Sermon for Second Sunday of Easter
[Machine transcription] Christ is risen. He has risen indeed. In the name of Jesus. Amen. Dear Saints, it’s evening on the first Easter and ten of the twelve are gathered in the upper room and they’ve locked the door. They’ve barred it shut because they are afraid. They are afraid that what happened to Jesus will also happen to them. They’re afraid…
Sermon for Easter Sunday
[Machine transcription] Christ is risen. He is risen indeed. In the name of Jesus. Amen. Dear Saints of God, death is not natural. It is not an inevitable part of living in this world. It is not the great circle of life, like the Lion King would have us believe. Death is not what happens to everyone; at least, that’s not how God intended it. The Bible comes and…
Sermon for Good Friday
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear Saints, there are seven words, seven sermons that Jesus preaches from the pulpit of the cross. The Gospel of John gave us three of them. In a minute we’ll hear all of them in a row, and I want to meditate briefly on these seven words that Jesus preaches. To put it in context, we’ll remember that…
Sermon for Maundy Thursday
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear Saints of God, 3,466 years ago tonight, the Lord commanded Moses to go to the people and celebrate a meal, the Passover meal. They were to kill the lamb and keep the blood. They were to roast it. They were to cook bread unleavened. They didn’t have time to let the bread rise, and they were to put the blood on…
Sermon for Palm Sunday
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear Saints of God, Zechariah, when he prophesied that the King will come into Jerusalem, righteous and having salvation, says that he’ll be humble and mounted on a donkey and goes on to promise, “I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim and the war horse from Jerusalem, and the battle bow shall be cut off,…
Sermon for Fifth Sunday in Lent
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear Saints, prepare your hearts, for we will in a few minutes stand and confess our faith. We will renounce the devil and all his works and all his ways. We will recommit ourselves to attending to the Lord’s word and the services of the Lord’s house, and we will promise before God and the angels and one…
Sermon for Fourth Sunday in Lent
[Machine transcription] For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have life eternal. You may be seated. In the name of Jesus, Amen. Dear Saints, those words from the Gospel are so familiar to us that what I’d like to do is just take a look first at the Gospel and try to notice a few things that we…
Sermon for Third Sunday in Lent
[Machine transcription] And Jesus made a whip of cords and drove them out of the temple. You may be seated. In the name of Jesus, Amen. Whenever we speak of the sinlessness of Jesus, there’s always a couple of incidences that are brought up to question the point. If Jesus was truly sinless, then why did he run away from his parents when he was 12 years old in the…
Sermon for Second Sunday in Lent
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus. Amen. Lord, let at last thine angels come to Abram’s bosom, bear me home, that I may die unfearing. Dear Saints, we think of today, of life and of death. And maybe more specifically, we want to think of our own life. I want you to think of your life and your death. You are all currently alive. I’m just checking.…
Sermon for First Sunday in Lent
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear Saints of God, with might of ours can nothing be done. Soon our loss would be effected. But for us fights the valiant one chosen by God. You ask who this is? Jesus, who fights for you to keep you and to bless you, and to give you all that you need. Jesus Christ it is, Lord of hosts, the Valiant One. If we can…
