An Epiphany message on Matthew 3:13-17 preached at King of Kings Lutheran Church in Maitland, FL on January 12, 2020.

This Christmas season we have examined God’s breathtaking love with wonder and amazement. We have seen how God’s love for the world—and for us—moved him to send his one and only Son to be the greatest Christmas gift we have ever received. We have seen how God’s love lasts long after Christmas and how nothing will separate us from God’s love. In Matthew 2, we see how God reveals that love for the nations. That love is not just for us, but every nation, tribe, culture, and background. Lord, help us to reveal that light in our lives to the people of our communities and world!

Remember your Savior Jesus loves you! May he bless you with his grace!

As the final hours of another year and another decade slip away, we look back on a time filled with challenge and success, sorrow and joy. Through it all, however, our gracious God and his love in Christ has been with us every step of the way. In times of trouble and sorrow and suffering, in times of joy and celebration and peace, our Savior has been with us and has held us in his almighty, loving hands. The promise that nothing will separate us from the love of Christ continues as the old year and decade comes to a close and a new begins.

Remember your Savior Jesus loves you! May he bless you with his grace!

So quickly the trappings of Christmas disappear. So quickly the season’s trends become after-Christmas clearance. So quickly the momentary peace that we enjoyed on Christmas disappears with the post-Christmas rush towards the New Year and a return back to the busyness of daily life. 

For Jesus, the months after Christmas were dangerous. He and his family had to flee for their lives when he was no more than a toddler, because a wicked king wanted him dead. Yet our Savior was saved to save us. Why? God’s love that will not be put away.

At Christmas, God's people rejoice that the Word became flesh, that Jesus Christ was born truly God and truly human. So come to the manger and see the eternal Son of God born in time as the son of Mary so that in flesh he might free you from the bondage of sin! Come and see why this Child was born to save you! Come and see the great gift of God’s love for you!

Remember your Savior Jesus loves you! May he bless you with his grace!

On Christmas night, Jesus is born because God so loves you—yes, sinful, broken, hurting, hopeless, feeling like I’ve lost my faith you. Christmas is proof that God loves the world, that God loves even you. Peer into the manger and hear what these words of our Savior mean, “God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son that whoever believes in him shall not perish, but have eternal life.” Peer into the manger and see God’s unconditional love for the world, God’s unconditional love for you.

Remember your Savior Jesus loves you! May he bless you with his grace!

We’re almost there! The celebration of our Savior’s first coming is coming soon! The Light sent to shatter the darkness of guilt and unbelief and death is almost here. Yet there is still so much darkness in our world, so much darkness in our lives, so much darkness in our hearts. Such darkness makes it easy to get pessimistic and doubt God's ability to keep his promises. Yet into our darkness, God sends Jesus—our Savior, our Immanuel, our God with us. Rejoice for the Light is coming soon...really!

This sermon is Part 4 of our Advent worship series: Lord, Lead Us to Your Light.

An Advent sermon on Matthew 11:2-11 preached at King of Kings Lutheran Church in Maitland, FL on December 15, 2019

When you are in the dark and are unsure about where to go, you look for even the smallest glimmer of light to guide you through the darkness. As Christians, we live in a world filled with the deep darkness of sin and death. In fact, our sinful natures leave us in darkness. So we need to look to the Light, which shows us what is in our path and where our path is headed to safety and life. God’s prophet Isaiah directs us to the light of the coming Christ. We look to that Light with repentant hearts. We look to that Light with eager hope.

This sermon is Part 2 of our Advent worship series: Lord, Lead Us to Your Light.

Remember your Savior Jesus loves you! May he bless you with his grace!

Waking up is not always easy to do especially when the days get short and the nights long. Yet we wake up to work and serve and live during the light of day. As Christians, we live in a world filled with the deep darkness of sin and death. Yet the Light is dawning on our world. Christ is coming soon, so it’s time to wake up! It’s time to prepare for his coming, to remove the rags of darkness and put on the armor of light!

This sermon is Part I of our Advent worship series: Lord, Lead Us to Your Light.
