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. And if you look in your study Bible, it might actually be titled The…
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.” He stretched it out, and his hand was restored in the name of Jesus. Amen. Dear baptized believers in Christ’s church, there was a religious establishment in place when our Lord Jesus came onto the scene when he…
Sermon for The Holy Trinity
[Machine transcription] For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. You may be seated. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Amen. Dear Saints, when someone asks you, what do you believe as a Christian? Or what sets a Christian apart? What is it that the Christian…
Sermon for Pentecost
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear Saints, and especially to the dear confirmands, I want to see if I can find you. Ashley, Christian, Allie, I think I saw, there’s Allie. Bailey, I’m preaching to you guys, there’s Bailey. Kay, I saw Kay. Caroline, and you, Yang. We rejoice together with you that you will confess the Lord’s…
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. 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…
Sermon for Fourth Sunday of Easter
[Machine transcription] Christ is risen. He has risen indeed. Hallelujah. In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear Steve and all the baptized, the Lord Jesus has you as one of his sheep, which seems at first to be nice until we start to think more and more about what it means to be a sheep. I’m told by the people who know these kind of things that sheep don’t have a…
Sermon for Third Sunday of Easter
[Machine transcription] See my hands and feet in the name of Jesus, amen. Brothers and sisters in Christ, as you bask in the Easter light, the grace and mercy and peace of he who has risen be with each and every one of you. Jesus is risen. That’s easy for us to say. You and I have had centuries where the revelation of Jesus standing before his disciples alive has…
