Then there were two balconies that ran along the sides of the main area. They said they could seat over 600 people in that building. ...read more

    Why does Matthew add the story of the slaughter of the baby boys in Bethlehem. First becasue it is fact and second to trigger assocaiations between Jesus birth and Moses birth (see details in sermon)

    I came across this excerpt from a sermon from the Early Church Father St. Quod-vult-deus (Sermo 2 de Symbolo: PL 40, 655) “A tiny child is born, who is a great king. Wise men are led to him from afar. They come to adore one who lies in a manger and yet reigns in heaven and on earth. When ...read more

    Hearing about birth of Jesus does not produce the same emotion in all that witness the events that surround the birth of baby Jesus. When Herod The King Heard This, He Was Troubled, And All Jerusalem With Him.

For we have seen His star in the East and have come to worship Him.” When Herod the king heard ...read more

    An Epiphany sermon I preached on 1/7/2009 at the Salem Lutheran Home chapel, Elk Horn, Iowa.

    In some ways, you could say that Epiphany is the “last hurrah” of Christmas. It’s the day when we remember the visit of the wise men, or magi as they are called in our text, to worship the Christ child and present the gifts of Gold, Frankincense, and Myrrh. It’s a great scene, one that’s often ...read more

    Gold, frankincense, and myrrh. But myrrh is not the final gift. The final gift is the one that God has given to us: the death, the sacrifice, the resurrection of Christ and our death, our resurrection into new life … eternal life with Him … a joy past all telling.

The city began to buzz as the news of their arrival spread … eventually reaching the courts and ears of King Herod. A caravan of magi had travelled all the way ...read more
