Today as we begin our celebration of Holy Week, we meditate on Isaiah 53 and its prophetic message about our Savior from sin. We'll come back to this text in our Good Friday Devotion. (Look for new devotions this week on Maundy Thursday and Good Friday.)
Good Friday, maybe seems like a strange name for the day in which Jesus died upon the cross.
I always wondered to myself, why in the world would somebody take two names of weekdays and put them together into Monday Thursday? It didn't make a whole lot of sense.
The world is a place of anger and hostility and kindness shines like a beautiful, glistening diamond.
You break it, you buy it. That's the way life functions. God says the same thing. You break my law, you buy it. Yet, God has also done something wonderful.
"Save yourself, and us!" These are the words yelled at Jesus by one of the criminals being crucified alongside him. Join us for a message of peace and forgiveness as Pastor Matt Moldstad shows us how Jesus was indeed saving the people around him, even as he was crucified.
Jesus pain and suffering on the cross was real. We know this because he was thirsty, his body was exhausted. Because his suffering was real, we can be assured that the forgiveness he purchased for us is also real. Join Pastor Tim Hartwig today for a short message of grace and forgiveness.
Was it irony that the sign above Jesus' head read "King of the Jews" or was it divine providence? Today Pastor Matt Moldstad tells us how Pilate is an unexpected prophet of the Passion.
What's your favorite holiday? Most people wouldn't choose Lent when answering that question. Today Pastor Matt Moldstad tells us why he loves the Lenten season so much and why you should too.
