this is how I am to be remembered from generation to generation.’

32 “Or if the offering that he brings as a sin offering is a lamb, he is to bring an unblemished female. 33 He is to lay his hand on the head of the sin offering and slaughter it as a sin offering at the place where the burnt offering is slaughtered. 34 Then the priest must take some of the blood of the sin offering with his finger and apply it to the horns of the altar of burnt offering. He must pour out the rest of its blood at the base of the altar. 35 He is to remove all its fat just as the fat of the lamb is removed from the fellowship sacrifice. The priest will burn it on the altar along with the fire offerings to the Lord. In this way the priest will make atonement on his behalf for the sin he has committed, and he will be forgiven.

Sermon text: Matthew 28:16-20

16The eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain

where Jesus had directed them. 17When they saw him, they

worshipped him, but some hesitated because they were uncertain.

18Jesus approached and spoke to them saying, “All

authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.

19Therefore go and gather disciples from all nations

by baptizing them in the name of the Father and

of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20and

by teaching them to keep all the instructions I

have given you. And surely I am with you

always until the end of the age.”

The Holy Spirit Comes!

Sermon text: Acts 2:1-21

When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. 2Suddenly a sound like

the rushing of a violent wind came from heaven, and it filled the whole house where they were

sitting. 3They saw divided tongues that were like fire resting on each one of them. 4They were all

filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages, since the Spirit was giving

them the ability to speak fluently.

5Now there were godly Jewish men from every nation under heaven

living in Jerusalem. 6When this sound was heard, a crowd came together

and was confused, because each one heard them speaking in his

own language. 7They were completely baffled and said to each other,

“Look, are not all these men who are speaking Galileans?

8Then how is it that each of us hears them speaking in his own native

language? 9Parthians, Medes, and Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia,

and of Judea, Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, 10Phrygia and Pamphylia,

Egypt, and the parts of Libya around Cyrene; visitors from

Rome, both Jews and proselytes; 11Cretans and Arabs—we hear them

declaring in our own languages the wonderful works of God.” 12They

were all amazed and perplexed. They kept saying to one another,

“What does this mean?” 13But others mocked them and said, “They are full of

new wine.” 14Then Peter stood up with the Eleven, raised his voice, and spoke loudly and

clearly to them: “Men of Judea, and all you residents of Jerusalem, understand this,

and listen closely to my words. 15These men are not drunk, as you suppose, for it is only the

third hour of the day. 16On the contrary, this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:

17This is what God says will happen in the last days:

I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh. Your sons and your

daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions. Your old

men will dream dreams. 18Even on My servants, both men and women,

I will pour out My Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy. 19I will

show wonders in the sky above, and signs on the earth below, blood

and fire and a rising cloud of smoke. 20The sun will be turned to darkness

and the moon to blood before the coming of the great and glorious

day of the Lord. 21And this will happen: Everyone who calls on the

name of the Lord will be saved.

Therefore, because you were raised with Christ, seek the

things that are above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of

God. 2Set your mind on things above, not on earthly things. 3For

you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4When

Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with

Him in glory.

Sermon text: 2 Timothy 1:3-9

I thank God, whom I serve, as my ancestors did, with a clear conscience, as night and day I constantly remember you in my prayers. Recalling your tears, I long to see you, so that I may be filled with joy. I am reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice and, I am persuaded, now lives in you also.

For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God,

which is in you through the laying on of my hands. For the Spirit God has not given us a spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. So do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord or of me his prisoner. Rather, join with me in suffering for the gospel, by the power of God. He has saved us and called us to a holy life—not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time…

Sermon text: John 14:1-12

“Do not let your heart be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. 2In my Father’s house are many mansions. If it were not so, I would have told you. I am going to prepare a place for you. 3And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and take you to be with me, so that you may also be where I am. 4You know where I am going, and you know the way.” 5“Lord, we don’t know where you are go-ing,” Thomas replied, “so how can we know the way?”

6Jesus said to him, “I am the Way and the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. 7If you know me, you would also know my Father. From now on you do know him and have seen him.” 8“Lord,” said Philip, “show us the Father, and that is enough for us.” 9“Have I been with you so long,” Jesus answered, “and you still do not know me, Philip? The one who has seen me has seen the Fa-ther. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? 10Don’t you be-lieve that I AM in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I AM telling you I AM not speaking on my own, but the Father who remains in me is doing his works. 11Believe me that I AM in the Father, and the Father is in me. Or else believe because of the works themselves. 12“Amen, Amen, I tell you: The one who believes in me will do the works that I am doing. And he will do even greater works than these, because I AM going to the Father.

Sermon text: 1 Peter 2:19-25

19 For it is commendable if someone bears up under the pain of unjust suffering because they are conscious of God. 20 But how is it to your credit if you receive a beating for doing wrong and endure it? But if you suffer for doing good and you endure it, this is commendable before God. 21 To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in his steps.

22 “He committed no sin,

and no deceit was found in his mouth.”

23 When they hurled their insults at him, he did not retaliate; when he suffered, he made no threats. Instead, he entrusted himself to him who judges justly. 24 “He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.” 25 For “you were like sheep going astray,” but now you have returned to the Shepherd and Overseer of your souls.
