Sermon - February 18, 2018 - Jesus is Our Compassionate High Priest

The sermon for Sunday, February 18, 2018, is based on Hebrews 4:14-16

 

Today's Focus:  Jesus is our compassionate High Priest. The high priests of Isreal were human beings, just like the people they served: as sinners, they were able to sympathize with those who sinned.  How could someone as great as God's Son possibly relate to sinners?  That was a question the first readers of Hebrews would have had on their minds.  We will see that although Jesus is perfect in all he does, he also perfectly saves us and sympathizes with us.  And because of that, we are seen perfect in Him!

Sermon - February 11, 2018 - Jesus Appears as the Son of God in Glory

The sermon for Sunday, February 11, 2018, is based on Matthew 17:1-8

 

Today's Focus:  Jesus appears as the Son of God and glory.  We come to a "hinge" in our worship focus today.  In Epiphany we have seen Jesus reveal himself as the promised Savior.  In the next weeks of Lent, we will see this revealed Savior suffer for the sins of the world.  But before we ponder this ultimate act of humiliation, we pause this morning to gaze upon Jesus in an ultimate act of glorification.  His face is "transfigured" before Peter, James and John as he shows some of the glory that is his as true God.  Behold your Beautiful Savior!

Sermon - February 4, 2018 - Jesus Appears and Gives You Victory

The sermon for Sunday, February 4, 2018, is based on Mark 1:21-28

 

Today's Focus:  Jesus appears and gives you victory.  Why follow him?  Jesus shows his glory by his triumph over the devil.  In his own day he sometimes did that openly for many to see.  He still does it just as effectively but in a less public, less obvious way.  Just as his victory made manifest his glory then, so it does now.  Just as then, so now, everything is accomplished through his Word.

The sermon for Sunday, January 28, 2018, is based on 1 Corinthians 7:29-31

 

Today's Focus:  Jesus appears and calls you to service.  Jesus shows his glory in the kind of people that he calls to serve him and in using the gospel to make them willing to follow him.  To all comes the call to follow him with a willingness to abandon everything should faithfulness require it.

Sermon - January 21, 2018 - Jesus Appears to Call You to Faith

The sermon for Sunday, January 21, 2018, is based on Matthew John 1:43-51

 

Today's Focus:  Jesus appears to call you to faith.  It is in the Word that we hear the call of God that has in it the secret power of God to give what he commands.  He commands: "Believe!"  and the Word creates faith.  He says, "Follow me!" and the Word creates the desire and the ability to follow him.  That he should consider it glorious to call sinners such as us, is that not an amazing thing?  That he should attach such a power to his Word that we answer the call, is that not a wonder that lasts an eternity for each of us?

Sermon - January 14, 2018 - Jesus Appears as the Christ, the Anointed One

he sermon for Sunday, January 14, 2018, is based on Matthew 3:13-17

 

Today's Focus:  During the Epiphany season we want to get to know Jesus.  This Sunday we get to know him by baptism, both his and ours.  The baptism of Christ as the inauguration of his ministry is the theme of the day.  But as we remember Jesus' baptism we also focus on our own baptisms, by which we are connected to him and his saving work.  This work was done on behalf of all people and has the Father's full approval and delight.

Sermon - January 07, 2018 - Rejoice! He Comes For You

The sermon for Sunday, January 7, 2018, is based on Ephesians 3:2-12

 

Today's Focus:  Joy to the world, the Lord is come!  This morning we gather for the Festival of Epiphany which celebrates Jesus as Savior of the whole world.  The Festival of the Epiphany of our Lord is the second oldest festival celebrated by the Church, dating to the second century.  The Eastern Church commemorates the birth of Christ on this day, but the Western Church remembers it as the "Gentile Christmas" and celebrates Jesus who appeared as the Word for the world.

Sermon - December 17, 2017 - Rejoice! He Comes For You

The sermon for Sunday, December 17, 2017 is based on Malachi 4:1-6

 

Today's Focus: Rejoice! He comes for you!  Cherish this message that comes from God's Word.  Wrapped in that message are the most beautiful of Christmas presents, bought by Christ and carried to us by the Holy Spirit.  The message prepares you for the real Christmas and for the real joy that God wants you to have in Christmas.  It is joy of peace with God even when conscience accuses.  So don't despise the preaching of that message as though it were old news not worthy of repetition.  Test all the customs of Christmas in your heart and home, and hold fast to those that focus on Christ.  Shun the evil and the debauchery that many pass off as Christmas Spirit. The Christmas Spirit is the joy of holiness because of sin washed away.  It is the joy of knowing that God is faithful and will not leave us or forsake us no matter what happens to us in this life; for the Light of the world is on his way, right around the corner, and he will not disappoint or fail to keep his Word!  Rejoice!

Service - December 10, 2017 - Second Sunday in Advent - Listen! His Word Prepares You

The service for Sunday, December 10, 2017 is a series of 3 sermonettes based on, Isaiah 40:1-11, Mark 1:1-18 and 2 Peter 3:8-14

 

Today's Focus: Listen! His Word prepares you!  Since Jesus' coming is sure and so important, he sends out forerunners in the footsteps of John the Baptist who help us to make proper preparation for his coming.  They do that with a message not their own.  They do it with the message that he himself has given.  We will do well to pay close attention to those heralds of the comong Lord, the prophets and apostles, and to the pastors and teachers in our midst who have succeeded them to get us ready for his coming.
