FIFTH SUNDAY OF EASTER (Cantate)

Isaiah 12:1–6

James 1:16–21

John 16:5–15

Jesus Promises to Send His Holy Spirit, the Helper

Though Jesus has departed from us visibly to the right hand of the Father who sent Him, yet this is to our advantage. For Jesus—who is Lord over all creation, who intercedes for us before the Father, who is preparing a place for us in heaven—has sent the Helper, the Spirit of Truth (John 16:5–15). “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights” through Jesus Christ (James 1:17). The Holy Spirit helps us by taking what is Christ’s and declaring it to us. In the Word of truth, the Spirit works repentance and delivers to us the forgiveness of sins, the righteousness of Christ, and victory over the devil. For the ruler of this world is judged and defeated by the cross. Through the ministry of the Holy Spirit, we have been brought forth to new life in Him who is the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. Confident of our resurrection with Christ we confess, “Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and will not be afraid” (Is. 12:2).

Bible memory work

We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life. (Romans 6:4)

Our church is a member of the Lutheran Church – Missouri Synod.  With the universal Christian Church, the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod teaches and responds to the love of the Triune God:  the Father, creator of all that exists; Jesus Christ, the Son, who became human to suffer and die for the sins of all human beings and to rise to life again in the ultimate victory over death and Satan; and the Holy Spirit, who creates faith through God’s Word and Sacraments.  The three person of the Trinity are co-equal and co-eternal, on God.

Our congregation accepts and preaches the Bible-based teachings of Martin Luther that inspired the reformation of the Christian Church in the 16th century.  The teachings of Luther and the reformers can be summarized in three phrases:  Grace along, Faith alone, Scripture alone.

We are a committed group of Christians who ;

(1) gather together to worship, praise, and thank our God for the gift of forgiveness, salvation, and eternal life given to us through the life, death, and resurrection of His Son Jesus Christ; and

(2) scatter to share with our neighbor that the message of mercy, life, and hope is not confined to a group of people in a building, rather it is Good News for all people.

We are located at 407 W Jackson Ave, directly across the street from the University of Mississippi at the intersection of Jackson Avenue West and Rebel Drive. The entrance to the church parking lot is a small blacktop driveway approximately 30 feet east of the intersection. It may not look like it, but this drive takes you up the hill to the church’s parking lot. It can be hard to see.
