I did not say these things to you from\n             the beginning, because I was with you.  (ESV)\n\n        On the night He was betrayed, Jesus told His disciples:\n        I have said all these things to you to keep you from\n        falling away.  They will put you out of the synagogues.\n        Indeed, the hour is coming when whoever kills you will\n        think he is offering service to God.  And they will do\n        these things because they have not known the Father,\n        nor me.  But I have said these things to you, that when\n        their hour comes you may remember that I told them to\n        you.  I did not say these things to you from the\n        beginning, because I was with you.\n\n\n        Because the Church is made up of redeemed sinners, the\n   Church needs to guard against false teaching and practice.\n   Entire church bodies and congregations may reject the clear Word\n   of God.  Those who call on congregations to repent may be\n   rejected for their message.  Yet, we are called upon to witness\n   the truth, even if we are cast out of the congregation because\n   people do not wish to repent.\n\n        As witnesses of the truth, we continually read, learn, and\n   study God's Word so to better understand the gift of love given\n   to us for the sake of Christ Jesus.  Therefore the Church prays:\n        O King of glory, Lord of hosts, uplifted in triumph far\n        above all heavens, leave us not without consolation but\n        send us the Spirit of truth whom You promised from the\n        Father.\n\n\n        Please join us this coming Sunday at 9:00 a.m. to receive\n   the blessings of God given through the Word and sacraments.  Stay\n   to learn more of God's Word as we study the Bible, asking and\n   answering questions so to increase our faith and knowledge.\n\n        May our Lord grant the desire to learn more of His mercy as\n   shown in Christ Jesus.  Amen.<\/code><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>May 22, 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-4840","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\/4840","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=4840"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4840\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4841,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4840\/revisions\/4841"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4840"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4840"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4840"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
