Sermon for Trinity
[Machine transcription] In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Amen. Dear Saints of God, no doubt on the screen that you are watching right now, you have also seen the news of the world falling apart: news of the pandemic bringing death and destruction, economic chaos, news of death and protests and riots in the street. On this same screen…
Sermon for Pentecost
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear Saints of God, Christ has died, Christ has risen, Christ has ascended and seated at the right hand of the Father, and Christ has sent forth his Holy Spirit as he promised. Now this is good. In fact, Jesus has been telling his disciples and us for the last few weeks and right before his crucifixion that it’s…
Sermon for Seventh Sunday of Easter
[Machine transcription] Christ is risen. He is risen indeed. Hallelujah. In the name of Jesus. Amen. Dear saints, a few days ago we celebrated the ascension of our Lord Jesus Christ, 40 days after his resurrection, when he ascended into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God the Father, where all kingdoms and powers and authorities are being placed under his feet,…
Sermon for Sixth Sunday of Easter
[Machine transcription] Christ is risen. He is risen indeed. Hallelujah. In the name of Jesus, Amen. Dear Saints of God, Jesus knows that it is best for us if we are Christians. He knows that it is best, that this is the best way to be alive, the best way to be a human being, and that is to be a follower of Jesus, to believe in him, to trust in him. Jesus knows. In fact,…
Sermon for Fifth Sunday of Easter
[Machine transcription] Christ is risen. He is risen indeed. Hallelujah. In the name of Jesus. Amen. Dear Saints of God, it’s almost too much in the text, John chapter 14, for us to cover in one sermon. There’s so much rich Trinitarian theology. Jesus says, “It’s enough if you’ve seen me, you’ve seen the Father,” to Philip.…
Sermon for Fourth Sunday of Easter
[Machine transcription] Christ is risen. He has risen indeed. Hallelujah. In the name of Jesus, Amen. Dear Saints, St. Peter says, “You were straying like sheep, but have now returned to the shepherd and overseer of your souls.” This picture of the shepherd with his sheep would have been very common in the ancient world, especially in Israel, especially around…
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 text takes us back to the very first Easter Sunday. The women had gone to the tomb, heard from the angels, and come…
Sermon for Second Sunday of Easter
[Machine transcription] Christ is risen. He has risen indeed. Alleluia. In the name of Jesus. Amen. Dear Saints of God, we have before us today this most beautiful text from John chapter 20, which tells us both of the first Easter evening and then one week later, both times Jesus appearing to his disciples as they were locked in the upper room. And both incidences are…
Sermon for Easter Sunday
[Machine transcription] Christ is risen. He has risen indeed. Alleluia. The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here. He has risen. As he said, ‘Come see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead.’” Amen. Amen, in the name of Jesus,…
The Seven Words from the Cross
[Machine transcription] The seven words from the cross, the first word from Luke chapter 23. And when they came to the place that is called the skull, there they crucified him, and the criminals, one on his right and one on his left. And Jesus said, Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do, and they cast lots to divide his garments. Amen. In the name of Jesus,…
