May 1 – Third Sunday of Easter

The Divine Service for the Third Sunday of Easter (May 1, 2022)

“Worthy Is the Lamb!” – Revelation 5:8-14

Who is worthy of our worship and praise? The Lamb of God is! Though He was slain for the sins of the world, He now lives triumphant and receives heavenly worship. Yet He still comes among us even though we are unworthy sinners. His sacrifice allows us to be declared worthy of God’s love and mercy. Therefore, we can join the saints and angels in their heavenly worship as join in singing “Worthy is the Lamb!”

April 24 – Second Sunday of Easter

The Divine Service for the Second Sunday of Easter (April 24, 2022)

“The Keys to Heaven and Hell” – John 20:19-31

Jesus gives the disciples the Keys to the Kingdom. The authority to forgive or retain sins. The Church still has this blessed gift and authority and responsibility. It can be an intimidating thing to say to someone, “I forgive you”, but by God’s grace, we can and do. Thankfully, Jesus has kept another set of keys for Himself – the keys to Death and Hades (Hell). Since He has conquered the devil with His cross and resurrection, we can go as Jesus sends us to announce the grace of God in Christ and the forgiveness of all sins. Jesus has freed us all!

April 17 – Easter Sunday

The Divine Service for the Feast of the Resurrection of Our Lord – April 17, 2022

“My Bones Don’t Belong Here” – Joshua 24:29-33, Luke 24:1-12

Where will you be buried? For some that question is easy, for others it is an unanswered question. Joseph lived in a foreign land most of his life, but did not want to be buried in Egypt. He commanded the family before his death, “My bones don’t belong here in Egypt. They belong in the Promised Land!” And just as Jesus’ bones did not belong in His grave, neither do the believers’ bones belong in theirs. For in Christ, we shall arise to glory and leave our graves empty! We know this because Christ is risen! He is risen, indeed! Alleluia!

April 10 – Palm Sunday

The Divine Service for Palm Sunday (April 10, 2022)

“Hosanna! Save Us Now!” – John 12:12-19

Palm Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week where Jesus rides in to Jerusalem in joy only to leave it carrying His cross on Friday. This is all in fulfillment of God’s promise to send a savior. But what kind of savior is He? What deliverance to you desire from Him? Jesus knows our root problem is sin. Sin warps every aspect of our lives. Only through the clear testimony of the Scriptures can we see this. Only by faith can we rightly say and sing our “Hosanna’s” to the Lord. For He is the one who comes in the name of the Lord to save us now!

April 3 – Fifth Sunday in Lent

The Divine Service for the Fifth Sunday in Lent (April 3, 2022)

“The Cornerstone Will Get You” – Luke 20:9-20

A fragile piece of pottery will break if dropped on a rock. It can be really shattered if a big rock is dropped on it. Either way, the rock wins, the pottery loses. As sinners we must confront the fact that God is holy and we are not. We can fall on the rock that was rejected (Jesus), which is to repent and seek forgiveness. Or, we can also reject the rock and find ourselves crushed by it on the day of judgment. Better to fall on Jesus and let Him put you back together through His suffering, death, and resurrection!
