Fr. John Christian's Homily for the 4th Sunday of Advent 2024, Readings: Micah 5:1-4a, Psalm 80 , Hebrews 10:5-10, Luke 1:39-45 Intro/Outro music from "by Daylight" from www.epidemicsound.com

Originally delivered on December 18, 1988 Readings: Micah 5:1-4; Hebrews 10:5-10; Luke 1:39-45 Elizabeth greets Mary as “the mother of my Lord.”  This Gospel reminds us that perhaps few of us are prophetic, like John the Baptist in last week's reading, but many more are like Elizabeth. By accepting ourselves, as God has created us, […]

"Zion" is among the most evocative names in Scripture, suggesting the union of heaven and earth in the Jerusalem Temple Mountain. In this sermon, Tim sketches the way "Zion" develops from a nationalistic symbol, via being a symbol of universal hope for the nations, to a place in the heart set aside for the worship of God "in spirit and in truth". Since St Michael's is being called in this season to "deeper worship", what does it mean for us to erect Mt Zion in our hearts? Tim suggests is requires us (i) to keep up the habit of worship, (ii) to be honest, and to confess where we are struggling to surrender to God, (iii) to be wholehearted. Readings: Micah 4.1-5 Psalm 48 (cp. also Psalm 87) Hebrews 12.18-29 John 4.19-25

