Sermon for Seventh Sunday of Easter
[Machine transcription] I have said these things to you, to keep you from falling away.

Sermon for the Ascension of Our Lord
[Machine transcription] Is risen, he is risen indeed. Alleluia.” While Jesus blessed them, He parted from them and was carried up into heaven; and they worshipped Him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy, and were continually in the temple blessing God. You may be seated. Dear saints, that’s not what I would expect that last line that told how the…

Sermon for Fourth Sunday of Easter
[Machine transcription] In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, an evil spirit tormented King Saul. And he became envious, cruel, bloodthirsty.

But the Lord delivers him out of…

Sermon for Second Sunday of Easter
[Machine transcription] Christ is risen. It is risen indeed. Dear brothers and sisters in our risen Christ, today is Quasimodo Geniti Sunday and that translation means something like as newborns and it is a reference to what is often used as the introit text for this Sunday and that comes from 1st Peter 2 verse 2 and there Peter writes Like newborn infants, long for the…
Sermon for Easter Sunday
[Machine transcription] Christ is risen! He is risen indeed. Dear saints, we rejoice in that fact this morning and I’d like to… I’d like to meditate on it, the resurrection of our Lord Jesus really in two ways. And if you’re just thinking “oh wow, only two things,” well, the second point has three points, so really four ways. But we’re going to divide it this way: the…
Sermon for Palm Sunday
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear saints, we celebrate today rightly on Palm Sunday as the triumphal entry of our Lord Jesus.
