The Divine Service for the Fourteenth Sunday after Pentecost (August 29, 2021). God’s Word is simple instructions for life. The problem is that as sinners, we do not always listen, or do, or keep, or teach those instructions because we fail to understand them by God’s grace. But God Word also points us to the fulfillment of the Law in Christ Jesus who did keep God’s simple instructions in order to give us life!

The Service for the Thirteenth Sunday after Pentecost (August 22, 2021)

What traditions do you have? Some families and institutions are defined by their long-held traditions of eating, gathering, and celebrating. Tradition is good unless it becomes more important than God’s Word. Jesus confronts the traditions of men that have no place in the life of the Christian. But He does not leave us without hope. For in Him, we find a tradition to live by as we gather as God’s people have for generations around Word and Sacrament.

Are you disturbed that Jesus says you must eat of his flesh and drink of his blood to have life in you? This is offensive to the sinner, but shear grace for the believer. Have some faith in Jesus as the one who endured the scandal of the cross for your forgiveness and salvation. That’s living bread for a living faith in this world that is preparing for eternal life in heaven!

The Divine Service for the Eleventh Sunday after Pentecost (August 8, 2021). Jesus continues to unpack what it means that He is the bread of life. He demands that we believe in Him, but He does not leave even faith to us. The Father calls and gathers us through the working of the Holy Spirit to give us bread for belief. This is the good bread that leads us to Jesus for forgiveness and eternal life!
