Why is there a Bible study for the LCMS Convention, and how does this study help us walk together as Synod? The Rev. Timothy Pauls (Pastor of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Boise, ID, and author of the 2026 Convention Bible Study) joins Andy and Sarah to talk about why we have a Bible study written specifically for the Convention, the theme for this Convention and Bible study, why this theme is significant to us today, the structure of the Bible study, a few of the emphases in the study, and how these themes encourage us as we walk together as Synod. Find the Bible Study at lcms.org/convention/national/worship/bible-study. As you grab your morning coffee (and pastry, let's be honest), join hosts Andy Bates and Sarah Gulseth as they bring you stories of the intersection of Lutheran life and a secular world. Catch real-life stories of mercy work of the LCMS and partners, updates from missionaries across the ocean, and practical talk about how to live boldly Lutheran.

In this episode of Made to be a Kingdom, Fathers Anthony Perkins and Harry Linsenbigler explore how Pascha functions as the Church's great “reset,” reordering the liturgical year and illuminating the rhythm of Scripture and worship. Beginning with the proclamation of the Word in Gospel of John and the witness of Acts of the Apostles, they trace how the Church reads the Resurrection through the weeks of Paschaltide, culminating in Ascension and Pentecost. The conversation highlights how the healing narratives—such as the Paralytic, the Samaritan Woman, and the Man Born Blind—reveal the Resurrection already at work in the life of the faithful. Grounded in hymnography and liturgical practice, this episode offers a pastoral and theological guide to living the “fifty days” as a sustained participation in the light and life of the risen Christ. Enjoy the show!

1 Corinthians 15:1-8

On this third Sunday of Eastertide, we find ourselves on the road to Emmaus in the gospel of Luke. Now that the resurrection has happened, the disciples are left wondering, “what happens now?” While Christ's work of salvation is complete, we must allow it to have its complete effect on our lives, reordering our vision, desires, and hopes. "Christ is Risen! Now What?," Eastertide, Luke 24:13-35, The Rev. Zach Croonquist.

Christ Is Risen... There is Hope for Us All!1 Corinthians 15:1-7, 12-26, 32, 54-58 | Easter Sunday | King's Chapel Live StreamThe resurrection of Jesus is not just a moment in history. It changes everything.In 1 Corinthians 15, we are reminded that if Christ has not been raised, our faith is empty and our hope is lost. But Christ has been raised. And because He lives, hope is not just possible. It is certain.This Easter message looks at what the resurrection means for every part of life.Because Christ is risen, there is hope for our salvation. Our sin has been paid for, death has been defeated, and our future is secure. What once separated us from God has been overcome through the victory of Jesus.Because Christ is risen, there is hope for history. This world is not random or without direction.

Even though the world still feels broken, the story is not finished. The curse will not last forever. God has promised a new creation where all things are made right.The resurrection means that hope is not wishful thinking. It is anchored in a living Savior.If you are searching for hope, meaning, or something that lasts, this message points to the empty tomb and the risen Christ who makes all things new.Connect with King's Chapel in Longwood, FL - ▶️ www.kingschapelfl.com▶️ https://www.facebook.com/KingsChapelfl▶️ https://www.instagram.com/kingschapelfl/For the GLORY of our Great GodFor the GOOD of our NeighborEaster sermon, 1 Corinthians 15 resurrection, Christ is risen message, hope in Jesus sermon, King's Chapel Longwood FL, resurrection of Jesus explained, Easter Bible teaching, victory over death sermon, new creation hope

1 Corinthians 15:1-8

.When Mary and Mary Magdalene arrived at the tomb where Jesus had been placed after His crucifixion, they found it empty. An angel told them that Jesus had risen from the dead. The women were told to go quickly and tell His disciples.  The women experienced fear and great joy. Joy and fear often mix in the working of the gospel. Fallen humans-even when redeemed-cannot help feeling great fear in the presence of the holy God and His angelic servants. Fear simply rises in us when we are confronted with a threatening moment. The fear is physical. It takes the form of an adrenaline burst. It makes the heart race. It gives us the energy to flee for survival. Over time, the stresses of fear take their toll in many illnesses that wear down both physical strength and mental well-being.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sermons-from-my-heart--2423678/support.

He Saw and Believed: Today's Gospel centers on belief. The empty tomb is not confusion. It is confirmation. You are called to renew your faith in the Resurrection, the foundation of everything.

