Fifth Sunday after EpiphanyPor Rev. Bryan Wolfmueller

[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus. Amen. Dear Saints, we have two examples in the readings this morning of a terrified conscience, and we want to think about that—what that means also for us. The first is Saint Peter, who was a disciple of Jesus already, but Jesus had released him, and James and John, back to their fishing for a time unt…

[Machine transcription] In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Well, dear brothers and sisters in Christ, maybe you’re thinking deja vu. If you’re thinking that you’ve recently heard today’s gospel lesson, you would be correct. Six weeks ago, the first Sunday after Christmas, we had this exact text with a few verse…

[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear Aidan and Francis and all of the Lord’s children, we give thanks to God today that even though the flower fades and the grass withers, the word of the Lord endures forever. And we rejoice in that word now. Especially, we want to take up the problem that I think all of our texts are addressing…

[Machine transcription] This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee and manifested his glory, and his disciples believed in him. Please be seated.

The Baptism of Our LordPor Rev. Bryan Wolfmueller
…
continue reading
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear saints, this morning we consider the wisdom and courage of baptism—the baptism that the Lord Jesus has given to all of his people. And if, by the way, you’re visiting and you haven’t been baptized, make sure to check in with me before you leave and we can work on that. Martin Luther says abou…

As we celebrate the Lord's Baptism, may we remember how our own Baptisms unite us as a faith community, where we support one another by being cautious with expectations, and instead relying on Christ's faith to guide and sustain us.Por Vicar Nicholas Breining

[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, Amen. He has crammed just about every word for joy in the smallest possible space. Listen to what happens with these wise men when they see the star, which apparently had disappeared for a little while while they got to Jerusalem, and then the scribes called by Herod tell them that the Messiah is going …

[Machine transcription] In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Every single year of his earthly life, our Lord Jesus came to Jerusalem to celebrate the seven days of the Passover according to the law of Moses.

[Machine transcription] In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

First Sunday of ChristmasPor Rev. Robert E. LeBlanc
…
continue reading
[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, Amen. The first is that we want to remember that our Lord Jesus Christ, the second person of the Holy Trinity, is eternal. That he was begotten of the Father before all worlds. In that eternal day, like we chanted in Psalm 2, today I have begotten you. We heard it confessed by John in the very first ver…

While John's sermon may be a bit jarring (replete with fire, brimstone, & name-calling), it is indeed Good News. The Savior is bringing a new way of living that uplifts the marginalized and offers peace to all (vipers and non-vipers alike).Por Rev. Zachary D. Wagner
