Sermon for Fifth Sunday in Lent
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. Jesus hears that Lazarus is ill, and so he waits two days to go and visit. But then when it’s time, he announces it to the disciples, and they’re hesitant, knowing that this is going to be a dangerous endeavor. But they go anyway. It’s a stunning and beautiful text. There’s a lot for us to…
Sermon for Fourth Sunday in Lent
[Machine transcription] Jesus says, “For judgment I came into this world that those who do not see may see and those who see may become blind.” You may be seated in the name of Jesus. Amen.

Sermon for Third Sunday in Lent
[Machine transcription] Let us pray. May the words of my mouth and the meditations of our heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, our rock and our Redeemer. Amen. You may be seated.

Sermon for Second Sunday in Lent
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, Amen. Dear Saints, Some of the men of the congregation were gathered down for the men’s retreat at Camp Lone Star the last couple of days, listening to Pastor Whedon teach on 1 Thessalonians and 2 Thessalonians too, where Paul reminds us, rejoice always.

Sermon for Ash Wednesday
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear Saints of God, there are two things that God wants us to know, two things that He wants us to believe. The first is this: that we are sinners. Sinners who have broken God’s law, who have not kept His commands, and who deserve, because of our sin, His wrath and anger. Now the Lord has to convince us of this…
Sermon for the Transfiguration of Our Lord
[Machine transcription] And when they lifted up their eyes, they saw no one but Jesus only. You may be seated. In the name of Jesus, amen.

You’re ready to stand before the Lord on the day of judgment…
Sermon for Sixth Sunday after Epiphany
[Machine transcription] Dear Baptized in Christ, especially today, Daniel Augustine, grace, mercy, and peace to you from God the Father and from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.

Sermon for Fifth Sunday after Epiphany
[Machine transcription] Unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and the Pharisees, you cannot enter the kingdom of heaven. You may be seated. In the name of Jesus, Amen.
