Sermon for Ash Wednesday
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear Saints of God, there are two things that God wants us to know, two things that He wants us to believe. The first is this, that we are sinners. Sinners who have broken God’s law, who have not kept His commands, and who deserve, because of our sin, His wrath, and anger. Now the Lord has to convince us of this…

[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.

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.

Because he preaches with his finger as well as with his…
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.

Now, this story, this biblical history, has always, to me,…
