Sermon for Twenty-second Sunday after Pentecost
[Machine transcription] Now Jesus says, “Now God is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for all live to him.” You may be seated. In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear saints, the text today takes us to Holy Tuesday, to just the week of Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection, and…
Sermon for Reformation
[Machine transcription] There is no distinction for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God and are justified by His grace as a gift to the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. You may be seated. In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear saints, through one man sin entered the world and sin brought death, and so death spread to all. All of us are born in bondage to sin,…
Sermon for Nineteenth Sunday after Pentecost
[Machine transcription] But Jacob said, “I will not let you go unless you bless me.” You may be seated. In the name of Jesus, amen. I don’t know if you’ve ever been to a friend’s house and they’ve given you something to eat as some sort of dessert, and you said, “What’s in that?” And they tell you the ingredients:…
Sermon for Seventeenth Sunday after Pentecost
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear Elizabeth, in your baptism, the Lord Jesus has clothed you into his own righteousness, adopted you as his own dear child, welcomed you into his family, and given you all the gifts of life eternal for you and for all the baptized. The Lord Jesus loves you. The Lord Jesus delights in you. The Lord Jesus longs for your…
Sixteenth Sunday after Pentecost
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus. Amen. Dear saints, if you want to learn how to live, you have lots of options. In fact, there are lots of people who will tell you just what you’re supposed to do, how you’re to live, how you’re to organize your days, how you’re supposed to eat, how you’re supposed to exercise, the books that…
Sermon for Thirteenth Sunday after Pentecost
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus. Amen. Dear Saints, our Lord Jesus turns to the crowd this morning in the gospel lesson, Luke chapter 14, and he speaks to them, preaches to them about the difficulty of being his disciple. It’s a hard sermon. In fact, the Lord gives three restrictions. He says, unless you do this, you cannot be my disciple. And we want…
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…
