(ESV)\n\n        Last Sunday the Church prayed:\n        Almighty God, grant that we who have celebrated the\n        Lord's resurrection may by Your grace confess in our\n        life and conversation that Jesus is Lord and God.\n\n\n        The ongoing mission of the Church is to proclaim the good\n   news of salvation from sin, death, and the power of the devil\n   because of God's love for the sake of the death and resurrection\n   of Christ Jesus.  Our life and conversation proclaim that Jesus\n   is Lord and God.\n\n        We believe, teach, and confess that our redemption is\n   because of God's grace, not our works.  Because we are born in\n   sin, we do not desire to seek God, but run from Him.  Yet, as we\n   hear the Word of God, as we see the Word joined with the visible\n   elements of water, of bread and wine, we come to know and trust\n   in Christ Jesus.\n\n        Saint John finished the story of Thomas with the words,\n   ``Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.''\n   John points us to his eyewitness account of the life and work of\n   Jesus.  Here is the purpose of the Bible, from Genesis to\n   Revelations.\n\n        Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the\n        disciples, which are not written in this book; but\n        these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is\n        the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you\n        may have life in his name.\n\n\n        Please join us at Trinity Lutheran Church each Sunday at\n   9:00 a.m. to learn more about Christ Jesus so that you also may\n   have life in His name.\n\n        May our Lord grant us faith to trust in Him for life\n   everlasting.  Amen.<\/code><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>April 17, 2026 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-4754","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\/4754","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=4754"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4754\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4755,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4754\/revisions\/4755"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4754"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4754"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4754"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
