The apostle James writes in his epistle, “What does it profit, my brethren, if someone says he has faith, but does not have works? If a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily food, and one of you says to him, “Depart in peace, be warmed and be filled,” but you do notContinue reading “Sermon for the Twelfth Sunday after Trinity”

The grace of God, the Father, through Christ Jesus, does not make one proud, but it makes one humble. Without true humility, we have not yet become partakers of the Lord’s goodness and mercy. For the grace of God is truly like a stream as it flows downward and not upwards. For we know theContinue reading “Sermon for Eleventh Sunday after Trinity (Luke 18:9-14)”

The great flood in the days of Noah has been recorded for our instruction. God destroyed the entire world by means of water as judgment upon their sins as a result of their unbelief in the promises and grace that He bestows. Yet, the Lord God saves believing Noah and his family in the ark.Continue reading “Sermon for the Tenth Sunday after Trinity (Luke 19:41-48)”

The parable that is before us, concerning the Unjust Steward, is one that is meant to call us to consider the absolute magnitude of God’s grace towards the children of Adam. As our forefather and his wife had everything they could ever desire. And to remain in the land of paradise, they were to remainContinue reading “Sermon from the Ninth Sunday after Trinity (Luke 16:1-9)”

The devil is precisely aware of the gift of salvation that God extends to sinners by the death and Resurrection of His only begotten Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, and this causes him to be filled with disgust towards our God and towards us. For him, to know that we are saved eternally by whatContinue reading “Sermon for the eighth Sunday after Trinity (Matt. 7:15-23)”

The crowd of 4000 had been with the Lord Jesus for three days in the wilderness. Yet the crowd may have been following Jesus for days or weeks, as they witnessed Him go from Jerusalem to this point. On this journey, Christ cast out demons and healed a man who was mute and deaf. TheContinue reading “Sermon for the Seventh Sunday after Trinity (Mark 8:1-9)”

When the Lord Jesus says to the crowds at the Sermon on the Mount, “That unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the Scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven,” this seems to them as an unbearable task of good works and ritual purity. At the time of Jesus’Continue reading “Sermon for Sixth Sunday after Trinity (Matthew 5:20-26)”

 The Apostle Paul writes to the church in Rome, “How then shall they call upon Him in whom they have not believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher?” Our faith and trust in Christ are the work of God entirelyContinue reading “Sermon for the Fifth Sunday after Trinity (Luke 5:1-11)”

  The words from our gospel reading, “Judge not,” have been turned into a slogan by misguided Christians and unbelievers. I use the word slogan purposely because the way they use these words of our Lord is not the way He uses them. And so they are not Christ’s words at all, but they goContinue reading “Sermon for the fourth Sunday after Trinity (Luke 6:36-42)”

The commonly attributed title for this parable, “the prodigal son,” is misleading because it assumes that the father has only one son who has sinned against him. Instead, Jesus makes very clear that this man has two sons. The younger son, whom we all remember. He goes to his father to ask for his inheritanceContinue reading “Sermon for the third Sunday after Trinity (Luke 15:11-32)”
