Welcome back to the Basin and Towel podcast! I’m your host, Pastor Chris Cahill. I live in Lodi, Ohio, where last year I retired from 45 years of pastoral ministry.
In my retirement I’ve been preaching in several congregations of our Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod - this episode is the sermon I preached on Holy Trinity Sunday, May 31, 2026, at St John Lutheran Church in Garfield Heights, Ohio.
The calendar of the Christian Church counts fifty days after Easter and marks that Sunday as Pentecost, the celebration of the coming of the Holy Spirit to Jesus’ disciples (Acts 2). In that calendar the very next Sunday is Holy Trinity Sunday, when we remind ourselves and others that the God who has revealed Himself to us in the Holy Bible is one God, but three Persons - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.As Christians, we also have three Creeds (or statements of what we believe) that help us to believe, understand, and teach the Christian faith. These are the Apostles’ Creed, the Nicene Creed, and the Athanasian Creed.
As Lutheran Christians, we also have Martin Luther’s “explanation” of the Apostles’ Creed from his Small Catechism, which he wrote to try to help us learn and teach and tell what our life is like with this Three-Person God. That’s the focus of this sermon.
During this sermon, I “quoted” Martin Luther’s explanation of the Apostles’ Creed, which he wrote in German. I learned a particular English translation sixty years ago, but it has changed a bit here and there over the years. You can find the English translation that is currently used in The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod at https://catechism.cph.org/en/creed.html
By the way, a number of people at St John Lutheran Church came out of this worship service and commented that they also remembered learning that explanation when they were young, and that they were (quietly) reciting the words along with me during the sermon. Sometimes it’s good to be reminded of what we have known so long!
