Following His baptism and temptation, Jesus continues to show us how God is constantly using unexpected people and ways to bring about His Word: the shepherds, John the Baptist, the region of Galilee, and—in today's text—the fishermen.
When we all expect the Messiah to deliver a more perfect law, Jesus delivers the opposite: forgiveness.
Then Dr. Chris Croghan explains the verse Martin Luther used to kickstart the Reformation: "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near." Spoiler alert: to be repented is a passive act.
Adam, Kiri and Mason ask:
Introducing our newest podcast: Sing to the Lord!
"Next to the word of God, the art of music is the greatest treasure in the world." -Martin Luther.
To understand the importance of hymnody in the Lutheran church, Luther House of Study's Mason Van Essen and Lars Olson sit down with Zachary Brockhoff each week to discuss the lectionary's hymns, their meaning and history, and how the music preaches the Gospel.
