Sermon for Third Sunday of Easter
[Machine transcription] Christ is risen. He is risen indeed. Hallelujah. In the name of Jesus. Amen. Dear Saints, a few words about this text, The Road to Emmaus, and then a few, maybe really one reflection on what Jesus is doing for us here in the text.

The Seven Words from the Cross
[Machine transcription] The seven words from the cross, the first word from Luke chapter 23.

Sermon for Lent Midweek 5
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, Amen. First, we want to distinguish between three kinds of suffering that Jesus accomplished for us on the cross. The first is physical. The agony of the cross is an excruciating agony. So bitter is the death on the cross that as soon as there was a Christian who was emperor of Rome, Constantine, he immediately outlawed it.…
Sermon for 5th Sunday in Lent
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, Amen. Dear Saints, the basis of the Christian faith are these. We live in faith towards God, we live in love toward our neighbor, and we abide in hope for the life to come.

[Machine transcription] Jesus says, if you were blind, you would have no guilt. But now that you say, we see, your guilt remains. Amen. In the name of Jesus, amen.
