  1. Pastor Michael Zarling

    Welcome to this week's THIRSTY podcast. I'm Pastor Michael Zarling.

  2. Pastor Nathan Klusmeyer

    And I'm Pastor Nathan Klusmeyer.

  3. Pastor Michael Zarling

    And Nathan, we're talking today about wounds that heal. Those who exalt themselves will be humbled. Uh-

  4. Pastor Nathan Klusmeyer

    That's a good theme for you.

  5. Pastor Michael Zarling

    It is. Uh, and so the, the hymns I, I chose, uh, Jesus Sinners Does Receive. You've got that one?

  6. Pastor Nathan Klusmeyer

    I do not.

  7. Pastor Michael Zarling

    You don't? Okay. 'Cause I picked that one-

  8. Pastor Nathan Klusmeyer

    Mm-hmm

  9. Pastor Michael Zarling

    ... because of the confession and absolution. Uh, you know, I like the humility in verse five, "I, a sinner, come to you." The hymn of the day, Son of God, Eternal Savior, they're focusing on Jesus' humility and coming to us-

  10. Pastor Nathan Klusmeyer

    Yeah

  11. Pastor Michael Zarling

    ... and for us. Uh-

  12. Pastor Nathan Klusmeyer

    That one I have.

  13. Pastor Michael Zarling

    Yep. And then Soul, Adorn Yourself With Gladness.

  14. Pastor Nathan Klusmeyer

    Nope.

  15. Pastor Michael Zarling

    And you know, that one I have, even though it's not a communion Sunday, it's a communion hymn, but, uh, there, uh, you know, again, that humility. And then, uh, because in verse four it says, "Now I kneel before you lowly." And then finishing with the last few verses of Jesus Do- Sinners Does Receive. How about you?

  16. Pastor Nathan Klusmeyer

    We have Lord, Help Us Walk Your Servant Way.

  17. Pastor Michael Zarling

    Oh.

  18. Pastor Nathan Klusmeyer

    Um, Blessed Are They, Arise Oh Christian People, and then, and because it's a fifth Sunday, We Give Thee But Thine Own.

  19. Pastor Michael Zarling

    Are you, are you gonna remember to sing it?

  20. Pastor Nathan Klusmeyer

    Yes.

  21. Pastor Michael Zarling

    Okay.

  22. Pastor Nathan Klusmeyer

    That's in, it is in the service folder.

  23. Pastor Michael Zarling

    Okay.

  24. Pastor Nathan Klusmeyer

    So...

  25. Pastor Michael Zarling

    I just know that, I, I'm laughing because I know the, the last time we, I was there and we did it-

  26. Pastor Nathan Klusmeyer

    Nope

  27. Pastor Michael Zarling

    ... that we didn't-

  28. Pastor Nathan Klusmeyer

    No, I'm into it

  29. Pastor Michael Zarling

    ... whoever, you or I, that was leading the service totally forgot it.

  30. Pastor Nathan Klusmeyer

    No, it was the, I'm, I'm pretty sure it was the or- and you're never supposed to say this, but I'm pretty sure it was our organist just, just kept going. I'm like, "All right."