Nativity Bible Study The first Lord I Call verse from the Vespers of Nativity: Come, let us greatly rejoice in the Lord, as we sing of this present mystery. The wall which divided God from man has been destroyed. The flaming sword withdraws from Eden's gate; The cherubim withdraw from the Tree of Life, and I, who had been cast out through my disobedience, now feast on the delights of paradise: For today the father's perfect image, marked with the stamp of His eternity, has taken the form of a servant. Without undergoing change He is born from an unwedded mother; He was true God, and He remains the same, but through His love for mankind, He has become what He never was: true man! Come, O faithful, let us cry to Him: O God, born of a virgin, have mercy on us! The most concentrated alternation of scripture and hymnographic commentary occurs during the Royal Hours. First Hour Psalms: Psalm 5 (a morning psalm in its usual place), Psalm 44 (Messianic Psalm about the wedding; Hebrews 1:8 confirms; also used in vesting prayers and Proskomedia), Psalm 45 (Be still and know; God is with us).  Prokimen:  Psalm 2: 7,8). The Lord said unto Me: Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten Thee. Ask of Me, and I shall give Thee the heathen for Thine inheritance. Readings:  Micah 5:2–4 (Prophecy of Bethlehem), Hebrews:1:1-13 (St. Paul interprets the OT and explains the divinity of XC). St. Matthew 1:18-25 (Narrative: birth). A Hymn:  Prepare, O Bethlehem, and let the manger make ready and the cave receive; for truth hath come, and shadow hath passed. And God hath appeared to mankind from the Virgin, taking our likeness and deifying our nature. Wherefore, Adam and Eve are made new, crying, Goodwill hath appeared on earth to save our race. Third Hour Psalms: Psalm 66 (a song of the Resurrection), Psalm 86 (A prophecy on the meaning of the Nativity and the uniting of the nations in the Church), Psalm 50 (usual Psalm). Prokimen:  Isaiah 9:6. For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given and the government shall be upon His shoulder  Readings: Baruch 3:35-4:4 (Wisdom appeared on earth and lived among mankind). Galatians 3:23-29 (we are one in Christ).  St. Luke 2:1-20 (narrative: shepherds). A Hymn: Tell us, O Joseph, how it is that thou dost bring the Virgin whom thou didst receive from the holy places to Bethlehem great with child? And he replieth, saying, I have searched the Prophets, and it was revealed to me by the angel. Therefore, I am convinced that Mary shall give birth in an inexplicable manner to God, whom Magi from the east shall come to worship and to serve with precious gifts. Wherefore, O Thou who wast incarnate for our sakes, glory to Thee. Sixth Hour Psalms: Psalm 71 (prophesy of the Messiah; includes Magi/Kings), Psalm 131 (Messianic; also points to nations), Psalm 90 (usual Psalm). Prokimen: Psalm 109:4,1. From the womb before the morning star I bore Thee. Said the Lord to my Lord: Sit Thou on My right hand, until I make Thine enemies Thy footstool.   Readings.  Isaiah 7:10-16; 8:1-4, 9-10 (Virgin birth; God is with us!).  Hebrews 1:10-2:3 (Christ is greater than the angels). St. Matthew 2:1-12 (Narrative: wise men) A Hymn:  Listen, O heaven, and give ear, O earth. Let the foundations shake, and let trembling fall on all below the earth; for God hath dwelt in a creation of flesh; and He Who made creation with a precious hand is seen in the womb of a created one. O the depth of the riches and wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments, and His ways past finding out. Ninth Hour Psalms: Psalm 109 (Messianic; see above), Psalm 110 (a hymn of joyous praise), Psalm 85 (usual Psalm) Prokimen:  Psalm 86:4-5.  And of the mother Zion, it shall be said, this and that man is born in her and the Highest Himself hath founded her. His foundations are in the holy mountains. Readings:  Isaiah 9:6-7 (for unto us a child is born!), Hebrews 2:11-18 (Christ became a man), St. Matthew 2:13-23 (go to Egypt!) A Hymn.  Verily, Herod was overtaken by astonishment when he saw the piety of the Magi. And having been overridden with wrath, he began to inquire of them about the time. He robbed the mothers of their children and ruthlessly reaped the tender bodies of the babes. And the breasts dried up, and the springs of milk failed. Great then was the calamity. Wherefore, being gathered, O believers, in true worship, let us adore the Nativity of Christ. But wait there is more! Jewish Expectations/Prophecies of the Messiah The Messiah would be the “seed of a woman” come to destroy the work of the Devil. Not long after Creation, God prophesied to the serpent Satan, “And I will put enmity between you and the woman, And between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, And you shall bruise His heel” (Genesis 3:15). The implication was that Eve's descendant would undo the damage that Satan had caused.  Huge impact on the Jewish mind and imagination. (1 John 3:8). (Also see: Hebrews 2:14; Revelation 20:10.) A prophet like unto Moses. This was prophesied by Moses, himself: “The LORD your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from your midst, from your brethren. Him you shall hear, according to all you desired of the LORD your God in Horeb in the day of the assembly, saying, ‘Let me not hear again the voice of the LORD my God, nor let me see this great fire anymore, lest I die.' And the LORD said to me: ‘What they have spoken is good. I will raise up for them a Prophet like you from among their brethren, and will put My words in His mouth, and He shall speak to them all that I command Him. And it shall be that whoever will not hear My words, which He speaks in My name, I will require it of him'.” (Deuteronomy 18:15-19, NKJV). Like Moses, the Messiah would be a leader, a prophet, a lawgiver, a deliverer, a teacher, a priest, an anointed one, a mediator, a human and one of God's chosen people (a Jew) performing the role of intermediary between God and man—speaking the words of God. Both Moses and Jesus performed many miracles validating their message. As infants, both their lives were threatened by evil kings, and both were supernaturally protected from harm. Both spent their early years in Egypt. Both taught new truths from God. Both cured lepers (Num 12:10-15; Matt. 8:2-3) and confronted demonic powers. Both were initially doubted in their roles by their siblings. Moses lifted up the brazen serpent to heal all his people who had faith; Jesus was lifted up on the cross to heal all who would have faith in Him. Moses appointed 70 elders to rule Israel (Num. 11:16-17); Jesus appointed 70 disciples to teach the nations (Luke 10:1, 17). And there are many other parallels between the lives of Moses and Jesus. The Messiah would be a descendant of Noah's son, Shem. Noah said, “Blessed be the LORD God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant. God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant (Gen. 9:26-27). Chapter 10 goes on list descendants of Shem, noting that he was ancestor of Eber (Heber: Luke 3:35), the founder of the Hebrew race.  Noah associated Shem especially with the worship of God, recognizing the dominantly spiritual motivations of Shem and thus implying that God's promised Deliverer would ultimately come from Shem. The Semitic nations have included the Hebrews, Arabs, Assyrians, Persians, Syrians and other strongly religious-minded peoples. More specifically, he would come from a descendant of Shem named Abraham ( Genesis 22:18; 12; 17; 22). Fulfilled: See Christ's genealogy in Matthew 1. More specifically, he would be a descendant of Abraham's son, Isaac, not Ishmael (Gen. 17; 21). Fulfilled: See Christ's genealogy in Matthew 1. More specifically, he would be a descendant of Isaac's son, Jacob, not Esau (Gen. 28; 35:10-12; Num. 24:17). Fulfilled: See Christ's genealogy in Matthew 1. More specifically, he would be a descendant of Judah, not of the other eleven brothers of Jacob. Fulfilled: See Christ's genealogy in Matthew 1. More specifically, he would be a descendant of the family of Jesse in the tribe of Judah (Isaiah 11:1-5). Fulfilled: See Christ's genealogy in Matthew 1 and Luke 3:23-38. More specifically, he would be of the house of David (2 Samuel 7:12-16; Jeremiah 23:5; Psalm 89:3-4). Fulfilled: See Christ's genealogy in Matthew 1; Luke 1:27, 32, 69. Note: Since the Jewish genealogical records were destroyed in 70 A.D., along with the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple, it would not be possible for a Messiah imposter who was born later to prove his lineage back to David and thus fulfill this prophecy. He will be born in a small city called Bethlehem, specifically the one formerly known as Ephratah (Micah 5:2 – 1H). Fulfilled: Luke 2:4-20. Note: Christ's birth in Bethlehem was apparently not by the choice of Mary and Joseph; it was forced upon them by Caesar Augustus' taxation decree which required Joseph to leave his home in the city of Nazareth and return to his place of origin to pay the tax. He will be born of a virgin (Isaiah 7:14- 6H). Fulfilled: Matthew 1; Luke 1. He will be a priest after the order of Melchisedek (Melchisedec) (Psalm 110:4). Fulfilled: Hebrews 5:6 The scepter shall not pass from the tribe of Judah until the Messiah comes. In other words, He will come before Israel loses its right to judge her own people. The patriarch Jacob prophesied this: The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be. (Genesis 49:10) According to the Jewish historian Josephus, the Sanhedrin of Israel lost the right to truly judge its own people when it lost the right to pass death penalties in 11 A.D. (Josephus, Antiquities, Book 17, Chapter 13). Jesus Christ was certainly born before 11 A.D. He will come while the Temple of Jerusalem is standing ( Malachi 3:1; Psalm 118:26; Daniel 9:26; Zechariah 11:13; Haggai 2:7-9). Fulfilled: Matthew 21:12, etc. (Note: The Temple did not exist at certain periods in Jewish history, and it was finally destroyed in 70 A.D.) A worldly ruler.  Since the fall of the Davidic kingly dynasty, the expectation was that the Messiah would restore that dynasty so that he would rule as the human “son of God”. (Isaiah 9:6-7 – 9H) He will be divine; the Son of Man. (Daniel 7:13; Isaiah 7:14- C) He would be the revelation of God; God with us. (Baruch 4:4 – 3H; Isaiah 8:9)

