Weekly Update for Grace & Trinity

9 July 2021
Friday of Trinity 5

Dear Saints and Friends of Grace & Trinity,

This Sunday is
the 6th Sunday after Trinity
✞ The Sunday of the Sermon on the Mount ✞
<www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Exodus+20%3A7-17%3B+Romans+6%3A1-11%3B+Matthew+5%3A17-26&version=ESV> Exodus 20:7-17; Romans 6:1-11; Matthew 5:17-26

What do we do with the Law of God? Our Lord has 10 commandments. These show us our sin and our need for a Savior and how we should live before God and our neighbor. Of course, that’s not how we live, at least, not most of the time. We are sinners, this is true. But even while we were sinners Christ died for us! But did He die that we might live in our sin? By no means! Let us fight and strive and cling to Christ, fleeing temptation, running in love toward our neighbor, and holding God above all else. That’s simply what faith does.

Join us for the Divine Service at Grace at 8am or Trinity at 11am and for Bible study at 9:30am at Trinity. For Bible Study, we’re in Revelation 21.

Weekly Update for Grace & Trinity

2 July 2021
Feast of the Visitation

Dear Saints and Friends of Grace & Trinity,

Today is the Feast of the Visitation.
John the Baptizer and Jesus, the two great figures of salvation history, now come together in the visit to Elizabeth by the Virgin Mary (Lk 1:39-45), both of whom conceived their children under miraculous circumstances. Thus John is brought into the presence of Jesus while they are still in their mothers’ wombs. This presence of the Lord causes a response by the child John as he leaps in Elizabeth’s womb. John’s response to the presence of Jesus, the Messiah, foreshadows John’s own role as forerunner. Already now, a new creation is beginning, and a baby still in the womb hails the new creation’s inception. Foreshadowed in John’s leap are all the miracles of Jesus who will cause all creation to leap at His presence. Treasury of Daily Prayer

This Sunday is
the 5th Sunday after Trinity
† The Sunday of the Miraculous Catch of Fish †
1 Kings 19:11-21; 1 Peter 3:8-15; Luke 5:1-11

Fishers of men applies to the Apostles and those who stand in their apostolic office. They preach, teach, and administer the sacraments, calling sinners to repentance and life in the body of the crucified and risen Savior. The Word does the work—for Elijah and all the prophets, as well as the Apostles and your pastors today. Rejoice that you men and women have been caught in the net of the Gospel and pulled up from the sea of chaos and despair through the preaching of this word.

Join us for the Divine Service at Grace at 8am or Trinity at 11am and for Bible study at 9:30am at Trinity. For Bible Study, we’re beginning Revelation 21.

Weekly Update for Grace & Trinity

4 June 2021
*Friday after the Festival of the Holy Trinity*

Dear Saints and Friends of Grace & Trinity,

This Sunday is
*the 1st Sunday after Trinity*
T the Sunday of the Rich Man and Lazarus T
Genesis 15:1-6; 1 John 4:16-21; Luke 16:19-31 <ec2-52-26-194-35.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com/x/d?c=13269563&l=435b2f27-6a35-458f-8518-02028816d747&r=94a23d64-df72-44ac-9c6e-2aa100bbe8f6>

*When the beggar Lazarus died*, he was carried by the angels to Abraham’s bosom. For he was truly Abraham’s seed. Like Abraham, he believed in the Lord, and the Lord “counted it to him as righteousness” (Gen. 15:6). The name Lazarus means “God is my help.” The unnamed rich man, on the other hand, did not love and trust in God. For he evidently cared little for the beggar at his gate. And “he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love God whom he has not seen” (1 John 4:20). He who loved and trusted in possessions and prestige died and was in torments in Hades (Luke 16:19–31). Repentance and faith are worked only through Moses and the prophets—that is, the Word of God, for it points us to Christ. Only through His death and resurrection are we brought the comfort of life everlasting.

We have the distinct joy this week of hearing Vicar Kyle Nelson preach! Join us for the *Divine Service* at *Grace* at *8am* or *Trinity *at *11am* and for *Bible study* at *9:30am* *at Grace. *During Bible Study we’ll discuss Holy Baptism and how the Lutheran teaching compares with other traditions. It will be a sort of re-cap of this week’s EDI Florovsky/Newman Week.