This lecture centers on the resurrection of Jesus as detailed in Matthew 28:1-10, exploring its significance and implications for believers today. The speaker begins by recounting the familiar Easter narrative where Mary Magdalene and the other Mary visit the tomb only to encounter an angel proclaiming that Jesus has risen from the dead. This moment is described as cataclysmic, suggesting a historic pivot in the world's narrative; it emphasizes the reality of the resurrection as a verifiable event witnessed by countless individuals.The theology of resurrection is unpacked with particular attention to the implications of Jesus' victory over death. The speaker argues that the resurrection is not merely an isolated event but the dawn of a new creation. Drawing parallels between the resurrection narrative and the initial act of creation, the speaker notes that just as creation began on a new day, the resurrection marks a moment of divine recreation. This transformation signifies that God is actively at work in the world, making things new through Jesus' resurrection.The speaker elaborates on two key implications of this new reality. The first is the notion of being made right with God through Jesus' resurrection. The idea of justification is explained through scriptural reference, where the resurrection confirms believers' acceptance and forgiveness. The speaker challenges conventional perspectives on righteousness, emphasizing that comparison with others often leads to self-deception. Instead, the biblical standard of loving God and neighbor lays bare the reality of human shortcoming, which is beautifully addressed through Jesus' sacrificial act.Furthermore, the message connects resurrection with the hope of future resurrection for all believers. The speaker introduces agricultural imagery, likening Jesus' resurrection to the first fruits of a forthcoming harvest of resurrection life. This promise is vividly illustrated through anecdotes of personal loss, highlighting the profound hope the resurrection offers in the face of death and grief.Lastly, the discourse invites listeners to consider the wild nature of these claims regarding resurrection, urging them to engage thoughtfully with their belief in Jesus. The speaker encapsulates the desire for both believers and seekers to experience the resurrected Christ in a meaningful way, suggesting pathways for prayer and deeper connection to God. The message culminates in an invitation to believers to renew their understanding of the resurrection as not just a historical event but a transformative reality that beckons them into a dynamic relationship with the risen Jesus.