The Fourth Sunday after the Epiphany   Text: Matthew 5:1-12   Theme: "Blessed Are Who?"   Readings: Micah 6:1-8, 1 Corinthians 1:18-31, Matthew 5:1-12   Rev. Daniel Redhage   Trinity Lutheran Church   The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod   Lowden, Iowa

Readings:Micah 6:1-8Matthew 5:1-12Sermon NotesThe worlds vision of the good life: OurJesus' vision of the good life:Independence to DependenceJesus paints the picture of the good life as a life of dependence. Dependence, not in general, but upon Jesus.To InterdependenceInterdependence is a life where you dependent on others and others are dependent on you.Jesus points to the good life as a life full of meaning. He does not point us toward an easy life, but it is a good life.A good life is a life full of Interdependent relationships.

Readings:Micah 5:2-5aLuke 1:39-55Sermon NotesWhy did Mary sing?Despite Mary's lack of comprehension, she says yes to God's invitation to her. She is surrendering to the mystery of God.Mary is willing to say yes to God, knowing how much this consent will cost her.Sometimes, like Mary, the best we can do is say yes, without knowing how God will work things out, and without having joy in God's plan. This is not where we want to be, and this is not where God wants us to be.The angel Gabriel prompts Mary to vist her cousin Elizabeth.When Elizabeth sees Mary, she does two things:Elizabeth shows Mary reverence.Elizabeth shows Mary honor.Only when Elizabeth confirms the angel's message to Mary, does Mary breakout into a song of hope. Without Elizabeth there would be no Magnificat.Mary got the angel but she also needed was Elizabeth to confirm and strengthen her.We need people alongside us if we want to hear God's voice.In the last six years, there has been a 50% decrease in the amount of time Americans spend with each other. Most people are lonely.Our faith is more than our horizontal relationships with each other but it is not less.What Did Mary Sing?Mary begins her song by singing about her uniqueness and similarity.Mary sings about the transformation at the core of her being.She spends most of her song singing about the work of the Lord.When God comes, things shake. They do not stay the same.The poor and humble will rejoice at the coming of God. But the arrogant, smug, and proud will be scattered.

Msgr. Michael McCarron's Homily for the 4th Sunday of Advent, Readings: Micah 5:1-4a, Psalm 80, Hebrews 10:5-10, Luke 1:39-45 Intro/Outro music from "Together We Can" from www.epidemicsound.com

19 December 2021 - Fourth Sunday of Advent - The life of the mother of Jesus has been ignored in many Christian traditions. Yet Mary's extraordinary trust and obedience should be an inspiration for us today. It is posited that she was Jesus' first disciple and -- in contradiction to the pop song -- she really does show us wisdom. Perhaps her most important contribution was to give an example for her son Jesus, who like his mother, was called upon to say “Yes” to the will of God.

