This Sunday we consider the image of God as both our shepherd as well as Paschal Lamb. God meets us in the midst of our suffering to claim victory over death, offering a new way of living through "Lamb Power."Rev. Zachary D. Wagner

Easter SundayRev. Bryan Wolfmueller

Even in resurrection, Jesus chooses to draw close and reveal himself to the disciples through a shared meal, this time a seaside breakfast. Breakfast is indeed the most important meal of the day, as the disciples are nourished and sent.Rev. Zachary D. Wagner

The same love that moved through Jesus Christ’s life, death, and resurrection, moved through walls and locked doors, transforming the disciples into apostles, and it is the same love that will help us move through our fear too.Vicar Nicholas Breining

[Machine transcription] Christ is risen. He is risen indeed. Hallelujah. And dear saints, that’s a good thing for us. Because if Christ were not risen from the dead, our faith would be in vain. If Christ were not risen from the dead, we would have no hope beyond the veil of death. If Christ were not risen from the dead, we of all people are the mos…

Easter is about starting over with a new way of living. Sometimes we cling to the past, but change is a vital and essential aspect of experiencing life to the fullest. This is certainly true when it comes to living a resurrected life.Rev. Zachary D. Wagner

[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus. Amen. The gospel text from Matthew printed in your bulletin is the text for Holy Saturday. That text from John 20 is the text for the Easter vigil. And it’s quite fitting that we, in fact, would think about both of them because we’re right on the cusp of this most momentous occasion. When the sun goes d…

Easter VigilRev. Bryan Wolfmueller

[Machine transcription] In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. On this most holy day, we see our Passover lamb led to the slaughter. So let us join Peter and the other disciple and follow the Lamb of God, set apart for this most holy sacrifice. He was oppressed and he was afflicted. He was cut off from the land of the livi…

Good FridayVicar David Krueger

In the thick of religious and political conspiracy and reactionary outcry among the crowd, Jesus remains steady amid all that unfolds, an orienting Divine force among the lies, chaos, and misbegotten perceptions of power and control.Vicar Nicholas Breining

[Machine transcription] In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. On this night, almost 2,000 years ago, our Lord Jesus Christ gave His Church the sacrament of His Holy Supper. This gift that the Lord wants us to receive in faith believing in the words that he said to his disciples the very night. And about this gift, t…

Maundy ThursdayRev. Ross Davis

We celebrate Jesus' feast with his disciples, witnessing God's love in all forms. Love is at the heart of the meal we share this evening. We expand our love languages and care for each other as God's beloved community.Rev. Zachary D. Wagner

Jesus entered Jerusalem lowly and riding on a donkey, as the type of king who is righteous and victorious, fulfilling God’s promises, by way of humility over boastfulness, service over domination, peacefulness over war, forgiveness over vengeance.Vicar Nicholas Breining

Palm SundayRev. Bryan Wolfmueller

[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. Do Joshua and all the baptized. We rejoice today that Jesus, knowing what was going to happen, knowing that this was the week of his suffering, of his trial, of his beating, of his arrest, of his crucifixion, of his being laid in the tomb, and knowing even beyond that what lay ahead, Jesus still g…

Lent Midweek 5Rev. Ross Davis

[Machine transcription] In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. The plan that had been in place before the foundation of the world was quickly being brought to its completion. A speedy trial and a summary execution had made sure of that. This process that normally would have taken at least a period of days is now over…

[Machine transcription] May God give us his grace and peace. Dear Christians, the conspiracy was underway. Easter was drawing near, and the beloved son was about to be cast out of the vineyard. The chief priest, the scribes, and the elders of the people plotted together in order to hand him over to the governor. Blinded and filled with hate, these …

Fifth Sunday in LentVicar David Krueger

Mary pours out her love for Jesus, alongside an expensive jar of (burial-approved) perfume. Her extravagant act of love embodies a faithful response to Christ's love for us and all who are held near, especially the marginalized.Rev. Zachary D. Wagner

[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus. Amen. Jesus is condemned by Pilate, handed over to the soldiers, mocked, whipped, and crowned with thorns, and is let out to die under the weight of his cross. That’s where we pick up the story tonight. They let him away, and as he’s leaving the palace, maybe even leaving town, he falls under the weight…

Lent Midweek 4Rev. Bryan Wolfmueller

[Machine transcription] Now the tax collectors and sinners were drawing near to hear Jesus, and the Pharisees and the scribes grumbled, saying, “This man receives sinners and eats with them.” So he told them this parable. You may be seated. Dear Stephen and Tray, dear conframands, dear baptized believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, this parable is on…

Fourth Sunday in LentRev. Bryan Wolfmueller

Despite our mistakes or self-righteousness, we can always trust that by returning to our merciful God, Jesus will be there running up to us with arms wide open, pulling us into the warm embrace of God’s abundant love and mercy.Vicar Nicholas Breining

[Machine transcription] Let us pray. May the words in my mouth and the meditations of our hearts be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, our rock and our Redeemer. Amen. To brothers and sisters in Christ, we have all seen those trials in the setting of a classroom where the defendant is fighting for his life, be it from spending time in prison or even …

Lent Midweek 3Rev. Robert E. LeBlanc

Third Sunday in LentRev. Bryan Wolfmueller

Attention-grabbing headlines and a parable overflowing with manure provide the backdrop for Jesus’ teaching rooted in divine mercy and judgment. Our response is simple: listen and repent.Rev. Zachary D. Wagner
