[Machine transcription] Christ is risen, he has risen indeed. Hallelujah. In the name of Jesus. Amen.

[Machine transcription] When they heard these things, they fell silent and they glorified God, saying, “Then to the Gentiles also, God has granted repentance that leads to life.” Christ is risen. He has risen indeed. You may be seated. In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear Saints, we are going to end up right there with that text from Acts chapter 11 th…

[Machine transcription] Christ is risen. In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen. Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, you may be aware that today is a special day. Today is that one day, that particular day, that Sunday each year that we, if we’re smart, mark on the calendar, and we honor the one who has given us life. The one who ca…

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

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

[Machine transcription] Christ is risen. He has risen indeed. Hallelujah. In the name of Jesus. Amen. Dear Saints, last week we heard from John chapter 20, the very end, where John says why he’s written all of these things down. He says, there’s many other things that Jesus did that were not written in this book, but these were written so that you …

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

Easter VigilRev. Bryan Wolfmueller

[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…

[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…

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.

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

[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…
