Bible Study: My Mouth will Declare Your Praise | Luke 19:28–40 | The Triumphant Entry

O Lord, open my lips and my mouth will declare Your praise,” writes the psalmist (Psalm 51:15).  The Lord opened the lips of a whole “multitude of his disciples” at His first advent, disciples who had seen Jesus make the blind to see, the deaf to hear, the lame to walk, and who had just witnessed the raising of Lazarus from the dead.  As Jesus entered Jerusalem on a lowly donkey, they “began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works they had seen.”  Likewise, today in His advent among us on the lowly “donkey” of mere words, the Lord opens our lips, and our mouths declare His praise for the forgiveness, life, and peace He comes to bring here, into His church, for us and for the life of the world.-----Trinity Lutheran Church, School and Child Care have been "Making Known the Love of Christ" in Sheboygan, Wisconsin and throughout the world since 1853 as a congregation gathering around God's Word and Sacraments to receive forgiveness and life everlasting.

Sermon: Looking Forward to a New Heaven & a New Earth | Mark 13:24-37

So, the end of the Church Year is good for us. It gives us glasses to correct our near-sightedness and enable us to look ahead, to look forward to the end and Jesus coming again. And to triage our lives rightly, and know what really matters, and what does not. And to know that when that day comes, it will be a day of joy. The day we have been looking forward to. 
For the same Jesus who comes to us now, here, hidden in water, words, and bread and wine, will be the Jesus who comes then, in glory. And all the family of God will be home. Our brothers and sisters in Christ from the beginning of time to the end of time, and from every people, tribe, nation, and language. That day will be all the holidays - Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, Easter, birthdays - all rolled into one big celebration. A joy unlike any other.-----Trinity Lutheran Church, School and Child Care have been "Making Known the Love of Christ" in Sheboygan, Wisconsin and throughout the world since 1853 as a congregation gathering around God's Word and Sacraments to receive forgiveness and life everlasting.

Sermon: When You Don’t Know What to Say |Mark 13:1–13 |Jesus Foretells Destruction of the Temple

There are times in your life when you don’t know what to say. Given the disciples’ questions, that was certainly the case when Jesus told them that the magnificent buildings they had just admired would be destroyed. Jesus also told them that there would be a time when they would stand before authorities who would seek their demise, and that not if, but when that happened, they should not be anxious about what to say. The Holy Spirit would give them the Lord’s words to say. So it is with you when you don’t know what to say amid the trials and tribulations of life in this fallen world. The Holy Spirit will give you the words of the Lord to say, words that are filled with His Spirit and life.-----Trinity Lutheran Church, School and Child Care have been "Making Known the Love of Christ" in Sheboygan, Wisconsin and throughout the world since 1853 as a congregation gathering around God's Word and Sacraments to receive forgiveness and life everlasting.

Sermon: We are Worldly Widows yet Heavenly Brides | Mark 12:38–44 | The Widow's Offering

You may be someone in this world or no one. You may be rich or poor. You may be loved or despised. But Jesus sees in you what the world cannot see: His Bride. And so, for you He has come. For you He has seated His body and blood on this altar. To give you what you do not have, cleanse you, and betroth you to Himself once again. Each time His holy body is placed into your mouth and His holy blood is poured over your lips, you hear His loving, self- sacrificing “I do.” I do love you. I do forgive you. I do take you. And you know what? 
That makes you, in the midst of this world of abundance, the richest ones of all. You are rich in faith, rich in hope and rich in love. To give as you have been given to, and to live not in fear, but to be who you are: no longer a widow, but a dearly loved Bride for all eternity.-----Trinity Lutheran Church, School and Child Care have been "Making Known the Love of Christ" in Sheboygan, Wisconsin and throughout the world since 1853 as a congregation gathering around God's Word and Sacraments to receive forgiveness and life everlasting.
