Treasure the Law of love, treasure Christ all the more

Sermon for Trinity 18 1 Corinthians 1:4-9 + Matthew 22:34-46 Last week we talked a little bit about the unique position of the Third Commandment—the Sabbath Day commandment—among the Ten Commandments as the only commandment that spelled out a ceremony instead of a moral principle. Resting from work on Saturday was a ceremony that God commanded Israel to observe religiously. As we said last week, that ceremonial command was not a universal and permanent expression of God’s will for all people....

They always see the face of the Father

Sermon for the Festival of St. Michael and All Angels Revelation 12:7-12 + Matthew 18:1-11 The Roman Catholic Church has a common prayer to St. Michael. It goes like this: “St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls....

A Sabbath lesson in humility and love

Sermon for Trinity 17 Ephesians 4:1-6 + Luke 14:1-11 Meekness, humility, patience, and love. These are essential qualities and attitudes for those who would walk in the footsteps of Christ, for those who are called the children of God, as you heard Paul say in today’s Epistle. But humility and love are the very qualities and attitudes that were lacking among so many in Israel at the time of Jesus, as we see in today’s Gospel, and we need to be careful that they are not lacking among us Christians....

God’s enemies don’t stand a chance

Sermon for the week of Trinity 16 Deuteronomy 32:39-43 + 1 Corinthians 15:21-28 There are people—lots of them—who think they will get away with rebelling against God. They live as they please, believe what they want, worship how they choose, ignore God’s Word, ignore God’s commandments, and still think they will be fine, in the end. They believe they are in control of their own fate....

Jesus approaches death with compassion and a solution

Sermon for Trinity 16 Ephesians 3:13-21 + Luke 7:11-17 Once every year, the Church Year urges us to deal, directly, with the topic of death. Not in a somber way, but in a sober way. Not in a mournful way, but in a serious way. Not in a hopeless way, but in a hopeful way. And, by the way, we can do that here, in a reverent, traditional worship setting, where people come to worship God in joyful humility, to hear the Word of God, and learn it, and meditate on it, in a way that the entertainment-driven churches simply can’t do....

In God let us trust for our spiritual needs

Sermon for the week of Trinity 15 Deuteronomy 6:4-7 + Acts 8:26-39 In God let us trust. Jesus urged His disciples, in Sunday’s Gospel, to turn away from our trust in Mammon, and to turn away from the worry that comes with trusting in Mammon, and to put our trust in God, our heavenly Father, who cares for us more than we can fathom, and who has promised to provide all that we need for this body and life, so that we don’t have to worry about it....

In God let us trust

Sermon for Trinity 15 Galatians 5:25-6:10 + Matthew 6:24-34 “In God we trust.” That phrase has been printed on U.S. coins since long before any of us here were born, printed on U.S. paper currency before many of us were born. In God we trust. Is it true of everyone who uses U.S. currency? Of course not. In fact, it’s ironic that the money that bears the phrase, “In God we trust” is often the very thing that people replace God with, and trust in it instead....

Chosen to offer acceptable sacrifices

Sermon for the week of Trinity 14 1 Peter 2:4-10 The cry for mercy. The cry of thanksgiving for mercy received. As we discussed on Sunday, those two acts sum up the Christian life. Peter has something to say, especially about the second part, in the Second Lesson you heard this evening. It starts with Jesus, and coming to Jesus, which is what faith is—coming to Jesus, relying on Jesus for the promised rest, forgiveness, and mercy of every kind....

This is love for God: A cry for mercy, a cry of thanks

Sermon for Trinity 14 Galatians 5:16-24 + Luke 17:11-19 In last week’s Gospel, we heard, again, the summary of God’s Law, what God’s will is for mankind: To love God with our whole selves, and to love our neighbor as we love ourselves. In that parable, the focus was on the neighbor. The Good Samaritan taught us how Christians are to love our neighbor, by always being willing to show mercy to the one in our path....

The Promise, the Law, and the Offspring

Sermon for the week of Trinity 13 Galatians 3:15-22 On Sunday, you heard an expert in the Law of Moses test Jesus with a question. “What must I do to inherit eternal life?” Jesus gave him the answer that corresponded to his question. “You must do what the Law says, summarized with, “Love the Lord your God with your whole heart, soul, mind, and strength....
