Jacob's favoritism towards his son Joseph sparks jealousy and hatred among his brothers. Joseph's dreams of ruling over his brothers only intensify their animosity. Sold into slavery by his own brothers, Joseph eventually rises to a position of power in Egypt through his God-given ability to interpret dreams. As a severe famine strikes the land, Joseph's brothers unknowingly come to him for food, not realizing that he is their brother. Joseph eventually reveals his identity to them, forgives them, and orchestrates the migration of their entire family to Egypt to last out the famine.Readings: Genesis 37:2-30, Genesis 41:25-40, Genesis 44:18-33.

Today we meet Abraham's grandsons, Jacob and Esau. Jacob, known for his deceitful ways, manages to gain the birthright and blessing intended for his older brother, Esau. We explore the significance of God's announcement that "the older will serve the younger" and how it plays out in the lives of these two brothers. Despite their flaws, we see how God's blessing is ultimately a gift and not something earned through deceit or strength. Jacob's struggle with God leads to a name change and confirmation of his inheritance of the Abrahamic Covenant promises.Readings: Genesis 25:19-33, Genesis 27:1-45, Genesis 32:24-30Support the showRead along with us in the Bible Brief App!Support the show: Tap here to become a monthly supporter!Review the show: Tap here!Want to go deeper?...Download the Bible Brief App!iPhone: App Store LinkAndroid: Play Store LinkWebsite: biblebrief.orgInstagram: @biblelitTwitter: @bible_litFacebook: @biblelitEmail the Show: biblebrief@biblelit.orgThis episode primarily uses the ESV Bible translation, but may also use CSB, NASB, and NKJV.Search Tags: bible, beginner, bible verse, god, verse of the day, prayer, jesus, bible study, scripture, learn, bible introduction, introduction, intro to the bible, introduction to the bible, beginner bible, bible overview, how to read the bible, what is the bible about, bible story, bible stories, what is the bible, ...

We meet Isaac and Ishmael, the first two sons of Abraham. Abraham and Sarah, desperate for a child, take matters into their own hands and conceive a son, Ishmael, through Sarah's maidservant Hagar. However, God confirms that His covenant promises will be fulfilled through Isaac, the son born to Abraham and Sarah. As Isaac grows, he becomes the embodiment of God's promises, and Abraham's faith is tested when God commands him to sacrifice Isaac. Abraham's unwavering trust in God's faithfulness is revealed as he demonstrates obedience to God's command. Readings: Genesis 16:1-15, Genesis 17:15-22, Genesis 22:1-18Support the showRead along with us in the Bible Brief App!Support the show: Tap here to become a monthly supporter!Review the show: Tap here!Want to go deeper?...Download the Bible Brief App!iPhone: App Store LinkAndroid: Play Store LinkWebsite: biblebrief.orgInstagram: @biblelitTwitter: @bible_litFacebook: @biblelitEmail the Show: biblebrief@biblelit.orgThis episode primarily uses the ESV Bible translation, but may also use CSB, NASB, and NKJV.Search Tags: bible, beginner, bible verse, god, verse of the day, prayer, jesus, bible study, scripture, learn, bible introduction, introduction, intro to the bible, introduction to the bible, beginner bible, bible overview, how to read the bible, what is the bible about, bible story, bible stories, what is the bible, ...

The world is filled with terrors—disease, disasters, violence, and death, reminiscent of the trials faced since Adam and Eve. Psalm 116 acknowledges these fears but expresses unwavering trust in God's deliverance. Paul, in II Corinthians 4:12-5:1, echoes this faith amidst persecution, driven by his belief in the resurrection of Jesus. Both the Psalmist and Paul remind us that our earthly struggles are temporary. Our bodies, like tents, will be replaced by eternal, heavenly dwellings. Despite the world's terrors, God's grace and mercy promise salvation and eternal life. Embracing this eternal perspective helps us face fears with confidence, knowing future glory far outweighs present trials. Readings: Genesis 3:1-21; Psalm 116; II Corinthians 4:13-5:5; Mark 3:20-35

Readings: Genesis 17:1-7, 15-16 | Romans 4:13-25 | Mark 8:31-38 | Psalm 22:22-30 Preached for the Second Sunday in Lent (2024-02-25).

Readings: Genesis 17:1-7, 15-16 | Romans 4:13-25 | Mark 8:31-38 | Psalm 22:22-30 Preached for the Second Sunday in Lent (2024-02-25).

The Second Sunday in Lent   Text: Romans 5:1-17   Theme: "What Would You Die For?"   Readings: Genesis 17:1-7, 15-18, Romans 5:1-11, Mark 8:27-38   Rev. Daniel Redhage   Trinity Lutheran Church   The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod   Lowden, Iowa

