Trinity Lutheran Church's Podcast

Send us Fan Mail Today we see the disciples declare that they are to serve God, not human beings. Pastor helps us take a look at who and what we value, and turns us to put our value in Christ alone! Happy Sunday! We hope you tune in next time. Have a great week.  12 The apostles performed many signs and wonders among the people. And all the believers used to meet together in Solomon’s Colonnade. 1...

Send us Fan Mail Happy Easter! He is risen! He is risen indeed! Listen today to see how two surprising adjectives - DEAD and HIDDEN - are great ways to see ourselves after our Savior has risen from the dead. Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. 3 For...

Send us Fan Mail A Blessed Good Friday to all of you. Listen with meditation in your hearts, hearing and learning what all God was and is willing to do for all of us. 1 0 For all who rely on the works of the law are under a curse, as it is written: “Cursed is everyone who does not continue to do everything written in the Book of the Law.” 11 Clearly no one who relies on the law is justified before...

Send us Fan Mail Good evening, and a blessed Holy Thursday to all of you! In this section of Jeremiah, God is giving a new covenant. He knows all the failures of the Israelites, but he is truly a God of grace and forgiveness, and gives his Son as the ultimate sacrifice, and through this sacrifice, he has given us complete forgiveness and eternal life. Worship in person with us tomorrow, Good Frida...

Send us Fan Mail Happy Palm Sunday! Listen as we are reminded of the wonderfully comforting message that Jesus is our strength, our purpose, and our never-changing Savior, who can erase all doubt we have that we are worthy of heaven. “Here is my servant, whom I uphold,     my chosen one in whom I delight; I will put my Spirit on him,     and he will bring justice to the nations. 2 He will not shou...

Send us Fan Mail Thank you for listening! Enjoy the sermon based on Isaiah 43:16-21. God is out for more than helping us with our daily discomforts. He's in it for our souls and for eternity.  16 This is what the  Lord says—     he who made a way through the sea,     a path through the mighty waters, 17 who drew out the chariots and horses,     the army and reinforcements together, and they l...

Send us Fan Mail Thanks for listening! Today, Pastor Cherney talks through Paul's words to the church in Philipi, warning them not to hold their worth in their own actions, but instead in Christ's actions on their behalf. Through His suffering and death, God sees US as perfect, seeing Jesus in our place. Let us rejoice in this!  If someone else thinks they have reasons to put confidence...

Send us Fan Mail Thank you for tuning into our sermon podcast! The text that served as the focus of our fourth midweek Lenten service is Isaiah 12:1-6: In that day you will say:           “I will praise you, LORD.           Although you were angry with me,           your anger has turned away           and you have comforted me.        2 Surely God is my salvation;           I will trust and not b...

Send us Fan Mail Exodus 3:1-15 3 Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian,and he led the flock to the far side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the mountainof God. 2 There the angel of the Lord appeared to him in flames of fire from within a bush. Moses saw that though the bush was on fire it did not burn up. 3 So Moses thought, “I will go over and see...

Send us Fan Mail We are not always faithful to God. We often rely on ourselves and ignore God's love and grace for us. God has proven to be faithful to His people throughout history. However unfaithful we may be, through Jesus' death and resurrection, we can always rely on God's faithfulness. He has promised never to leave or forsake us. 1 Corinthians 10:1-13 10 For I do not want yo...

Send us Fan Mail Thank you so much for joining us this evening.  God's Blessings to you! Jeremiah 26:8-15 8 But as soon as Jeremiah finished telling all the people everything the LORD had commanded him to say, the priests, the prophets and all the people seized him and said, “You must die! 9 Why do you prophesy in the LORD’s name that this house will be like Shiloh and this city will be desol...

Send us Fan Mail Thanks for listening today! In this section of Scripture, Paul is warning the people of Philippi against addiction, calling their stomachs their "gods." All the cravings we have in this life can truly be satisfied with Christ! If you are looking for peace in this world, try to look for it in Jesus, and all of the blessings he has given you. But see these blessings as the...

