Trinity 13 – 2026
UNTIL THE OFFSPRING WILL COME Galatians 3:15-22 (ESV). To give a human example, brothers: even with a man-made covenant, no one annuls it or adds to it once it has been ratified. Now the promises were made to Abraham and to his offspring. It does not say, “And to offsprings,” referring to many, but referring to one, “And to your Offspring,” who is Christ. This is what I mean: the law, which came 430 years afterward, does not annul a…

Lord, this is Your Word, and these are Your words. Sanctify us by the truth. Your Word is truth. Almighty God, to know You is everlasting life. Grant us to know Your…

JESUS’ TEARS FOR HIS PEOPLE PREACH MERCY Sermon Text: St. Luke 19:41-48 (v. 41-42).

But now they are hidden from your eyes.” Lord, this is Your Word and these are Your words. Sanctify us by the truth. Your Word is truth. Lord, You did not want to hide…

Give an account of your stewardship.’ ” Lord, this is Your Word, and these are Your words. Sanctify us by the truth. Your Word is truth.

Trinity 8 – 2026
GOD SAYS TO THE PREACHER, “YOU SHALL BE AS MY MOUTH” In today’s gospel lesson, Jesus says, “Beware of false prophets.” He had not yet sent out men to preach in His name, whether apostles, evangelists, or pastors. He uses the word prophets since that had been the office of those who publicly spoke what God commanded them to speak. But now in the New Testament era it’s the office of pastor. When Jesus says “prophets,” He’s speaking about those…
Trinity 7 – 2026
HE (CHRIST) IS MY LORD Sermon Text, Romans 6:19-23 (NIV84). I put this in human terms because you are weak in your natural selves. Just as you used to offer the parts of your body in slavery to impurity and to ever-increasing wickedness, so now offer them in slavery to righteousness leading to holiness. When you were slaves to sin, you were free from the control of righteousness. What benefit did you reap at that time from the things you…

ONENESS Two hundred fifty years ago was the birth of our nation. It was July 2, 1776, that the Resolution for Independence was approved by the colonies in a unanimous vote, and July 4, 1776 – 250 years ago yesterday – that the Declaration of Independence was approved in another unanimous vote. The unity expressed in the voting for independence was a miracle. Delaware only voted in favor because Caesar Rodney rode 70 miles through the night in a thunderstorm…

Part 1 ↑ Part 2 ↓ STANDING ON A SOLID FOUNDATION The Sermon Text, 1 Peter 5:6-11. Therefore, humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you. Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your…

Trinity 2 – HEARING THE GOSPEL IS BEING INVITED The Text, St. Luke 14:15-24 (v. 16-17). Then He said to him, “A certain man gave a great supper and invited many, and sent his servant at supper time to say to those who were invited, ‘Come, for all things are now ready.’ ” Lord, this is Your Word, and these are Your words. Make us Yours by the truth. Your Word is truth. Dear heavenly Father, You have invited us to…
