None of us are immune to stormy times in life.  In this sermon, we hear of a time where the disciples and Jesus were caught in a sudden storm that left the disciples afraid for their life.  In this text, we learn the comforting truth that Christ is in the boat with us in the midst of life's storms!

"About Seeds, Kingdom Growth, and the Gospel" Mark 4:26-34

Text:  Mark 4:26-34
Theme:  "About Seeds, Kingdom Growth, and the Gospel"
Location:  St. Paul's Lutheran Church, Big Cove Tannery, PA

Living in a rural area, most of my parishoners here are familiar with planting seeds.  In this sermon, we examine two "seed" parables of Jesus and learn some lessons that Jesus has for the people of His day, and the church of our day, when it comes to planting and growing the Kingdom of God.

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.
