    Can Anything Good Come Out Of Our Saviour's Lutheran Church?

    Contributed by Christopher Martin on Jan 19, 2009
    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,244 views

    A sermon for the 2nd Sunday after the Epiphany preached at Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church, Audubon 1/18/09. It plays off Nathaniel’s question in the text "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?"

    “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” That’s quite a question for Nathaniel to be asking this morning, isn’t it? If you were from Nazareth, you might hear that as quite an insult. Just imagine someone you just met asking where you were from, and you say you’re from Audubon, Iowa, and they ...read more

    The Nativity Scene And Peace

    Contributed by Christopher Martin on Dec 29, 2008
    based on 3 ratings
     | 4,421 views

    A Christmas Eve sermon preached Christmas Eve, 2008 at Our Saviour’s Lutheran CHurch, Audubon, IA. It looks at the nativity scene.

    While the birth of our Savior took place over 2000 years ago, I want to begin our Christmas sermon a little more recently. It’s the fall of 1944. Eduard Kaib, an architecht who was serving as a non-commissioned officer in the German army, had been captured by American forces in combat. Kaib ...read more

    A Christmas sermon preached 12/25/2008 at Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church, Audubon, Iowa on Christmas morning.

    In most public buildings, in order to gain an occupancy permit, you are required to have all the exits in your building clearly marked with “Exit” signs. Now our church building was built before that became a regulation, which is why you don’t see Exit signs here, but if you did, there would be ...read more

    One of the Advent hymns that we will be singing during communion this morning is “Comfort, Comfort Now My People”, it’s hymn #29 in the Lutheran Book of Worship. The first line of the hymn says “Comfort, Comfort, now my people; “Tell of Peace” so says our God. (LBW 29 v.1) I have to admit, I ...read more

    Being A Thankful Leper

    based on 10 ratings
     | 8,211 views

    A Thanksgiving Eve sermon preached November 26, 2008 @ Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church, Audubon, Iowa.

    What kind of a leper are you? I know, that has to be one of the most unusual questions you’ve probably ever been asked by a Pastor from the pulpit. Especially when you consider that we’re here for a Thanksgiving service. Lepers and Thanksgiving, they don’t seem to go together, do they? So why ...read more

    14th Sunday after Pentecost/Proper 15 Series A. Preached at Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church, Audubon, IA on 8/17/2008

    “Great is your faith!” How would you feel if I as your Pastor were to tell someone that about you? I’m guessing that you’d think you must be doing something right. And to be honest, I’ve been around you folks long enough now to be able to say that about quite a few of you. Our congregation is ...read more

     | 8,306 views

    A wedding sermon for a young couple just out of college. I used a dual text, Genesis 2:18-24 and 1 Corinthians 13:4-7.

    Justin and Amanda, here you are, standing in front of this altar, surrounded by your family and friends, ready to make your vows as husband and wife. All the planning, all the phone calls, little details you have had to prepare for, it’s all over, and here you are. Your wedding day. It’s my hope ...read more

    Virgil's Race Is Won!

     | 6,075 views

    A funeral sermon for a 79 year old man who had been afflicted with Parkinson’s disease for the last 18 years of his life, but never wavered from his faith. Perhaps my best sermon yet.

    “Pastor, I wish you could have known Virgil in his younger years, before Parkinson’s took its toll on him.” I’ve heard that said quite a bit by both Virgil’s family members and friends since I came to Audubon last fall. From the things I’ve heard from his family and others in the community, I ...read more

    A sermon preached on Confirmation Sunday/3rd Sunday after Pentecost (proper 4) at Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church, Audubon, Iowa.

    Well, today is the big day! Confirmation Sunday! In a few moments, these 12 young people will stand in front of this altar, and make some pretty big promises. This last Wednesday evening, you read your essays entitled “What It Means to Me to Be a Christian” and made some pretty bold statements of ...read more

    What Jesus Says About Doubt

    Contributed by Christopher Martin on Apr 2, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,785 views

    A sermon preached at the Salem Lutheran Home Chapel in Elk Horn, Iowa during the week of the 2nd Sunday of Easter. This sermon looks at doubt, both Thomas’ doubts about the resurrection, as well as our doubts, and what Jesus has to say about them.

    How many of you there this morning have ever heard the phrase “Doubting Thomas?” I’m guessing quite a few of you have at some point in your life. We usually use it to refer to someone who doubts the truth of what we’re trying to tell them. That phrase “Doubting Thomas” comes from Thomas, one of ...read more

    based on 9 ratings
     | 16,127 views

    A Palm Sunday sermon illustraing the turn of events from the joyful shouts of "Hosanna" on Palm Sunday to "Crucify Him" on Good Friday.

    As some of you may be aware, today has two names on the church calendar. Most of you know today by it’s more common name, Palm Sunday. It’s the day the Sunday School children process into the church, waving their palm branches, and we as a congregation sing “Hosanna, Loud Hosanna”, remembering ...read more

    A funeral sermon for an 85 year old woman who had passed away due to a blood disorder, and had gradually lost a lot of her memory in her last month. I was at her bedside when she was called home, and her last moments served as a powerful witness to mysel

    Some of you as you arrived here this morning may have already noticed the two hymns that were chosen for the congregation to sing are “Softly and Tenderly” and “Precious Lord, Take My Hand.” Although they appear in our newer hymnbook, With One Voice, they’re actually pretty old, familiar hymns. ...read more

    Rest For Today And Forever

    Contributed by Christopher Martin on Mar 15, 2008
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,091 views

    I preached this at my grandmother’s funeral. She was 88 and althogh her health had been declining, her death was very sudden. Her last request of me was to officiate at her funeral, which I did and was the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my ministry.

    (Reading of the obituary) I think it’s pretty safe to say that this day came as a great shock to almost every one of us in this room here today. While we knew that Grandma wasn’t in the best of health, and had some past health issues a little over 4 years ago, none of us thought that we’d be ...read more

    A funeral sermon for a 71 year old man who passed away just a few weeks after being diagnosed with a brain tumor. I was at his bedside as he took his last breath and based my message on the liturgical canticle the "Nunc Dimmitus" which I sung at his beds

    Sermon Text: “Lord, now you are letting your servant depart in peace, according to your word; for my eyes have seen your salvation that you have prepared in the presence of all peoples, a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and for glory to your people Israel.” Just a few short months ago, I ...read more
