Sermon for Good Friday Tenebrae
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear Saints of God, I was recently visiting with someone who told me that they once heard a sermon in which the following line was spoken, there is no place in the house of God for those who have been divorced. They told me that when they heard that they didn’t stop coming to church, but every time that they came…
Sermon for Palm Sunday
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus. Amen. Hosanna in the highest. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. To Holland and to all the baptized, you have a different kind of king. A king is put into office and we call that their coronation or their exaltation. And that’s exactly what our Lord Jesus is talking about in the gospel lesson today in John…
Sermon for Fifth Sunday in Lent
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, Amen. Dear Saints, Jesus and his disciples are not on the same page. In fact, in the Gospel reading, they’re headed in opposite directions. Their minds are on opposite things. Jesus is leading them into Jerusalem, but it even says that the disciples are hanging back and they’re afraid. They know what’s…
Sermon for Fourth Sunday in Lent
[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. You may be seated. Dear Henry the Baptized, and all the Lord’s baptized people, the Lord was trying to explain to Nicodemus on this night how baptism could do such great works, how baptism…
Sermon for Lent Midweek 1
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear saints, we are about 15 hours before our Lord breathes his last and dies on the cross. It is Holy Thursday. The disciples have traveled with Jesus to Jerusalem, something that they were nervous about doing for weeks and weeks. Remember, Jesus had to talk them into going even to Bethany to rescue Lazarus.…
Sermon for First Sunday in Lent
[Machine transcription] The Spirit immediately drove him out into the wilderness, and Jesus was in the wilderness forty days, being tempted by Satan. You may be seated. In the name of Jesus, Amen.

Sermon for Ash Wednesday
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear Saints of God, the two most important things for us to know are also the two most difficult things for us to know. And they are these. First, you are a sinner who deserves the wrath of God. And second, you have a Savior Savior, who has endured that wrath for you.” Now we’re going to explore the…
Sermon for Fifth Sunday after Epiphany
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear saints, we pick up today where we left off last week. Jesus was in the synagogue in Capernaum. He had cast out the unclean spirit from the man and delivered him and finished his sermon, his preaching there, made sure that the demon didn’t preach in church. And then they leave the synagogue and they go down the…
Sermon for Fourth Sunday after Epiphany
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear saints, who is your enemy? I want to lean into that today. In fact, I want to take a couple steps back and we’re working around this gospel text of Mark chapter 1 where, and really the whole of the chapter 1 where the Lord is laying out what Jesus is coming to do, the wrongs he’s making right, the ills…
Sermon for Third Sunday after Epiphany
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear saints, we have today in the Old Testament lesson Jonah chapter 3, the middle of the book of Jonah, and in fact what I think is the â it’s important, it’s an important part, but maybe the most normal part of the book of Jonah. What I’d like to do is think about the entirety of Jonah this morning…
