Isaiah 6:1-7
Romans 11:33-36
John 3:1-17

In the name of the Father and of the +Son and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.

God can not be understood. The Spirit blows where He will. You can not control Him. You do not have power to control Him. You do not even have power to save yourself or even see God at work in this world. When it comes to salvation, and much else in life, you have no power. All the power you think you have is an illusion. God holds all power. But it does not seem like that, does it?

Genesis 11:1-9
Acts 2:1-21
John 14:23-31

In the name of the Father and of the +Son and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.

Blood and fire and vapour of smoke, oh my! Sinful man looks for signs, miracles, supernatural reasons to believe. We long for them. We are drawn to the powerful, flashy stuff in Scripture. But God works in quiet, small, insignificant things.

Ezekiel 36:22-28
1 Peter 4:7-11
John 15:26-16:4

Christ is risen. He is risen indeed. Alleluia.

In the name of the Father and of the +Son and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.

The end of all things has come near. We live in the final stage of history. We do not know how long this end stage will be. But the end is most certainly upon us for Christ said so Himself. God’s reckoning of time is, of course, different than ours. We wonder, “If this is end why is it dragging on so long?” In our weakness we doubt. Our sin causes us to question if God has actually intervened in human history. It makes us think that if He even exists, if ever He did intervene, He does not any more. At least not in miraculous, overt, easy to see ways like did in past. And so our prayers falter.

Numbers 21:4-9
James 1:22-27
John 16:23-33

Christ is risen. He is risen indeed. Alleluia!

In the name of the Father and of the +Son and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.

“You must be doers of the word and not hearers only,” says James the brother of Our Lord. Many a person has tried to use this verse to place James in opposition to His own brother and to Our Lord’s Apostle, Paul, as if being a hearer or a doer of the Word are different things.
