God’s Plan of Redemption Trumps Earthly Destruction and Violence 

There are signs of the Lord’s coming all around: the cross that marks His Church, the violence and death of the sinful world, and the shaking of the natural order. “There will be great distress upon the earth” (Luke 21:23), but the faithful know that “the kingdom of God is near” (Luke 21:31). Therefore, “straighten up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing near” (Luke 21:28). Be awake and alert, and heed the words of Christ, which “will not pass away” (Luke 21:33). For you, “the sun of righteousness shall rise with healing in its wings” (Mal. 4:2). He sends His preachers of repentance in the spirit and power of Elijah “before the great and awesome day of the LORD comes” (Mal. 4:5), in order to “direct your hearts to the love of God and to the steadfastness of Christ” (2 Thess. 3:5). Although you are often faithless, “the Lord is faithful,” and by the preaching of His Word “he will establish you and guard you against the evil one” (2 Thess. 3:3). Therefore, “do not grow weary in doing good” (2 Thess. 3:13). In the midst of calamity, believe upon the Lord, Jesus Christ.

📰 Trinity Times: November 2025 Highlights & Events

Newsletter/Resources | Trinity Lutheran Church
www.trinityatchison.org/newsletter

Welcome to November! As the Church Year draws to a close, we look forward to a busy month of community events, spiritual focus, and preparation for the Advent season. Here are the highlights from The Trinity Times newsletter.

A Word of Comfort: The Last Judgment

Pastor Jacob Dandy encourages us to look forward to the Day of Judgment not with fear, but with great comfort.

  • This is the day when our Lord Jesus Christ will return in glory to make all things new and vindicate His people.
  • The same Christ who bore our sentence on the cross is the one who will sit on the throne of judgment.
  • For those in Christ, the judgment is a public declaration of what faith already knows: "There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus" (Romans 8:1).
  • Ultimately, the Last Judgment is a day to long for, when our faith will become sight and Christ's mercy will shine openly for all to see.
