Eighth Sunday after Pentecost
Sermon for Eighth Sunday after Pentecost
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. To brothers and sisters in Christ, with Jesus of Nazareth standing right before him, I can see Pontius Pilate immediately snapping back with the words, “What is truth? What is truth?” Our Lord Jesus had just answered the previous question where he was asked, “So, you are a king?” For Jesus had said, “You say that…
Sermon for Eighth Sunday after Pentecost
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, Amen. Dear Saints of God, we consider today the Epistle lesson from Romans chapter 8, the words of God through the Apostle Paul, talking about our suffering as Christians. It is, and here’s a way into the text, at least. This is the text that I will use when I get the question from the confirmands: Pastor, why do animals…
Sermon for Eighth Sunday after Pentecost
[Machine transcription] Jesus says, take care, be on your guard against all covetousness. For one’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions. You may be seated.

Sermon for Eighth Sunday after Pentecost
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear Catherine, God be praised that though you are dead, that’s how Paul talks about us today in the text—we are dead in trespasses and sins, and yet the Lord has made us alive in Christ for you and for all the baptized, be raised from the dead through the waters of holy baptism. Paul says, don’t you know…
The Value of You
[Machine transcription] Grace, mercy, and peace to you from God our Father, and from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen. I think it’s safe to say that people like high-value items. For example, the TV show Antiques Roadshow. People have old items, antiques even, and they bring them to somebody to be appraised, first hoping that they have value or maybe are even…
Your Barn Isn’t Big Enough
[Machine transcription] Jesus says, “Take care, be on your guard against all covetousness, for one’s life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.” You may be seated. In the name of Jesus, Amen. Dear Saints, The Lord is not against us having stuff. When you become a Christian, it is not required that you take a vow of poverty. After all, the…
Go, Proclaim Me to the World
[Machine transcription] Grace, mercy, and peace be to you from God our Father and from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen. Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, the text is the story of Amos in the Old Testament reading with references to the epistle and gospel. You may be seated. So what do you think about this saying? Our Lord delights to call the humble to high…
It Is Invaluable, Isn’t It?
[Machine transcription] Will you pray with me? Each day, at His good pleasure, God’s gracious will is done. He sent His greatest treasure in Jesus Christ, His Son. He, every gift, imparts. The bread of earth and heaven are by His kindness given. Praise Him with thankful hearts. In the name of Jesus, amen. Grace, mercy, and peace be to you from God our Father, and…
You Are the Man
[Machine transcription] Grace, mercy, and peace be to you from God our Father and from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen. Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, the text comes from the Gospel reading regarding the parable of the Good Samaritan. You may be seated. This is probably one of Jesus’ most well-known parables, but I want to ask you a question to…
The Food that Satisfies
[Machine transcription] Grace, mercy, and peace be unto you from God our Father and from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen. Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, a text for this morning comes from the Gospel reading, The Feeding of the Five Thousand. You may be seated. There’s probably not one of you who have not heard of The Feeding of the Five Thousand. Part…
