April 22, 2025Today's Reading: Luke 24:36-49Daily Lectionary: Exodus 15:19-16:12; Hebrews 10:1-18“See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself. Touch me, and see. For a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have.” (Luke 24:39)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.He is Risen! He is Risen, Indeed! Alleluia! Amen. In the Third Article of the Apostle's Creed, we confess that we believe in the resurrection of the dead. It is a confession that has deep implications in our lives as children of God. When we confess the resurrection of the dead, we are saying that death is conquered. We are saying that in our bodies, in our flesh, we will come from the dead. We will not be spirits, we will not be ghosts, we will not be angels— we will be human beings in the flesh.In the resurrection of Christ, we are given what will happen to us in the resurrection. The language of the narratives from the Gospels give witness to what the disciples and followers of Jesus saw after His resurrection. They saw Jesus. They heard Jesus. They touched Jesus. Yes, touched Jesus. He was not a ghost or some anomaly from the proverbial spirit world. He was fully human. He was alive and breathing, eating and drinking as humans do every day. He completely rose from the dead.Oftentimes, we hear about life everlasting in some existential context. Life everlasting is taught as something that is “way out there.” We cannot grasp it, so it is taught like fairytales and make-believe stories. Life everlasting becomes supernatural, where the dead end up as ghosts or angels. We are to believe that eternal life is really an experience in nirvana, where we do not have bodies and that we become one with the universe. All of these false teachings take us away from the Scriptures and what we confess in our creeds. We believe, teach, confess, and practice that on the Last Day, we will rise from the dead in our flesh. We will be able to see, taste, touch, smell, and hear. We will walk again upon a restored earth. No longer will there be death. In Christ's resurrection is our resurrection.In Christ's resurrection is your resurrection. Death is conquered. Death is destroyed. Right now, you have eternal life. Jesus invites His followers to touch Him after the resurrection. He is in the flesh, resurrected from the dead. When you confess, “I believe in the resurrection of the dead.” you confess that you will rise from the dead as Christ rose from the dead. In the flesh. He is Risen! He is Risen, Indeed! Alleluia! Amen.In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.Almighty God, through the resurrection of Your Son You have secured peace for our troubled consciences. Grant us this peace evermore that trusting in the merit of Your Son we may come at last to the perfect peace of heaven; through the same Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.

Jones identifies ten lies Satan uses in attempts to dismantle God's people and His kingdom. Find encouragement in God's Word of Truth and remember the final victory we have in our Savior, Jesus Christ.

Martin Luther said in the preface to his Large Catechism:“Besides, nothing is more effectual against the devil, the world and the flesh and all evil thoughts than to be occupied with the Word of God, and to speak thereof, and meditate upon it; so that the first Psalm declares those blessed who meditate upon the law of God day and night. Undoubtedly, you will never offer any incense or other savor against Satan more efficacious than employment upon God's commandments and words, and speaking, singing, or thinking thereof. For this is indeed the truly holy water and holy sign from which he flees, and by which he is driven away. ”Join us in warding off the devil's temptations and growing in knowledge and appreciation of the truth of God and his love for sinners. We'll review these simple truths from the Scriptures and apply them into our lives as followers of Christ.  Grab your copy of Luther's Large Catechism in a stand alone paperback like the one found here. A version of Luther's Large Catechism with supplemental essays and further reading can be found here.  Luther's Large Catechism is included in the Book of Concord.  Grab your copy off the shelf or get your own copy here.  We hope you can join us to read through Luther's Large Catechism or at least listen in on the discussion.

January 21, 2025 Today's Reading: 1 Corinthians 12:1-11Daily Lectionary: Joel 1:1-20; Romans 10:1-21“Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord; and there are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who empowers them all in every one.” (1 Corinthians 12:4-6)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. Paul is laying out for the Corinthians a whole long list of spiritual Gifts. Right after this section, He uses the example of a body and how there are many different members that make up the whole. None is more important than another. None is greater or worse. It is in that way, then, that he explains that the Gifts they might hold mean nothing for the individual.We don't see the types of spiritual Gifts that Paul is talking about much in the Church anymore. They seem to have died out within the first couple of centuries, which is all fine and good. They were given in order to move forward, jump start if you will, the early Church, and the proclamation of the Gospel throughout the world… But that doesn't mean that this section of Scripture still isn't important for us. For what Paul says about spiritual Gifts holds true for the Gifts that you and I have been given by our Heavenly Father as well. And these Gifts which we have been given, some of which I have that you lack, some of which you have that I don't, are to be used for the good of the whole Body of Christ, for the good of your neighbor.It is a selfless way of thinking, then, that can only be taught to us by our Head, by Christ. In the same way in which He selflessly loved His neighbor, we, too, are called to love our neighbors as ourselves. Christ gives us Gifts so that we can be a blessing to others. The Gifts we have do not make us greater in the sight of God but instead have been given so that where our neighbor lacks, we can be of service and fill him up.This is the way of the Church. This is what it means to be the Body of Christ: First, we receive all that is good from our God above (First Article gifts Creation; Second Article gifts of Redemption; Third Article gifts of Sanctification, of being made holy as we receive in time and place the forgiveness of sins, life, and salvation), then, through Him, because Christ first loved us, we lovingly do good for our neighbor.In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.Holy Spirit, the wind of great power, Source of strength and of peace and of love, Truest Comforter, plead, As You bring all our need To the throne of God's glory above. Be the light that enlightens the Scriptures; Keep our feet from each devilish snare; Only You can make whole All that troubles our soul; By Your chrism Christ's triumph we share. (LSB 502:4)-Rev. Eli Lietzau, pastor of Wheat Ridge Evangelical Lutheran Church in Wheat Ridge, CO.Audio Reflections Speaker: Pastor Jonathan Lackey is the pastor at Grace Lutheran Church, Vine Grove, KY.What makes a church "good?"

