06.07.2020 Holy Trinity LOVE FOR GOD'S GLORY First Sunday after Pentecost - The Holy Trinity June 7, 2020 REDEEMER LUTHERAN CHURCH | Tucson, Arizona SEASON OF PENTECOST The focus of our attention during the three great festivals of the church - Christmas, Easter and Pentecost - is the life of Christ. With his ascension into heaven and his sending of the Holy Spirit on Pentecost, the focus of our lessons and services makes a decided turn. From now until Advent, the focus of our worship services assumes we believe in Christ, and therefore now focuses on the life of the Christian. FIRST SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST - THE HOLY TRINITY Jesus prayed, “Now this is eternal life: that they may know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent” (John 17:3). Today the Christian Church honors the true God, who reveals himself to us as a Triune God. Triune comes from the Latin Tri (three) and unus (one). God is triune because he is three persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, but only one God. Common to the lessons on Trinity Sunday are the interoperation of all three persons of the godhead. It was all three persons of the Trinity who were involved in the work of creation. While Jesus provides salvation through his death and resurrection, it was the Father who sent him into the world, and the Holy Spirit who persuades us to believe in him through the Word. We baptize in the name of all three persons of the Trinity, and we are also blessed (grace, love and fellowship) by all three persons of the Trinity. It is true that we speak frequently and glowingly about the work of Jesus. Yet it is the collective work of all three persons - Father, Son and Holy Spirit - who deserve our praise! God bless your worship of the only true God. OFFERING If you are here in person, you may place your offering in the one of the plates located in the entryway.

Lord God Almighty | 195 Please stand. 3 INVOCATION1 M: In the name of the Father and of the Son ✠ and of the Holy Spirit. C: Amen. CONFESSION OF SINS M: Dear friends, let us approach God with a true heart and confess our sins, asking him in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to forgive us. C: Lord of life, I confess that I am by nature dead in sin. For faithless worrying and selfish pride, For sins of habit and sins of choice, For the evil I have done and the good I have failed to do, You should cast me away from your presence forever. O Lord, I am sorry for my sins. Forgive me, for Jesus’ sake. ABSOLUTION2 M: Christ was born. 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. Hear the word of Christ through his called servant: I forgive you all your sins in the name of the Father and of the Son ✠ and of the Holy Spirit. C: Amen. 1The name of the triune God and the sign of the cross remind worshipers of their baptisms. 2 The use of the keys is that special power and right which Christ gave to his church on earth: to forgive the sins of penitent sinners” [The Small Catechism, First: What is the use of the keys?]. See John 20:21-23. 4 LORD, HAVE MERCY Kyrie3 Mark 10:47 M: In peace, let us pray to the Lord. For the well-being of all people everywhere, that they may receive from you all they need to sustain body and life, hear our prayer, O Lord. C: Lord, have mercy. M: For the spread of your life-giving gospel throughout the world, that all who are lost in sin may be brought to faith in you, hear our prayer, O Christ. C: Christ, have mercy. M: For patience and perseverance in this life, that we may not lose the hope of heaven as we await your return, hear our prayer, O Lord. C: Lord, have mercy. M: Lord of life, live in us that we may live for you. C: Amen. 3 Kyrie is the Greek word for Lord. The expression “Lord, have mercy” is one of the oldest worship responses in the Christian church. 5 GLORY BE TO GOD Gloria in Excelsis4 Luke 2:14 The Word SALUTATION5 M: The Lord be with you. C: And also with you. 4 Christians praise God by proclaiming the great things he has done to accomplish our rescue from sin. “Glory to God in the Highest” has been a Christian song of worship since the fourth century. 5 This greeting has deep roots in Christian worship and marks the beginning of the Word section and the Sacrament section the service. 6 PRAYER OF THE DAY M: Let us pray. Almighty God and Father, dwelling in majesty and mystery, filling and renewing all creation by your eternal Spirit, and manifesting your saving grace through our Lord Jesus Christ: in mercy cleanse our hearts and lips that, free from doubt and fear, we may ever worship you, one true immortal God, with your Son and the Holy Spirit, living and reigning, now and forever. C: Amen. Please be seated. FIRST READING Genesis 1:1-2:3 The triune God created the world. 1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. 3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light. 4 God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. 5 God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day. 6 And God said, “Let there be an expanse between the waters to separate water from water.” 7 So God made the expanse and separated the water under the expanse from the water above it. And it was so. 8 God called the expanse “sky.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the second day. 9 And God said, “Let the water under the sky be gathered to one place, and let dry ground appear.” And it was so. 10 God called the dry ground “land,” and the gathered waters he called “seas.” And God saw that it was good. 11 Then God said, “Let the land produce vegetation: seed-bearing plants and trees on the land that bear fruit with seed in it, according to their various kinds.” And it was so. 12 The land produced vegetation: plants bearing seed according to their kinds and trees bearing fruit with seed in it according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good. 13 And there was evening, and there was morning—the third day. 14 And God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark seasons and days and years, 15 and let them be lights in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth.” And it was so. 16 God made two great lights—the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the 7 night. He also made the stars. 17 God set them in the expanse of the sky to give light on the earth, 18 to govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good. 19 And there was evening, and there was morning—the fourth day. 20 And God said, “Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the sky.” 21 So God created the great creatures of the sea and every living and moving thing with which the water teems, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 22 God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and increase in number and fill the water in the seas, and let the birds increase on the earth.” 23 And there was evening, and there was morning—the fifth day. 24 And God said, “Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, creatures that move along the ground, and wild animals, each according to its kind.” And it was so. 25 God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good. 26 Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground.” 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.