Send us Fan Mail Goliath was huge and strong... virtually unbeatable. Why is it that David went out to fight him? It was because of what Goliath said. He taunted the Lord, made fun of God! David went out to battle, declaring that it was the Lord's battle. As we deal with the battles in our lives (whether it is the battle of illness or temptation or anything in-between), remember that it'...

Send us Fan Mail In today's sermon, we are reminded that Jesus has always been controversial. And no one liked being told they were wrong. When the early Christian Church was persecuted because others were angry at them for telling them they were wrong, some easily gave it up. Was it really worth all this? Let's remember and focus on who Jesus is, and what he did for us. He not only beca...

Send us Fan Mail Lent is a season of repentance. In this section of scripture, Nathan uses a story to get a very important message through to King David. It's easy for us to look at this story and so many others and say what someone SHOULD have done. But we are often in the same position as David - we are faced with sin and give in to the temptation - and the devil is constantly working to ge...

Send us Fan Mail We all aspire to greatness in some way in this life, often because we seek a bit of glory. But do you ever get tired of it? Do you ever feel like giving up on your pursuit of glory? Pastor talks about how the disciples wondered at times what glory could exist with following Jesus. He was homeless, hated by prominent people... When the transfiguration happens in this section of Luk...

Send us Fan Mail Thanks for joining us today! The world is full of opportunities to serve revenge to those who wrong us. It's not always a fist fight, but speaking against others, wishing ill on them, hoping for bad things to happen to them... Paul's words today make a huge impact. "Bless those who persecute you..." Wow. Listen in as Pastor Cherney shows what we have to lose by...

Send us Fan Mail Thanks for joining us! Something about going "back to the basics" appeals to all of us. We like to think that if something happened, we'd be able to be self-sufficient. But, really, are any of us REALLY self-sufficient? Can we REALLY do it all ourselves? We all have weaknesses of some kind, even though it's hard for all of us to admit. Paul talks to the people...

Send us Fan Mail Thanks for joining us! Where do you put your hope of heaven? Is it in the good you do, or in the church you belong to? The Jews and Gentiles both had their reasons to put their hope in different things. The Jews thought that because they were God's chosen people, that was all it took. The Gentiles liked to point out the Jews' errors and say they were better! But your GRO...

Send us Fan Mail Thanks for joining us today! Although true humility is a wonderful thing, it won't get us far in this world. Our culture certainly doesn't reward it. This was also true of the church in Corinth, whom Paul was writing to in this section of the Bible. They were very excited about certain gifts, like speaking in tongues. Paul tells them we are all part of the body of Christ...

Send us Fan Mail How are your New Year Resolutions going? Let's assume you are normal... and they aren't going so well. Even the best laid plans go awry. Peter and John can attest to this in today's reading. They HEALED someone, and got arrested for it! As Christians, we often face opposition. This can be in the form of our culture telling us it is wrong to be Christian, or it can b...

Send us Fan Mail Thanks for joining us! We often make "value" judgements when we meet people. Are they good or bad? The hero or the villain? Are they worthy of our help, if they need it? Pastor Cherney points us to these verses in Titus to remind us of God's amazing and unfailing mercy, and reminds us that, through mercy, it's not, "who deserves our help," but rather,...

Send us Fan Mail As the Magi were guided by the star to see and worship Jesus as king and Savior, may we be guided by God's Word to change our life and seek Jesus as our Savior and King. May our lives also be guided by Christ.  1 After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea, during the time of King Herod, Magi[ a ]from the east came to Jerusalem 2 and asked, “Where is the one who has been born...

Send us Fan Mail The end of the year always brings on quests to better ourselves in one way or another. Often this includes things to keep us from aging! The book of Ecclesiastes is sometimes a hard one to read... "Meaningless, meaningless! Everything is meaningless!" What is the point of getting healthy or having the big house, when we are all going to just die anyway?? But the words fo...
