Sermon for Fifteenth Sunday after Trinity
[Machine transcription] Therefore, I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. The heathen, the non-Christians, seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things will be…
Sermon for Fourteenth Sunday after Trinity
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, Amen. Dear saints, this text of the ten healed lepers and the one Samaritan who returns to give thanks ought to be planted in our hearts and minds and imaginations like a like a plum tree in the backyard that always has fruit on it. You can just always go and grab something off it. I want it. I hope and pray that this text…
Sermon for Eighth Sunday after Trinity
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, Amen. Dear Geneva and Oak, and all the baptized, and dear Lino and David and Dorothy and Brooke, and all those who have made the martyr’s promise, your Lord Jesus stands before you today with some pretty simple instructions. He says, “Beware of false prophets.” And he does not say these words without cause or…
Sermon for Sixth Sunday after Trinity
[Machine transcription] In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Amen. Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, we would—I think—ordinarily find this Exodus reading on the Ten Commandments if we were still in the three-year lectionary. We would find that right smack kind of in the middle of Lent, and that makes sense. It seems appropriate for us to…
Sermon for Fifth Sunday after Trinity
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, dear saints, the Old Testament reading appointed for today is one of great comfort, both for us and for the prophet Elijah, who was at a particularly low point in his prophetic ministry. And this account of God coming to him on Mount Horeb takes place just after he had confronted all the prophets of Baal, and it’s a…
Sermon for Third Sunday after Trinity
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, Amen. Dear saints, our Lord would teach us repentance as He taught the sinners and tax collectors and the scribes and the Pharisees gathered together on this day so many years ago in Luke 15. He wanted to teach them all the gift of repentance, and so He also wants to teach us this gift of repentance. And it’s important…
Sermon for Second Sunday after Trinity
[Machine transcription] Dear Saints, dear Miles, dear Declan, the time for excuses has passed. Now there once was a time for excuses when Israel stood on the banks of the Jordan. The Prophet Moses delivered his final homily to Israel, Israel who was to gird its loins and go to holy war with the peoples of the land of Canaan. And Moses he permitted some to refrain from the…
Sermon for First Sunday after Trinity
[Machine transcription] Thank you. Thank you. Good morning. Welcome in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, who calls and gathers us here this morning to serve and bless us with all His good and gracious gifts. We’d like to especially welcome those of you who are visiting with us this morning. And if you would, in an effort to get to know you a little bit better, if…
Sermon for the Holy Trinity
[Machine transcription] The cherubim called to one another and said, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory. You may be seated.” In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Amen. Dear saints, we have inherited from the Church that’s gone before us not only the prophets and apostles but also our…
Sermon for the Day of Pentecost
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus. Amen. Dear saints, the Lord Jesus kept His promise to send the Holy Spirit to comfort her. And the Holy Spirit came on Pentecost and continues to come. The Lord Jesus from His exalted throne continues to pour out on us and all the world his blessed holy spirit who makes us holy. And that’s what we want to think about…
