The Fourth Sunday after Pentecost – Divine Service 1
Violence and destruction snuff out life! Mourning crescendos as cruelty erupts. But, the Lord remains strong as our warrior – our deliverer from evildoers. And as we battle sin and its consequences to our body and soul, we cling to Christ, who is obedience, justification, and righteousness. In Him, we claim all the blessed attributes and live, fearing not those things that seek to destroy but in all circumstances acknowledging and confessing Christ before all men!
