In the Name of the Father and of the ✠ Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. The faithful, watchful Christian eye is set upon the Last Day, for in it we know that the King will come and call all His servants to settle accounts. The Christian eye fears this not, because it has been restored to eternal sight through faith in the long-awaited Bridegroom Who, at His own all-exacting expense, has paid the debt we owe. He has given faith to His Church, washed us by His Spirit and His Word, and donned upon us pure white robes of righteousness; a righteousness whichRead More →

In the Name of the Father and of the ✠ Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. An unforgiving heart is unfit to receive forgiveness itself although it is likely to demand it when roles are reversed. The Lord Jesus gives a stern warning to all benefactors of God’s inestimable grace: forgive as you have been forgiven, lest forgiveness be taken from you. His parable teaches this clearly, sufficiently for this to end here as the shortest sermon you’ve heard. Yet, we shall not rush through our dear Lord’s words, but will reflect upon them for at least a few more minutes. May God’s willRead More →

In the Name of the Father and of the ✠ Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. We love our independence, our strength, our inherit ability to get done what needs to be done, even if speaking merely of personal daily tasks. As creatures prone toward pride, anything that lends toward us seeing how good we are is likely to be taken in favor. The longest season of the Church Year, Trinitytide, is nearly all passed by already, in much of a blur in many of our perspectives, yet recall the pride recounted just before this season began; recall Pentecost and the hearts of theRead More →

In the Name of the Father and of the ✠ Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. The Revelation of Jesus Christ to St. John, the final book of the Holy Scriptures, is not written to be a troubling puzzle but a comforting and reassuring vision of what is, what was, and what is to come. Avoid not the words within it, for the book itself begins with promise: Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it; for the time is near. On this All Saints Day, hear the WordRead More →

In the Name of the Father and of the ✠ Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Amen. Amen. A Mighty Fortress is our God, a Trusty Shield and Weapon. He is a Refuge in Whom faithful men before us trusted even under threat of death so that they themselves might keep hold of the Gospel of Life, and preserve it in truth and purity for the generations who followed. We give thanks to God as we commemorate the Reformation and the sweet, undefiled Gospel of Christ that was restored to His people then and unto this very day. For, it is in God, byRead More →

In the Name of the Father and of the ✠ Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. The LORD our God is almighty, all-knowing, all-holy, and altogether perfect. He created all things out of nothing by the power of His Word and on the sixth day God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thingRead More →

Amen. We all want the world to be a better place, or at least a good place, which would mean a betterment of it if we see we’re not there yet. Unfortunately, though, many an idea of better originates in the sinful heart of fallen man and are focused on what each individual person deems and wants his better world to be like. Hence, we returnRead More →

Amen. As a father pities his children, So the LORD pities those who fear Him. For He knows our frame; He remembers that we are dust. As for man, his days are like grass; As a flower of the field, so he flourishes. For the wind passes over it, and it is gone, And its place remembers it no more.

Amen. In the second petition of the Lord’s Prayer, we pray Thy kingdom come. The lust of the flesh desires to keep this truth at a distance; to keep the kingdom of God as some abstract truth confined to motions of habit constrained to Sunday morning, or else a far-off reality about which only the true religious nuts among us really take seriously.

Amen. As Jesus went to Jerusalem He passed through the midst of Samaria and Galilee. On the way to the place where all the Lord’s work would come to a glorious climax on the cross, on the way to the great city of God that would reject Yahweh in the flesh Himself, the Savior was passing along between two divided areas: Samaria, the land the true Jews saw asRead More →

Transcription from audio file: In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Gracing our ears this morning are multiple accounts of two men presenting themselves before God, presenting sacrifices before God. First is that of Cain and Abel, brothers, sons of our first parents, one a keeper of sheep, and the other a tiller of the ground. Both brought an offering to the Lord, and he respected Abel in his offering, but he did not respect Cain in his offering. It is challenging to conclude just from that text why this was so. Some inferences may be assumed,Read More →

Amen. As Jesus drew near Jerusalem, He saw the city and wept over it, saying, “If you had known, even you, especially in this your day, the things that make for your peace! But now they are hidden from your eyes… because you did not know the time of your visitation.” Jesus weeps over those who did not, who do not know the time ofRead More →

Amen. The parables of our Lord Jesus Christ are spoken masterpieces woven, painted, sculpted by the One Whose Word brought into creation all the beauty that we behold when we take time to look down, around, and up.

Amen. God the Father tested Abraham. He said to him, “Take now your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you.” So Abraham rose early in the morning and saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him,Read More →

The Lord Jesus says, “Assuredly, I say to you, unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and the Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.” He spoke these blessed words to His disciples as they had pressed upon Him when He gave the Sermon on the Mount.

Amen. The prophet Moses died in the wilderness. But he had an assistant who carried out and completed his role as deliverer: humble, faithful, and courageous Joshua, who himself was a type of Christ; who led the people Israel out of the wilderness, through the waters of the Jordan, and into the land promised by God as an inheritance. Joshua led the conquest of the land and saw toRead More →

Amen. How much of a part do lost sheep and lost coins have in being restored to those to whom they belonged? None. Bearing the sinful flesh means that we can only claim credit for rejecting a call to repent, to turn and seek, which means we have zero role in coming to salvation and to the forgiveness of sins. God brings those to us.Read More →

Guest Pastor: Rev. Allen Lunneberg (Transcribed by TurboScribe.ai) In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, Amen. With the approach of the closing chapters of the church year, our annual task of proclaiming the entire gospel of salvation today is given a standing ovation by the entire body of Christ. The whole church, throughout the world, of every time and every place, and as we say at the celebration of every Lord’s Supper, with angels and archangels and all the company of heaven.

(Transcribed by TurboScribe.ai.) In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. In Ephesians chapter 5, similarly to much throughout St. Paul’s epistle to the church in Ephesus, he gives us much contrast in his language that he uses, much contrast between two opposites through admonitions and exhortations, through warnings as well as encouragements to stand to hold. Consider his words through the lens of the gospel that you heard, through the parable of our dear Lord Jesus, for St. Paul is speaking in his letter not to unbelievers but to believers. Therefore he warns and encourages Christians asRead More →

(Transcribed by TurboScribe.ai.) In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, every present generation, in its present, bears the responsibility, yes, even the privilege, of establishing a godly legacy for those who follow. This means, of course, that life itself takes effort. Effort to cultivate joy it takes. It takes effort to grow stronger. It takes effort to stand firm. It’s only the flesh that wants to sit and to receive all good things without any effort, without putting anything forth to show the value of what is sought to be gained. Life also takes shared effort, meaningRead More →

(Transcribed by TurboScribe.ai.) In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Who is like God? Many Old Testament names, both of people and places, are actually confessions about who God is or what God has done in a certain place. If you see a name of a place or a person in the Old Testament that ends with the letters E-L, then it’s a confession or a statement or a question about God, about what he has done, about who he is. Names like Peniel, Bethel, Ezekiel, Daniel, or Michael, or as we would say, Michael. Michael isRead More →

(Transcribed by TurboScribe.ai.) In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints. This is what Psalm 116 says. So why then, if it’s precious in his sight, does Jesus reverse this? If this is his saint being carried out of Nain, why does he then raise him from the dead? We all have grieved over death coming very near to us, or we still do now. Most certainly, we will. This cannot be denied in this life that death does come near, both to us andRead More →

Let us not be like the Jews in John chapter 8 and assert that we have never been in bondage to everyone. For everybody this most certainly is not true, that we have not nor have we never been in bondage. We are all in bondage, in bondage to something or in bondage to someone. We are all slaves.
