Time Out, Episode 160

Text: 2 Thessalonians 1
Hymn: TLH 429, Lord, Thee I Love With All My Heart
Kretzmann Commentary: 2 Thessalonians 1
Bonus Bumper: The Royal Band, Terminator 2 Judgment Day

We are using the setting from TLH. The words and music, written up in Finale and saved as a PDF, will appear as the next post, as we don’t seem to be able to make iTunes show more than one file on a post. Anna Baseley is our guest vocalist.

2 Thessalonians 1 is about thanksgiving for the increase in faith and hoping for the world to come. We who believe in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ for our salvation have nothing to fear. Our suffering here will be repaid in the end.

Time Out, Episode 159

Text: 1 Thessalonians 5
Hymn: 607, From Depths of Woe I Cry to Thee
Kretzmann Commentary: 1 Thessalonians 5
Bonus Bumper: Verdi, Requiem, “Dies Irae”

Lent is upon us. St. Paul admonishes us to keep our eyes peeled for the day of the Lord. Encourage one another and build each other up, using the means he has given the church. God has not destined us for wrath!

We’ve re-recorded vocals on 607. It’s a treat to take the last couple of years’ worth of lessons and apply them to the old classics. Though great our sins, yet greater still Is God’s abundant favor.

Time Out, Episode 158

Text: Philippians 1
Hymn: 418, O Lord, Throughout These Forty Days
Kretzmann Commentary: Philippians 1
Bonus Bumper: 116 Clique, 13 Letters, To Live is Christ (feat. Trip Lee)
Bonus Hymn: 419, Savior, When in Dust to Thee

We have a bonus hymn for the beginning of Lent! Matthew Pancake, from the podcast/radio program Radical Grace, accompanied and mixed for Hymn 419. On the occasion of this joint venture, if you donate to Time Out and mention Hymn 419, we will split the donation with Radical Grace and give you a link to download the hymn all by itself. Whether or not you donate, we’d love to hear your feedback on the hymn.

Philippians 1 is a reminder that apparent setbacks to the Gospel can actually advance the Gospel. Paul is jailed, but he preaches to the souls in prison — how’s that for being Christ-like?

Our first hymn helps us kick off the 40 days of Lent, which corresponds to Jesus’s 40 days in the wilderness. May we use the gift of this season to repent and hear the Gospel.

A lot of comfort can be had in our second Lenten hymn. While we ask God to hear our penitential cry through despair and death, we know that Christ has triumphed and will reveal that triumph on the last day.
