Fourth Sunday after the Epiphany
Sermon for Fourth Sunday after Epiphany
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear saints, who is your enemy? I want to lean into that today. In fact, I want to take a couple steps back and we’re working around this gospel text of Mark chapter 1, where really the whole of chapter 1 is laying out what Jesus is coming to do: the wrongs He’s making right, the ills that He’s fixing,…

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,…
Obedient Demons
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear Sidney, today we rejoice to welcome you to the fellowship of our Lord’s altar, where he gives us his own body and blood for the forgiveness of all of our sins. What a delight for all of us to come to the Lord’s Supper, where Jesus gives himself to us, all of himself to us. There’s a question about…
What is this Word?
[Machine transcription] May the words of my mouth and the meditations of our hearts be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, our Rock and our Redeemer. Amen. Brothers and sisters, our text for this morning comes from the Gospel lesson, especially these words: “And they were all amazed and said to one another, What is this word? For with authority and power he commands…
As One Who Has Authority
[Machine transcription] Grace, mercy, and peace be to you from God our Father, and from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen. Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, the text is from the Gospel reading. You may be seated. So I have a question for you. Do you recall the Great Declaration of Independence that was spoken long before 1776? Now this Great Declaration of…
Walking Humbly With Your God
[Machine transcription] Grace, mercy, and peace be to you from God our Father, and from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen. Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, the text comes from the Epistle reading, Paul’s letter to the Corinthians. You may be seated. So what is it about you or about me that makes us so cocksure of ourselves when we compare ourselves with…
What Is This Word
[Machine transcription] Grace, mercy, and peace be upon you from God our Father and from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen. The text for this morning is the Gospel reading. You may be seated. Truly I have the best job of all of you, and it is you who have given me the privilege to do it, for you have called me to proclaim to you the good news of Jesus. That is the…
Astonished at His Teaching
[Machine transcription] So if you were to be asked, name about a half a dozen miracles of Jesus, what six would you come up with in your mind? You’d probably mention his first, the water into wine at the wedding at Cana. You’d mention probably blind being able to see and deaf being able to hear, lame being able to walk even. You’d mention the feeding of…
Are We Willing?
Grace, mercy, and peace to you from God our Father, and from our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.
I think we can all agree that God the Father wants us to talk about Him, to believe in Him, and to trust in Jesus Christ, God the Son, as our only Savior. Scripture repeatedly supports this position. As an example, look to Acts 1:8: “But you will receive power when…
