Sermon for Fifth Sunday after Epiphany
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. Your saints today will meditate on the mystery of Jesus’ prayer. On the way there, I want to pick up the last couple of verses of Isaiah. Isaiah 40 is an amazing chapter, and at the end of that chapter, he gives this promise. He says, “Even youths shall faint and be weary, young men will fall exhausted; but they…
Obedient Demons
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear Sidney, today we rejoice to welcome you to the fellowship of our Lord’s altar, where he gives us his own body and blood for the forgiveness of all of our sins. What a delight for all of us to come to the Lord’s Supper, where Jesus gives himself to us, all of himself to us. There’s a question about…
Sermon for Third Sunday after Epiphany
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear Saints, I want to consider this call of the Apostles, but first, just a quick word about Jonah. Can you believe Jonah, who doesn’t want to go to Nineveh? He says that here in the beginning of the text, the word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time. That’s because the first time the word of the Lord…
Sermon for Second Sunday after Epiphany
[Machine transcription] Nathaniel said to Philip, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.” You may be seated. In the name of Jesus, Amen.

Sermon for The Baptism of Our Lord
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear saints of God, we rejoice this day that Jesus sits enthroned as king forever. That’s the words from the gradual, Psalm 29, verse 10, and we should rejoice. It was a tumultuous week this week. It’s been a tumultuous year this year. Things are not always good. There’s a lot of distress, a lot of…
Sermon for Epiphany
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear Saints of God, the Lord promised to Abraham that in his seed all the nations would be blessed. All the nations, not just the Israelites. So these Gentile magi, these wise men, are the first fruits of the blessing to the nations, as the Lord makes known his glory, not only to the people of Israel, but to all the…
Sermon for Second Sunday of Christmas
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. We’re saints of God. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. We rejoice in another year of the Lord’s mercy, even as last year, no matter how the world would have us think of it, even though last year also was a year of the Lord’s mercy and kindness to us. The Lord bringing us through, the Lord blessing us,…
Sermon for First Sunday of Christmas
[Machine transcription] Simeon took up the child Jesus in his arms and blessed God and said, “Lord, now you are letting your servant depart in peace according to your word.” Amen. You may be seated. In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear Saints, I think the first time I was able to connect a liturgical dot, it was with this song of Simeon, which we sing after the…
Sermon for Christmas Day
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear Saints, Merry Christmas, and God be praised that we are here this day to sing the praises of Jesus and to meditate on this great mystery, His incarnation in the flesh. It’s stunning to imagine that the Lord’s humiliation is still too high for us to contemplate. Now, I don’t know, as we heard from…

[Machine transcription] And she gave birth to her firstborn son, and wrapped him in swaddling clothes, and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn. You may be seated.
