Sermon: The King and His Kingdom | Matthew 3:1-12 | John the Baptist Prepares the Way

The King and His KingdomMatthew 3:1-12 | John the Baptist Prepares the Way
Isaiah foretold that a King would rise as “a shoot from the stump of Jesse.” Long before that, Jacob prophesied that this royal branch would come through the line of Judah and that the “scepter would not depart” until the true ruler appeared. This is why Jacob blessed Judah as a lion, and why the apostle John later identifies Jesus as the “Lion of the tribe of Judah.” Yet this Lion is also the Lamb. John the Baptist points and proclaims, “Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world.”
In Revelation, Jesus is revealed as both the conquering Lion and the sacrificial Lamb. He is the King of kings who comes not to be served but to serve. He reigns not by force but by forgiveness. His throne is a cross, His crown is made of thorns, and His victory is the salvation He wins for sinners.
John the Baptist prepares the way by calling all people to repentance, not to frighten but to free—to make room for the King who brings mercy. His kingdom is made up of those who believe, those who receive the forgiveness, life, and peace He gives. The Lion is the Lamb. And His kingdom, grounded in grace, will have no end.-----Worship TimesSunday – 8:00 & 10:45 a.m.Monday – 6:30 p.m.

Sermon: The King is Coming. Get Off the Throne! | Matthew 21:1–11 | The Triumphant Entry

The King is Coming. Get Off the Throne!Matthew 21:1–11 | The Triumphant Entry
Advent begins with a stunning announcement. The King is coming. Get off your throne. Like Humpty Dumpty, we love to sit on thrones that are not ours, trying to rule our own lives. And like Humpty, we fall. Sin is more than bad behavior. It is the pride of self-rule, the illusion that we are in control, the stubborn belief that we answer to no one. And once we shatter, we cannot put ourselves back together again.
Yet Advent begins with hope. The true King comes to restore the broken. In the Collect of the Day we pray, “Stir up Your power, O Lord, and come.” We confess that we cannot save ourselves from the perils of our sins. We ask God to come into our darkness, pride, and fractured lives. And He does. Not by calling us upward, but by coming downward in His Son.
Jesus enters Jerusalem on a humble donkey. He comes not with force but with mercy, not to be served but to save. His throne will be a cross. His crown will be thorns. His victory will be His death and resurrection. This is the King who answers our Advent prayer with His suffering and with His life-giving triumph.
Christ continues to come to His people even now. In His Word, in Holy Baptism, and in His Supper He gathers the fallen and makes them whole. At His altar, the King gives His own body and blood for forgiveness and strength. The King is coming. Let every heart prepare Him room.-----Worship TimesSunday – 8:00 & 10:45 a.m.Monday – 6:30 p.m.

Sermon: Jesus Remembered Him, and He Remembers You | Luke 23:27–43. The Crucifixion

Jesus Remembered Him, and He Remembers YouLuke 23:27–43. The Crucifixion
The worst feeling is not loneliness. It is being forgotten. When you are lonely, you still know you exist. You still feel the ache of wanting someone near. But when you are forgotten, it feels as though you never mattered at all. It is as if every moment you shared with others has faded away, leaving you unseen and unheard while the world keeps moving on without you.
This is why the criminal beside Jesus prays the way he does. He does not ask for release, or relief, or one last miracle. He asks for something far greater. “Jesus, remember me, when You come into Your kingdom.” In that moment of repentance and faith, he entrusts everything to the One who will not forget him.
And Jesus does remember him. He remembers him as He takes him with Him through death and into eternal life. The first person ever to enter paradise after the crucifixion is a sinner who simply asked to be remembered by the Savior who came to remember the forgotten.
Jesus remembered him. And He remembers you. He remembers your name. He remembers your sorrows. He remembers your sins and takes them as His own. He remembers His promises to you, and He keeps them. Even when the world forgets you or you fear you have slipped through the cracks, Christ does not forget. You are held in His heart and His hands, now and forever.-----Worship TimesSunday – 8:00 & 10:45 a.m.Monday – 6:30 p.m.
