Sermon for Advent Midweek 4
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. You may be seated. How can this be? Where’s the proof? During this Advent season, the focus has been on how the Lord has worked in and through certain apostles. Tonight’s apostle focus will be on Saint Thomas. Saint Thomas the misunderstood. St. Thomas, the man on a mission, St. Thomas, the missing link, St.…
Sermon for Fourth Sunday of Advent
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear saints, the problem is bigger than you think and the solution is smaller than you think. That’s what I want to talk about today. But I want to look at the text to get there. Matthew chapter 1 is an amazing, amazing text, an amazing bit of history of salvation. It’s when already Mary, the mother of our…
Sermon for Advent Midweek 3
[Machine transcription] Jesus says, those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick, go and learn what this means. I desire mercy and not sacrifice, for I came not to call the righteous, but sinners. Please be seated. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, amen. As Pastor mentioned in his opening, we continue with our…
Sermon for Third Sunday of Advent
[Machine transcription] Jesus said, “Truly I say to you, among those born of women, there has arisen none, no one greater than John the Baptist, yet the one who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.” Please be seated. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. So imagine that you’re a Galilean, and…
Sermon for Second Sunday of Advent
[Machine transcription] In those days John the Baptist came preaching in the wilderness of Judea saying, “Repent.” You may be seated. In the name of Jesus, Amen. Dear Saints of God, this is the first word and perhaps the best summary of the preaching of John the Baptist. Repent! The kingdom of heaven is at hand. And then Matthew tells us, Mark and Luke too,…
Sermon for Advent Midweek 1 — St Andrew
[Machine transcription] One of the two who heard John speak and followed Jesus was Andrew, Simon Peter’s brother. He first found his own brother Simon and said to him, “We have found the Messiah.” Be seated please. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, amen. As Pastor had mentioned in his welcoming, today is the feast of St.…
Sermon for First Sunday of Advent
[Machine transcription] As were the days of Noah, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. You may be seated. Dear Novak, the baptized, and to all the Lord’s baptized children, we rejoice that our Lord Jesus Christ tells us that he is coming in glory to judge the living and the dead. But why do we have that text today? The first Sunday of the church year, the first…
Sermon for Last Sunday of the Church Year
[Machine transcription] Grace, mercy, and peace from God our Father and His Son, our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen. Dear baptized believers in Christ’s church, today is the last Sunday of the church year. In the various seasons through this past 12 months, we have focused on the life, death, resurrection, and ascension of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ,…
Sermon for Twenty-Third Sunday after Pentecost
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, Amen. Dear Saints, one time I saw a bumper sticker that said, “Jesus is coming, look busy.” That is the wrong idea. Why does Jesus let us know that He’s coming again in glory? To frighten us? To make us live our days in terror and…
Sermon for All Saints Sunday
[Machine transcription] See what kind of love the Father has given to us that we should be called the children of God. You may be seated. In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, dear Saints of God, when we hear that word, when you hear that word, what do you think of? Saint. There’s a lot of things that we could think of, a lot of…
