    My farewell sermon at Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church, Audubon, Iowa preached 1/10/2010.

    I’ve found that of all the sermons that I have prepared to be preached from this pulpit, this one that I have to preach today has perhaps been the most difficult to write. For starters, it’s an emotional one because this is the last time I will preach to you from this pulpit as your Pastor. If ...read more

    In Acts 20, the Apostle Paul gives a farewell speech to the Ephesian elders. What can we learn from this speech?

    During his third missionary journey, Paul wanted to meet with Ephesian elders and give a charge to them. However, he did not travel to Ephesus probably because he was warned it would be too dangerous, so he sent messengers and had the Ephesian elders meet him at Miletus. The reason why Paul ...read more

    Many times a "final" farewell surrounds the death of a friend or loved one, but Christ’s farewell was about comfort, vision, and encouragement to his disciples and the Church.

    Have you ever spoken with someone knowing it was the last time you would see them and your last opportunity to speak with them? I remember having that type of conversation with a cousin several years ago. He was dying from a terminal disease, and Paula and I made the trip to see and speak with Pat ...read more
