Fishers of Men Lutheran Church Sermons

Pastor Wayne Braun delivered his message Sunday, February 23, 2020, from the sermon series, "At the Crossroads" on "It’s Not About You and Me".

Two of the hardest lessons to learn and they are related.  Everything we have belongs to God not us and life is not all about you or me.  We are servants and stewards – weak and fragile – entrusted with the treasure of the Gospel to steward at the crossroads.

Pastor Wayne Braun delivered his message Sunday, February 16, 2020, from the sermon series, "At the Crossroads" on "God's Temple at the Crossroads".

Why did God place His people at the crossroads of empires?  Why did God plant a church in Corinth at the crossroads between the western empire and the eastern empire?  Why did God plant Fishers of Men, bringing you and me to Sugar Land, a crossroads of the world?  The reason is simple – to be God’s temple, God’s house, His embassy, the place where God lives and meets people as they journey through life.

Pastor Wayne Braun delivered his message Sunday, February 2, 2020, from the sermon series, "At the Crossroads" on "One Simple Message".

Crossroads can feel like complicated places, whether this be physical crossroads or crossroads of life or ministry.  Paul, however, found out in Athens that complicated messages are not always the solution.  So, when he came to Corinth, he was determined to know, trust, preach, and teach one simple message--the message of Christ crucified--a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Greeks, but Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.

Pastor Wayne Braun delivered his message Sunday, February 9, 2020, from the sermon series, "At the Crossroads" on "Are You Growing at the Crossroads?".

Crossroads, though difficult and even painful to navigate, are places where God goes to work--does His cultivation of hearts so that our faith can grow and mature.

Pastor Wayne Braun delivered his message Sunday, January 26, 2020, from the sermon series, "At the Crossroads" on "Stick Together".

Crossroads and intersections are dangerous places where people and vehicles collide.  Churches, families, and individuals at the crossroads also run collide with each other, even while trying to do God’s work.  The key is to “stick together” around Christ and move forward with Him.

Pastor Allen Bauer delivered his message Sunday, January 19, 2020, on "Rose Colored Glasses".

The Corinthian church was in turmoil.

Our special guest, Pastor Tom VanDuzer, delivered his message on "Jesus, the Refugee", Sunday, December 29, 2019.

Pastor Wayne Braun delivered his message Sunday, January 12, 2020, on "A New Beginning".

Too often our sinful words and actions, as well as those of others, shape our identity and our lives in a negative manner. Beginning at the Baptism of Jesus and continuing through His life, death, and resurrection, God gives us a lifetime of new beginnings that daily redefine who we are as God’s children, and thus how we live.

Pastor Allen Bauer

The Fourth Sunday in Advent turns our attention toward the Nativity of Our Lord. With the blessed Virgin Mary, we await the coming of the Christ, her Son, conceived in her womb by the Word and Spirit of God. This fulfillment of the sign once given to the house of David, that “the virgin shall conceive and bear a son” (Is. 7:14), is now given to us in the Gospel. It declares that salvation is by His grace alone, entirely His work and a free gift. It also is the way and means by which the Lord our God is Immanuel, “God with us.” The almighty and eternal Son of God is conceived and born of Mary, and is thus “descended from David according to the flesh” (Rom. 1:3–4). He comes in this way to save us with His own flesh and blood; wherefore, He is called “Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins” (Matt. 1:21). As Joseph received this sign in faith and immediately “did as the angel of the Lord commanded him” (Matt. 1:24), we also live by faith in this Holy Gospel.
