Text: Isaiah 9
Hymn: 656, A Mighty Fortress Is Our God
Kretzmann Commentary: Isaiah 9
Bonus Bumper: Handel, Messiah, “The People That Walked in Darkness”

We begin several weeks of Isaiah with chapter 9, filled with Messianic prophecy and civil war. Three times Isaiah notes, “For all this his anger has not turned away, and his hand is stretched out still.” Some people argue that a loving God wouldn’t send people to Hell. Well, would you keep these warring factions around in Heaven without atoning for them? :)

656 is one of those hymns that Cantor Beethe and I have reservations on doing, since there are other accompanists and vocalists who have already done a better job. We got some help this time, from Molly Leithart. :)

Text: 1 Chronicles 17
Hymn: 493, A Hymn of Glory Let Us Sing
Kretzmann Commentary: 1 Chronicles 17
Bonus Bumper: Handel, Messiah, “Symphony”

Surprise, David! One of your immediate sons will build the temple, and one of your future progeny will be the Messiah and reign forever. As they say in Cleveland, what’s not to like?

Today the Church celebrates the Ascension, where Christ is seen going into the heavens but remained with his disciples and with us in His word and sacrament. “A Hymn of Glory Let Us Sing” confesses not only the ascension but his coming again, our future great reward.

We have two guests on this hymn: Molly Leithart, of Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church in Columbus, OH, and Kantor Jacob Weber, of Emmanuel Lutheran Church in Dearborn, MI.
