Lutheran Reflections

In this episode, we explore how to navigate our relationship with earthly authorities as we live as exiles in a world that is not our home. 1 Peter 2:13-17 is our primary text as we focus on topics like submission, civil disobedience, and the role of conscience.

In this episode, we look at the Gospel reading and the Psalm for Good Shepherd Sunday. Why does Scripture repeatedly use imagery of the Lord as our shepherd? What blessings are promised to us as the Lord's sheep? We turn to insights from Luther as we answer these questions and more.

Does faith entail believing without evidence? Is Christian faith purely intellectual? We answer these questions and more as we look at 1 Peter 1:3-9 and John 20:24-31, the readings for the second Sunday of Easter.

In this Maundy Thursday episode, we return to our regular format as we discuss Matthew 26:17-30 and the Lutheran theology of the Lord's Supper.

In this last episode of our Lenten sermon series, we focus on the significance of the new covenant we have in Christ. We return to our regular format next week.

In this week's sermon, we focus on Peter's famous confession that Jesus is "the Christ, the Son of the living God."

This week, we look at different perspectives on the Atonement and learn how each understanding can be used to teach us to imitate Christ.

The focus of this episode is Luke 5:16, where we learn that Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed. If Jesus is God, why did he feel the need to pray? Pastor King answers this question and more in this Lenten sermon.

In this second Lenten devotion, we focus on those notorious words from the devil in Genesis 3:1 - "Did God really say?"

In this first installment of our Lenten devotions, we join Pastor Bryan King for the Ash Wednesday readings and sermon at St. Luke Lutheran Church in Ottawa, Ontario.