Devotion - Apostles' Creed - The Third Article of the Creeed by Community Lutheran Church

Introduction We continue our Sermon Series this Morning on the Third Article of the Creed: The Holy Spirit and His Work in and among the Church, the Body of Christ, the People of God. Now some of you have asked “Why this series?” Is it simply a defense of confessing creeds—well, no. The reason Neil and…

October 16, 2024Today's Reading: Matthew 13:24-43Daily Lectionary: Deuteronomy 14:1-2, 22-23, 14:28-15:15; Matthew 13:24-43‘Then do you want us to go and gather them?'But he said, ‘No, lest in gathering the weeds you root up the wheat along with them. (Matthew 13:28b-29)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. A few verses before our text for today, the disciples ask Jesus, “Why do You speak to them in parables?” (Matthew 13:10)  “Seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.” (Matthew 13:13) Jesus doesn't speak in parables to confuse anyone; sin has accomplished this since the Fall. Neither does Jesus speak because the disciples or we Christians are better informed or more deserving of what Jesus gives… Jesus speaks openly and plainly because He is life and truth and also because it's the Holy Spirit that gives faith, brings people into the church, and keeps us in the church, as the explanation to the Third Article of the Apostles' Creed states.Jesus explains the parable in Matthew 13, and what He explains is what you and I see every day. That mixed up and growing together in this world are sinners and saints… people who you can tell the difference between. But Jesus would have us know that the one sowing the seeds of dissension, the Devil, is sowing seeds of sin, hatred, doubt, and temptation that grow up in us, too. Thankfully, then, Jesus doesn't say that we should scrap the whole mess and start over again with better material, hoping for a better result. Christianity isn't first and foremost about sinning less… Christianity is about Jesus, who buys back sinners with His precious blood and innocent suffering and death. Jesus would have us see that the seeds of doubt, despair, and dissension are eradicated not by tearing them out, ripping them up by the roots, and throwing them into a burn pile. Our Lord lovingly provides stern law… law that reveals the weeds and thistles that choke out faith in us… He provides pure sweet gospel by His church and His pastors to hear those sins confessed. From the mouth of the pastor, those sins are put to death. In the ears of the man who hears your confession and from the mouth of the pastor as from God Himself, the words of life and forgiveness are given freely to us.The good seed, Christ Himself, has planted Himself in us. It is His word watered by Baptism and fed with bread and wine that is Body and Blood that gives life and sustains us in this fallen world. Life this side of heaven is fraught with sin and great temptation. Thanks be to God for Christ, our Lord, who has won salvation and bestowed that victory to us in His church. In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.O God, You justify the ungodly and desire not the death of a sinner. Graciously assist us by Your heavenly aid and evermore shield us with Your protection, that no temptation may separate us from Your love in Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.-Rev. Adam DeGroot, pastor of Calvary Lutheran Church in Rio Rancho, NM.Audio Reflections Speaker: Pastor Jonathan Lackey is the pastor at Grace Lutheran Church, Vine Grove, KY.In Embracing Your Lutheran Identity, Author Gene Edward Veith Jr. will guide readers through that heritage, starting with the Early Church and moving through the Reformation to Lutheranism today. Readers will learn about key people in the history of Lutheranism, from two teenagers who were the first martyrs of the Reformation, through the Saxon immigrants who left everything behind so they could practice Lutheranism freely, to the Lutherans who have stood strong for the faith in our own day.