Readings: Genesis 22:1–2, 9–13, 15–18 Psalm 116:10, 15–19 Romans 8:31–34 Mark 9:2–10 The Lenten season continues with another story of testing. Last Sunday, we heard the trial of Jesus in the desert. In this week's First Reading, we hear of how Abraham was put to the test. The Church has always read this story as a sign of God's love for the world in giving His only-begotten son. In today's Epistle, Paul uses exact words drawn from this story to describe how God, like Abraham, did not withhold His only Son, but handed Him over for us on the Cross (see Romans 8:32; Genesis 22:12,16). In the Gospel today, too, we hear another echo. Jesus is called God's “beloved Son”—as Isaac is described as Abraham's beloved son. These readings are given to us in Lent to reveal Christ's identity and to strengthen us in the face of our afflictions. Jesus is shown to be the true son that Abraham rejoiced to see (see Matthew 1:1; John 8:56). In His transfiguration, He is revealed to be the “prophet like Moses” foretold by God—raised from among their own kinsmen, speaking with God's own authority (see Deuteronomy 18:15, 19). Like Moses, He climbs the mountain with three named friends and beholds God's glory in a cloud (see Exodus 24:1, 9, 15). He is the one prophesied to come after Elijah's return (see Sirach 48:9–10; Malachi 3:1, 23–24). And, as He discloses to the Apostles, He is the Son of Man sent to suffer and die for our sins (see Isaiah 53:3). As we sing in today's Psalm, Jesus believed in the face of His afflictions, and God loosed Him from the bonds of death (see Psalm 116:3). His rising should give us the courage to face our trials, to off er ourselves totally to the Father—as He did, as Abraham and Isaac did. Freed from death by His death, we come to this Mass to offer the sacrifice of thanksgiving, and to renew our vows—as His servants and faithful ones.

In the swift narrative of Mark's Gospel, details may seem sparse, but depth and meaning abound. Baptized by John in the Jordan, Jesus hears the heavens tear open, affirming him as the beloved Son. Driven into the wilderness by the Spirit, Jesus faces real struggles. Mark, unlike Matthew and Luke, leaves the temptations ambiguous. Lent isn't about a triumphant superhero, but a vulnerable Jesus in our shared wilderness. In life's diverse wildernesses, Jesus guides us, proclaiming the Kingdom, and reconciling us to God. The torn veil assures: You are loved. Amen.   Readings: Genesis 9:8-17 1 Peter 3:18-22 Gospel Reading • Mark 1:9-15

Each week, we provide questions based on last Sunday's sermon. These questions are to encourage you to connect the scriptures to your own life and to invite you to grow deeper in your relationships with others at Faith by discussing the questions together. Readings: Genesis 2:7-25; Mark 16:9-15 Sermon: We think we know the end of our story, but the Author of Life is writinga new beginning. Questions: 1) When have you thought you knew something, only to discover it was different than you thought? How did learning the truth make you feel? 2) What were you taught about the relationship betweenmen and women? To what extent was that understanding based on the story of Adam and Eve? 3) How might you get out in nature this week to remember your purpose to till and keep the earth? How might you proclaim the good news to the whole creation this week?

Readings: Genesis 9:8–15 Psalm 25:4–9 1 Peter 3:18–22 Mark 1:12–15 Lent bids us to return to the innocence our baptism. As Noah and his family were saved through the waters of the deluge, we were saved through the waters of Baptism, Peter reminds us in today's Epistle. And God's covenant with Noah in today's First Reading marked the start of a new world. But it also prefigured a new and greater covenant between God and His creation (see Hosea 2:20; Isaiah 11:1–9). We see that new covenant and that new creation begin in today's Gospel. Jesus is portrayed as the new Adam—the beloved son of God (see Mark 1:11; Luke 3:38), living in harmony with the wild beasts (see Genesis 2:19–20), being served by angels (see Ezekiel 28:12–14). Like Adam, He too is tempted by the devil. But while Adam fell, giving reign to sin and death (see Romans 5:12–14, 17–20), Jesus is victorious. This is the good news, the “gospel of God” that He proclaims. Through His death, resurrection, and enthronement at the right hand of the Father, the world is once again made God's kingdom. In the waters of Baptism, each of us entered the kingdom of His beloved Son (see Colossians 1:13–14). We were made children of God, new creations (see 2 Corinthians 5:7; Galatians 4:3–7). But like Jesus, and Israel before Him, we have passed through the baptismal waters only to be driven into the wilderness—a world filled with afflictions and tests of our faithfulness (see 1 Corinthians 10:1–4, 9,13; Deuteronomy 8:2, 16). We are led on this journey by Jesus. He is the Savior—the way and the truth we sing of in today's Psalm (see John 14:6). He feeds us with the bread of angels (see Psalm 78:25; Wisdom 16:20), and cleanses our consciences in the Sacrament of Reconciliation. As we begin this holy season, let us renew our baptismal vows—to repent and believe the gospel.

Many times in scripture God is revealed to us as full of compassion, plenteous in mercy and slow to anger. And while we are never able to earn His favor or repay His goodness, we are expected to respond aright. Too often, in receiving God's mercy, many become proud and cheapen God's overwhelming gift. Instead, as we see in today's readings, our trust in and response to God's character and providence requires patience, humility and mercy extended to others.

The Ancient of Days and Son of Man are on their thrones. But the kingdom of God has an enemy. Throughout our life we will meet many false prophets and many false teachers that are scattered within the Church by Satan. The mockery these people make of God, His teachings, and the church can often make us sad, anxious, and angry–even to the point of sinning ourselves. But while we must be careful not to fall victim or support them, perhaps we should remind ourselves that God Himself is patient. God is patient because He cares for all people but especially His children. Readings: Genesis 29:15-28; 1 Kings 3:3-14; Matthew 13:32-33, 44-52. 👉🏼 Blessed by our teachings?
