ASLC Podcast

Join Pastors Jules, Tanner Rebecca, and Vicar Michael for conversation around the texts for this week.

Scripture Readings: Acts 5:27-32; Psalm 118:14-29 | Psalm 150; Revelation 1:4-8; John 20:19-31

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 baptism, God’s new person (you!) rises daily from the deadly mire of trespasses and sins.

Scripture Readings: Isaiah 43:16-21; Psalm 126; John 12:1-8

This evening our Lenten observance comes to an end, and we gather with Christians around the world to celebrate the Three Days of Jesus’ death and resurrection. Tonight we remember Christ’s last meal with his disciples, but the central focus is his commandment that we live out the promise embodied in this meal. As Jesus washed his disciples’ feet, so we are called to give and receive love in humble service to one another. Formed into a new body in Christ through this holy meal, we are transformed by the mercy we have received and carry it into the world. Departing worship in solemn silence, we anticipate the coming days.

Scripture Reading: Psalm 116: 1-2, 12-19; 1 Corinthians 11:23-26; John 13:1-17, 31b-35; Psalm 22

Join Pastors Jules, Rebecca, and Vicar Michael for conversations around the texts and Holy Week.

Scripture Readings: Isaiah 65:17-25; Luke 24:1-12

This evening our Lenten observance comes to an end, and we gather with Christians around the world to celebrate the Three Days of Jesus’ death and resurrection. Tonight we remember Christ’s last meal with his disciples, but the central focus is his commandment that we live out the promise embodied in this meal. As Jesus washed his disciples’ feet, so we are called to give and receive love in humble service to one another. Formed into a new body in Christ through this holy meal, we are transformed by the mercy we have received and carry it into the world. Departing worship in solemn silence, we anticipate the coming days.

Scripture Reading: Psalm 116: 1-2, 12-19; 1 Corinthians 11:23-26; John 13:1-17, 31b-35; Psalm 22

Today we follow Christ from triumphal entry to the cross. 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.

Scripture Readings: Psalm 31:9-16; Philippians 2:1-11; Luke 19:28-40

Join Pastors Jules, Rebecca, and Vicar Michael for conversation around texts for this week’s Scripture.

Readings:  Isaiah 50: 4-9b; Psalm 31: 9-16; Phil. 2: 5-11; Luke 19:28-40

Scripture Readings: John 12:1-8

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 baptism, God’s new person (you!) rises daily from the deadly mire of trespasses and sins.

Scripture Readings: Isaiah 43:16-21; Psalm 126; John 12:1-8

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!

Scripture Readings: 32; 2 Corinthians 5:16-21; Luke 15:1-3, 11b-32
