Sermon for Fifth Sunday in Lent
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear Saints, prepare your hearts, for we will in a few minutes stand and confess our faith. We will renounce the devil and all his works and all his ways. We will recommit ourselves to attending to the Lord’s word and the services of the Lord’s house, and we will promise before God and the angels and one…
Sermon for Fourth Sunday in Lent
[Machine transcription] For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have life eternal. You may be seated. In the name of Jesus, Amen. Dear Saints, those words from the Gospel are so familiar to us that what I’d like to do is just take a look first at the Gospel and try to notice a few things that we…
Sermon for Third Sunday in Lent
[Machine transcription] And Jesus made a whip of cords and drove them out of the temple. You may be seated. In the name of Jesus, Amen. Whenever we speak of the sinlessness of Jesus, there’s always a couple of incidences that are brought up to question the point.

Sermon for Second Sunday in Lent
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus. Amen. Lord, let at last thine angels come to Abram’s bosom, bear me home, that I may die unfearing. Dear Saints, we think of today, of life and of death.

Sermon for First Sunday in Lent
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear Saints of God, with might of ours can nothing be done. Soon our loss would be effected. But for us fights the valiant one chosen by God. You ask who this is? Jesus, who fights for you to keep you and to bless you, and to give you all that you need. Jesus Christ it is, Lord of hosts, the Valiant One. If we can…
Sermon for Transfiguration
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. And as the men were parting from him, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good that we are here. Let us make three tents, one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah,” not knowing what he said. Having just revealed to his disciples eight days earlier all that had to come to pass—his rejection by the…
Sermon for Fifth Sunday after Epiphany
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. Your saints today will meditate on the mystery of Jesus’ prayer. On the way there, I want to pick up the last couple of verses of Isaiah. Isaiah 40 is an amazing chapter, and at the end of that chapter, he gives this promise. He says, “Even youths shall faint and be weary, young men will fall exhausted; but they…
Obedient Demons
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear Sidney, today we rejoice to welcome you to the fellowship of our Lord’s altar, where he gives us his own body and blood for the forgiveness of all of our sins. What a delight for all of us to come to the Lord’s Supper, where Jesus gives himself to us, all of himself to us. There’s a question about…
Sermon for Third Sunday after Epiphany
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear Saints, I want to consider this call of the Apostles, but first, just a quick word about Jonah. Can you believe Jonah, who doesn’t want to go to Nineveh? He says that here in the beginning of the text, the word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time. That’s because the first time the word of the Lord…
Sermon for Second Sunday after Epiphany
[Machine transcription] Nathaniel said to Philip, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.” You may be seated. In the name of Jesus, Amen.
