April 23 2023 recording of “SEE WHAT TODAY IS DONE” – By David Von Kampen Led by Jolene Burke, 40 singers, 15 strings, and a pianist combined to bring this worshipful sound of joy to God in celebration of the resurrection of Jesus. Pastor Tim provides some commentary on each of the 5 songs and then the Cantata is played in entirety. Music begins at the 9 minute mark and the lyrics are below. Movement 1:  “He is Arisen! Glorious Word!” He is arisen! Glorious Word! Now reconciled is God, my Lord; The gates of heav'n are open. My Jesus did triumphant die, And Satan's arrows broken lie, Destroyed hell's fiercest weapon. Oh, hear what cheer! Christ victorious Rising glorious, Life is giving. He was dead but now is living! Text by Brigitte Katerine Boye (1742-1824), tr. George A.T. Rygh (1860-1942) Movement 2:“A Sound of Exultation” Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his mercy endures for ever. Let Israel now proclaim, "His mercy endures for ever." The Lord is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation. There is a sound of exultation and victory in the tents of the righteous: "The right hand of the Lord has triumphed! the right hand of the Lord is exalted! the right hand of the Lord has triumphed!" I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord. This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118: 1-2, 14-17, 24 (ESV) Movement 3:  “Christ Jesus Lay in Death's Strong Bands” Christ Jesus lay in death's strong bands For our offenses given; But now at God's right hand He stands And brings us life from heaven. Therefore let us joyful be And sing to God right thankfully Loud songs of alleluia! Christ Jesus, God's own Son, came down, His people to deliver; Destroying sin, He took the crown From death's pale brow forever: Stripped of pow'r, no more it reigns; An empty form alone remains; Its sting is lost forever. Alleluia! Text by Martin Luther (1483-1546), tr. Richard Massie (1800-87)   Movement 4: “Job 19:25” For I know that my Redeemer lives, and at the last he will stand upon the earth.   Movement 5: “Awake, My Heart, With Gladness” Awake, my heart, with gladness, See what today is done; Now, after gloom and sadness, Comes forth the glorious sun. My Savior there was laid Where our bed must be made When to the realms of light Our spirit wings its flight. Text by Paul Gerhardt (1607-76), tr. John Kelly (1833-90)

April 8,  2023Today's Reading: Matt 27:57-66Daily Lectionary: Ex 13:17-14:9, Heb 7:1-22Matthew 27:59–60: “And Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen shroud and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had cut in the rock. And he rolled a great stone to the entrance of the tomb and went away.”In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. The Bible isn't much on the in-between.  We have Christmas, then nothing until Jesus' Ministry. No teenage Jesus. We get the cross and resurrection. Then some stuff about the last day.  But not much in the middle, where we spend every day. So people write books to try and fill in the gap. We're stuck in between Easter and the Last Day. And the in-between is where all my problems and sins and trials live. I think Easter vigil is for this.  Christ is dead and buried. He will rise tomorrow. But how do we feel today? Diet sad? Lowkey happy? What do we do in between? The Creed defines it for us in four words. He descended into hell. This was the in-between of the cross and resurrection. And even then, Jesus proclaimed the victory to the spirits in prison. Jesus kicked down the doors to hell. The cross was a real victory over the power of Satan, over the power of death. The reality was then, even before the triumph of Easter.  We live in the in-between, waiting, but the victory is already won. The devil still exists. But he lost. You still have sins, but they're forgiven. You still have trials, but you're a saint, a member of the host of heaven, waiting for the resurrection. You're tied to it today. Because Jesus who died is risen. Our Life is in between the already and the not yet, but we have the victory even now. Just as we know what's coming tomorrow, we know for ourselves too. Christ is risen. We will rise. The in-between is already answered. In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.Christ Jesus lay in death's strong bands For our offenses given; But now at God's right hand He stands And brings us life from heaven. Therefore let us joyful be And sing to God right thankfully Loud songs of alleluia! Alleluia!

