(ESV)\n\n        The Gospel reading for this week, the Second Last Sunday of\n   the Church Year, concerns the judgment, when Christ returns and\n   the angels separate all people into two groups.  On His right\n   hand are the sheep, on His left the goats.  The sheep He invites\n   to enter into the kingdom prepared for them before the foundation\n   of the world.  The goats are condemned to eternity with the\n   angels who rebelled against God.\n\n        ``And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the\n   righteous into eternal life.''\n\n        We believe, teach, and confess that all people are conceived\n   in sin, and are born an enemy of God.  Only as our heavenly\n   Father, in His grace and mercy, sent His Son to die to pay the\n   price of our sin, do we have the hope of everlasting life.  The\n   sinless Son of God took upon Himself our sin, suffered the fires\n   of hell on our behalf, and defeated death.  He rose from the\n   dead, foreshadowing our own resurrection.\n\n        Good works, the way we accept the ones God has sent to\n   proclaim His undeserved love, are simply evidence of faith.\n   Where the world may be indifferent, if not openly hostile, to\n   those who preach the Word, the sheep who have faith in Christ\n   gladly hear and respond to the good news of Christ Jesus.\n\n        Please join us at Trinity Lutheran Church each Sunday\n   morning at 9:00 a.m. as we gather to hear of God's love, grace,\n   and mercy as found in Christ Jesus.  He died and rose again so\n   that you may be gathered with the sheep, blessed eternally by the\n   Father.\n\n        May our Lord grant you faith to trust this message of hope.\n   Amen.<\/code><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>November 21, 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-4042","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\/4042","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=4042"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4042\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4043,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4042\/revisions\/4043"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4042"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4042"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4042"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
