April 5, 2026, Resurrection of Our Lord, Easter Sunday

A New Life Has Begun!

“When Christ who is your life is revealed, then you also will be revealed with him in glory.” Colossians 3:4

Easter is a time of worship, renewal, and surprises. Kids all over the world will hunt for Easter eggs, treats and gifts. More people attend church services on Easter than on any other Sunday. Many of us will celebrate Easter with a big family event, usually including a wonderful meal.

Easter is a time when we celebrate new life in the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The Apostle Paul tells us “Anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!”

I challenge you (and me), with God’s help, to make a new start this Easter season. Commit to daily prayer and devotion. Replace those old feelings of stress or despair with the joy and hope of new life in Christ’s resurrection. Be more forgiving
And don’t forget to forgive yourself, either. Cultivate gratitude. Keep this up and you will soon find that your new life in Christ has already begun!

Let’s Pray: Lord Jesus Christ, you are risen! I turn my entire life over to you. Let my new life begin! Amen.

God’s richest blessing to all who have followed our Lenten Devotions this year. It is our privilege to have you as fellow journeyers with Christ.

Grace and peace be with you till we meet again!

Mortality

“But mortals die and are laid low; humans expire, and where are they?” Job 14:10

Few of us look forward to death with cheeriness; and, if we’re honest, the idea of dying is kind of frightening. Old or young, most of us want more good time right here on earth. Why do we have to die, anyway? My best answer is because God made us human, people of the earth. We are mortal. Our bodies wear out over time and death is the natural end to life.

Job knew about despair. He knew about the reality of the grave. But Job also knew about the reality of God. This knowledge prompted him to declare, “I know that my redeemer lives, and that in the end he will stand on the earth. And after my skin has been destroyed, yet in my flesh I will see God.”

Holy Saturday reminds us God works even in the darkness. Even when hope is hidden it is not gone. Death does not have the final word.

Let’s Pray: Lord, I trust in you to bring new life out of the darkness. Amen.

April 3, 2026, Good Friday

Ten Thousand Angels

“Put away your sword,” Jesus told him. “Those who live by the sword will die by the sword. Don’t you realize that I could ask my Father for thousands of angels to protect us, and he would send them instantly?” Matthew 26:52-53

I’m sorry to report that tonight’s Good Friday Service at Almont has been cancelled due to a winter storm. We had planned a Tenebrae Service on the seven last words of Christ that would have been led mainly by our confirmation students.

Tenebrae is Latin for “darkness” or “shadows.” Our Good Friday Tenebrae Service includes seven bible readings and devotions on Jesus’ last words followed by extinguishing candles until the church is left in shadows and darkness.

Our Service traditionally begins with the singing of a hymn, written by Ray Overholt in 1959, called Ten Thousand Angels. This is the chorus.

He could have called ten thousand angels
To destroy the world and set Him free.
He could have called ten thousand angels,
But He died alone, for you and me.

We celebrate Good Friday because Jesus chose to die for us rather than use his divine power to avoid suffering and death. Through God’s never-ending and sacrificial love for us, “Salvation’s wondrous plan was done.”

Let’s Pray: Lord Jesus, thank You for the sacrifice you made on the cross for my sins. Amen.

04/03/2026

Because of the upcoming winter storm, it is predicted that Almont could receive 6-12" of new snow accompanied by 20 mph winds, therefore tomorrow's Good Friday Worship has been cancelled. Please join us for Easter Worship at Sims at 10am on Sunday.

The Devil Made Me Do It

“The devil had already decided that Judas son of Simon Iscariot would betray Jesus.”
John 13:2

When Jesus Christ Superstar came out in 1971, the title song, Superstar, was on the radio all the time. The teachers at the Lutheran school I attended told us kids not to listen. That just made us want to listen even more! Do you remember the lyrics?

“If you'd come today, you could have reached a whole nation. Israel in 4 BC had no mass communication. Don’t you get me wrong
 I only want to know: ‘Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ, who are you, what have you sacrificed?’” This was the song of Judas, along with a chorus of angels. In fact, Jesus Christ Superstar is a musical look at Jesus’ final days mainly through the eyes, ears and voice of Judas.

Judas betrayed Jesus and we will always remember him as a villain. But today’s bible verse reminds us the devil had already made the decision for Judas. Soon afterward, Judas was filled with terrible remorse for his actions. It seems ironic that Judas’ betrayal of Jesus led directly to the fateful and holy day we Christians remember as Good Friday.

Let’s Pray: Our Father in Heaven, lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. Amen.
