Five Words of Understanding
ICHTHUS is Greek for fish. Christians used the fish symbol because the five letters that spell out I-CH-TH-U-S are the first letters of the confession, "Jesus Christ, God's Son, Savior."

Mark 45:21-43 (Lamentations 3:22-33; 2 Corinthians 8:1-9, 13-15)
Preached by Rev. Gary Gehlbach CHRIST MAKES YOU WELL
In the Acts of the Apostles after a lame man was healed, St. Peter declared, By the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by Him this man stands here before you whole. This is the ‘stone which was rejected by you builders, which has become the chief cornerstone.’ Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved (Acts 4:10-12). Listen again: There is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.

Text: Mark 4:26-34 (Ezekiel 17:22-24; 2 Corinthians 5:1-10 [12-17])
Preached by Rev. Gary Gehlbach
Grace and peace to you from God our Father and our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
In today’s OT reading from Ezekiel, we hear our Lord say, I, the LORD, have spoken and have done it (Ezk 17:24). These clear words from our Triune God should leave no doubt in your mind – THE LORD HAS DONE IT. From the creation of the world to the judgment of the world on the last day, it is the Lord who has done everything to bring you to Him so that you might rest in safety. He brought life. Man brought death. So God did what was necessary. God destroyed death and gave new life. Death and life are the two words which can sum up today’s readings and indeed sum up all Scripture. It is in death and life that Christ our Lord accomplished His work of forgiving all your sins and giving you life and salvation. |

Text: Job 38:1-11; 2 Cor. 6:1-13; Mark 4:35-41
Preached by Vicar Christopher Amen
Where was Jesus when the storm arose and as the waves were breaking into the boat and filling it with water? “He was in the stern, asleep on the cushion.” So His disciples woke Him up and rebuked Him saying, “Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?”
“Doesn’t anybody care?” is a prominent cry in our day...

Text: John 3:1-17, Isaiah 6:1-8, Acts 2:22-36
Preached by Vicar Christopher Amen
In the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
It is no accident that the liturgy leads the pastor to begin the Divine Service, “In the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit” and not, “We begin in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.” In the invocation we are not telling ourselves what we are about to do. In the invocation we are not simply reminding ourselves who the one true God is. Rather, in the invocation, we are calling directly on the Holy Trinity Himself with trust that He comes into our midst as He has promised.
