Sermon for Sixth Sunday after Epiphany
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear saints of God, we are fearing and loving and trusting people. In fact, that’s kind of a tautology. We are people, and that means that we are fearing and loving and trusting. That’s what we were created to do by God in the garden. In fact, that’s what it means to be created in the image of God, that…
Sermon for Fourth Sunday after Epiphany
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen, dear saints of God, we have before us such a marvelous text. I just want to confess to you that I could not pick one text to preach on, so this is what I’m going to try today. I’ve never tried it before, except this morning, and that is I’m going to try to preach four little mini short sermons. In fact,…
Sermon for Third Sunday after Epiphany
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus. Amen. Dear Saints, it’s nice, I think, to hear in the text, in the ancient Word of God, the people doing just exactly what we’re doing today. They gather together, this was in Nehemiah chapter 8, they gather together, they had built the walls, they’re working on rebuilding the temple, and they get together…
Sermon for Second Sunday after Epiphany
[Machine transcription] This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee, and manifested his glory, and his disciples believed in him. You may be seated. In the name of Jesus, Amen. Dear Saints, we have been speaking quite a bit about marriage lately, and there’s reason for that. The text invites us to it again today. I don’t want to say too many…
Sermon for The Baptism of Our Lord
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, Amen. Dear Saints, Jesus goes to be baptized by John. And John looks at Jesus and says, You don’t need this. I should be baptized by you, and you come to be baptized by me. John was baptizing for the forgiveness of sins, and Jesus never sinned. He never did anything wrong. He didn’t need to have sins washed away.…
Sermon for Epiphany
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear saints, we, you and I, we Christians, we worship Jesus. This is what sets us apart from the world. It’s what sets us apart even from our own sin, from death, from the devil. This is what gives us hope. It’s what gives us peace in the world. We worship Jesus. Yesterday I was visiting with someone. Then…
Sermon for Second Sunday of Christmas
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear Saints of God, we want to meditate on the great mysteries in this text. How, for example, can Jesus, who is both God and man, how can Jesus learn and grow in wisdom if he knows all things? Or this question, did Jesus sin in staying in Jerusalem at the temple while his parents thought he was with them on the way…
Sermon for the Feast of Stephen
[Machine transcription] And Stephen said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God. You may be seated. In the name of Jesus, Amen. Dear Saints of God, Merry Christmas, and God be praised that Jesus coming in our flesh gives us such hope, such peace, such joy and comfort. But it’s a little bit shocking, I think, to come…
Sermon for Christmas Day
[Machine transcription] Amen. Dear Saints of God, Merry Christmas. And may the Lord grant you that joy and that peace that comes from the incarnation of Jesus in your flesh and blood, and the peace and the kindness that He gives to us. These words that we’ve heard from John chapter 1 are some of the most sublime and wonderful words that bring to us this mystery of…
Sermon for Christmas Eve (late)
[Machine transcription] And when the shepherds saw it, they made known the saying that had been told them concerning this child. You may be seated. In the name of Jesus, Amen. Dear Saints, Merry Christmas, and in the name of Jesus, may the Holy Spirit open our ears and hearts to rejoice in the good tidings of great joy that the angels had for the shepherds on the first…
