythingwentblack.podbean.com/ Necromaniacshttps://necromaniacs.podbean.com/ Sol Noxhttps://www.solnoxpodcast.podbean.com/ Iblis Manifestationshttps://linktr.ee/iblismanifestationspodcast

What is a benediction? Is it a little perfunctory ceremony that helps everybody know it's time to find your purse and get ready to leave? No. I'd like to show you tonight that the benediction is the meaning of your whole life.  If you understand the benediction, when it's said to you, your whole life should flash before your eyes. A benediction is a blessing.  So let's look at 1) what God's blessing is, 2) how it comes, and 3) how it reshapes your life. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on September 14, 2008. Series: Liturgy: What we do in Worship. Scripture: Numbers 6:22-27.
