Broadcast<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Pretense - Part 5\n Luke 14:1\n 10\/02\/2026\n\n\n 1 One Sabbath, when he went to dine at the house of\n a ruler of the Pharisees, they were watching him\n carefully. (ESV)\n\n This week our prayer is for God to grant us the ability to\n overcome the temptations of the devil, the world, and our own\n sinful flesh. Our desire is to have no gods other than the one\n True God, the Triune God, in whom we put our trust.\n Lord, we implore You, grant Your people grace to\n withstand the temptations of the devil and with pure\n hearts and minds to follow You, the only God.\n\n\n The Lord said through Moses, ``Remember the Sabbath day to\n keep it holy.'' This is a day of rest, a day when we can take\n time to hear God's Word, to remember His rich blessings, to set\n aside the cares of this world because He has showered us with His\n rich blessings.\n\n ``One Sabbath, when [Jesus] went to dine at the house\n of a ruler of the Pharisees, they were watching him\n carefully.''\n\n\n The Sabbath day regulations which were observed by the\n Pharisees were built more on tradition than on God's Word. These\n regulations became a burden rather than a joy.\n\n Sunday should, for us, be a day of rest, a day when we take\n the time to hear God's Word, to receive His gifts of grace,\n mercy, and love for the sake of the suffering, death, and\n resurrection of Jesus Christ. It should not be a burden to\n gather at His invitation in His house to be given the forgiveness\n of our sins and the promise of life everlasting.\n\n Please join us this Sunday at 9:00 a.m. at Trinity Lutheran\n Church as we are privileged to gather around God's Word and the\n Sacraments. Come and hear that your sins are forgiven for\n Christ's sake, that you have been healed of your transgressions.\n God grant this for Jesus' sake. Amen.\n<\/code><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"October 2, 2026 Broadcast Pretense – Part 5 Luke 14:1 10\/02\/2026 1 One Sabbath, when he went to dine at the house of a ruler of the Pharisees, they were … Continue reading “Pretense – Part 5”<\/span><\/a><\/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-5299","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\/5299","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=5299"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5299\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5300,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5299\/revisions\/5300"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5299"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5299"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5299"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
