Join Nathan Hoff and Steve Turnbull for A Voice from the Sacristy. The watchword for the week comes from Psalm 51.10, and the Gospel reading is from John 12.20-33. The theme for this week is the freedom of a messenger taken from the second of six stanzas from the sacristy prayer at Ridderholmen Church in Stockholm, Sweden:
Truth be on thy lips,
for they are to keep the doctrine pure:
Love rule thy heart,
for thou art a messenger of grace;
Fortitude arm thy soul,
for thou bearest orders of the Great King.
Steve Turnbull is the pastor at Upper Arlington Lutheran Church in Columbus, Ohio and faculty at The Master’s Institute Seminary in St. Paul, MN.
