Sermon for Second Sunday after Epiphany
[Machine transcription] This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee and manifested his glory, and his disciples believed in him. Please be seated. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Dear brothers and sisters, this morning we hear a story about a wedding celebration that almost wasn’t—well, at least… maybe…
Sermon for Thanksgiving Eve
[Machine transcription] Dear Soren Frederick, who tonight has received new birth by the washing of water and the word, and all the baptized here in Christ Jesus, grace, mercy, and peace be to you from God our Father and from our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen. You know, I think in some ways the importance of Thanksgiving—when I say Thanksgiving, I mean the Thanksgiving with a…
Sermon for Twenty-fifth Sunday after Pentecost
[Machine transcription] In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Dear brothers and sisters, there is, in some of our churches today, I think there’s this tendency, or maybe an inclination, to take this gospel lesson about the widow and her offering, and extract…
Sermon for Fourteenth Sunday after Pentecost
[Machine transcription] In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Well, brothers and sisters, this morning we hear this particular word that Jesus uses. The Pharisees used it also, but Jesus uses it really kind of back against them. And we’re going to also not necessarily hear it in the lesson from Isaiah, but it’s kind of back…
Sermon for Third Sunday after Pentecost
[Machine transcription] In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Amen. Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, this morning we have placed in front of us here at least this part of this Old Testament lesson from chapter 3 by the prophet Moses that we often refer to as The Fall. And if you look in your study Bible, it might actually be titled The…
Sermon for Seventh Sunday of Easter
[Machine transcription] Christ is risen. I think we could go ahead and end the service right now with that hymn. But if you were here a couple of weeks ago, you might be thinking, hey, what’s going on here? We sang this two weeks ago, and a few days ago, as Jonathan and I were here, he came over and we started talking. He said, you know, I’m thinking about…
Sermon for Second Sunday of Easter
[Machine transcription] Christ is risen. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. I think the main temptation with today’s readings, especially the gospel lesson, is for us to really only talk about what’s going on with Thomas because, after all, let’s admit it, he’s kind of an easy target to focus on. And we will talk…
Sermon for Good Friday Tre Ore 1
[Machine transcription] In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, amen. Jesus’ first words from the cross are an inaccessory prayer given up to his Father, but who were these words meant for? Was Jesus crying out on behalf of the Roman soldiers, the ones who flogged him mercilessly, who mocked and ridiculed him and then drove the nails into…
Sermon for Maundy Thursday
[Machine transcription] In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, amen. I’m not entirely sure how long this has been going on, but in recent years it seems like there’s been this fascination among certain groups of Christians with the observance of a Passover meal. And maybe you’ve got friends who do this, and maybe you’ve…
Sermon for Lent Midweek 3
[Machine transcription] In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Amen. Jesus knows the hour of his greatest trial has come. And so he leads his disciples from the place of the Passover meal through the dark Kidron Valley to the edge of the Mount of Olives to this place called Gethsemane. As many times before he tells his disciples, you sit here,…
