Bearing Witness to the Coming King
[Machine transcription] Grace, mercy, and peace be to you from God our Father and from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.

Sermon for Lent Midweek 5
[Machine transcription] Grace, mercy, and peace be to you from God our Father and from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen. As you saw in that picture on the front cover, there hung the two malefactors or criminals, and in the middle was Jesus. And they’ve been hanging there for more than an hour. The first words that they hear out of Jesus’ lips are these…
Living and Believing in Jesus
[Machine transcription] Grace, mercy, and peace be upon you from God our Father, and from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen. Let us pray. Death’s power holds us still in thrall and bears us toward the tomb. Death’s darkening cloud hangs like a pall that threatens earth with doom. But you have broken death’s embrace and torn away its sting. Restore…
Sermon for Lent Midweek 4
[Machine transcription] Grace, mercy, and peace be to you from God our Father and from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen. You’ve heard of the word eccentric, and you think about those kind of people that you reserve that word to describe. Eccentric usually means someone who is different, odd, full of desires or tastes that are markedly different than the norm.…
And What Do You See?
[Machine transcription] Grace, mercy, and peace be to you from God our Father, and from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen. Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, the text is the Gospel reading.

Sermon for Lent Midweek 3
[Machine transcription] Grace, mercy, and peace be to you from God our Father and from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen. The Gospel readings are the text for this evening. Be seated.

Drink Living Water
[Machine transcription] Grace, mercy, and peace be to you from God our Father, and from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen. Dear brothers and sisters in Christ, the text comes from the Gospel reading about the woman at the well with Jesus. You may be seated.

Sermon for Lent Midweek 2
[Machine transcription] Grace, mercy, and peace be to you from God our Father and from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen. You may be seated. If this sound had not been heard, everyone would have noticed. But when this sound was heard, only one man heard it. And he heard it with shame and with guilt. And that was Peter and the cock crowing. For everyone else, it was a…
Born of the Spirit
[Machine transcription] Grace, mercy, and peace be to you from God our Father and from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen. Brothers and sisters in Christ, the text is the Gospel reading where Jesus proclaims He is the serpent on the pole. You may be seated.

Sermon for Lent Midweek 1
[Machine transcription] Grace, mercy, and peace be to you from God our Father and from our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen. It was said of Jesus in the book of Hebrews, “who for the joy, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross and scorning its shame.” And yet, in this evening’s text, we see not so much joy at all.
