We draw near because Christ our Mediator has gone where we never could, and he has brought us with him.

On each of the seven days leading up to Christmas Eve (December 17-23), Chad Bird will provide a meditation that focuses on the ancient “O Antiphons,” each of which addresses Christ by a different Old Testament name. Today’s reflection is on “O Wisdom.”
12/16/20
The hope of Scripture is the glad tidings of the Lord’s “sudden and miraculous grace” which reverses the catastrophes of Eden.
12/14/20
The absolute best part of Christmas is that it is not flat at all, but in fact, it is very tall.
12/13/20
Christmas is a tremendous opportunity to make known the good news of great joy, but this opportunity is squandered when the Word isn’t heard on account of the predictability of the proclamation.
12/13/20
At the center of this gospel reading is a conversation. It was of the memorable variety. It involved a peasant girl from a small town and a mighty messenger from God.
12/11/20
This is Christmas. It is Jesus becoming all sin from generation to generation.
12/09/20
We do not believe that the virgin mother bore a son and that he is the Lord and Savior unless I believe the second thing, that he is my Savior and Lord.
12/07/20
God sent his Son down into the hidden places of our dark and dirty world to find us, and to the cross to wipe away our sins forever. That is what this story is all about.
11/25/20
In a year in which every day seems to blur together, Luther's orders of daily prayer help order our daily lives.
11/25/20
Because everything we possess, and everything in heaven and on earth besides, is daily given, sustained, and protected by God, it inevitably follows that we are in duty bound to love, praise, and thank him without ceasing
11/23/20
Like Luther and like Hannah, we also receive God’s promise.