Rev. Sean Kilgo, pastor at Redeemer Lutheran Church in Lawrence, KS, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel for Sharathon 2022 to study Martin Luther's Easter hymn, “Christ Jesus Lay in Death's Strong Bands.” This marvelous Easter hymn helps us to rejoice that Christ is the Savior who has done what we could not do. Our sin left us powerless in the prison of death, but Jesus has come to conquer this greatest enemy of ours and strip it of its reign and power. The strife was real and strange, yet the outcome of Jesus' victory was never in doubt. As the fulfillment of the Passover Lamb, Jesus' blood marks us as His own people so that no enemy can harm us. In this Easter joy, we keep the festival of the Lord's resurrection and receive Him and all His gifts in the Holy Supper of His Body and Blood. Lutheran Service Book 458 1 Christ Jesus lay in death's strong bands For our offenses given; But now at God's right hand He stands And brings us life from heaven. Therefore let us joyful be And sing to God right thankfully Loud songs of alleluia! Alleluia! 2 No son of man could conquer death, Such ruin sin had wrought us. No innocence was found on earth, And therefore death had brought us Into bondage from of old And ever grew more strong and bold And held us as its captive. Alleluia! 3 Christ Jesus, God's own Son, came down, His people to deliver; Destroying sin, He took the crown From death's pale brow forever: Stripped of pow'r, no more it reigns; An empty form alone remains; Its sting is lost forever. Alleluia! 4 It was a strange and dreadful strife When life and death contended; The victory remained with life, The reign of death was ended. Holy Scripture plainly saith That death is swallowed up by death, Its sting is lost forever. Alleluia! 5 Here our true Paschal Lamb we see, Whom God so freely gave us; He died on the accursed tree-- So strong His love--to save us. See, His blood now marks our door; Faith points to it; death passes o'er, And Satan cannot harm us. Alleluia! 6 So let us keep the festival To which the Lord invites us; Christ is Himself the joy of all, The sun that warms and lights us. Now His grace to us imparts Eternal sunshine to our hearts; The night of sin is ended. Alleluia! 7 Then let us feast this Easter Day On Christ, the bread of heaven; The Word of grace has purged away The old and evil leaven. Christ alone our souls will feed; He is our meat and drink indeed; Faith lives upon no other! Alleluia! hymnary.org/hymn/LSB2006/458

But [Jesus] answered them, "An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah. For just as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, so will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth."  (Matthew 12:39-40)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. What is the will of the Father? That He would break and hinder every evil plan and purpose of the devil, the world, and our sinful flesh that does not want His Word to be taught in truth and purity and does not want that Word to be believed in faith.The sinner wants to see signs and wonders. The sinner tells God that he will believe in Him as long as God shows him a sign. But the signs that we want are always the wrong type of sign. We want to dictate to God the ways in which He should do things, the ways in which He should work and save and forgive. In telling God how He should be God, we are really just making ourselves god. It is the fruit in the Garden all over again. Sinners never come up with anything new; we always revert back to the original sin of wanting to be like God.But God has already done it all for us in Christ Jesus, through a bloody Cross and an empty tomb. Believe in that, believe in Him, believe that God has already done the work of salvation and He gives that salvation to you in His Word and through His Sacraments.  A  Jesus risen from the dead is all that you need. The problem is that the sinner who is confident in his own ways won't even believe in the words of a once-dead Jesus, come back from the grave.And so the sinner needs Jesus. He needs Jesus for it all: for life, for forgiveness, even for faith. For the sinner on his own can't believe in the things of an empty tomb and all that that means. So we pray that His Word is taught among us in truth and purity: free Gospel given to us without any merit or worthiness on our part. And we pray that His Spirit would bring us to, and keep us in, the faith as we hear this Word taught among us, so that we might hear Christ say to us, "You are My brother and sister." In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.Christ Jesus, God's own Son, came down, His people to deliver; Destroying sin, He took the crownFrom death's pale brow forever: Stripped of pow'r, no more it reigns; An empty form alone remains;Its sting is lost forever. Alleluia! ("Christ Jesus Lay in Death's Strong Bands"  LSB 458, st.3)Audio Reflections Speaker: Pastor Duane Bamsch

Order of Service: - Prelude - I Will Praise Your Name Psalm 145: Soloist: I will praise your name, my king and my God. I will praise your name, my king and my God. Congreg: I will praise your name… S: I will give you glory, my God and King, and I will bless your name forever. Every day I will bless and praise your name forever. C: I will praise your name… S: The Lord is full of grace and mercy, He is kind and slow to anger. He is god in all His works and full of compassion. C: I will praise… S: Let all your works give you thanks O Lord, and let all the faithful bless you. Let them speak of your might O Lord, the glory of your kingdom. C: I will praise your name… S: The Lord is faithful in all His words, and always near, His name is holy. He lifts up all those who fall, He raises up the lowly. C: I will praise… - Acts 7: 54-60: When they heard these things they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed at him with their teeth. But he, being full of the Holy Spirit, gazed into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God, and said, “Look! I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!” Then they cried out with a loud voice, stopped their ears, and ran at him with one accord; and they cast him out of the city and stoned him. And the witnesses laid down their clothes at the feet of a young man named Saul. And they stoned Stephen as he was calling on God and saying, “Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.” Then he knelt down and cried out with a loud voice, “Lord, do not charge them with this sin.” And when he had said this, he fell asleep. - Hymn 343 - Christ Jesus Lay in Death's Strong Bands: vv. 1-3 - Devotion - Prayer - Hymn 343 - Christ Jesus Lay in Death's Strong Bands: vv. 4 & 6 - Blessing - Postlude Service Participants: Chaplain Don Moldstad (Preacher), Rev.

