Text: Galatians 4
Hymn: 410, Within the Father’s House
Kretzmann Commentary: Galatians 4
Bonus Bumper: Bobby Fuller Four, I Fought the Law

The Law is good, but it does not make alive. It is a guide for how we should live, but it does not save. It points out our sin and kills us, so that we may wholly trust in Christ for forgiveness and for inheritance into His kingdom.

Within the Father’s house, the Son has found his home. Christ fulfills the law on our behalf and takes the punishment that we deserve. The incarnate Word revealed himself to the Pharisees through the Word (Luke 4:17-21). That is where we find him today.

Chris Loemker again joins us on the organ.

Text: I Corinthians 15:1-28
Hymn: 412, The People That in Darkness Sat
Kretzmann Commentary: I Corinthians 15:1-28
Bonus Bumper: Handel, Messiah, Since By Man Came Death

I Corinthians 15 is one of my favorite passages in the Bible. It separates fact from fable and reminds us that everything rests on the death and resurrection of the God-man, Jesus Christ. This wasn’t something written on golden disks or told to one single prophet by an angel. The risen Christ appeared to Peter, then James, then all the apostles, then over 500 other witnesses. And what is the big deal? This God-man takes our sin, our death, our flesh, and dies with it, the holy paying for the unholy, the Christ paying for the sins of the world, even those of Paul, who persecuted the Church.

The resurrection was real. It is something we can have faith in, an event that has everlasting consequences for you and me.

Text: Romans 11
Hymn: 394, Songs of Thankfulness and Praise
Kretzmann Commentary: Romans 11
Bonus Bumper: Handel, Glory Be to God the Father

Israel has killed God’s prophets and demolished His altars, and yet God has not rejected his people. In order for Israel to see what it was missing, God gave the Gospel to the Gentiles as well.

Anthems be to Thee addressed, God in man made manifest!

I’m still on the tail end of a cold, but the hymn turned out well anyway, thanks in no small part to the talents of our guest accompanist, Mr. Chris Loemker, Music Director of Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Collinsville, IL.

Text: Acts 1
Hymn: 382, We Praise You, Jesus, At Your Birth
Kretzmann Commentary: Acts 1
Bonus Bumper: Time Out, Episode 120, “A Hymn of Glory Let Us Sing”

I regret that Sam Mussman’s Time Out, scheduled for today, has to be postponed. After I got his accompaniment, my singing voice started sounding like garbage due to a cold. I hope to have him back in February.

Acts 1. The Ascension. At the end of the Christmas season. Hey, that’s just how we roll. Why do you stand looking to heaven? Jesus now comes where two or three are gathered in His name, in Baptism, in the Lord’s Supper, and in the Divine Service. The King of Kings now serves us, forgiving our sins, making us righteous before God, freeing us from that worry so that we can serve our neighbor.

That’s why we praise him at his birth. :)
