Ministry of the Church

The only point in being a Christian at all is if this message of the resurrected Jesus continues to be the solid ground on which you stand.

This restoration is understood as a resurrection—restoration/return to the Land is equated with the resurrection to the courts of Heaven.

The gospel of Jesus’ coming out of death and the tomb alive so that we might be restored to our identity as God’s children establishes the most enduring reality there is.

.A prayerful and meditative vigil in expectation of Christ’s return at Easter became a common feature of the celebration of His crucifixion and resurrection.

Luther sees in the Lord’s Supper the most concentrated form of the Gospel[5] because in it the death of Christ is proclaimed and the benefits of that saving death are bestowed in His body and blood given us to eat and drink.
