Easter 5 / Confirmation (May 18) I know that my Redeemer lives
Sermon by Pastor Bart Brauer
The center of our Christian faith is our Redeemer, his work of redemption, and the blessed results for us as the redeemed people of God. The greatest hope we have is our Redeemer’s return and the resurrection of our own bodies from death to everlasting life.
Today our church welcomes five boys as new communicant members. Redemption has been the center of their catechism studies, and they are encouraged – along with the rest of us – to remain in the conviction that “I know my Redeemer lives.”
