Sermon for Sixth Sunday after Pentecost
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear Sophia, Jeremiah, and all the baptized, I was working on the texts for the sermon today. I was praying and I was, in some ways, complaining slightly to the Lord. And I said, Lord, how can I possibly teach all of these texts to your people? The sermon is so short. And I would love to tell you that a voice came from…
Sermon for Fifth Sunday after Pentecost
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus. Amen. Dear Saints, the Lord Jesus is with the disciples and with us in the boat in the midst of the storm. But he’s asleep. And the disciples cry out, Lord, don’t you care that we’re perishing? Jesus never answers the question. But he does stand up in the middle of the boat and rebuke the wind and the waves.…
Sermon for Fourth Sunday after Pentecost
[Machine transcription] Jesus says, with what can we compare the kingdom of God? You may be seated. In the name of Jesus, Amen. Dear saints, it is surprising to me that Jesus asks, well, it’s not surprising that he asks this question. The surprise is how he answers. He’s sitting on a boat and he’s teaching, and he’s teaching parables about the…
Sermon for The Holy Trinity
[Machine transcription] For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. You may be seated. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Amen. Dear Saints, when someone asks you, what do you believe as a Christian? Or what sets a Christian apart? What is it that the Christian…
Sermon for Pentecost
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear Saints, and especially to the dear confirmands, I want to see if I can find you. Ashley, Christian, Allie, I think I saw, there’s Allie. Bailey, I’m preaching to you guys, there’s Bailey. Kay, I saw Kay. Caroline, and you, Yang. We rejoice together with you that you will confess the Lord’s…
Sermon for the Ascension of Our Lord
[Machine transcription] When Jesus had said these things, as they were looking on, He was lifted up, and a cloud took them out of His sight. You may be seated. Christ is risen. He has risen indeed, hallelujah. Risen and ascended in all for us, that’s what we delight in tonight, dear saints, on the 1,991st anniversary of the Ascension. But, I think that the important…
Sermon for Sixth Sunday of Easter
[Machine transcription] Christ is risen. He is risen indeed. Alleluia. In the name of Jesus. Amen. Dear Saints, this morning I want to explore this preaching of Jesus from John 15, but before I close the hymnal, I want to point out one little line from Luther. It’s in stanza 6. It’s a theme that runs through the ancient church and it comes up all the time in…
Sermon for Fifth Sunday of Easter
[Machine transcription] Christ is risen, he is risen indeed, hallelujah. I am the true vine, says Jesus, and my father is the vinedresser. You may be seated. In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear saints, what comes to mind when I hear that phrase, I am the vine, I almost automatically fill in the second phrase. I don’t know if this happens in your imagination as well. I…
Sermon for Fourth Sunday of Easter
[Machine transcription] Christ is risen. He has risen indeed. Hallelujah. In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear Steve and all the baptized, the Lord Jesus has you as one of his sheep, which seems at first to be nice until we start to think more and more about what it means to be a sheep. I’m told by the people who know these kind of things that sheep don’t have a…
Sermon for Easter Sunday
[Machine transcription] Christ is risen. He is risen indeed. Alleluia. In the name of the risen Jesus Christ. Amen. Dear saints, it is a wonder that God the Holy Spirit has gathered us into this room today in the conviction that something that happened 1,991 years ago in a small little corner of the world, in a garden, in a little cave, a little tomb, that something that…
