(ESV)\n\n        Before the children of Israel entered the land of Canaan,\n   Moses taught them of the God who had delivered them from Egypt.\n        And now, Israel, what does the LORD your God require of\n        you, but to fear the LORD your God, to walk in all his\n        ways, to love him, to serve the LORD your God with all\n        your heart and with all your soul, and to keep the\n        commandments and statutes of the LORD, which I am\n        commanding you today for your good?\n\n\n        Who is the LORD God?  His Name, which is hidden in the word\n   LORD, means ``I Am.''  He existed before the beginning of the\n   universe.  He brought everything into existence with the power of\n   His voice.\n\n        Because His creation, humans, turned from His grace and\n   mercy, and because of His eternal love for His people, God the\n   Father sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to pay the price of our sins.\n   The truth is simple, any sin, no matter how small, condemns us.\n   It is our nature to sin, the nature which our first parents took\n   upon themselves when they defied God.  Therefore, the LORD God,\n   the eternal and almighty, determined to redeem us from the power\n   of death.\n\n        By our own reason or strength we cannot believe in the LORD\n   God, we cannot trust in the innocent suffering and death of Jesus\n   to pay the price of our sins.  Our first thoughts about the good\n   news that Jesus conquered death by bursting forth from the tomb\n   is unbelief.  But the Holy Spirit, who comes to us in God's Word\n   and the Sacraments, creates and sustains the faith with trusts in\n   God alone.\n\n        We confess the Triune God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.\n   This is the God Moses calls us to serve.  May our Lord grant us\n   the wisdom to hear His Word and to trust in Him.  Amen.<\/code><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>October 2, 2024 Broadcast<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2371","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-turn-your-radio-on-2024"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2371","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2371"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2371\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2372,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2371\/revisions\/2372"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2371"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2371"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2371"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