April 5, 2026 – Easter Sunday: May God's words be spoken, may God's words be heard. Amen. Well, I had hoped it would be a bit more Springy today. Still, even if the weather isn't sunny and bright, Spring truly is here – flowers are blooming, birds are singing, everyone is sneezing, and move aside basketball on TV – baseball is back! And Lordy, do we need all of that now, don't we? It's been a tough winter, and an exhausting year. Weather wise, this winter has chilled us to the bone, and drenched our spirits in the snow and icy rain. And the gloomy clouds matched a lot of our spirits with all that we were experiencing in the world around us. On Good Friday, we remembered when empire crucified Jesus. And this year, it seems we have been in a perpetual Good Friday. Day after day after day, we see Jesus being crucified. For we know, as this Gospel of Matthew tells us, Jesus taught his disciples where to find him. As I noted at the beginning of this Holy Week on Palm Sunday, and again on Good Friday, Jesus, using the setting of a final judgement, said about those who will be declared righteous, “…for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger (immigrant in today's terms) and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me.” When perplexed as to how they had done that, the answer came, “Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.” So, the part of the story of Holy Week, the shallow praise of the people as he entered Jerusalem, his prayer of grief in the garden of Gethsemane, and his execution on the cross by the Roman Empire – it feels very familiar now. It is a darkness that we have been experiencing for so very long as we watch our own empire grab people of color out of their homes, places of work, or even children in school and disappear them. As we see empire shoot and sometimes kill people outright in the streets. We feel betrayed. We grieve as we hear of the oppression of already marginalized people, our nation bombing a school for girls, and service men and women returning home in flag draped coffins. Our country has been in a very, very, long Holy Week. It seems that might has shoved right into a tomb and rolled over the stone. It sure must have felt that way to the first followers of Jesus too. And yet, that isn't the end of the story. Mary Magdalene and the other Mary… Honestly, can we just stop right there…what is up with that? I mean couldn't the author of Matthew give that other Mary a surname too? It's a little like on that old Bob Newhart Show – My brother Darryl, and my other brother Darryl. I know – showing my age here. But, really? Anyway, those two Marys went to the tomb expecting to care for the body of Jesus, their friend and their rabbi. Instead, their world was turned upside down – literally. There was a great earthquake – just like what happened according to this gospel account when he died on the cross, and the same effect was felt too as he entered the city of Jerusalem. God sure knows how to get our attention. And the only thing the women found that was dead were the soldiers – or at least they “became like dead men” according to the text. That was because just as they arrived, a messenger of God appears looking like lightening, who rolled away the stone and sat on it, you know – like you do if you are a messenger of God, I guess. Then the women were told that the tomb was empty, Jesus had been raised from the dead, and they were to go tell all the other disciples. They did, but before they could get very far, Jesus appears before them on the road. And if that wasn't crazy, it gets even stranger – he says “Greetings!” Seriously? It's like he's messin' with them. There they were, having experienced an earthquake, a lightening bolt angel, nearly dead soldiers, and a missing Rabbi, whom they were told has somehow been brought back from the dead… I mean – that's already a LOT to deal with, right? And then Jesus drops down on them and says “Hey you'all!! What up?” I don't know about you, but you could hardly blame her if Mary Magdalene said “It's five o'clock somewhere, I need a drink.” Instead, she and Mary the sequel grabbed his feet and kissed them. Note that they didn't need anything more, as the ones in Galilee would ask for – just him being in front of them was all that was needed. And, not for nothing, but as is needed to be pointed out every year – Jesus came to see the women disciples before Peter, James, John, or any of the other men. Jesus, in every gospel account, always appears to Mary Magdalene first (and any other woman who happens to be with her in the synoptics of Matthew, Mark, and Luke – in John, she comes alone). She, and if there are other women with her, are sent to tell the rest of the disciples. The women were the apostles to the apostles. The first ones sent to proclaim the good news. And what was that good news? That the cross, erected by empire to destroy love, to extinguish hope – it wasn't the last word. Or, to put it another way, since it is the early days of baseball season, in the immortal words of the great Yogi Berra, – “It ain't over 'til it's over.” Now, Yogi said that about the 1973 pennant race when the former Yankee was the manager of my hapless Mets. They were 13 games back, in other words, a usual season. The manager wrote a 1998 astutely named book: The Yogi Book: I Really Didn't Say Everything I Said. In it he said, “That was my answer to a reporter when I was managing the New York Mets in July 1973.” Of course, he also said other, what some call Yogi-isms: There's “It's like déjà vu all over again.” And of course, this classic: “Always go to other people's funerals, otherwise they won't go to yours.” But, “It's not over till it's over,” still has a way of inspiring us. It sure did the Mets. They went on the win the pennant and got into the World Series! In true Mets fashion though, they lost. Well, here's the thing. Easter is when God offers the same message, “It ain't over till it's over,” but adds this note of hope: “And I am telling you – it ain't over.”2 It ain't over. Nope – God isn't dead or defeated, so neither are we. That is the first lesson of Easter – hope. But another is this. That is in these Good Friday moments, when the tomb looms large and empire seems to have their boots on our neck, God will always meet us there, in our darkest hour – when it seems that all hope has been lost. God will meet us on that difficult road and instill new life into us to send us on our mission in the world. God will do that, because God loves us – just as we are, unconditionally, and for all time. That is the second lesson of Easter – Love. God.Loves.Us. God.Loves.You! For Mary Magdalene and the other Mary, for the rest of the disciples in Galilee, and for each of you – God meets us where we are and calls us to new life, because of that great love. And God is with us now! That, my friends, is good news for us all! But sometimes we don't see it. Sometimes we don't lift our eyes to see Jesus on the road, we don't go to the tomb to encounter an angel waiting for us. When life throws so much at us in these difficult times of our lives, one of the things that can happen is that we, intentionally or not, turn away from the pain and chaos around us. We dismiss the pain in our body out of fear of a difficult diagnosis. We turn off the TV so we don't have to see people being hurt or killed by federal agents. We keep our heads down looking at our social media feeds of cat videos. We watch Hallmark movies (or, maybe that's just me). We turn to the things that comfort us, even sometimes self-medicate to ease the anxiety and the pain. Now, don't get me wrong – comfort is important. We all need it. We all need rest from what wears us down emotionally, physically, mentally, and spiritually. That is a healthy thing to do. But there is a difference between seeking temporary respite, and deliberately putting ourselves in the tomb and rolling over the stone. I am reminded of something I read once about lost sheep. “When someone asked a wise old shepherd how sheep manage to get lost and separate themselves from the flock, the shepherd said, “Sheep don't just get lost. They nibble themselves lost.” The sheep, in other words, never look up to see where they're going, or how far they've wandered from the flock. All they can see is the next succulent patch of grass: and the next, and the next. The grass is a good thing, and essential to life: but they follow it so single-mindedly, it leads them ultimately in the direction of death.”[1] A good patch of comfort to nibble on for a time is a good thing, but we must keep our eyes focused on what will really sustain us, so that we never get ourselves lost – so that we see God sending a messenger to give us hope, so that we see Jesus standing in front of us to offer us new life. Even in Holy Week, if we focus only on the betrayal, denial, anguish in the garden, the arrest, and the crucifixion, we will miss something else. There was also his great love in washing the feet of his disciples – even the ones who would deny and betray him. There are always the helpers, the ones who offer great love in all of the darkest moments of humanity's history. We just need to watch for them. And, if we really think about it, in these dark times we face, the comfort we truly need isn't to be found in self-medicating, isolating, or ignoring the world anyway. We shouldn't throw the blanket over our head on Sundays and attend the church of the Holy Comforter. No, it is here, at this table, where we are brought back from the dead by him whose resurrection restores our souls and reminds us that there is nothing in the world to be afraid of when we stay close to Christ Jesus. For by his death and resurrection we know that life is stronger than death, light overcomes darkness in the end, and love will always defeat hate. Every single time. By his death and resurrection, we know that the powers of this world are weak, and there is nothing to fear. By his death and resurrection, we know that the earthly powers of this world do not have the last say – God does. It was true of Rome so long ago, and it is true today. So, let us rise up from our despair, grief, and isolation. Let us step away from the tombs in which the powerful of the world have tried to bury the love of Christ. Let us lift our heads from the comfortable, to return to the true comfort of our shepherd – here at this table. Because make no mistake about it – God is telling us: “It ain't over till I say it is over, and folks, I am telling you it ain't over! It ain't over because Christ Is Risen! He Is Risen Indeed! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! And that, my friends, changes everything. Happy Easter Everyone!

