Broadcast<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Come Home - Part 4\n Luke 11:27\n 03\/12\/2026\n\n\n 27 As he said these things, a woman in the crowd\n raised her voice and said to him, ``Blessed is the\n womb that bore you, and the breasts at which you\n nursed!'' (ESV)\n\n On Sunday we prayed the historic Collect for the Third\n Sunday in Lent.\n O God, whose glory it is always to have mercy, be\n gracious to all who have gone astray from Your ways and\n bring them again with penitent hearts and steadfast\n faith to embrace and hold fast the unchangeable truth\n of Your Word.\n\n\n In this prayer we ask God to grant to each of us faith which\n trusts in Him for all things. We know that God works through\n external means, through the Word and Sacraments to create faith,\n through our jobs and vocations to provide for our daily bread.\n Each day we also stray from the truth of His Word, which is why\n we daily ask Him to forgive us our trespasses. In turn, we serve\n God by serving our neighbor.\n\n There is a form of religion, however, which does not save.\n As [Jesus] said these things, a woman in the crowd\n raised her voice and said to him, ``Blessed is the womb\n that bore you, and the breasts at which you nursed!''\n\n\n What the woman said is indeed true, and we certainly hold\n Mary as an example of faith. Yet, many times the trappings of\n religion, the traditions, the works of those who have gone before\n us, blinds us to the truth of God's Word.\n\n When the form of religion, when the history of religion,\n when the traditions of religion take our eyes off of Christ Jesus\n as our Redeemer, we do not hold fast to the unchangeable truth of\n God's Word. When we rely on our own works, our own good\n behavior, we do not embrace the truth of God.\n\n May our Lord grant that we embrace and hold fast the\n unchangeable truth of His Word, that we may have a firm and\n steadfast faith in Him. Amen.<\/code><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"March 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":[15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4556","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-turn-your-radio-on-2026"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4556","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=4556"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4556\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4557,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4556\/revisions\/4557"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4556"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4556"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4556"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
