Episodes
-
Jesus leaves....to be with us?
Our Lord's ascension and what it means to our 8th grade graduates and to all of us. Why did he leave after promising to always be with us? What does that mean for our lives here on Earth? How is that comforting in our unknown future.
-
Do you have peace?
Peace begins not as a feeling, it is objective, a thing. When we 'keep on heeding' God's Word His peace is felt, it gives us courage, and guides our lives. May you keep on heeding His Word so that His peace will guard your heart and your mind.

Sunday May 15 with Children's Message - Don't be found going against God
The Apostle Peter is commanded to make no distinction between Jew and Gentile - so he goes and the Holy Spirit falls upon the Gentiles. Peter does not want to be found going against God even when it seems contradictory to his thoughts. Today we are to go to all nations with the Good News of Jesus.
-
Make No Distinction ~ Thursday Sermon
God leads Peter to the Gentiles and the Holy Spirit falls upon them just as on the Apostles.
-
Good Shepherd Sunday
The Shepherd continues to seek you out and will until that day He comes to bring you home. While we are here, there are dangers all around, many voices continue to call out - are you hearing the one who gives you life?
-
Hear His voice, follow Him.
Who do you find yourself following in this world? What voices do you listen to? There's only one that will lead you to the place you want to go - make sure you listen and follow that voice.
-
Confirmation Sermon
What does it mean when Jesus commands, "Follow Me"? What does your confession before God and the Church mean to you now? See why God commands and we take seriously the confession to never fall away.
-
Peace Be With You
What does Jesus mean by "Peace"? Because it sure seems the disciples are still in danger, in fact they are all martyred in this life (excepting John). Also, what did he mean by giving them the authority to forgive or withhold sins?
-
Is This The King You Expected?
Our King comes humbly, to serve. In our sinful flesh we would prefer a worldly conquering hero, but Jesus came to destroy sin, death and the devil, to reconcile us to God, to bring glory to God in the highest.
-
How Shall We Live?
What does it mean to forget what lies behind? To strive towards the upward call? Listen and grow in the faith.
-
The Prodigal - March 27 Sermon
The love, grace, and mercy of our Heavenly Father shines through in this parable of Jesus. So, then, once we understand it what do we do with that? Live it out!
-
Take Heed - Sunday of Lent 3
The history of the Israelites in the wilderness was written down for our instruction. St. Paul calls us to take heed lest we fall for we have not yet attained our heavenly glory, we are still under attack by Satan and our sinful flesh and world. However, God provides the way out.

-

God Has A Word For That!

Transfiguration Sermon - Mountaintop Experience.

Thur. Feb 24th Sermon

-
It's Life or Death
Which do you prefer? You think life, but we battle to overcome the desires of our flesh which lead to death.
-
Transfiguration Sermon for Deaf Worship
Jesus did not stay on the mountain. While you and I want to stay, we are called to go down, to carry our cross, to proclaim the good news for all to know Jesus as their Lord and Savior.
-
Juggling the demands
Jesus' sermon on the plain in Luke 6 seems to give us a lot to handle. How can we accomplish all of that?

Feb 6 - Called to build
God calls Isaiah. God calls Peter. God calls you. We are all called and gifted for the purpose of building up the body of Christ.
-
Love is....
St. Paul outlines what Godly love is in 1 Corinthians 13. We see God's love most clearly through His Son Jesus.

God never ceases calling out to His beloved. Who are they? All humans, from conception to natural death. While we may tire of calling out to people, God never tires, it is who He is - the God who calls.
-

Some of the sermon was not recorded due to internet issues, but this is the Sanctity of Human Life Sermon.

Wedding at Cana

Advent 3 Sermon
Why listen to sermons a second time? Because even Pastor forgets what he preached sometimes! However, like a meal fills us and keeps us going even when we forget a few days later what we ate, so also God's Word fills our souls and keeps us strong even when we forget later. Therefore let us return...
-
The Lord Sets Up His Tent Among Us

How do we approach the end?
The disciples want to know the signs for the time when the temple will be destroyed. Jesus warns them and encourages them to endure to the end. Hebrews encourages us to not give up gathering together.
-
All Saints Day
Who are the saints? How did they become saints? Why is it so awesome to gather with the saints?
-
Blind Bartimaeus
What a shocking difference in the response from the rich young man to the poor blind beggar! And yet Jesus treats them both equally, calling both of them to follow him - it makes no difference how society views you, how "good" or "bad" you seem to be - Jesus stops, listens, and offers the healing...
-
Reformation Sunday
If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. So why do we look for so many other options? The Reformation was about getting back to Christ Alone, Grace Alone, through Faith Alone found in Scripture Alone - not 'along with' or 'as long as you...'
-
The Desires of Your Heart
October 10th sermon on the rich young man and Jesus telling him to sell all he has. What possesses you? Is it God or is it a worldly item like money, job, car, reputation, etc. The first commandment tells us "You shall have no other gods" so whatever you're trusting, loving, or fearing more than...

Oct. 3rd Sermon - Do Not Neglect the Gift
God grants many gifts, most of all He grants us the gift of faith which delivers salvation. We are called to not neglect this gift, do not take it for granted but feed it (Go to church, receive His sacraments, read His Word, pray) and work it out (use it to glorify God and serve your neighbor).…

Help My Unbelief! Sept. 16th sermon

Sept. 12 - Praise the One who makes us one.
September 12th, 2001 is a special day in many of our memories because it was a day we felt united as a nation. Yet, it did not heal us. On top of that it seems our prayers are left unanswered, what are we to do when that happens? Into the chaos of this world Jesus stepped and revealed His…
