    Sheherds, Sheep And The Good Shepherd"

    A Sermon for Proper 11, Series B preached 7/22/2012 as a guest speaker at Redeemer Lutheran Church, Estherville, Iowa. Redeemer was in the midst of a pastoral vacancy at the time I preached this sermon.

    I found it rather interesting that out of all the Sundays I could have come to visit your congregation and share a message from God’s Word with you, it had to be this one. In the readings you just heard that were appointed for today, we are given word pictures of sheep and shepherds. I just ...read more

    The Omniscience Of God.

     | 2,328 views

    The response to "The LORD has searched me" (cf. Psalm 139:1) is “Search me and know my thoughts” (Psalm 139:23).

    THE OMNISCIENCE OF GOD. Psalm 139:1-12, Psalm 139:23-24. When we read Psalm 139, sometimes it is hard to tell whether we should read it with a sense of dread: The LORD knows me (PSALM 139:1); He knows everything I am doing (PSALM 139:2); He knows where I am going (PSALM 139:3); He knows my every ...read more

    The restoration of Job.

    A NEW VISION OF GOD, AND THE RESTORATION OF JOB. Job 42:1-6; Job 42:10-17. The prose narrative bookends of the epic poem which is the Book of Job provide us at either end with the same judgment of Job’s character. Twice in the first two chapters the LORD taunts Satan with the integrity of Job ...read more

    He loosed my bonds.

    HE HEARD MY VOICE. Psalm 116:1-2, Psalm 116:12-19. If I was asked why I love the LORD, I might well answer: because He heard and answered my prayer (Psalm 116:1). Yet this may, at first glance, appear self-serving: what would I have to say for myself if my prayers had not been answered in the ...read more

    From Lament To Praise.

    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,222 views

    God is, and ever has been, my protector. Why would He let us down now?

    FROM LAMENT TO PRAISE. Psalm 43:1-5. Bold prayer dares to address God in the imperative. It seems that the Psalmist, speaking on behalf of many a pilgrim since, has lost his sense of the immanence of God. Yet we cannot rely upon senses, so he falls back on what he knows about God. ...read more

    Create In Me A Clean Heart.

     | 2,920 views

    A faithful confession of sin.

    CREATE IN ME A CLEAN HEART. Psalm 51:1-10. In this solemn Psalm of repentance, we dive in (headfirst, as it were) with a plea for mercy. The verbs “have mercy… blot out… wash me… cleanse me” (Psalm 51:1-2) all appear to be in the imperative: but they are in fact plaintive pleas based in the fact ...read more

    A Commission Of Compassion

    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,170 views

    A wake-up call to the Church.

    A COMMISSION OF COMPASSION. Matthew 9:35-38, Matthew 10:1-8. The first thing we notice as we look at this introduction to what has been styled ‘The Little Commission’ (as distinct from the better known ‘Great Commission’ of Matthew 28:18-20) is that all true Christian mission is based in the ...read more

    A heart of Praise towards God.

    GOD IS GOOD. Psalm 145:8-14. “The LORD is gracious, compassionate, slow to anger, and merciful” (Psalm 145:8). This is similar to the self-revelation of the LORD to Moses (cf. Exodus 34:6). It is an integral part of Israel’s understanding of their God (cf. Numbers 14:18; Nehemiah 9:17; Jonah ...read more

    I was like a lamb, led to the slaughter.

    THE COMPLAINT OF JEREMIAH. Jeremiah 11:18-20. The last of the ‘good’ kings of Judah was Josiah, whose name means ‘he will be sustained of the LORD’ (2 Chronicles 34:2). Long story short, having purged the land of idols, Josiah sent men to repair the Temple (2 Chronicles 34:8), and they found ...read more

    'For the hardness of your heart he wrote this precept' (Mark 10:5).

    A NAUGHTY QUESTION. Mark 10:2-12. The Pharisees’ question about divorce was worse than mischievous in that it, like many of their questions addressed to Jesus, was asked with the intention of “tempting” Jesus into saying something that would cause offence (MARK 10:2). I assert this on two ...read more

    Witnessing to Christ's great salvation.

    SOLIDARITY IN PRAISE. Isaiah 12:1-6. The motto of the City of Glasgow in Scotland is, ‘Let Glasgow flourish.’ Though rarely known in full, it continues, ‘by the preaching of the Word and the praising of His Name.’ So not only does the Word of the Lord pass from mouth to mouth, but also His ...read more

    What do we need to purchase the water of salvation? Nothing at all! It is a free gift of the true and living God.

    A CALL TO FAITH. Isaiah 55:1-5. ISAIAH 55:1. The Bible is full of wonderful gracious invitations. Isaiah 55 begins with a call to the thirsty to come to the waters. This is in order to quench, not a physical thirst, but a spiritual thirst. Jesus said, ‘Blessed are those who hunger and ...read more

    Exhortations, and a very important promise.

    A CONTEXT FOR THE CALL TO REJOICE. Philippians 4:1-9. ‘Our conversation is in heaven,’ said the Apostle in the previous chapter, ‘from whence also we are awaiting (as) Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ’ (cf. Philippians 3:20-21). “So, my brethren… stand fast in the Lord” (Philippians 4:1). Paul ...read more

    The Church should never want be "like all the nations."

    THE ALLURE OF WORLDLY CONFORMITY. 1 Samuel 8:4-20, 1 Samuel 11:14-15. Samuel appointed his two sons to be judges in Beersheba in the south of Israel, but ‘his sons walked not in his ways’ and ‘took bribes and perverted judgement (1 Samuel 8:1-3). On account of this, the elders of Israel ...read more

    The bush that burned, but was not consumed.

    THE CALL OF MOSES. Part One. Exodus 3:1-6. EXODUS 3:1. Moses was tending the flock of his father-in-law, Jethro, and led them to new pastures on the far side of the desert, towards Mount Horeb (a.k.a. Mount Sinai). This place is also known in this verse as “the mountain of God,” and elsewhere as ...read more
