Sermon for the Ascension of Our Lord
[Machine transcription] While they were gazing into heaven as he went, behold, two men stood by them in white robes and said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand here looking into heaven? This Jesus who has taken up from you into heaven will come in the same way you saw him go into heaven.” Christ is risen. He has risen indeed. In the name of Jesus. Amen. You may be seated.…
Sermon for Sixth Sunday of Easter
[Machine transcription] Christ is risen, he has risen indeed. Hallelujah. In the name of Jesus. Amen. Dear Mark and Hank and Noah, to all the baptized and to all those who confess our Lord Jesus Christ. Our Lord Jesus, in the gospel lesson tonight, is giving his last sermon. In fact, this is the last part of his last sermon to his disciples. Right after the words that we…
Sermon for Fifth Sunday of Easter
[Machine transcription] When they heard these things, they fell silent and they glorified God, saying, “Then to the Gentiles also, God has granted repentance that leads to life.” Christ is risen. He has risen indeed. You may be seated. In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear Saints, we are going to end up right there with that text from Acts chapter 11 that God has…
Sermon for Third Sunday of Easter
[Machine transcription] Christ is risen. He has risen indeed. Hallelujah. In the name of Jesus. Amen. Dear Saints, last week we heard from John chapter 20, the very end, where John says why he’s written all of these things down. He says, there’s many other things that Jesus did that were not written in this book, but these were written so that you would…
Sermon for Easter Sunday
[Machine transcription] Christ is risen. He is risen indeed. Hallelujah. And dear saints, that’s a good thing for us. Because if Christ were not risen from the dead, our faith would be in vain. If Christ were not risen from the dead, we would have no hope beyond the veil of death. If Christ were not risen from the dead, we of all people are the most to be pitied.…
Sermon for Easter Vigil
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus. Amen. The gospel text from Matthew printed in your bulletin is the text for Holy Saturday. That text from John 20 is the text for the Easter vigil. And it’s quite fitting that we, in fact, would think about both of them because we’re right on the cusp of this most momentous occasion. When the sun goes down on…
Sermon for Palm Sunday
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. Do Joshua and all the baptized. We rejoice today that Jesus, knowing what was going to happen, knowing that this was the week of his suffering, of his trial, of his beating, of his arrest, of his crucifixion, of his being laid in the tomb, and knowing even beyond that what lay ahead, Jesus still goes and grabs a donkey…
Sermon for Lent Midweek 4
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus. Amen. Jesus is condemned by Pilate, handed over to the soldiers, mocked, whipped, and crowned with thorns, and is let out to die under the weight of his cross. That’s where we pick up the story tonight. They let him away, and as he’s leaving the palace, maybe even leaving town, he falls under the weight of the…
Sermon for Fourth Sunday in Lent
[Machine transcription] Now the tax collectors and sinners were drawing near to hear Jesus, and the Pharisees and the scribes grumbled, saying, “This man receives sinners and eats with them.” So he told them this parable. You may be seated. Dear Stephen and Tray, dear conframands, dear baptized believers in the Lord Jesus Christ, this parable is one of the…
How to Watch the News with a Good Conscience
[Machine transcription] those 18 on whom the tower in Saloam fell and killed them. Do you think that they were worse offenders than all others who lived in Jerusalem? No, I tell you. But unless you repent, you will all likewise perish. You may be seated. In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear saints, I titled the sermon this morning. It’s called How to Watch the News with…
