Sermon for Twelfth Sunday after Pentecost
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear Saints, our Lord Jesus is invited to this dinner at the Pharisees’ house, and he is going to take the occasion to go right after these Pharisees. I mean, he just lays into them. He goes after their legalism. He goes after their pride. He goes after their selfishness. And it’s all laid out here before us.…
Sermon for St. Bartholomew, Apostle
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear saints, I think the Lord would teach us this morning, through St. Bartholomew, how to suffer with hope and with joy. We have Bartholomew, but then the gospel reading about Nathaniel, so it’s good first to just connect the two. It’s done by comparing the list of the apostles from Matthew, Mark, and Luke…
Sermon for Tenth Sunday after Pentecost
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear saints, this is a hard word that Jesus has for us this morning. When he says, in fact, he asked the question, “Do you think that I have come to bring peace on earth, to give peace on earth?” And he answers his own question, “No. I’ve not come to bring peace, but bring division.” Now how…
Sermon for Ninth Sunday after Pentecost
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear saints, our Lord Jesus says to us today, do not be anxious. Don’t worry. So if you are not anxious and you’re not worried about anything, you can take the next 20 or 50 minutes and read the Psalms. Or maybe you have a friend who needs to hear it, but we want to hear what the Lord is saying to us, why he…
Sermon for Seventh Sunday after Pentecost
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus. Amen. Dear saints, a good friend of mine, Pastor Paul’s up in Idaho, summarized prayer better than anyone I think I’ve ever heard summarize it. He says, prayer is the children of God saying, but Dad, you promised. And I think that’s perfect, just exactly how Jesus teaches us to pray. But, Dad, you promised.…
Sermon for Fifth Sunday after Pentecost
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus. Amen. Dear saints, we will consider and rejoice in the words of our Lord Jesus about the good Samaritan. I want to preface it with a few words about the tragedy that’s been unfolding in Texas and all the flooding in the last couple of weeks. We had bad news already last week, and the news got even worse this week. As I…
Sermon for St Peter and St Paul
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear Eilish and Melody, the baptized, and dear confermans who will stand before the Lord and before this church in a few minutes and confess his name to all those who are born again by the Lord’s promise and who trust in his coming. Grace and peace be to you from God our Father and from our Lord Jesus Christ. It is…
Sermon for Second Sunday after Pentecost
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear saints, this is a wild story from Luke chapter 8, where Jesus takes his disciples across the Sea of Galilee to the east side, to the region of the garrisons where the pagans were living. He is encountered when he jumps out of the boat by this naked crazy man who was possessed by the devil and the demons. He comes…
Sermon for the Holy Trinity
[Machine transcription] In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. I think there’s normally, dear saints, three spots that we trip up in the Athanasian Creed and need to explain. At least three questions that I always get after we confess it. The first is, hey, pastor, are we now saying that we’re saved by our works? Because after…
Sermon for the Day of Pentecost
[Machine transcription] In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, amen. Dear saints, our work today that the Lord has joyfully given us is to consider the Holy Spirit and the gift of the Holy Spirit that descended upon the upper room those 1,992 years ago today. That Holy Spirit who descended and gave the apostles—who, even though they had seen…
