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 really the whole of chapter 1 is laying out what Jesus is coming to do: the wrongs He’s making right, the ills that He’s fixing,…
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. In fact, what I think is the – 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 and…
Sermon for Second Sunday after Epiphany
[Machine transcription] You were bought with a price. You may be seated. In the name of Jesus, Amen. Dear Saints, I have all week been trying to get away from the Epistle lesson. I wanted to preach about the Gospel. I just couldn’t. There’s so much wisdom for us, especially in our own day, in this passage from 1 Corinthians 6. So this morning, in the early…
Sermon for First Sunday after Christmas
[Machine transcription] Lord, now you are letting your servant depart in peace according to your word, for my eyes have seen your salvation. You may be seated. In the name of Jesus, Amen. Dear Saints, we are going to meditate today on this Gospel lesson from Luke chapter 2, but I just, I can’t skip those verses about the bride and the bridegroom in Isaiah chapter…
Sermon for Christmas Eve
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear saints, Merry Christmas, and may God bless us as we meditate on the words and the deeds that our Lord has given and the things that he has done. Most especially, his birth in Bethlehem for us. I think one of my favorite passages of the Christmas story is the one we just heard from Luke chapter two, where the angels…
Sermon for Third Sunday of Advent
[Machine transcription] There was a man sent from God whose name was John. He came as a witness to bear witness about the light that all might believe through him. You may be seated. In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear Zach and Laura, about to confess your faith here before the Lord’s Altar. To all of you who are confirmed confessors of the Christian faith, to the…
Sermon for First Sunday of Advent
[Machine transcription] Jesus says it is like a man going on a journey when he leaves home and puts his servants in charge, each with his work, and commands the doorkeeper to stay awake. Therefore, stay awake. You may be seated. In the name of Jesus, Amen. Dear Saints, what does Jesus mean by this command to stay awake? He surely doesn’t mean that the Christian…
Sermon for Last Sunday of the Church Year
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, Amen. Dear Saints, I’m excited because I just noticed something for the first time that I have, I don’t know how many years I’ve been alive, and I’ve never seen it before in the Nicene Creed, that we say I believe in the Holy Spirit, I believe in one holy Christian, an apostolic church, I acknowledge…
Sermon for Twenty-fourth Sunday after Pentecost
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, Amen. Dear Saints, we rejoice that our Lord Jesus is returning in glory soon for us. And this for us, for the Christian, is not a frightful thing or something to worry about. It’s, in fact, something joyful and something that we’re looking…
