​The Resurrection of our Lord/Easter Day (April 17, 2022)
The  enemies of Jesus thought they had won with Him dead and in the grave.  But they were mistaken and themselves defeated instead.  Christ has risen!
Palm Sunday (April 10, 2022)
On Palm Sunday we celebrate with all of ancient Jerusalem that Jesus, our humble King, comes to us.  He came into Jerusalem to pay for our sins and die on the cross, that from His resurrected life we might receive peace and the mercy of God.   Jesus comes today in His word of Holy Scripture, His sacrament of Holy Baptism, and His supper of Holy Communion, bringing His gracious reign into our lives.
The Fifth Sunday in Lent (April 3, 2022) 
The vineyard of the church is bearing fruit as the Holy Spirit works within the lives and hearts of baptized believers.  Yet often the vineyard owner, the Lord, does not receive the praise due Him, because the tenants want it all to themselves.  Jesus tells a parable about a vineyard owner, nasty tenants, and a son who is killed.  The religious authorities in Holy Week know that He is speaking about them.  But instead of repenting in contrition and shame, they double-down on their plan to kill Jesus.  Lord, have mercy on Your church!
The Fourth Sunday in Lent (March 27, 2022)
Jesus sinners doth receive!   He desires the enjoyment of the heavenly banquet of the prodigal son as well as the self-righteous one!  He calls all to repentance and faith in Him for forgiveness and eternal life!  We are a new creation by His grace and mercy.
The Third Sunday of Lent (March 20, 2022)
​​Our Lord loves us so much that He would warn us away from death to the salvation He has prepared through His Son!  Turn from sins and live, our God calls.  Repentance and faith in the forgiveness which Jesus has procured for us on the cross and gives to us in Holy Absolution, Holy Baptism, and Holy Communion grants life and salvation.
The Second Sunday of Lent (March 13, 2022)
Jesus was warned to flee Jerusalem to save His life.  Knowing that His time had not yet come, Jesus did not fear.  But He did weep over Jerusalem and her inhabitants, whom the Christ wished would repent and believe and be saved.
The First Sunday of Lent (March 6, 2022)
Jesus knows what it is like to be tempted by the devil; He can help us when we are tempted to resist the temptations.  Better than that, He forgives us when we sin and provides ways out of being tempted.
