The Holy Spirit Teaches You!

Sermon Summary

Since God now reveals himself by his Spirit, where is the Holy Spirit found? How does he come to us? God has not left the answer to those questions in doubt. When Jesus promised to send the Spirit, he indicated that the Spirit's work would be connected to words, specifically to God's Word. As a result, we need never wonder where we can find the Spirit or how he comes to us. Where the Word is proclaimed, there you will find the Holy Spirit's presence and blessing.

What Has God Called Us to Do? 

Sermon Summary

If you look at Christians from a human perspective, you will see that we have some characteristics in common, and many differences. But if you look at what we're doing - gathering to hear the Word of God and receive Communion - and if you listen to our confession of faith - "We believe in one God" - you will discover that we are united. Jesus prayed that we would have unity, and unity is what Jesus works among us today.

God Makes People Clean

Sermon Summary

Jesus saved us from eternal death in hell, and won for us an eternity in paradise. What shall we do to thank him? He asks us, in every interaction we have with others, to demonstrate the same selfless love that he has shown to us. And Jesus doesn’t just ask us to show love. Jesus empowers us to show love.

Who Are You, Lord?

Sermon Summary

Spiritual blindness can take many different forms. In some cases, it is hostile opposition to the message of Jesus. In others, spiritual blindness might be demonstrated in confusion about Jesus’s true identity. In still others, spiritual blindness might be the inability to understand our spiritual condition. No matter the form spiritual blindness takes, Easter has the power to replace it with sight.
