Resurrection of Our Lord: Easter Day                                                April 17, 2022

4/17/2022

 
​Scripture:  Acts 10:34-43   •  Psalm 118:1-2, 14-24  • 1 Corinthians 15:19-26  •  John 20:1-18
 ​
​Introduction: “The last enemy to be destroyed is death,” Paul writes. Today Christ is risen, and we gather together with astonishment and joy. Christ is risen, and we have been set free from the bonds of death. Christ is risen, and we are forgiven. Christ is risen, and with the women at the tomb and Peter, we are amazed. Let us rejoice: Christ is risen indeed! Alleluia!
 
Sermon: Pastor Kathryn Gulbranson:   “The Empty Tomb and our Faith”

Good Friday                                                                                        April 15, 2022

4/15/2022

 
Scripture:  Isaiah 52:13-53:12  • Psalm 22  • Hebrews 10:16-25 or Hebrews 4:14-16; 5:7-9  • John 18:1-19:42
 ​
​Introduction: Life and death stand side by side as we enter into Good Friday. In John’s passion account, Jesus reveals the power and glory of God, even as he is put on trial and sentenced to death. Standing with the disciples at the foot of the cross, we pray for the whole world in the ancient bidding prayer, as Christ’s death offers life to all. We gather in solemn devotion, but always with the promise that the tree around which we assemble is indeed a tree of life. We depart silently, and we anticipate the culmination of the Three Days in the Easter Vigil.

Sunday of the Passion / Palm Sunday                                           April 10, 2022

4/10/2022

 
Scripture:  Luke 19:28-40 /  Isaiah 50:4-9a    / Psalm 31:9-16    / Luke 23:1-49  ​
 ​
​Introduction:  Today we follow Christ from triumphal entry to the cross, each waypoint of the journey marked by Jesus’ compassion for those who would betray, mock, accuse, or do violence to him. Though persecuted and beaten, Jesus the Son of God is not disgraced; instead, he asks forgiveness for those who put him to death. We have walked the Lenten pathway these forty days, each of us invited through baptism to “let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus.” We enter this holy week accompanying Jesus to the cross with both grief and thanksgiving in our hearts, trusting in God’s redeeming love.

Fifth Sunday in Lent                                                                             April 3, 2022

4/3/2022

 
Scripture: Isaiah 43:16-21  • Psalm 126  • Philippians 3:4b-14  • John 12:1-8
 ​
​Introduction: Our God makes all things new. In the first reading God promises it. In the gospel Mary anticipates it, anointing Jesus’ feet with costly perfume in preparation for the day of his burial. In the second reading Paul recalls his transformation from the persecutor Saul into an apostle. In baptism, God’s new person (you!) rises daily from the deadly mire of trespasses and sins.

Fourth Sunday in Lent                                                                    March 27, 2022

3/27/2022

 
Scripture: : Joshua 5:9-12  •  Psalm 32  •  2 Corinthians 5:16-21  •  Luke 15:1-3, 11b-32

 ​​Introduction: The psalm sets the tone this day: “Happy are they whose transgressions are forgiven, and whose sin is put away!” Happy are those who have “become the righteousness of God” in the merits of Christ Jesus. Happy are those for whom the forgiveness of God has “rolled away . . . the disgrace” of former times. Happy is the father at the return of his prodigal son. Happy are we that our sins are forgiven for Jesus’ sake. Rejoice!
 
Sermon: Pastor Kathryn Gulbranson:   ​"Remember Whose You Are"

Third Sunday in Lent                                                                        March 20, 2022

3/20/2022

 
​Scripture: Isaiah 55:1-9  •  Psalm 63:1-8  •  1 Corinthians 10:1-13  •  Luke 13:1-9

 ​​Introduction: The warnings are plentiful and blunt on the third Sunday in Lent. Cut it out or get cut down! The warnings are accompanied by God’s invitation to attentiveness: “Incline your ear, and come to me; listen, so that you may live.” The landowner’s ultimatum is forestalled by the gardener’s readiness to till the ground one more year. That is good news for all of us. Thanks be to God!
