Hymnal 101

Daily Prayer – Ep. 5 – Hymnal 101 (New Video Series!!)

 

 

So now that we know about the lectionary, glossary, chanting…how do we put it all to use? With Daily Prayer! The hymnal includes brief devotional liturgies for daily prayer FOUR times each day. Each one is flexible to fit the time you have available, and they are easy to use on your own or with your family at home!


ABOUT THIS SERIES:

The hymnal isn’t just a collection of songs we use for worship services. It’s a book containing a ton of resources for the faithful to use throughout the week, even at home! Pastor Matt Richard not only teaches us about the hymnal but how to make use of it in our daily lives.

Sermons FOR YOU

“According to the Promise and in the Name of Jesus” Rogate 2019

Christian prayer is a wonderful gift. Jesus today promises that our Father hears our prayers for His sake. He tells how to pray, what to pray, and why to pray. And thus, prayer is His gift to us, so that with all boldness and confidence we may pray as dear children of our Heavenly Father. 

Text: John 16:23-33 (One Year)

Preacher: Pastor Christopher Gillespie, St. John Ev. Lutheran Church (Sherman Center), Random Lake, WI

Sermons FOR YOU

“[Jesus’] divine power has gifted us everything for life and godliness” Ash Wednesday 2019

Everything gifted? Yes, everything. All means all. Everything means everything. Nothing left out. All gift. Everything’s gift. Everything for life. Everything for godliness. Jesus gives. We receive. “Faith, virtue, knowledge, self-control, endurance, godliness, brotherly affection, love.” All these are a gift from the Lord. He gifts everything for life and godliness.

This doesn’t quite jive with our views of Lent and repentance and even absolution. We turn Lent into our time to shine. “Fasting…is certainly fine outward training.” Our flesh shouldn’t be in control. Like Paul said a few weeks ago, “I discipline my body and bring it into subjection, lest, when I have preached to others, I myself should become disqualified.” We turn our repentance into the credit that earns the absolution.
