…So That You May Believe…
[Machine transcription] Grace, mercy, and peace be to you from God our Father, and from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, who has risen just as He said. Amen. Sisters and brothers in Christ, the text is the glorious resurrection account given to us by the Gospel reading. You may be seated. A riddle for you. What is the most hardest thing in the world? What is the most…
He IS Here!
[Machine transcription] Christ is risen! Alleluia indeed. Grace, mercy, and peace to you from God our Father, from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen. The text for this morning comes from Paul’s letter to the Corinthians, the epistle reading. You may be seated. Now that greeting and that response, “Christ is risen, He is risen indeed, alleluia,” is…
Listen to My Voice
[Machine transcription] The last words of a man have meaning. Many times before someone dies, they ask for you to keep a vow for them, to make a promise to them, to take care of this thing or situation for them. And it is no different than with Jesus’ last words. But the words of which we will be looking at this evening weren’t any of that; they were spoken…
For the Forgiveness of Sins
[Machine transcription] Will you pray with me? Mine is the sin, but Thine the righteousness. Mine is the guilt, but Thine the cleansing blood. Here is my robe, my refuge, and my peace. Thy blood, Thy righteousness, O Lord my God. In the name of Jesus, Amen. Grace, mercy, and peace to you from God our Father and from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen. Something…
Bearing Witness to the Coming King
[Machine transcription] Grace, mercy, and peace be to you from God our Father and from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen. Brothers and sisters in Christ, the text for this morning is the Gospel reading regarding Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem. You may be seated. I could say amen and let you ponder what you heard with your ears and saw with your eyes to get the…
Sermon for Lent Midweek 5
[Machine transcription] Grace, mercy, and peace be to you from God our Father and from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen. As you saw in that picture on the front cover, there hung the two malefactors or criminals, and in the middle was Jesus. And they’ve been hanging there for more than an hour. The first words that they hear out of Jesus’ lips are these…
Living and Believing in Jesus
[Machine transcription] Grace, mercy, and peace be upon you from God our Father, and from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen. Let us pray. Death’s power holds us still in thrall and bears us toward the tomb. Death’s darkening cloud hangs like a pall that threatens earth with doom. But you have broken death’s embrace and torn away its sting. Restore…
Sermon for Lent Midweek 4
[Machine transcription] Grace, mercy, and peace be to you from God our Father and from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen. You’ve heard of the word eccentric, and you think about those kind of people that you reserve that word to describe. Eccentric usually means someone who is different, odd, full of desires or tastes that are markedly different than the norm.…
And What Do You See?
[Machine transcription] Grace, mercy, and peace be to you from God our Father, and from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen. Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, the text is the Gospel reading. You may be seated. I hope your ears picked up the theme or the motif of the three readings this morning. The choir, of course, supported that and the hymns as well. But in each…
Sermon for Lent Midweek 3
[Machine transcription] Grace, mercy, and peace be to you from God our Father and from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen. The Gospel readings are the text for this evening. Be seated. Every one of you have the innate ability to sniff out false religion. And all false religion really is, is a disconnect between what we say and what we do and who we are. Amen. It was…