It's Bach Week on The Coffee Hour! Today, Dr. Maurice Boyer, professor of music at Concordia University Chicago and director of the American Kantorei (a group dedicated to the performance of J.S. Bach's music), joins Andy and Sarah to talk about Bach's theology in his sacred chorale cantatas. Hear about the place of the cantata or passion in the liturgy of a Sunday morning, how these cantatas follow our Church Year, what makes a chorale a unique part of the cantata, and which chorales would sound especially familiar to us.  Familiarize yourself with Bach's music that you will probably recognize! Work through this list of Chorale Cantatas by J.S. Bach with melodies contained in the Lutheran Service Book. For solid literal translations of the texts, see Emmanuel Music in Boston at emmanuelmusic.org.

Today's Reading: Romans 6:19-23 Daily Lectionary: 1 Samuel 3:1-21; Acts 16:1-22 For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 6:23) In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. Only someone who has spent all their life under slavery can be set free and ask, "What do I do now?" If you don't know what freedom really looks like, how would you know what to do when you're free? Only someone born under the threats and coercion of the Law can imagine that "freedom" looks like Netflix and a whole tub of ice cream just because serving your neighbor can be hard sometimes. What do you really gain from the bottom of the ice cream tub? What hope is found in ignoring your problems to binge-watch junk? I am speaking to you in human terms, because of your natural limitations. You are free from the Law's demands. It cannot condemn you in Christ Jesus your Lord. You have the free gift of God, eternal life, purchased by His death upon the Cross. When you return to pet sins, Jesus still died for you, your sins are still bled for and forgiven. That's not the question. The question is "Do those things actually help?" When we get stressed or angry, scared or just bored, we go looking for hope in something familiar, and we return to the things that held us captive. Real hope is never found there, though. Christianity is not asking the question, "Can you do whatever you want?" Instead, the question is "Where is hope which endures?" Christ endured death and rose again. Hope in something that leads to holiness and eternal life. Hope in something that isn't just numb. Everyone's owned by something. Either we're owned by our passions and our sins and we're not free to rise above them and build something that's more than comfortably numb, or we're owned by the God who purchased us with His own life so that He can keep us and shelter us now and to eternal life. One leads to death. The other to life. The free gift of God, eternal life, is given only to sinners. It's given to you. You don't have to earn it. You're free from sin. Free from death. Allowed to ask, "What do I do now?" It's answered by the God who simply says, "Live." Live in the things that produce hope. Live in the Law of God, free from its curse, because you were made alive in the Gospel, which promises that hope is a gift, not an escape. In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. No son of man could conquer death, Such ruin sin had wrought us. No innocence was found on earth, And therefore death had brought us Into bondage from of old And ever grew more strong and bold And held us as its captive. Alleluia!

Pastor Baker discusses theological distinctions between Law & Gospel. Today's topic of discussion is Easter Sunday's Hymn of the Day for Series B, LSB 458 "Christ Jesus Lay in Death's Strong Bands" with guest Rev. Mark Smith.

1 Christ Jesus lay in death's strong bands, For our offences given; But now at God's right hand He stands, And brings us life from heaven; Wherefore let us joyful be, And sing to God right thankfully Our songs of hallelujah. Hallelujah! ‘ 2 It was a strange and dreadful strife When life and death contended; The victory remained with life, The reign of death was ended; Holy Scripture clearly saith That death is swallowed up by death, His sting is lost for ever. Hallelujah! 3 Here the true paschal Lamb we see, Whom God so freely gave us; He died on the accursed tree- So strong His love! - to save us. See, His blood doth mark our door, Faith points to it, death passes o'er, The murderer cannot harm us. Hallelujah! 4 So let us keep the festival Whereto the Lord invites us; Christ is Himself the joy of all, The sun that warms and lights us. By His grace He doth impart Eternal sunshine to the heart; The night of sin is ended. Hallelujah! 5 Then let us keep the feast today That God Himself hath given, And His pure Word shall do away The old and evil leaven; Christ alone our souls can feed, He is our meat and drink indeed; Our faith would seek no other. Hallelujah!
