    Pentecost 7B/Proper 11 preached 7/19/2009 at Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church, Audubon, Iowa. Some material is from Concordia Pulpit Resources, Vol. 19, No. 3. This sermon talks about how Christ meets the phyiscal and spiritial needs of the crowd in the re

    In the 4th petition of The Lord’s Prayer, we are taught to pray the words “Give us this day our daily bread.” Our Gospel reading for this morning is a great illustration of how our Lord goes about answering this petition. And while we usually focus on how Jesus miraculously meets the physical ...read more

    A sermon for Pentecost 12B preached 8/31/2003 at St. Paul Lutheran Church, Garner, Iowa (LCMS).

    I think that it may be a safe assumption to make that when you all came here this evening, you didn’t expect to hear a sermon about grumbling. If you did, boy, someone must have let my secret out of the bag or you hacked into my computer or something……But, in all seriousness, we are confronted ...read more

    A funeral sermon I preached at my grandmother’s funeral on September 13th, 2003 at Prescott, Iowa.

    Jill did a wonderful job and although she probably didn’t know it, her sharing her memories of Grandma actually was a perfect introduction for my message today and what I have on my mind. Memories seem to be the theme of the day for us. It’s served as a basic theme for me to work with ever since ...read more

    A sermon for 17th Sunday After Pentecost/Proper 18 A preached Sept. 7, 2008 at Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church, Audubon, Iowa. It happened to be Sunday School/Christian Education Rally Day.

    Today marks the beginning of a new year of Sunday School, Confirmation, and other Christian Education activities in this congregation. We often refer to it as “Rally Sunday”, although I much prefer to call it “Christian Education Sunday” because we focus on how important Christian Education is not ...read more

If you go to a lot of the local cemeteries, you’ll see the ...read more

    A funeral sermon for one of my shut ins preached 5/27/2009 at Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church. She requested this text and the hymn "Who Is This Host Arrayed in White" at her funeral, and what a comfort it was!

    This morning, we’re here in God’s House because in His great wisdom, God saw fit to call Ellowene Dorothy Christensen to her eternal home on Saturday afternoon. We’re here today to find comfort and strength due to the fact that a mother, grandmother, great grandmother, aunt, (sister), neighbor, ...read more

    Midweek of Easter 5B. Preached 5/14/2009 for Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church Friendship Home Communion Service, Friendship Home Chapel, Audubon Iowa.

    For those of you who either were involved in farming at some point in your life, or enjoy gardening, then the analogy Jesus uses in our Gospel reading for this morning is one that you can really identify with. In it, we have Jesus describing our relationship with Him as that of a branch to a vine. ...read more

    A sermon for the 3rd Sunday of Easter preached 4/26/2009 at Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church, Audubon, Iowa

    Christ is Risen! He is risen indeed! Alleluia! Since we are still in the Easter season, it’s quite appropriate that we begin our message for today with that great news. Two weeks ago, you heard me share with you, through the eyes of Mary Magdalene, how difficult it could be to really believe ...read more

    3rd Sunday in Lent, Series B. Preached 3/15/2009 at Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church, Audubon, Iowa

    Our Gospel reading for this morning is one that tends to catch a lot of people off guard. When you think of Jesus, you don’t usually think of Him as someone who gets angry, who resorts to violent behavior. We think of him as a tender, compassionate, easy going person who wouldn’t hurt a fly. ...read more

    An Epiphany sermon I preached on 1/7/2009 at the Salem Lutheran Home chapel, Elk Horn, Iowa.

    In some ways, you could say that Epiphany is the “last hurrah” of Christmas. It’s the day when we remember the visit of the wise men, or magi as they are called in our text, to worship the Christ child and present the gifts of Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh. It’s a great scene, one that’s often ...read more

    Transfiguration. Now there’s a word you don’t hear every day. In fact, other than one day out of the church year, you might not otherwise hear it. Merriam-Webster’s online dictionary defines the word “Transfiguration” as “a change in form or appearance” or “an exalting, glorifying, or spiritual ...read more
