    A sermon for the 2nd Sunday in Advent preached 12/6/2009 at Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church, Audubon, Iowa. It is a revision of a sermon I preached in 2003 on the same text.

    Well, here we are, today is the 2nd Sunday in Advent. We’re one week closer to the big day! Christmas! You can tell its closer! Maybe you thought that this morning as you entered the church, and you noticed that the Christmas trees are now up here in the chance,, wreaths are hung outside the ...read more

    Faithfulness to God’s people. Faithfulness of God. For LWML (Lutheran Women’s Missionary Leauge) Sunday.

    Intro The words of Ruth are some of the most beautiful and moving words of Scripture. Ruth cried to her mother-in-law, Naomi: “Wherever you go, I will go, and wherever you live, I will live. Your people will be my people, and your God will be my God.” Such loyalty is moving and inspiring. Yet, ...read more

    A sermon preached for the 50th anniversary of St. Peter Lutheran Church in St. Albert, Alberta, Canada.

    Today we celebrate the 50th anniversary of St. Peter Lutheran Church. 50 years. If this congregation was a man, he could expect that half of this life has already passed, and so have the days when he had no love handles or wrinkles. But a congregation is not an individual—it’s more like ...read more

  • God's Gifts, Our Thanksgiving

     | 7,221 views

    A Thanksgiving Eve sermon preached 11/25/2009 at Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church, Audubon, Iowa.

    Our Gospel lesson for this evening introduces us to a group of 10 “mystery” men. I say this because we don’t know much about these guys. They may come from completely different backgrounds, be different ages, and for all we know, they may not get along very well. But, they had one common ...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

  • Rejoicing In Repentance

     | 3,732 views

    A sermon for the 3rd Sunday in Advent preached 12/12/2009. It had a dual text, the other is John 3:7-18 and shows us how we as Christians can rejoice in repentance!

    “Rejoice in the Lord always, again, I will say Rejoice!” That’s how our Epistle reading for this morning begins. In fact, the traditional Latin name for this Sunday in Advent is Gaudete, meaning, Joy, based on that verse, which was for years a portion of the Introit for the day. Yet, joy is ...read more

  • Responsibilities Of The Watchmen And Those Being Watched

    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

  • A Lenten Catechesis-Holy Communion Series

    Contributed by Christopher Martin on Mar 22, 2013
     | 6,876 views

    The last sermon in the Lenten Catechesis series, this sermon focuses on the sacrament of Holy Communion.

    One of the things I discovered very quickly in my earlier years as a parish pastor is the joy that Pastors have, and the special relationship that they develop with homebound members of the congregation. In many cases, these dear older saints are people who because of their advanced age and lack ...read more

  • Sons And Daughters Series

    Romans 8 is one of the most beloved and comforting chapters of the Bible. As Paul writes this chapter, he gives us a wonderful picture of salvation: adoption.

    In my NIV Study Bible, the cover and blank pages toward the front are filled with Bible verses. When I got that Bible in college, I would write on the cover and those empty pages Bible verses that I liked and wanted to be able to reference easily and quickly. One day, as I was flipping through ...read more

  • The Real King

     | 6,765 views

    A Sermon for Christ the King Sunday preached on 11/22/2009 at Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church, Audubon, Iowa.

    Today is Christ the King Sunday, the final Sunday of the church year, so it would seem appropriate to sing the great hymn “Crown Him with Many Crowns”, and in addition, to talk about kingdoms. Today in our Gospel reading, we are taken into a conversation between two different kings. And it is ...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

  • God's Forgiveness Is Not Like Our Forgiveness-That's A Good Thing!

    based on 5 ratings
     | 4,501 views

    A sermon preached 9/11/2011 for a joint service of the McConnellsburg Lutheran Parish that speaks of the topic of forgiveness.

    Our Gospel reading has quite a parable to it. One that has a lesson that seems so simple and practical, yet, when the rubber meets the road, we find out it’s not so easy. It even seems as if Peter doesn’t quite get it at first. And on this day, 10 years after the terrorist attacks in ...read more

  • Being A Thankful Leper

    based on 10 ratings
     | 8,181 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

  • Unlikely Preachers Of The Gospel

     | 1,485 views

    This is a sermon I preached on Tuesday of Holy Week, 2022, to a gathering of Lutheran pastors for our monthly fellowship meeting.

    I’d like for you to join with me in thinking back to your high school years for a moment, and in doing so, how many of you at your high school had a poll asking for who in your graduating class was most likely to do certain things? What was yours? I graduated from Garner-Hayfield High School in ...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
