Sermon for Fifteenth Sunday after Pentecost
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. Finally, dear saints, be strong in the Lord and the strength of his might put on the whole armor of God.

How many of you know that, and if you are kind of…
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 Thirteenth Sunday after Pentecost
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, Amen. Dear Saints, in the wilderness, when the Lord Jesus is feeding the 5,000 people, He is doing much more than just providing for them the food that they need. He is, in that miracle, and in His life, and in His teaching, and in His death, and in His resurrection, He is undoing the original sin of Adam and Eve, fighting…
Sermon for Twelfth Sunday after Pentecost
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear saints, Jesus came to do the will of his Father and his will is this, that he would lose none that come to him. That he will by no means cast away those who come and look upon him and believe in him. And that’s you and I, in our confidence, because I think we are afraid sometimes that the Lord surely would not…
Sermon for Eleventh Sunday after Pentecost
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus. Amen. Dear baptized believers in Christ’s Church, we all have needs. There are voids that are dark. There are things that are missing. There are troubles that go unresolved. Since the fall of man in the garden, this is the reality that every person experiences that has ever been born here on the earth. They have needs…
Sermon for Tenth Sunday after Pentecost
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear saints, we want to rejoice today that Jesus is still the one who walks on the water. We’ll think about that in the sermon, but I think it probably is good to just do a little preface and a little kind of â I mean, with the Old Testament lesson, a little rainbow rehabilitation. Because the Lord gives to us,…
Sermon for Ninth Sunday after Pentecost
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear saints, if it’s all right, I start with a little personal antidote from this week. I don’t know if it’s the same with you, the last few weeks have just, it seems like the world has kind of gone crazy. I don’t know why, but it seems more than usual, I think coming out of the presidential…
Sermon for Eighth Sunday after Pentecost
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. To brothers and sisters in Christ, with Jesus of Nazareth standing right before him, I can see Pontius Pilate immediately snapping back with the words, What is truth? What is truth? Our Lord Jesus had just answered the previous question where he was asked, So, you are a king? For Jesus had said, you say that I’m a…
Sermon for Seventh Sunday after Pentecost
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear saints of God, one of the first things they teach you when they teach you how to preach is that you should have a theme that goes from the beginning of the sermon to the end of the sermon and ties the whole thing together. Well, we’re going to forget about that this morning because I want to look at the…
Sermon for Sixth Sunday after Pentecost
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear Sophia, Jeremiah, and all the baptized, I was working on the texts for the sermon today. I was praying and I was, in some ways, complaining slightly to the Lord. And I said, Lord, how can I possibly teach all of these texts to your people? The sermon is so short. And I would love to tell you that a voice came from…
