(ESV)\n\n This week we are looking at the Rich Man and Lazarus. The\n rich man and Abraham are talking after Abraham refused the rich\n man's command that Lazarus journey to Hades with a drop of water.\n\n And [the rich man] said, ``Then I beg you, father, to\n send him to my father's house -- for I have five\n brothers -- that he may warn them, lest they also come\n into this place of torment.'' But Abraham said, ``They\n have Moses and the Prophets; let them hear them.''\n\n\n We believe, teach, and confess that the Church is the people\n who truly trust in God's grace, love, and mercy, who look to the\n Word of God, both written and visible in the sacraments, to know\n of Jesus Christ as their Redeemer from sin, death, and the power\n of the devil. Riches are no indicator of God's eternal favor.\n Our good works do not pay the price of our sins.\n\n There is only one source of knowledge, one source of\n doctrine, for the Church. That is the inspired Word of God,\n Moses and the prophets and the apostolic writers. The Old and\n New Testaments combined give us all we need to know of God's rich\n grace, love, and mercy. The Bible tells us plainly that the\n Father sent the Son to die for our sins, to earn for us\n redemption from eternal death. This redemption is a gift, not\n something we earn.\n\n Moses and the prophets are sufficient witness of the truth\n so that we may know of the Father's love, the Son sacrifice, and\n the Holy Spirit's work of bringing us to faith in Christ.\n\n May our Lord grant us faith to hear Moses and the prophets\n for our eternal blessing. Amen.<\/code><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"June 26, 2025 Broadcast<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3448","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-turn-your-radio-on-2025"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3448","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=3448"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3448\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3449,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3448\/revisions\/3449"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3448"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3448"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3448"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
