(ESV)\n\n Jesus was teaching His disciples about the judgment of all\n people at the end of the age. His warning was not only for His\n disciples, but for all people of all time.\n\n But watch yourselves lest your hearts be weighed down\n with dissipation and drunkenness and cares of this\n life, and that day come upon you suddenly like a trap.\n For it will come upon all who dwell on the face of the\n whole earth. But stay awake at all times, praying that\n you may have strength to escape all these things that\n are going to take place, and to stand before the Son of\n Man.\n\n\n How do we prepare for our Lord's return? We know that our\n faith is God's gracious gift which He gives us through His Holy\n Word and the sacraments of baptism, the Lord's Supper, and\n absolution. God's Word clearly tells us that our hope of the\n forgiveness of our sins lies only in Christ Jesus. Whoever\n believes in Him as the only-begotten Son of God who was\n crucified, died, and risen for our sake, has the promise of\n everlasting life.\n\n The Christian faith is not about our good works, although we\n do many good works as a response of our faith. The Christian\n faith is about Jesus dying and rising again to pay the price of\n our sin. The Christian faith is about God's love.\n\n Please allow Trinity Lutheran Church to help you prepare for\n our Lord's coming as the righteous Judge by joining us each\n Sunday morning at 9:00 a.m. to learn more of God's mercy.\n\n May our Lord grant you wisdom and faith to hear and trust in\n Christ Jesus alone. Amen.<\/code><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"December 12, 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-4162","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\/4162","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=4162"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4162\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4163,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4162\/revisions\/4163"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4162"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4162"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4162"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
