Epiphany Four St. Paul’s Lutheran Church Cudahy, Wisconsin November 8, 2020 Almost every week in worship we confess: “He will come again to judge the living and the dead.” But we often live as though it will never happen. We pray that God keeps us awake and alert and prepared for his return, or our own death – whichever comes first. With faith in Jesus, the Lamb of God who washes us clean, there’s no reason to be afraid of Judgment Day. We look forward to our Savior’s return, when he takes us home! CALL TO WORSHIP M: We have gathered to worship the one true God. He identifies himself in his Word as the Triune God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen. HYMN OF INVITATION – “Delay Not! Delay Not!” (337 v.1-3) CONFESSION OF SINS M: Lord, we acknowledge that our presence in your house is a privilege given to us purely by your grace. You are holy and we are not. We, therefore, humbly come before you to confess our sinfulness and ask for your unfailing mercy. M: Lord, we were born with sin. We inherited it from our parents. C: Jesus, forgive me. M: Lord, we think, say and do things that are wrong because our nature is evil. C: Jesus, forgive me. M: Lord, we fail to do the good you want us to do because our nature is selfish. C: Jesus, forgive me. M: Lord, we are sorry that we have sinned against you and against each another. C: Jesus, forgive me. HYMN OF INVITATION – “Delay Not! Delay Not!” (337 v.4) 4) Delay not! Delay not! The hour is at hand; The earth will dissolve, and the heavens will fade. The dead, small and great, in the Judgment must stand— What pow’r, then, O sinner, can lend you its aid? GOD FORGIVES AND FORGETS OUR SINS M: Christ has died. Christ is risen. Christ will come again. In his great mercy, God made us alive in Christ even when we were dead in our sins. He says in his Word, “I forgive your wickedness and I will remember your sins no more!” The blood of Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God, washes you clean of your sins. You are forgiven and have a home waiting for you with Jesus in glory. You can look forward to Judgment Day with confidence and comfort, because you are at peace with God. Amen. HYMN OF INVITATION – “Delay Not! Delay Not!” (337 v.5) 5) Delay not! Delay not! Why longer abuse The love and compassion of Jesus, your God? A fountain is opened—how can you refuse? Come, wash and be cleansed in his pardoning blood. PRAYER OF THE DAY M: The Lord be with you. C: And also with you. M: Lord God Almighty, rule our hearts and minds by your Holy Spirit that we may always look forward to the end of this present evil age and to the day of your return in judgment. Keep us steadfast in a true and living faith, and present us at last holy and blameless before you; through your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. C: Amen. 2 OLD TESTAMENT – Daniel 7:9-10 Just like the Apostle John in today’s epistle lesson, Daniel also has a vision. His is filled with fire and thrones and books. God the Father opens the books and will judge according to what is in them. One set of books records deeds, another book only has believer’s names written in it. 9 “As I looked, “thrones were set in place, and the Ancient of Days took his seat. His clothing was as white as snow; the hair of his head was white like wool. His throne was flaming with fire, and its wheels were all ablaze. 10 A river of fire was flowing, coming out from before him. Thousands upon thousands attended him; ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him. The court was seated, and the books were opened. PSALM OF THE DAY: 14 (Supplement) 3 EPISTLE / TODAY’S MESSAGE – Revelation 7:9-17 There’s a great big group of people in white robes. Who are they? 9 After this I looked, and there before me was a great multitude that no one could count, from every nation, tribe, people and language, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were wearing white robes and were holding palm branches in their hands. 10 And they cried out in a loud voice: “Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb.” 11 All the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures. They fell down on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, 12 saying: “Amen! Praise and glory and wisdom and thanks and honor and power and strength be to our God for ever and ever. Amen!” 13 Then one of the elders asked me, “These in white robes - who are they, and where did they come from?” 14 I answered, “Sir, you know.” And he said, “These are they who have come out of the great tribulation; they have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 15 Therefore, “they are before the throne of God and serve him day and night in his temple; and he who sits on the throne will shelter them with his presence. 16 ‘Never again will they hunger; never again will they thirst. The sun will not beat down on them,’ nor any scorching heat. 17 For the Lamb at the center of the throne will be their shepherd; ‘he will lead them to springs of living water.’ ‘And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.’” M: Alleluia! Watch therefore, for you do not know on what day your Lord is coming. Alleluia! GOSPEL M: The Gospel according to Matthew, chapter 25. C: Jesus once came as a humble baby, but he’ll return as the glorious King with angels at his side. He’ll sit on his throne and will judge everyone as either a sheep (believer), or a goat (unbeliever). 31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left. 34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’ 37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’ 40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’ 4 41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’ 44 “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’ 45 “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’ 46 “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.” M: This is the Gospel of the Lord. C: CONFESSION OF FAITH: The Apostles’ Creed I believe in God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into hell. The third day he rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty. From there he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Christian Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

