Safe in the Shepherd's Hands | John 10:22-33 In a world filled with countless voices clamoring for our attention, one voice stands apart—clear, faithful, and comforting. Jesus promises, “My sheep hear my voice.” Unlike the fleeting calls that leave us lost and alone, His voice remains steadfast and unwavering. Death could not silence Him, and His ascension did not distance Him. Today, He speaks through His Word, proclaimed by His apostles and pastors, ensuring His sheep are never without His guidance. When we wander, bruised and breathless, He does not scold; instead, He rejoices and gently gathers us into His embrace. You are never abandoned to life's chaotic noise. Your Good Shepherd calls you personally, leading you beside still waters. Join us as we explore the profound assurance of being safely held in the hands of our Good Shepherd. Key Takeaways: Jesus' voice offers comfort, direction, and assurance. His promise ensures we are never alone or abandoned. Through His Word and Sacraments, Christ continually calls and cares for us.

You Know It Is the Lord! | John 21:1-14 | Trinity Lutheran Church Have you ever had a moment when God's promises became unmistakably clear? In John 21:1-14, the disciples experience this very clarity. Initially, they don't recognize the figure on the shore—until He speaks and His promise is fulfilled. They've witnessed this before: a night of fruitless fishing, then a simple command from Jesus, and suddenly their nets overflow. "It is the Lord!" proclaims John, recognizing Jesus by His word that accomplishes exactly what He promises. Today, we hear that same powerful word, given so that "you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in His name" (John 20:31). Listen and believe—it truly is the Lord! ✨ Key Takeaways: Jesus fulfills His promises in unexpected ways. Recognizing Jesus comes through hearing His Word. God's Word is powerful, creating faith and life.

The Psalms are the prayerbook of the church. They are the songs which Jesus sang about the history of Israel as He went to worship in the temple at the festivals for 33 years. They are the words which Jesus clung to as He went to His crucifixion. As baptized into His death and resurrection, we the church can cling to these same words as well, trusting in the faithfulness of the Crucified One.

Gathered Under His Wing |  Luke 13:31-35 "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem….” These are words of exasperation—words spoken by Jesus as He laments over His people. If you are a parent, you've said these words. If you are a child, you've heard them. They express frustration, yet also deep love. Jesus preached, but they would not listen. He rebuked, but they would not repent. Yet, in His mercy, He does not abandon them. Instead, He gathers them—as a hen gathers her brood under her wings. Even in our sin and rebellion, He loves us still. Lent is a season of reflection and repentance, a time to heed the words of Joel 2:13: "Return to the Lord your God, for He is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love."

The Nerve of Him | Luke 4:1-13 The temptation of Jesus in the wilderness reveals the incredible arrogance of the devil. He dares to tempt God Himself—thinking, somehow, that he can claim victory over the very Word made flesh. His audacity is both appalling and foolish. But in this confrontation, we also witness the unwavering resolve of Jesus. Even after fasting for forty days, He stands firm, wielding the Word of God against the tempter. Unlike Adam and Eve, who fell into sin in the garden, Jesus remains steadfast. He does not waver. He does not stumble. Instead, He conquers the enemy with the truth of Scripture. As the hymnwriter proclaims: "You strove with Satan, and You won; Your faithfulness endured." (LSB #418 v. 2) Join us as we reflect on Christ's victory over temptation and what it means for us today.
