Trinity XVIII, September 30, 2018 - St. Matthew 22:34-46

Sanctification is important. It is not enough for us to have a head knowledge of what Jesus has done for us. What He has done must be confessed. God wants it show in our lives. A change happens. The Christian does not live to please his sinful flesh. He lives to serve God. He serves God by serving his neighbor. . . .

Summer’s over. Things aren’t the way they were not that long ago. It’s getting cooler out. There’s definitely a lot less light today than there was a month ago.

There’s a war going on. Some of you have served in our armed forces. Perhaps you’ve been on the battlefield and experienced the horrors. Perhaps you were spared those things and served in peace. But you were taught to be prepared for it, and prepared you were. You served your country out of love for her and for your families. . . .

Reformation Sunday, October 28, 2018 - Revelation 14:6-7

It was a time of scandal. Churchmen did not act like you want your pastor to act, nor were they properly trained to preach and teach God’s Word to the people.
