Church Seasons (1000)
  1. This is an edited excerpt from Addendum A, “The Church Year,” On Any Given Sunday: The Story of Christ in the Divine Service, written by Michael Berg (1517 Publishing, 2023), pgs. 113-120.
  2. For Christians, Advent is the time when the Church patiently prepares for the coming of the Great King, Jesus the Christ.
  3. The Church stands firm on the word of promise that Christ will one day return to change what we know by faith into sight.
  4. Whatever else may be said about the Last Day it consists of these two inseparable things: Christ’s coming and His kingdom people being gathered to Him.
  5. The name of God invites us on a journey to see how God will remain present with his people, listen to their cries for salvation, know their sufferings in such an intimate way so as to incarnate them in Christ.
  6. The words of Jesus shine with a graceful brilliance among the broken fragments of this world.
  7. Even though All Saints is a day for remembering the dead, it is not a day of mourning.
  8. The phrase “works of the law” has an antithesis when it comes to righteousness—faith. What keeping the Law could not do, the gift of faith does.
  9. No efforts to create worship as a delectable dish to attract people to our services will ever work, because it is only what God gives to us in His Word and Sacrament that can satisfy the hungry and thirsty soul.
  10. To preach Christ and Him crucified is to reveal again the revealed God who saves.
  11. This parable does its surprising work of turning everything upside-down, as Christ’s Kingdom always does.
  12. Jesus is the only one who is His brothers’ keeper on behalf of all of humanity and the only one who answered the rhetorical question fully and correctly for you.
