Only the Spirit can open ears and tongues

Sermon for Trinity 12 2 Corinthians 3:4-11 + Mark 7:31-37 The healing miracles of Jesus all teach the same basic things, about Jesus’ kindness, goodness, compassion, and power. We don’t ever want to overlook those basic things about our Savior, or turn His miracles into nothing more than lessons about something else. The real power of God was truly on display every time Jesus miraculously healed a disease or a malady, and so were His kindness, goodness, and compassion....

The account of the Pharisee and the sinful woman

Sermon for the week of Trinity 11 Romans 10:4-18 + Luke 7:36-50 On Sunday, we considered Jesus’ parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector. This evening, we consider, not the parable, but the real-life story of the Pharisee and the sinful woman, in which a similar lesson is being taught. The three main characters here are Jesus, the unnamed woman, and Simon the Pharisee....

You stand by God’s mercy, or not at all

Sermon for Trinity 11 1 Corinthians 15:1-10 + Luke 18:9-14 We have one of my favorite parables before us again today, the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector. It’s one of my favorites, because it presents the chief article of the Christian faith so simply that a child can understand it. How can a person stand before God and not be condemned?...

Greater punishment for squandering greater gifts

Sermon for the week of Trinity 10 Jeremiah 7:1-15 + Matthew 11:16-24 Building off Sunday’s theme of the destruction of Jerusalem, and the warning about the fate of those who reject the Christ, we turn to the two lessons you heard this evening, from Jeremiah 7 and from Matthew 11. In Sunday’s Gospel, Jesus was actually alluding to Jeremiah’s prophecy when He said that the Jews had turned the temple into a “den of thieves.” Hear again Jeremiah’s words to the impenitent Jews in his day: …...

The fate of those who reject the Christ

Sermon for Trinity 10 1 Corinthians 12:1-11 + Luke 19:41-48 On this day in the Church Year, the Church remembers the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70, prophesied by Jesus some 40 years before it happened. Why do we remember it every year? First, because the prophecy of Jerusalem’s destruction is recorded for us in the Word of God, by inspiration of the Holy Spirit—here in today’s Gospel, and in other passages, too....

The kingdom is yours, so it’s ok to part with some things

Sermon for the week of Trinity 9 Luke 12:32-40 Do not fear, little flock, said the Good Shepherd to His little band of disciples. “Little flock.” Because, even though multitudes may follow Jesus outwardly, the true Church has always been just a remnant, a little, leftover group, despised by the world, because they are not of the world. They are “the holy believers and lambs who hear the voice of their Shepherd,” as Luther put it in the Smalcald Articles....

Make lasting friends for yourself with God’s wealth

Sermon for Trinity 9 1 Corinthians 10:6-13 + Luke 16:1-9 In today’s Epistle, Paul presented part of the tragic history of the Old Testament Israelites, how time and time again they became arrogant before God, thought they could defy Him without consequence, because they were His chosen people. They learned the hard way that you can’t. There will be consequences for defying God, and they may be deadly....

From stumbling prophet to a bronze wall

Sermon for the week of Trinity 8 Jeremiah 15:19-21 + Acts 20:17-38 This week’s focus, drawn, as usual, from Sunday’s Gospel, is on doctrine—true vs. false—and on the prophets who preach it—true vs. false. In the second lesson this evening, St. Paul warned the elders of Ephesus about false teachers who would come in like wolves, while, on the other hand, he reminded them of his own example, that he had revealed to them the whole counsel of God, in spite of the opposition he had faced, in spite of the sufferings he knew he was about to face....

The Shepherd warns His sheep to watch out for wolves

Sermon for Trinity 8 Romans 8:12-17 + Matthew 7:15-23 You know that the title “pastor” means “shepherd,” and that every pastor is charged with imitating the shepherding of Jesus, the Good Shepherd. That includes feeding the sheep and the lambs, tending to wounds, guiding the way through the desert, seeking the lost and bringing them into the sheepfold. All that is done simply through preaching, teaching, and applying the Word of God....

God’s care triumphs over man’s abuse

Sermon for the week of Trinity 7 Jeremiah 31:23-25 + Matthew 10:24-31 Jeremiah’s words in tonight’s First Lesson echo the truth revealed in Sunday’s Gospel of the feeding of the four thousand. For I have satiated the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul. What beautiful words! What Jesus did physically for the crowds that day in providing freely for their bodies is a picture of how God promises to comfort and provide for His people., body and soul....