Readings: Micah 5:1–4 Psalm 80:2–3, 15–16, 18–19 Hebrews 5:5–10 Luke 1:39–45 On this last Sunday before Christmas, the Church's Liturgy reveals the true identity of our Redeemer: He is, as today's First Reading says, the “ruler . . . whose origin is from . . . ancient times.” He will come from Bethlehem, where David was born of Jesse the Ephrathite and anointed king (see Ruth 4:11–17; 1 Samuel 16:1–13; 17:1; Matthew 2:6). God promised that an heir of David would reign on his throne forever (see 2 Samuel 7:12–13; Psalm 89; Psalm 132:11–12). Jesus is that heir, the One the prophets promised would restore the scattered tribes of Israel into a new kingdom (see Isaiah 9:5–6; Ezekiel 34:23–25, 30; 37:35). He is “the shepherd of Israel” sung of in today's Psalm. From His throne in heaven, He has “come to save us.” Today's Epistle tells us that He is both the Son of David and the only “begotten” Son of God, come “in the flesh” (see also Psalm 2:7). He is also our “high priest,” from the mold of the mysterious Melchizedek, “priest of God Most High,” who blessed Abraham at the dawn of salvation history (see Psalm 110:4; Genesis 14:18–20). All this is recognized by John when he leaps for joy in his mother's womb. Elizabeth, too, is filled with joy and the Holy Spirit. She recognizes that in Mary “the mother of my Lord” has come to her. We hear in her words another echo of the Psalm quoted in today's Epistle (see Psalm 2:7). Elizabeth blesses Mary for her faith that God's Word would be fulfilled in her. Mary marks the fulfillment not only of the angel's promise to her, but of all God's promises down through history. Mary is the one they await in today's First Reading—“she who is to give birth.” She will give birth this week, at Christmas. And the fruit of her womb should bring us joy—she is the mother of our Lord.

Readings: Micah 6:6-8 and Matthew 25:37-40 Pastor Rob's sermon on Sunday, May 9, 2021. All are welcome to attend worship on Sundays at 8:30 and 10:00 AM.

“There are powers beyond our comprehension and manipulation. Powers that meet us in our moments of greatest vulnerability. Powers that we are facing this morning as we bid farewell to George and begin to face a life without his presence here on earth.  There are powers beyond our comprehension and manipulation … and our response to those powers is to try to trust in them, to be humbled by them and … to bare our hearts and souls to them – crying out that which is our deepest pain and desire. Not because we believe God and these powers can be lobbied … but because we are trying to trust that whatever happens, the God who was in the beginning is with us still.   Because we are trying to trust that, whatever happens, the love that is God is the most powerful force for healing in the universe. Because we are trying to trust that, whatever happens, even death cannot separate us from one another because are always joined together under that infinite canopy of stars, sheltered in the hollow of God’s hand.” Sermon by Mike Kinman from the virtual worship at All Saints Church, Pasadena, at 11:15 a.m. on Healing Sunday, January 3, 2021.

25 October 2020 - The severe critique that Jesus unleashes on the Pharisees in Matthew 23 is often seen out of context, says Rev. David Pileggi. Jesus himself was close to world of the Pharisees, following many of their customs. (He was an itinerant teacher, raised up disciples, was obedient to Torah, believed in eternal life, and more.) We forget, or may not realize, that this discourse was an internal Jewish debate, and we should view his criticism in that light and not weaponize his words against the Jewish people. Instead, we should take His words as a warning and ask ourselves how we (as religious people) may be guilty of the same offenses or hypocrisy.

"There is a gift when things are so broken we can no longer pretend they are whole, because then we can admit they have been broken for a long time. Then we can admit that we have been broken for a long time. There is a gift to knowing we are broken because then we can begin to heal. Do not fear the cracks in our nation, the cracks in our church, the cracks in ourselves. That's how the light gets in."

How do we humble ourselves before God? Is it all just mental and spiritual, or are there some physical elements to this humility? It reaches much farther than we typically think or act. Readings: Micah 7:18-20; 1 Peter 5:6-11; Luke 15:1-32

29 Jan 2017 - Rev. David Pileggi continues the subject of healing and asks the questions; Who are these words for? How are they applied? Are they really doable? He looks in detail at the Kingdom of Heaven and the message of Discipleship, suggesting that it is in the people who have made Jesus King, that He rules and reigns. He goes on to say that we enter the Kingdom by repentance and stay there by being broken and poor in spirit; God’s original intention, from the beginning, is to bring us into blessings.
