We talk about the word Hosanna and how it engages us in the paradox of Holy Week, which is the same paradox of Sinner and Saint. Sermon Text: Matthew 26 and 27, the Passion according to Matthew The Plot to Kill Jesus [1] When Jesus had finished all these sayings, he said to his disciples, [2]…
We finish our “Theology of the Cross” series with the final thesis of the theology of the cross, which is all about how God creates what He loves, as opposed to how we can only love what we can experience – and somehow, pizza comes up. Sermon Text: John 11 The Death of Lazarus [1] Now…

It’s Super Bowl Sunday! It’s also the 5th Sunday after Epiphany and we’re talking about Baptism at University Lutheran. Today we talk about Baptism and the concept of “remembering your Baptism” and why it might be better to say “remember that you have been Baptized.”
