[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…

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.Από τον Vicar Nicholas Breining

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.Από τον Vicar Nicholas Breining

[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 …

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.Από τον 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…

[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…

[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.

[Machine transcription] those 18 on whom the tower in Saloam fell and killed them. Do you think that they were worse offenders than all others who lived in Jerusalem? No, I tell you. But unless you repent, you will all likewise perish. You may be seated. In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear saints, I titled the sermon this morning. It’s called How to W…

[Machine transcription] God grant us his grace and peace. Throughout all of Holy Week, our Lord Jesus had been going back and forth between Jerusalem and Bethany, where he lodged in the house of his friend Lazarus and his sisters, Mary and Martha.

[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus. Amen. Dear saints, our Lord Jesus has set his face to Jerusalem, and he’s headed that way. He starts in Galilee, and he’s gone down south. But the text in Luke 13, we find him in Perea. That’s the area where John the Baptist was baptizing; that’s on the east side of the Jordan. It’s the area where Elija…
