    A sermon for the 2nd Sunday in Advent preached 12/6/2009 at Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church, Audubon, Iowa. It is a revision of a sermon I preached in 2003 on the same text.

Maybe you thought that this morning as you entered the church, and you noticed that the Christmas trees are now up here in the chance,, wreaths are hung outside the ...read more

    Encountering God is a life changing experience. We are never the same.

    Luke 3:7-18 “We Change” INTRODUCTION While walking through life, one of the interesting things to do is to observe fads. I’m not sure how they begin or end. All I know is that after the fad is over people always ask themselves, “Why did I do it?” and “What did I see in it?” Remember ...read more

    A sermon for Baptism of the Lord Sunday.

    Luke 3:15-17, 21-22 “God is Delighted with You!” By: Ken Sauer, Pastor of East Ridge United Methodist Church, Chattanooga, TN I think it’s safe to say that John the Baptist was as surprised as we are! Or at least, as surprised we should be if we were to read this passage of ...read more

    You Are Mine: Baptism Of Jesus

     | 20,118 views

    This is a series of three mini-sermons to be preached with the lessons of the day for the Baptism of Jesus Sunday (Isaiah 43:1-7; Romans 6:1-11; Luke 3:15-22). It works well to have the reader read the lessons during the sermon.

    Isaiah 43:1-7; Romans 6:1-11; Luke 3:15-22 This morning’s sermon is going to be a little different as we celebrate the Baptism of Christ. I say a little different because as we look at Jesus Baptism, and by way of that, our own baptism and what it means to us, we’ll find that each of our Bible ...read more

    There are numerous questions surrounding the life of Jesus. This sermon attempts to answer the question as to why Jesus submitted to baptism.

    Luke 3: 15 – 17; 21-22 – Questions Intro: Recently I received an email from a friend that was a sort of survey. It contained a lot of questions. Questions like, “What is your favorite color? What are you wearing right now? What kind of car do you drive?” Those ...read more

    John warns peopel of the comming of God. He is direct and pounds guilt into his hearers.

    On this “Baptism of Jesus” Sunday we might very well ask what John asked. Why did Jesus need to be baptized? Like John it is also good for us to see our need for baptism by Jesus.

    John the Baptist. That name brings powerful images to mind. Camel’s hair clothes held together with a leather belt. Grasshoppers dipped in wild honey for a sweet and crunchy meal. Saying the morally right thing at the socially wrong time. John was the one who called the people who came to hear ...read more

    While examining the word that came to John "Prepare the way of the Lord" this sermon discusses the life-giving influence that occurs when God sends His word and discusses what it means to prepare the way of the Lord.

    Prepare the Way of the Lord Luke 3:1-18[1] 1-2-05 The action in our text this morning begins with a powerful Hebrew statement. Luke 3:2 “...the word of the Lord came to John...” When God wants to strike a holy match and set His people on fire, that is the match He uses—“the word of the Lord ...read more

    How is the soil of your heart? Are you ready to receive what God has to say? Learn what true repentance means and doesn’t mean in the ministry of John the Baptist.

    Let me say first of all that I am not the gardener in our family - that’s my wife. I am the assistant gardener. But I have learned a thing or two over the years. One is that without adequate soil preparation your garden will not grow plants, it will simply grow seedlings that will be eaten by ...read more
