We continue our series on the “Signs of Life” by talking about movement and how Jesus as our good shepherd moves us for our good. Sermon Scripture: Psalm 23 The LORD Is My Shepherd A Psalm of David. [1] The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. [2] He makes me lie down in green…
We talk about how Jesus is constantly moving forward and how that should be something that the Church is always doing as well, being invited on Jesus’ forward movement. Sermon Scripture: Mark 1:29–39 And immediately he left the synagogue and entered the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John. Now Simon’s mother-in-law lay ill…
We talk today about the somewhat confusing parable of the talents and ask the question if God wants us to be prepared. Sermon Scripture: Matthew 25:14–30 The Parable of the Talents [14] “For it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants and entrusted to them his property. [15] To one…

We continue our “Concordia” series about the Book of Concord talking about the Augsburg Confession, Exodus 19, and what it means to “subscribe”. Sermon Text: Exodus 19:2-8 [2] They set out from Rephidim and came into the wilderness of Sinai, and they encamped in the wilderness. There Israel encamped before the mountain, [3] while Moses…
