Sermon for Second Sunday after Epiphany
[Machine transcription] John said, “Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.” You may be seated. In the name of Jesus, Amen. Dear Saints, we go to the River Jordan again today to hear this preaching of John. Some of the last preaching that we’ll hear of John, but his most glorious preaching. Because he preaches with his finger as well…
Sermon for the Baptism of Our Lord
[Machine transcription] I don’t know how it is, dear saints, in your mind when you picture the baptism of Jesus, but I always think of John the Baptist, this old, grisly man with his big, gray beard and crazy hair standing there in the middle of the Jordan River. I have to remember that he was only 30 years old, maybe 31. Jesus was 30. And Jesus comes down to him as…
Sermon for the Epiphany of Our Lord
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear saints, a blessed epiphany to you as we celebrate how the Lord Jesus reveals himself also to the Gentiles. And we remember tonight how the Lord sent the wise men from the east to find the child Jesus in the home in Bethlehem and fall down and worship him. Now, this story, this biblical history, has always, to me,…
Sermon for Christmas Day
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. Merry Christmas, dear saints, and may God grant us in this Christmastide, in this feast of the Lord’s incarnation, his joy and his peace. Especially dear Maddox, the baptized, it was about 2,024 years ago that Jesus was your size. Can you imagine that? He was held in the hands of his mother Mary; his stepfather…
Sermon for Christmas Eve
[Machine transcription] The angel said to them, “Fear not, behold, I bring you good news of a great joy that will be for all people.” You may be seated. In the name of Jesus, Amen. Dear Saints of God, Merry Christmas and happy, as far as I can tell, the 2024th anniversary of the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ in the flesh, who has gathered us here so that we…
Sermon for Fourth Sunday of Advent
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear saints, the problem is bigger than you think and the solution is smaller than you think. That’s what I want to talk about today. But I want to look at the text to get there. Matthew chapter 1 is an amazing, amazing text, an amazing bit of history of salvation. It’s when already Mary, the mother of our…
Sermon for Second Sunday of Advent
[Machine transcription] In those days John the Baptist came preaching in the wilderness of Judea saying, “Repent.” You may be seated. In the name of Jesus, Amen. Dear Saints of God, this is the first word and perhaps the best summary of the preaching of John the Baptist. Repent! The kingdom of heaven is at hand. And then Matthew tells us, Mark and Luke too,…
Sermon for First Sunday of Advent
[Machine transcription] As were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. You may be seated. Dear Novak, the baptized, and to all the Lord’s baptized children, we rejoice that our Lord Jesus Christ tells us that he is coming in glory to judge the living and the dead. But why do we have that text today? The first Sunday of the church year, the first…
Sermon for Twenty-Third Sunday after Pentecost
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, Amen. Dear Saints, one time I saw a bumper sticker that said, “Jesus is coming, look busy.” That is the wrong idea. Why does Jesus let us know that He’s coming again in glory? To frighten us? To make us live our days in terror and…
Sermon for All Saints Sunday
[Machine transcription] See what kind of love the Father has given to us that we should be called the children of God. You may be seated. In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, dear Saints of God, when we hear that word, when you hear that word, what do you think of? Saint. There’s a lot of things that we could think of, a lot of…
