   Easter Wednesday ’12 – Colossians 3:1-7; John 21:1-14

   “For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.” How is our life hidden with Christ? What does this mean for our daily life? What about Jesus’ abiding presence, namely, His glory? Can we expect to see His glory now or later and how?

   Easter Tuesday ’12 – Luke 24:36-48

   10. April 2012 Easter Tuesday Luke 24:36-48 Peace is an elusive thing. True peace, that is. Some people find peace in the bottle. Some find peace only in death. Others find peace by a babbling brook or under the cool shade of the willow tree. Peace. That is, until the bottle runs dry, or its […]

   Easter Monday ’12 – Acts 10:34-41; Luke 24:13-35

   Acts 10:34-41; Luke 24:13-35 “God raised Him on the third day!” When St. Peter is preaching in house of Cornelius, the centurion, he now knows that the Gospel is for all who would believe, Jew and Gentile alike. Yet, even when preaching to the Gentile, he preaches the cross from the prophets to...

   Easter Dawn ’12 – John 20:1-18

   Resurrection. Much depends on the resurrection both for the present and into eternity. Not only is it useful and good but also to God’s praise and glory. Therefore we should pay attention, listen, and thank God for His Son’s glorious resurrection. There can never be too much of this good thing....

   Good Friday Tenebrae ’12 – John 18:1—19:42

   “What is truth?” Pontius Pilate is our kind of pagan. He is a honest seeker of the truth. The problem is that Jesus works differently. He reveals the truth, blesses us with the truth. It is not obvious. It is not of this world. It is revealed, spoken, and accomplished. We hear the witness and […]

   Good Friday Hauptgottesdienst ’12 – John 18:1—19:42

   Why do we commemorate Good Friday when it is so familiar to us? Why consider the Passion of Christ when it is confessed each Lord’s day: “He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried?” We are not reliving the moments, being transported in a “where you there?” sense. No…

   Holy Thursday ’12 – John 13:1-15 [34-35]

   Holy Thursday. Is it about foot washing? Is it about the Lord’s Supper? Yes. It is about Jesus serving you. Divine Service. Loving His own even unto the end. “Do you understand what I have done to you?” No, Peter, Judas, and the rest did not. But after these things, namely after His death and […]

    Palmarum ’12 – The Passion according to St. Matthew

    The contrast of our Lord’s triumphant entry on Palm Sunday with the rest of His Passion is stark. At each turn the good confession that Christ is Lord, the Son of the Living God, is forsaken, ignored, or blasphemed. Finally, only the women through their presence at a distance and the Centurion...

    Old Testament: Gen. 22:1-14 Epistle:Heb. 9:11-15 Holy Gospel:John 8:46-59 Summary: Jesus tells us that whoever hears the Word of God is of God. Those who refuse to hear are not of God.

    Oculi ’12 – Luke 11:14-28

    Summary: The Word of God always works to drive out the devil. This Word exorcised you from Satan’s grasp at your baptism. This Word keeps casting him out in the forgiveness of sins. The Word of the Lord’s Supper fights the battle again, driving him away. The believer receives this great gift with...

    Lenten Catechesis II 2012 – The Creed

    Summary: Last week we learned what God expects of us and what we are not to do. We learned how these commands remain God’s perfect and pure will, despite being far above our ability as weak people to accomplish. This week, we learn from the Creed not just who God is but how He equips […]

    Invocavit ’12 – Matthew 4:1-11

    Jesus was led into the wilderness to be tempted for you. By his confrontation, we learn where temptation comes from and what temptation seeks to do. Knowing this, we take the weapons of the faith in hand, knowing our enemy’s strategy, and fully equipped to deflect and defend every attack. It is...

    Quinquagesima ’12 – Luke 18:31-43

    St. Paul’s second epistle to Corinth confesses with great boldness how our God loves us. He is patient and kind. He does not boast or envy. He suffers all and endures all. Knowing this love is difficult. Our lives rarely reflect the perfect love of our God. We must hear and learn it again. Thus, […]

    Sexagesima ’12 – Luke 8:4-15

    Jesus speaking in parables usually does not bring clarity to the doubter, for “seeing they may not see, and hearing they may not understand.” To the unbeliever, it appears His Holy Word is weak, subject to birds of the air, weakly rooting into rocks, and easily strangled by the thorns of this…

    Septuagesima ’12 – Matthew 20:1-16

    While we might be tempted to think of our heavenly Father as a shrewd businessman, today’s parable paints a totally different picture. He is a generous landowner, who invites all sorts into his harvest field and rewards them all equally and bountifully. Therein we learn that our God is gracious,...
