Episode 440: Sermon 13th Sunday after Pentecost C, September 7th 2025

Sermon audio at Christus Victor Lutheran Church in Apple Valley, MN. Scripture: Luke 14:25-33. In worship today we changed a number of things: moved our new chairs for the first time away from being the pattern of the old pews, creating a new center aisle. We also began implementing a new liturgical setting, ELW Setting 4, by doing a full chanted eucharistic liturgy for the first time in a long time. In order to facilitate that, we created all new bulletins of a completely different size, scope, and scale. Jesus' confrontational teaching about hating father and mother, etc., helps us understand how we process and react to unfulfilled expectations, and Comments? Write it on the bulletin and give it back to me!
