Sermon for Fifth Sunday after Epiphany
[Machine transcription] Unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and the Pharisees, you cannot enter the kingdom of heaven. You may be seated. In the name of Jesus, Amen. Dear Saints, our Lord Jesus Christ and His Sermon on the Mount is refuting Phariseeism, the doctrine that we can be righteous according to our own works and please God by our own efforts.…
Sermon for Fourth Sunday after Epiphany
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, Amen. Dear Saints, and especially to you who will stand up here in a few minutes and give your confession in the name of Jesus, before His altar and before His people. Grace to you and peace from God the Father and from our Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus sits His disciples down and the followers, they’re on the mountain in…
Sermon for Third Sunday after Epiphany
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear saints of God, we hear today of our Lord Jesus Christ, of the beginning of His ministry, and its fulfilling of the promise of Isaiah chapter 9 that by the way of Zebulun and Naphtali, by the way of the sea in the land of the Gentiles, a light has shone. I think that’s what makes this, by the way, an epiphany…
Sermon for Second Sunday after Epiphany
[Machine transcription] John said, “Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.” You may be seated. In the name of Jesus, Amen. Dear Saints, we go to the River Jordan again today to hear this preaching of John. Some of the last preaching that we’ll hear of John, but his most glorious preaching. Because he preaches with his finger as well…
Sermon for the Baptism of Our Lord
[Machine transcription] I don’t know how it is, dear saints, in your mind when you picture the baptism of Jesus, but I always think of John the Baptist, this old, grisly man with his big, gray beard and crazy hair standing there in the middle of the Jordan River. I have to remember that he was only 30 years old, maybe 31. Jesus was 30. And Jesus comes down to him as…
Sermon for the Epiphany of Our Lord
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear saints, a blessed epiphany to you as we celebrate how the Lord Jesus reveals himself also to the Gentiles. And we remember tonight how the Lord sent the wise men from the east to find the child Jesus in the home in Bethlehem and fall down and worship him. Now, this story, this biblical history, has always, to me,…
Sermon for Christmas Day
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. Merry Christmas, dear saints, and may God grant us in this Christmastide, in this feast of the Lord’s incarnation, his joy and his peace. Especially dear Maddox, the baptized, it was about 2,024 years ago that Jesus was your size. Can you imagine that? He was held in the hands of his mother Mary; his stepfather…
Sermon for Christmas Eve
[Machine transcription] The angel said to them, “Fear not, behold, I bring you good news of a great joy that will be for all people.” You may be seated. In the name of Jesus, Amen. Dear Saints of God, Merry Christmas and happy, as far as I can tell, the 2024th anniversary of the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ in the flesh, who has gathered us here so that we…
Sermon for Fourth Sunday of Advent
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear saints, the problem is bigger than you think and the solution is smaller than you think. That’s what I want to talk about today. But I want to look at the text to get there. Matthew chapter 1 is an amazing, amazing text, an amazing bit of history of salvation. It’s when already Mary, the mother of our…
Sermon for Second Sunday of Advent
[Machine transcription] In those days John the Baptist came preaching in the wilderness of Judea saying, “Repent.” You may be seated. In the name of Jesus, Amen. Dear Saints of God, this is the first word and perhaps the best summary of the preaching of John the Baptist. Repent! The kingdom of heaven is at hand. And then Matthew tells us, Mark and Luke too,…
