It pictured the Bible chapter from which our Gospel is taken. This is the 7th chapter of Matthew and the final chapter of Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount. The graphic depicted verse one: Judge…

A game warden observed that a certain fisherman always seemed to come back to shore with an unusually large number of fish. Week after week, this particular fisherman would come in with a big catch even when other fisherman complained that the fish were not biting. The warden…
Trinity 4 – 2024
Trinity 4 Bulletin No Videos this week. ↓ Our Savior Lutheran Church, Grants Pass, OR ↓ Faith Lutheran Church, Medford OR TRINITY-4/B Luke 6:36-42 BEING LIKE THE TEACHER Grace, mercy, and peace be to you from God our Father, & our Lord Jesus Christ. [FAIR] KARMA?! Jesus said, “With the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.” That sounds pretty fair, doesn’t it? We often say the same thing in different ways. “You reap what…

Trinity 3- 2024 ↓ Our Savior Lutheran Church, Grants Pass, OR Sermon Text Luke 15:1-10 CHURCH FOR ALL THE WRONG PEOPLE PRAYER LORD God, Heavenly Father, we all like sheep have gone astray, having allowed ourselves to be led away from the right path by Satan and our own sinful flesh.

Trinity 1 – 2024
Trinity 1-2024 Bulletin ↓ Our Savior Lutheran Church, Grants Pass, OR ↓ Faith Lutheran Church, Medford OR Sermon: Luke 16:19-31 STAND BEFORE GOD APPEARANCE Appearance is apt to fool us. Who appears to be the blessed man in today’s Holy Gospel? Is it Lazarus, the beggar full of sores who lies as an outcast attended to only by the dogs who came to lick his open sores? We hardly see Lazarus as the model of the good life. He might…
19th Sunday after Trinity-2022
Sermon Text: Colossians 3:12-21 WE LIVE THE FAITH IN THE FAMILY – – – Preaching the Catechism – The Table of Duties II We don’t live the Christian faith in a vacuum, but rather in all the different vocations into which God places us, especially in families and in our churches. Luther picks up on this in the Table of Duties, and our text from Colossians captures the way we live out the gospel with one another.

Sermon Text: 2 Peter 1:1-9 LIVE THE FAITH TO KEEP THE FAITH – – – Preaching the Catechism – The Table of Duties In his epistles, the apostle Peter is speaking to the church under stress, facing persecution and false teachers. To endure in the faith requires a life built around the faith-sustaining word.

Sermon Text- Matthew 22:34-46 WHAT MAKES YOU THINK YOU’RE A GOOD PERSON? – – – Preaching the Catechism – Law and Gospel Revisited If you say you are a good person, what is that based on? The Pharisees asked Jesus what the “greatest commandment” is, with the implication that we could thereby say we are a good person. So, do you love God with all your heart, soul, and mind? Really? Then how can you say you are a good…
16th Sunday after Trinity-2022
Sermon Text-James 5:13-20 PRAY FOR THOSE IN DISTRESS – – – Preaching the Catechism – Intercessory Prayer In the midst of tragedies we often hear “our thoughts and prayers go out to the suffering.” Then there are those who are virtue-signal, saying “thoughts and prayers aren’t enough.” As Christians, we don’t go along with the cliches. While our thoughts may be on the suffering, our prayers are to the true and living God, who hears and answers prayers in Christ’s…
14th Sunday After Trinity-2022
Sermon Text- 1 Corinthians 23-32 LOOK UP TO THE HIGHER THINGS – – – Preaching the Catechism – The Worthy Reception of the Lord’s Supper Some in the Corinthian congregation treated the Lord’s Supper as their supper. They failed to recognize the presence of the body and blood of Christ together with the bread and wine in the Lord’s Supper. To receive the Lord’s Supper is to receive something higher than ourselves and worthy of our reverence.