It's about what His resurrection means for you now, for your future, and for the good news you now have to share. Because Jesus is risen, that changes everything for you and for the whole world!

April 5, 2026

Everything in Christianity comes down to one truth: Jesus rose from the dead—and that changes everything. Because He's alive, our sins can be forgiven, our future is secure, and our suffering has purpose. Even without seeing Him, we can trust that our faith is real—and it leads to eternal life. The resurrection isn't just something we celebrate… it's something we respond to.

Easter is the celebration of Christ's sacrificial death on the cross in our place and for our sin, and His resurrection from the dead, where He broke the power of sin and death over all who believe in Him. Just as Jesus was raised from the dead, so shall all who put their ultimate trust in Him as Lord and Savior. The events surrounding Christ's sacrifice paint a vivid picture of what Jesus did for us and what His sacrifice accomplished.Russell TolentinoSunday, April 5 Live at 6:00 PM

Sunday, April 5 | 1 Corinthians 15 | Pastor Daniel Cohee

As we have died with Christ, we now rise with Him in his bodily resurrection making all things new not just 2,000 years ago, but even at this very moment and forever.

See the resurrection not as a distant event but as a present reality that changes how you view death, sin, and your future. While everything around Jesus' crucifixion seemed final, God reversed the outcome by raising Him from the dead, showing that death does not have the last word.

In this Easter Sunday sermon from Colossians 2:1–5, we see the heart of a faithful shepherd, the shape of a healthy church, and the glory of the risen Christ who is enough for His people.The central focus reveals that all treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden in Christ alone, making Him completely sufficient for salvation, sanctification, and every spiritual need. This biblical truth stands against cultural pressures to find fulfillment and wisdom outside of Christ. Learn how the resurrection validates Jesus' claims as the Son of God and why this demands more than intellectual acknowledgment.

The resurrection isn't just about life after death. The resurrection of Jesus is also about the beginning of end times fulfillment today. Christ followers are not just waiting for the appearance of Jesus, but every day usher in His coming kingdom in real world time through concrete actions.Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:20-23**For the best uninterrupted livestream experience, participate in this week's sermon at nblc.net/sermons

Blessed Eastertide to all our listeners from the C&SI team!On this week's programme we are delighted to welcome back Noirin Lynch, Director of FCJ Spirituality House, Teach Spiorodáltathe in Spanish Point, Co Clare to reflect on Easter Joy in a world gone mad. Noirin reminds us that Easter is not either about stopping in the paid of Good Friday nor at the same time running into the Alleluia's but more a reminder to us that Easter Joy is the confidence that no matter what, we are in God's hands. Jesus walked towards the hard stuff – he came down from Tabor and proceeded to Jerusalem and ultimately to Calvary. He stayed and we are also called to stay in solidarity and accompany people in their real lived experiences. The Kingdom of Heaven is not just a theory for the next life but a call to hope now. Our Easter Joy is a protest against despair in a world that might seem to have gone mad. In part 1 we have a brief view of the up coming Easter Week and the Octave that we are about to celebrate liturgically as well as some papal odds and ends. In part 3, we reflect on Matthew's account of Easter Morning (Matthew 28:1-10) and the encounter of the Women with the Angels and the Empty Tomb; asking ourselves the question like the women, who is it we are seeking? And do we sometimes forget to leave behind the empty tomb and go out into the world, reminding ourselves not to be afraid!Text us at +353 874668950 or email at comeandseeinspirtaions@gmail.com

The Catechism demonstrates how Christ's resurrection is “essentially different” from other cases of resurrection in the Bible and shows us how his rising from the dead is a “work of the Holy Trinity.” Fr. Mike emphasizes that Jesus was not merely “resuscitated” from the dead, as Jairus' daughter or Lazarus, but he rose from the dead glorified, “filled with the power of the Holy Spirit.” Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 645-650.
