Sermon for Maundy Thursday
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, Amen. Dear Saints, On this day, 3,466 years ago, the Lord appointed a feast.

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.

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.

Sermon for Lent Midweek 4
[Machine transcription] Then they led Jesus from the house of Caiaphas to the governor’s headquarters. In the name of Jesus, Amen. Dear saints, first, it’s going to be all right.

Sermon for 4th Sunday in Lent
[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. Dear Saints, what an absolutely stunning text, John chapter 9, that’s set before us today. I want to point out how this text both begins and ends with questions to Jesus and…
Sermon for Lent Midweek 2
[Machine transcription] Jesus said, “My soul is very sorrowful even unto death. Remain here and watch with me.” And going a little farther, He fell on His face and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me. Nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.” Amen. You may be seated. In the name of Jesus, Amen. Dear saints,…
Nic at Night
[Machine transcription] Jesus says, as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in Him may have eternal life. Amen. You may be seated. In the name of Jesus, Amen. Amen. Dear saints, Jesus is giving Nicodemus quite a lesson in the text, quite a sermon. In fact, the more I look at the text, the more I’m…
Sermon for Lent Midweek 1
[Machine transcription] Now before the feast of the Passover, when Jesus knew that His hour had come to depart out of this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end.

Temptation
[Machine transcription] Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. You may be seated. In the name of Jesus, Amen. Dear Saints, the question is often asked, it’s often asked to me. Why in the world did the Lord build that tree in the first place? What is the tree of the knowledge of good and evil doing in the midst of the…
