The Resurrection Changes Everything! Acts 4:8-12

Text:  Acts 4:8-12
Theme:  "The Resurrection Changes Everything!"
Location:  St. Paul Evangelical Lutheran Church, McConnellsburg, PA

During the passion of our Lord, Peter denied even knowing Jesus.  Yet, in the book of Acts, he becomes a bold witness of the faith.  In this sermon, we discover the reason Peter is so bold in his proclamation of the Savior is found in the resurrection.  And just as it was for Peter, you and I can also be empowered to share the good news of the Gospel with others!

A Sermon From the Archives

Text: Mark 16:1-8
Theme: Mary Magdalene's View of the Resurrection
Location: Our Saviour's Lutheran Church, Audubon, Iowa
Easter Sunday, 2009

I recently came across this video from my last Easter sermon when I was serving Our Saviour's Lutheran Church, Audubon, Iowa and decided to share it with you all here. This was one of my first attempts at a "first person" type of sermon, in which we ponder the good news of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ from the point of view of Mary Magdalene.

For my dearly beloved former parishoners at Our Saviour's, I pray this sermon brings back some good memories for you as it did for me of my time with you and that you are once again built up in faith and the good news that Christ has risen from the dead. For those of you watching this for the first time, I pray that it will be a blessing for you in your faith.
