Sermon for Transfiguration
[Machine transcription] Now Peter and those who were with him were heavy with sleep, but when they became fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men who stood with him. You may be seated. In the name of Jesus, Amen. Dear Saints, it was about eight days after these things. What things? The conversation that Jesus had had with his disciples up at Caesarea Philippi. We…
Sermon for Seventh Sunday after Epiphany
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, Amen. Dear Saints of God, Jesus has hard words for us today, again, in this sermon that he preaches from Luke chapter 6. I think maybe let’s run into it in this way. If you’ve ever wondered why the Lord Jesus does not simply baptize us straight into glory, glory? Why, after we’re baptized, there’s not a…
Sermon for Sixth Sunday after Epiphany
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear saints of God, we are fearing and loving and trusting people. In fact, that’s kind of a tautology. We are people, and that means that we are fearing and loving and trusting. That’s what we were created to do by God in the garden. In fact, that’s what it means to be created in the image of God, that…
Sermon for Fifth Sunday after Epiphany
[Machine transcription] Grace, mercy, and peace to you from God our Father and from our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen. I loved fishing. My brother Andrew and I had a pretty good business of it. So did my friends, James and John. My name’s Peter. And the Sea of Galilee, or the Lake of Gennesaret, another name for it, that was a great place for us to fish. fish.…
Sermon for Fourth Sunday after Epiphany
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen, dear saints of God, we have before us such a marvelous text. I just want to confess to you that I could not pick one text to preach on, so this is what I’m going to try today. I’ve never tried it before, except this morning, and that is I’m going to try to preach four little mini short sermons. In fact,…
Sermon for Third Sunday after Epiphany
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus. Amen. Dear Saints, it’s nice, I think, to hear in the text, in the ancient Word of God, the people doing just exactly what we’re doing today. They gather together, this was in Nehemiah chapter 8, they gather together, they had built the walls, they’re working on rebuilding the temple, and they get together…
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. You may be seated. In the name of Jesus, Amen. Dear Saints, we have been speaking quite a bit about marriage lately, and there’s reason for that. The text invites us to it again today. I don’t want to say too many…
Sermon for The Baptism of Our Lord
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, Amen. Dear Saints, Jesus goes to be baptized by John. And John looks at Jesus and says, You don’t need this. I should be baptized by you, and you come to be baptized by me. John was baptizing for the forgiveness of sins, and Jesus never sinned. He never did anything wrong. He didn’t need to have sins washed away.…
Sermon for Epiphany
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear saints, we, you and I, we Christians, we worship Jesus. This is what sets us apart from the world. It’s what sets us apart even from our own sin, from death, from the devil. This is what gives us hope. It’s what gives us peace in the world. We worship Jesus. Yesterday I was visiting with someone. Then…
Sermon for Second Sunday of Christmas
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear Saints of God, we want to meditate on the great mysteries in this text. How, for example, can Jesus, who is both God and man, how can Jesus learn and grow in wisdom if he knows all things? Or this question, did Jesus sin in staying in Jerusalem at the temple while his parents thought he was with them on the way…
