Sermon for the Baptism of Our Lord
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear saints, this morning we consider the wisdom and courage of baptism—the baptism that the Lord Jesus has given to all of his people. And if, by the way, you’re visiting and you haven’t been baptized, make sure to check in with me before you leave and we can work on that. Martin Luther says about baptism…
Sermon for the Epiphany of Our Lord
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, Amen. He has crammed just about every word for joy in the smallest possible space. Listen to what happens with these wise men when they see the star, which apparently had disappeared for a little while while they got to Jerusalem, and then the scribes called by Herod tell them that the Messiah is going to be born in Bethlehem,…
Sermon for Christmas Day
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, Amen. The first is that we want to remember that our Lord Jesus Christ, the second person of the Holy Trinity, is eternal. That he was begotten of the Father before all worlds. In that eternal day, like we chanted in Psalm 2, today I have begotten you. We heard it confessed by John in the very first verse of his chapter, of…
Sermon for Christmas Eve
[Machine transcription] And there was a multitude of angels and the heavenly hosts praising God and saying, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased.” You may be seated.

Sermon for Fourth Sunday in Advent
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, Amen. Dear Saints, this book of Hebrews is a marvelous, we’ve been studying it in Sunday school, such a marvelous text, beautiful sermon. It starts out with all of these verses Times when the Father is speaking to the Son in the Old Testament: Psalm 2, “You’re my Son, today I’ve begotten you.”…
Sermon for Third Sunday in Advent
[Machine transcription] Jesus says, “I tell you, among those born of women, none is greater than John, yet the one who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.” You may be seated. Dear Brandon, and to all the lords baptized, we are part of the kingdom of God that Jesus is preaching about. This text is so wonderful. It’s a kind of tough text,…
Sermon for Second Sunday in Advent
[Machine transcription] The voice of one crying in the wilderness, prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. You may be seated. Dear Emmeline, and to all the baptized, grace and mercy and peace be yours from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ. We’re going to consider this morning this great character given to us in the scriptures, St. John the…
Sermon for Last Sunday of the Church Year
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, Amen. Dear Saints of God, and especially you Comfort Mans, William and Sarah and George and Rick and Alex and Trevor, grace and peace from our Lord Jesus Christ be with you now and always. Amen. What does it mean to be confirmed? I wonder how we can think about this. There’s a lot of different ways to consider it. I…
Sermon for Twenty-sixth Sunday after Pentecost
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear saints, in these last two weeks of the church year, we are hearing our Lord’s promise that he will come again in glory to judge both the living and the dead. And especially in the context of the gospel, Mark chapter 13, Jesus is giving…
Sermon for All Saints Sunday
[Machine transcription] Behold what manner of love the Father has given unto us, that we should be called the children of God. You may be seated. In the name of Jesus, Amen. Dear Saints, I have three things on our agenda this morning for the sermon. First, I want to get straight what it means to be a saint. Second, I want us to all rejoice in the blessed death of all…
