King of the Jews
Today marks the third Wednesday in the season of Lent as we continue our series on the doctrinally sound Stations of the Cross. As you can see by looking to the back of the Nave, the fifth station of the cross is uncovered and is what we will be looking at today. If you look at the station, you will see a scene where three men are in front of a cross that is laying on its side, yet to be hoisted aloft. The key figure is Jesus. Our Savior is standing tall but looks weak. Jesus knew what was to come next. He knew that he was mere moments from being placed on the cross. …For more, click on the title above.
The Way of the Cross
Today/Tonight we begin a journey, a five-week trip that will take us along a street now called Via Dolorosa, Latin for “Sorrowful Way.” It is also called by another Latin name, “Via Crucis” which translates to “Way of (the) Cross.”
Pastor Morehouse, Vicar Decker, and I will be your guides as we journey through the crowds that lined that street almost 2,000 years ago. We will discover the identity of some of those who were there. For more, click on the title above.
God’s steadfast love endures forever
Today’s readings serve, as you heard, to remind the Church of God’s eternally enduring love for people who are named with His Name. The texts from the Psalm, Jeremiah, the Letter to the Ephesians, and St. Luke have again been declared to us whom He gathers so regularly around His Word and Sacraments. Each year, on this particular Sunday, those readings reveal God’s unconditional love for sinners like you and me. They call us to remember that Jesus shed His blood into death to cover over sin, all sin. For more, click on the title above.

Bearing the cross, hearing Jesus, sitting in glory
The Lord has graciously brought us to another Wednesday in this Lenten season. As He does so, we are maintaining the “regular” orders of Services used here for Wednesdays. That means that each Lent Wednesday morning we continue to receive God’s gifts through the 20th century order called Divine Service, Setting 4. Each Lent Wednesday evening we continue to receive God’s gift of the Word through the ancient order of Vespers. …For more, click on the title above.
Rejoice in God
One of the key teachings of the Confessional Lutheran Church is that mankind is justified—declared right with God—by faith, not by the works carried out with human hands. This has been the case since Luther nailed the Ninety-Five Thesis to the door of his church. While there are multiple readings from Holy Scripture that explain the truth of how mankind is justified, our epistle reading for today clearly states that “we have been justified by faith.” For more, click on the title above.