  • Jesus Said in Luke 4:18
    Deliverance Jesus said in Luke 4:18 "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovery of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised." Sharing the same anointing by His Holy Spirit, I realized that we also have the same commission. Although I preached the Gospel, I laid hands on the sick and healed the brokenhearted; I hadn't moved out into deliverance ministry - but that changed after a mission trip to Europe! I know that it is no coincidence that while ministering in Vienna, I was trained by one of the best in the field of deliverance. It was truly awesome to see the change in peoples' continence and lives after being set free from demonic oppression. Sister Pastor Irene and I stepped out in this new phase of ministry in 1999. We are filled with such compassion to "set the captives free" when we see the control the enemy exercises over some peoples' lives. Many are oppressed by spirits of fear, bondage, and rejection, that had come in during childhood (through no fault of their own), or resulting from abuse by an family member. Jesus said in Luke 10:19: "Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you." He also stated in Mark 16:17 "And these signs shall follow them that believe: in my name shall they cast out devils..." There are seventeen "Strongmen" identified in the bible.

  • Savoy and Regent Label Discography
    Discography of the Savoy/Regent and Associated Labels Savoy was formed in Newark New Jersey in 1942 by Herman Lubinsky and Fred Mendelsohn. Lubinsky acquired Mendelsohn’s interest in June 1949. Mendelsohn continued as producer for years afterward. Savoy recorded jazz, R&B, blues, gospel and classical. The head of sales was Hy Siegel. Production was by Ralph Bass, Ozzie Cadena, Leroy Kirkland, Lee Magid, Fred Mendelsohn, Teddy Reig and Gus Statiras. The subsidiary Regent was extablished in 1948. Regent recorded the same types of music that Savoy did but later in its operation it became Savoy’s budget label. The Gospel label was formed in Newark NJ in 1958 and recorded and released gospel music. The Sharp label was formed in Newark NJ in 1959 and released R&B and gospel music. The Dee Gee label was started in Detroit Michigan in 1951 by Dizzy Gillespie and Divid Usher. Dee Gee recorded jazz, R&B, and popular music. The label was acquired by Savoy records in the late 1950’s and moved to Newark NJ. The Signal label was formed in 1956 by Jules Colomby, Harold Goldberg and Don Schlitten in New York City. The label recorded jazz and was acquired by Savoy in the late 1950’s. There were no releases on Signal after being bought by Savoy.

DESCRIPTORS Auteurism; *Black Community; *Black Culture; Black History; Cultural Images; Film Criticism; *Film Production Specialists; *Film Study; Popular Culture; Racial Relations; Urban Culture IDENTIFIERS *African Americans; *Lee (Spike) ABSTRACT This monograph presents a critical essay and a comprehensive 454-item bibliography on the contemporary African-American filmmaker, Spike Lee. The essay, entitled "African-American Folklore and Cultural History in the Films of Spike Lee" (Gloria J. Gibson-Hudson), analyzes Lee's filmmaking approach from a cultural and historical perspective. The essay identifies Lee as a contemporary storyteller weaving his tales with the aid of a camera and demonstrates how his film narratives draw on both the historic and contemporary experiences of African Americans. The essay discusses five of Lee's films (made between 1984 and 1991) thematically, categorizing them under intra-racal issues and inter-racial issues. The bibliography (by Grace Jackson-Brown) provides citations from both scholarly and popular literature, encompassing newspaper articles, journal and magazine articles, chapters or sections from books, and reviews of films (most of the citations date from the last 5 years). The extensive 49-page bibliography is intended to be a comprehensive guide to literature that will assist students and researchers with an interest in Spike Lee.

