Sermon for Fifth Sunday after Pentecost
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus. Amen. Dear Saints, the Lord Jesus is with the disciples and with us in the boat in the midst of the storm. But he’s asleep.

Sermon for Fourth Sunday after Pentecost
[Machine transcription] Jesus says, with what can we compare the kingdom of God? You may be seated. In the name of Jesus, Amen. Dear saints, it is surprising to me that Jesus asks, well, it’s not surprising that he asks this question. The surprise is how he answers. He’s sitting on a boat and he’s teaching, and he’s teaching parables about the…
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.

Sermon for Second Sunday after Pentecost
[Machine transcription] He looked around at them with anger, grieved at their hardness of heart and said to the man, stretch out your hand.

What is it that the Christian…

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 and he said, you know, I’m thinking about…
Sermon for the Ascension of Our Lord
[Machine transcription] When Jesus had said these things, as they were looking on, He was lifted up, and a cloud took them out of His sight. You may be seated. Christ is risen. He has risen indeed, hallelujah. Risen and ascended in all for us, that’s what we delight in tonight, dear saints, on the 1,991st anniversary of the Ascension. But, I think that the important…
Sermon for Sixth Sunday of Easter
[Machine transcription] Christ is risen. He is risen indeed. Alleluia. In the name of Jesus. Amen. Dear Saints, this morning I want to explore this preaching of Jesus from John 15, but before I close the hymnal, I want to point out one little line from Luther. It’s in stanza 6. It’s a theme that runs through the ancient church and it comes up all the time in…
Sermon for Fifth Sunday of Easter
[Machine transcription] Christ is risen, he is risen indeed, hallelujah. I am the true vine, says Jesus, and my father is the vinedresser. You may be seated. In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear saints, what comes to mind when I hear that phrase, I am the vine, I almost automatically fill in the second phrase. I don’t know if this happens in your imagination as well. I…
