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,…
Sermon for Second Sunday in Lent
[Machine transcription] In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, amen. I don’t really have any kind of statistical data or facts to back up what I’m about to say, but I think if you were to take a poll or a survey of a group of people, a group of unbelievers, and you asked them the question, “Why don’t you believe in the…
Sermon for The Baptism of Our Lord
[Machine transcription] In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Well, this morning we hear this account from St. Mark of the baptism of Jesus, and maybe it’s just me. Maybe I’m the only one that does this, but I think sometimes we might be tempted—often tempted—to overlook the importance of it. I mean, we came out of Advent and…
Sermon for Fourth Sunday of Advent
[Machine transcription] Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen. Today we have something maybe out of the ordinary, somewhat of an anomaly, whatever you want to call it, as this is the fourth Sunday in Advent, but it’s also Christmas Eve, and my math tells me this happens about every seven years or so. Thank you.…
Sermon for Twenty-first Sunday after Pentecost
[Machine transcription] And Jesus said to them, “Whose likeness and inscription is this?” They said, “Caesar’s.” Then he said to them, “Therefore render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” Amen. Please…
Sermon for Fourteenth Sunday after Pentecost
[Machine transcription] Grace, mercy, and peace to you from God the Father and from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen. Well, last week Pastor Wolf-Muller preached on this confession of St. Peter, and as I was listening a couple of times, he mentioned the disappointed gospel reading, this one from St. Matthew. Well, you shouldn’t really read it or preach it or…
Sermon for St Barnabas
[Machine transcription] When he came and saw the grace of God, he was glad, and he exhorted them all to remain faithful to the Lord with steadfast purpose. For he was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit, and of faith. Please be seated. Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen. So if you’re asking yourself this…
Who’s Afraid of the Holy Spirit?
[Machine transcription] Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen. Well, I haven’t yet gotten in the habit of giving titles to my sermons. When I read this text, I thought I’d be real smart and come up with something creative. And so I came up with, Who’s Afraid of the Holy Spirit? But if you just do…
Sermon for Fourth Sunday of Easter
[Machine transcription] Christ is risen. Grace, mercy, and peace from God the Father and from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen. This Sunday, you might often hear it referred to as Good Shepherd Sunday, and I think it’s interesting that in our gospel text, we really don’t even get to the verses that talk about the Good Shepherd himself. But to follow the…
