Sermon for Fourth Sunday after Pentecost
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear Saints of God, we continue to hear Jesus’ instructions from Matthew chapter 10, as we have the last few weeks, where he’s sending out his disciples to bear his name before the world and telling them how it’s gonna go, and it’s not really gonna go well. It’s gonna be difficult. Jesus…
Sermon for Third Sunday after Pentecost
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear saints, when I was in high school, I worked at a pizza place, Dion’s Pizza in Albuquerque, New Mexico. And I remember every once in a while, someone would come in and order a pizza with everything on it. I mean, everything. Pineapple and anchovy and sausage and bacon and ham and pepperoni, just the works.…
Sermon for Second Sunday after Pentecost
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear Saints of God, we have this beautiful text today, the gospel according to Saint Matthew, chapter 9 and 10, and especially the sending that Jesus does of his disciples out into the cities before him to preach the gospel, the coming of the kingdom of God, to heal the sick, to raise the dead, to cast out demons.…
Sermon for Trinity
[Machine transcription] In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Amen. Dear Saints of God, no doubt on the screen that you are watching right now, you have also seen the news of the world falling apart: news of the pandemic bringing death and destruction, economic chaos, news of death and protests and riots in the street. On this same screen…
Sermon for Pentecost
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear Saints of God, Christ has died, Christ has risen, Christ has ascended and seated at the right hand of the Father, and Christ has sent forth his Holy Spirit as he promised. Now this is good. In fact, Jesus has been telling his disciples and us for the last few weeks and right before his crucifixion that it’s…
Sermon for Seventh Sunday of Easter
[Machine transcription] Christ is risen. He is risen indeed. Hallelujah. In the name of Jesus. Amen. Dear saints, a few days ago we celebrated the ascension of our Lord Jesus Christ, 40 days after his resurrection, when he ascended into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God the Father, where all kingdoms and powers and authorities are being placed under his feet,…
Sermon for Sixth Sunday of Easter
[Machine transcription] Christ is risen. He is risen indeed. Hallelujah. In the name of Jesus, Amen. Dear Saints of God, Jesus knows that it is best for us if we are Christians. He knows that it is best, that this is the best way to be alive, the best way to be a human being, and that is to be a follower of Jesus, to believe in him, to trust in him. Jesus knows. In fact,…
Sermon for Fifth Sunday of Easter
[Machine transcription] Christ is risen. He is risen indeed. Hallelujah. In the name of Jesus. Amen. Dear Saints of God, it’s almost too much in the text, John chapter 14, for us to cover in one sermon. There’s so much rich Trinitarian theology. Jesus says, “It’s enough if you’ve seen me, you’ve seen the Father,” to Philip.…
Sermon for Fourth Sunday of Easter
[Machine transcription] Christ is risen. He has risen indeed. Hallelujah. In the name of Jesus, Amen. Dear Saints, St. Peter says, “You were straying like sheep, but have now returned to the shepherd and overseer of your souls.” This picture of the shepherd with his sheep would have been very common in the ancient world, especially in Israel, especially around…
Sermon for Third Sunday of Easter
[Machine transcription] Christ is risen. He is risen indeed. Hallelujah. In the name of Jesus. Amen. Dear Saints, a few words about this text, The Road to Emmaus, and then a few, maybe really one reflection on what Jesus is doing for us here in the text. The text takes us back to the very first Easter Sunday. The women had gone to the tomb, heard from the angels, and come…
