Sermon for Eighth Sunday after Pentecost
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. To brothers and sisters in Christ, with Jesus of Nazareth standing right before him, I can see Pontius Pilate immediately snapping back with the words, What is truth? What is truth?

Sermon for Seventh Sunday after Pentecost
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear saints of God, one of the first things they teach you when they teach you how to preach is that you should have a theme that goes from the beginning of the sermon to the end of the sermon and ties the whole thing together.

[Machine transcription] Jesus says, with what can we compare the kingdom of God? You may be seated. In the name of Jesus, Amen.

[Machine transcription] In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.

Sermon for Second Sunday after Pentecost
[Machine transcription] He looked around at them with anger, grieved at their hardness of heart and said to the man, stretch out your hand.

[Machine transcription] For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. You may be seated.
