Sermons from September 2024

On God’s Work, Our Hands Sunday, our gospel text focuses on who is the greatest and how Jesus reframes such thinking. Turning the normal hierarchy upside down, in the reign of Christ the first will be last and last will be first. Listen for more about what this means for our lives of faith and service.

In the text today, Jesus asks his disciples “Who do you say that I am?” and then encourages them to take up the cross and follow him. This sermon focuses on the question: How does our naming of Christ empower us to follow him?

Contemplate Jesus’s metanoia moment in the sermon from Mark’s gospel today.

“God does not need your good works, but your neighbor does.” -Martin Luther. This sermon focuses on faith, works, and Lutheran theology!
