Catechesis on Second-Last Sunday (Matthew 25:31-46)

On Wednesday nights, Trinity Lutheran Church(Herrin, IL) offers to both children and adults an opportunity for teaching with Learn-by-Heart at 6:30 PM and a catechetical service at 7:00.

In this video from November 15, 2017, we learned stanza 2-3 of “O Bride of Christ, Rejoice” (The Lutheran Hymnal, #57), the fourth petition of the Lord’s Prayer and meaning from Luther’s Small Catechism.  This service is designed to prepare God’s people for the theme of the upcoming Sunday Divine Service.  The dialog sermon explains Jesus’ teaching on the sheep and the goats (St. Matthew 25:31-46, which is the Holy Gospel for the Second-Last Sunday in the Church Year.

The service concludes with “Recite Word by Word” (pdf link below).  [Length: 1 hour, 4 minutes.   Note: the video caption says “Third-Last…,”
but it really is “Second-last….”]
