First Sunday in Lent March 9, 2025 - “Jesus is Triumphant!”

Bulletin: https://bit.ly/shepherdak20250309 Service & Hymns: https://bit.ly/shepherdak20250309_Ser... Our Great Deliverer defeats Satan and secures our salvation. First Lesson – Deuteronomy 26:5-10 Moses reminds God’s people of God’s actions on their behalf. He especially points out their deliverance from the misery, toil and oppression they had experienced in the land of Egypt. Thanksgiving for such blessings lead them to worship the Lord and to bring him the first fruits of their crops. Psalm Song of the Day – 821 Psalm 91 “On Eagle’s Wings” Second Lesson – Romans 10:8b-13 God’s Word proclaims to us the good news of salvation and works faith in our hearts through which we are saved. This faith expresses itself through an outward confession of faith in Jesus as our Lord and Savior. Gospel Lesson – Matthew 4:1-11 Jesus begins his ministry by battling with the devil. The devil confronts him with three temptations. Each time Jesus uses God’s Word to defeat Satan. Jesus’ victory over Satan started here and ended in complete and total victory on the cross. Thanks be to God for our Champion, the Lord Jesus Christ!
