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. Dear Saints, we want to consider what it means that Jesus is tempted for forty days and forty nights in the wilderness by the devil and rejoice in the accomplishment that our…
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, who has endured that wrath for you. Now we’re going to explore the difficulty of those two…
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…
