2 Timothy 4:1–8 (EHV) I solemnly charge you in the presence of God and Christ Jesus, who is going to judge the living and the dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom: Preach the word.

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.

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?

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…

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.