August 10, 2024 Today's Reading: Introit for Pentecost 12 - Psalm 34:8-10; antiphon: Psalm 145:16Daily Lectionary: 1 Samuel 25:23-44; 1 Corinthians 4:1-21Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good! Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him! (Introit for Pentecost 12; Psalm 34:8)In the Name + of Jesus. Amen. Many of our readings this past week revolved around the theme of eating. God gave the Israelites manna in the wilderness. In our last Catechism reading concerning bodily eating and drinking in the Sacrament, Dr. Luther invited us to rejoice in the words of Jesus: “Given and shed for you for the forgiveness of sins.” Even yesterday's reading from 1 Corinthians 3 concerning the ministry began with Paul's concern that the Corinthians get solid spiritual nourishment. Last Sunday's Gospel ended with the people's intrigue over Jesus' words about the bread of heaven that gives life to the world and the people's desire to know more (John 6:34). Jesus will flesh that out more in tomorrow's Gospel reading.Tomorrow's Introit follows suit, reminding us that the Lord sees to our needs. You have a God who provides for you and takes care of you. It's just as we confess in Luther's explanation of the First Article of the Creed, “He richly and daily provides me all that I need to support this body and life.” In the explanation to the Third Article, we confess that in the Christian Church, God the Holy Spirit “daily and richly forgives all my sins and the sins of all believers.” Your God provides now and for eternity.The Psalmist graciously invites you to “taste” this delightful truth. David prayed this when God had delivered him at a time when he was on the run from Saul, shortly after David and his men were given the Bread of Presence to satisfy their hunger (1 Samuel 21). The Psalm is not some guarantee of earthly prosperity. It's a word of witness and encouragement of one individual from the great cloud of witnesses that surrounds us as we run the race looking to Jesus (Hebrews 12:1). David was running the race, trusting God's promise, His presence and protection for refuge in the midst of real danger.You come to the Divine Service for refuge in the Lord. You bring your sins and all of your scars from running the race with endurance. Taste and see that the Lord is good! Taste the sweet Absolution that declares you forgiven by the One who suffered, died, and rose for you. Taste His body on your tongue and His blood on your lips, and know with absolute certainty that the Lord is good. Blessed are you as you take refuge in Him. In the Name + of Jesus. Amen.That this forever true shall be He gives a solemn guarantee: In this His holy Supper here We taste His love so sweet, so near. (LSB 634:3)-Rev. Joel Fritsche, director of Vicarage and Deaconess Internships and assistant professor of Exegetical Theology at Concordia Seminary, St. LouisAudio Reflections Speaker: Pastor Jonathan Lackey is the pastor at Grace Lutheran Church, Vine Grove, Ky.The Lutheran Confessions play a vital role in the church—both centuries ago, and today. But, do they apply to the daily life of a layperson? Pastor Andy Wright offers a resounding “yes” in his book, Faithfully Formed. He quotes, summarizes, and synthesizes key teachings from the Confessions, revealing their relevance in the daily lives of ordinary people.

Pastor Brock Cain and I discuss the last portion of the Third Article of the Apostles' Creed and "the resurrection of the body and the life everlasting." We talk a lot about death, grief, the true hope of the Christian, as well as just how much God loves our bodies and how we should too.

Join me as I sit down with Pastor Brock Cain from Lutheran Church of the Pines to discuss the Third Article of the Apostles' Creed, focused on the Holy Spirit. In this episode we focus on the Church and it's role in our lives. There's a lot of harsh realities that have shaped how many view the Church and the local congregation. We try to address them all head on. Join us and let us know what you think!

However, he shows his saving grace by granting salvation to those who place their faith in Christ. (Psalms 65:5–13; 145:8–9; Acts 14:15–17; Romans 5:1–11) We will conclude today with The Collect for The Second to Last Sunday of Epiphany found on page 604 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).

A Complete Catechism of the Catholic Religion by Father Joseph Deharbe, S.J. was originally written in German, was very popular in the 19th century, and was translated into English. Bishop Donald Sanborn finds the Deharbe Catechism to be the most complete to convert and instruct people in the Catholic Faith. Join Bishop Donald Sanborn and host Stephen Heiner on this episode of This is Catholicism. Part I On Faith (continued) Chapter II. Chief Truths of Faith (continued) The Third Article. 'Who was conceived of the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary.' 1. What does the Third Article of the Creed teach us? 2. What do we call this Mystery? 3. What is, then, our belief concerning Jesus Christ, when we believe the Mystery of the Incarnation? 4. What do we mean by saying Jesus Christ is also true man? 5. How many natures, then, are there in Jesus Christ? 6. Are there also in Jesus Christ two wills distinct from one another? 7. Are there also two persons in Jesus Christ? 8. Why is the Incarnation of the Son of God attributed to the operation of the Holy Ghost? 9. From whom did the Son of God take His human nature? 10. Why is Mary called ‘the purest of Virgins'? 11. Why is Mary called ‘Mother of God,' since Christ took only His ‘human' nature from her? 12. Do we believe that, therefore, Mary is equal to God? 13. Had Jesus Christ also an earthly father? 14. Why did the Son of God become man? 15. What virtues does Jesus teach us by His example? 16. What example does Jesus give in particular to young people? 17.
