(ESV)\n\n Our prayer this week recognizes the work of the Holy Spirit\n as He gives us faith to trust in God for our salvation from sin,\n death, and the power of the devil.\n O Lord, since You never fail to help and govern those\n whom You nurture in Your steadfast fear and love, work\n in us a perpetual fear and love of Your holy name.\n\n\n Jesus finished His parable which He told in response to the\n exclamation, ``Blessed is everyone who will eat bread in the\n kingdom of God!'' The master of the feast pronounced the\n judgment on all who rejected his invitation to the banquet.\n ``For I tell you, none of those men who were invited shall taste\n my banquet.''\n\n The sign along the highway this week asks the question,\n ``Why don't you go to church?'' Why do you reject God's\n invitation to receive the blessing of the forgiveness of your\n sins? Is it your pursuit of wealth, or that you are too busy at\n work, or you put family and leisure ahead of God's mercy?\n\n Remember, the message of the church is not a demand for good\n works or self denial or heroic acts of piety to show your faith.\n The message of the church is simple, you and I have sinned and\n deserve God's wrath and punishment. However, because we cannot\n save ourselves, God, in His mercy, sent His Son, Jesus, to\n suffer, die, and rise from the dead to pay the price of our sin.\n He forgives us because Jesus paid our debt.\n\n You are invited by God to receive from Him the fullness of\n His love. Where can you hear this message of grace? Join us at\n Trinity Lutheran Church at 9:00 a.m. on Sunday. Please accept\n this invitation. Come, the feast is ready. God grant this for\n Jesus' sake. Amen.<\/code><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"June 19, 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-4951","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\/4951","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=4951"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4951\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4952,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4951\/revisions\/4952"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4951"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4951"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4951"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