  • 27 the Blood of Jesus
    THE BLOOD OF JESUS 27 The Blood of Jesus Ephesians 1:7-12 “In Him we have redemption through His blood . .” (Ephesians 1:7). As we think specifically about the precious blood of Jesus, a “holy hush” falls over our hearts because we know that we are entering the “Holy of Holies” of the Scrip- tures. The centerpiece of the Bible is the blood of Jesus! Nevertheless, people today are horrified by the subject of His blood. Some claim that Christianity needs new sym- bols. Such a view impugns the intelligence and the char- acter of God, for God chose the blood of His Son as the means of our salvation! He made His Lamb the center of all history (Revelation 13:8). The cross is the place where we see how our sin hurt God the most; it also is the place where we see how God loved us the most (John 3:16). The theology of heaven is Christ-centered, cross-centered, and blood-centered. THE ENORMI T Y OF SIN No book in all the Bible clashes more violently with the modern mind than Leviticus. “How did this book get 111 THE AGONY & GLORY OF THE CROSS into the Bible?” we wonder. In our reading of the Bible, we usually skip it. However, this is a most important biblical book. It is where God detailed the sacrificial sys- tem of the law of Moses. It is filled with priests, sacrifices, and blood! God, in that book of law, was teaching the exceeding sinfulness of sin (Romans 7:13).

  • Andrew Murray the Power of the Blood of Jesus
    http://www.biblesnet.com The Power of the Blood of Jesus by Andrew Murray CHAPTER CONTENTS I. WHAT THE SCRIPTURES TEACH ABOUT THE BLOOD II. REDEMPTION BY BLOOD III. RECONCILIATION THROUGH THE BLOOD IV. CLEANSING THROUGH THE BLOOD V. SANCTIFICATION THROUGH THE BLOOD VI. CLEANSED BY THE BLOOD TO SERVE THE LIVING GOD VII. DWELLING IN "THE HOLIEST" THROUGH THE BLOOD VIII. LIFE IN THE BLOOD IX. VICTORY THROUGH THE BLOOD X. HEAVENLY JOY THROUGH THE BLOOD CHAPTER 1 What the Scriptures Teach About the Blood "Not Without Blood"-Heb. ix. 7 and 18. GOD has spoken to us in the Scriptures in divers portions and in divers manners; but the VOICE is ever the same, it is always the WORD of the same GOD. Hence the importance of treating the Bible as a whole, and receiving the witness it gives in its various portions, concerning certain definite truths. It is thus we learn to recognise the place these truths actually occupy in Revelation, http://www.biblesnet.com or rather in the HEART OF GOD. Thus, too, we begin to discover what the foundation truths of the Bible are, which above others demand attention. Standing as they do, so prominently, in each new departure in God's revelation; remaining unchanged when the Dispensation changes, they carry a divine intimation of their importance. It is my object, in the chapters which follow this introductory one, to show what the Scriptures teach us concerning THE GLORIOUS POWER OF THE BLOOD OF JESUS, and the wonderful blessings procured for us by it; and I cannot lay a better foundation for my exposition, nor give a better proof of the superlative glory of THAT BLOOD AS THE POWER OF REDEMPTION, than by asking my, readers to follow me through the Bible, and thus see the unique place which is given to THE BLOOD from the beginning to the end of God's revelation of Himself to man, as recorded in the Bible.

  • Prayer of Release
    Prayer of Release for Free Masons and Their Descendants This prayer last updated with some new material on July 26th, 2005 If you were once a member of a Masonic organisation or are a descendant of someone who was, we recommend that you pray through this prayer from your heart. Please don't be like the Masons who are given their obligations and oaths one line at a time and without prior knowledge of the requirements. Please read it through first so you know what is involved. It is best to pray this aloud with a Christian witness present. We suggest a brief pause following each paragraph to allow the Holy Spirit to show any related issues which may require attention. A significant number of people also reported having experienced physical and spiritual healings as diverse as long-term headaches and epilepsy as the result of praying through this prayer. Christian counsellors and pastors in many countries have been using this prayer in counselling situations and seminars for several years, with real and significant results. Some language could be described as 'quaint Old English' and are the real terms used in the Masonic ritual. The legal renunciation opens the way for spiritual, emotional and physical healing to take place. There are differences between British Commonwealth Masonry and American & Prince Hall Masonry in the higher degrees. Degrees unique to Americans are marked with this sign "*" at the commencement of each paragraph. Those of British Commonwealth decent shouldn't need to pray through those paragraphs. The Prayer of Release "Father God, creator of heaven and earth, I come to you in the name of Jesus Christ your Son.