Envisioned as a false-messiah, deceptive miracle-worker, and prophet of evil, Antichrist inversely embodies many of the qualities and characteristics associated with Max Weber’s concept of charisma. This essay explores early Christian, medieval, and contemporary depictions of Antichrist and the imagined political circumstances of his reign as manifesting the notion of (anti)charisma, compelling but misleading charismatic political and religious leadership oriented toward damnation rather than redemption. Keywords: apocalypticism; charisma; Weber; antichrist; Bible; US presidency 1. Introduction: Obama, Antichrist, and Weber On 4 November 2012, just two days before the most recent US presidential election, Texas “Megachurch” pastor Robert Jeffress (1956– ) proclaimed that a vote for the incumbent candidate Barack Obama (1961– ) represented a vote for the coming of Antichrist. “President Obama is not the Antichrist,” Jeffress qualified to his listeners, “But what I am saying is this: the course he is choosing to lead our nation is paving the way for the future reign of Antichrist” [1].

  • Christ of the Creeds
    Redeemer OPC, Pearl City Rev. Douglas L. Watson Adult Sunday School: Person and Work of Christ November 17, 2019 Christ of the Creeds I. Introduction. We continue on with the discussion we began last time about the two natures in the one Person of Jesus Christ. We saw plentiful Biblical evidence and proof that Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man. This confuses some, especially non-Christians in religions that deny the deity of Christ. I wonder if they think that by “fully” we mean in some form of measurement, as though they liken what we are saying to a bowl being full of food and full of dirt at the same time. It isn’t possible for the same space to be filled with two different substances at the same time, so perhaps they think we are saying something that is against reason. But that isn’t what we mean when we say He is fully God and fully man at the same time. We mean that Jesus Christ has a nature that is God in that everything that it takes and means to be God, He has. He also has a nature in His Person that is human in that everything that it takes and means to be human, He has. In order for this to happen, God the Second Person of the Trinity added a human nature to Himself that consists of a true human physical body and a human soul with intellect, will, and emotions. That doesn’t make Him half God and half man; He still is fully God by virtue of having the fully divine nature with all of the attributes of God intact, none missing.

  • UNIVERSITY of CALIFORNIA RIVERSIDE a Study of Antichrist
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA RIVERSIDE A Study of Antichrist Typology in Six Biblical Dramas of 17th Century Spain A Dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Spanish by Jason Allen Wells December 2014 Dissertation Committee: Dr. James Parr, Chairperson Dr. David Herzberger Dr. Benjamin Liu Copyright Jason Allen Wells 2014 The Dissertation of Jason Allen Wells is approved: Committee Chairperson University of California, Riverside ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION A Study of Antichrist Typology in Six Biblical Dramas of 17th Century Spain by Jason Allen Wells Doctor of Philosophy, Graduate Program in Spanish University of California, Riverside, December 2014 Dr. James Parr, Chairperson This dissertation examines Antichrist types manifested in the primary antagonists of six biblical dramas of seventeenth century Spanish theater. After researching the topic of biblical typology in the works of theologians Sir Robert Anderson, G.H. Pember, Arthur W. Pink, and Peter S. Ruckman, who propose various personages of both the Old and New Testaments that adumbrate the Antichrist, I devise a reduced list based on extant plays of the Spanish Golden Age whose main characters match the scriptural counterparts of my register. These characters are Cain, Absalom, Haman, Herod the Great, Judas Iscariot, and the Antichrist himself. I consult the Bible to provide the reader with pertinent background information about these foreshadowings of the Son of Perdition and then I compare and contrast these characteristics with those provided by the playwrights in their respective works. By making these comparisons and contrasts the reader is able to observe the poets’ embellishments of the source material, artistic contributions that in many instances probably satisfy the reader’s desire for details not found in the biblical iv narratives.

In this church planting ministry, Southern Baptist church planters must have and work with an ecclesiology that is both biblical and Baptist. Church planting strategies and endeavors must be conducted in such a way that they are obedient and submitted to the New Testament for faith and practice as well as committed to Baptist ecclesiology as stated in the Baptist Faith and Message 2000. In other words, these church plants exist and function as Baptist churches in accordance with the confessional statement of the Southern Baptist Convention.

Passover—Deliverance from the slavery of Egypt and the Death Angel. Isaiah 54:17—No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord. 2. THE PURPOSE OF THE BOOK God shows His provision for His people.
