What is preaching? St. Paul writes in Romans: “Whoever calls on the name of the LORD shall be saved. How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?” (Romans 10:14-15)

Therefore our Lutheran Confessions state: “It is also taught among us that one holy Christian church will be and remain forever. This is the assembly of all believers among whom the Gospel is preached in its purity and the holy sacraments are administered according to the Gospel.” (Augsburg Confession VII:1-3)

Lenten Catechesis II 2012 – The Creed

Summary: Last week we learned what God expects of us and what we are not to do. We learned how these commands remain God’s perfect and pure will, despite being far above our ability as weak people to accomplish. This week, we learn from the Creed not just who God is but how He equips us to do what He commands. The Creed describes His essence, will, activity, and work. “What kind of person is God?” “What does He do?” The Holy Trinity works to not only give and preserve your life, but to redeem you and sanctify you.

Invocavit ’12 – Matthew 4:1-11

Jesus was led into the wilderness to be tempted for you. By his confrontation, we learn where temptation comes from and what temptation seeks to do. Knowing this, we take the weapons of the faith in hand, knowing our enemy’s strategy, and fully equipped to deflect and defend every attack. It is necessary that temptation come but it is never more than we can handle… since we are in Christ.
