Time Out, Episode 13

Text: Ephesians 2. Hymn: 556, “Dear Christians, One and All, Rejoice”.

Organist: Dale Stanton, Our Savior Lutheran Church, Morristown, TN.

The hymn is one of my kids’ favorites, so the introductory sound bite is from The Incredibles.

Special thanks to Pr. Chad Hoover for opening St. Paul in Kalkaska so that I could record the vocal track in time for broadcast on PCR. I may need your assistance again next week, Pr. Hoover.

Time Out, Episode 8

Text: Isaiah 53. Hymn: LSB 440, “Jesus I Will Ponder Now”

Technical notes: The previous seven Time Outs were saved at a constant 128kbps rate. When I listened to the files with my headphones, at times it sounded like there was wind rushing past the microphone. I’ve saved Time Out #8 with a variable bit rate that makes for a bigger file, but the noise is gone. This will be more noticeable in the Introduction, the Hymn, and the Wrap-up. The text was recorded at the constant rate, and I don’t want to re-record Isaiah 53 to fix that.

Scripture notes: Who doesn’t love Gospel in the Old Testament? I suppose one could say that the fact that the sacrifice was necessary would be Law, but the fact that Jesus did do this for us is entirely Gospel.

Time Out, Episode 7

Text: John 11:17-53. Hymn: LSB 439, “O Dearest Jesus, What Law Hast Thou Broken,” vv. 9-15.

The accompaniment is provided by Dale Stanton, of Our Savior Lutheran Church in Morristown, Tennessee.

I found the decision of where to start and stop in John 11 to be an interesting one. I cut it in the places where it spoke the most about Jesus.

Verses 49-52, where Caiaphas alludes to substitutionary atonement (I told you this Bible thing had doctrine in it), reminds me of Peter confessing Christ as the Son of God, because it’s a situation where the confessor (Peter, Caiaphas) may not have had the best grasp on what he is confessing. That doesn’t make what they say any less true.

Time Out, Episode 6

Text: John 3. Hymn: LSB 439, “O Dearest Jesus, What Law Hast Thou Broken,” vv. 1-8.

The accompaniment is provided by Dale Stanton, of Our Savior Lutheran Church in Morristown, Tennessee. Mr. Stanton has a nice postlude on his work, so again we’ll save the Amens — perhaps until after Easter.

This hymn has fifteen verses, so it is prudent to break it up into two podcasts. I wouldn’t be surprised if there were a Lenten worship series based on it.

Thank you for your support.
