When you think about the book of Revelation - the title of this sermon may be precisely what you think about: "Of course, that books ALL about the end of time!" For some - that prospect may seem a distant future. Others predict the Last Day to be coming any second! But what about all the predictions that have come and gone? Can we reliably trust in any End Times prediction? And if we can't...then what's the point of Revelation 20 and the "timeline" it gives? In this sermon - Pastor Kevin he...
In this sermon, Pastor Aaron introduces the topic of the Armageddon. This is likely a term most people have heard in popular culture. Generally, it's used to discuss the end of all things. But, does this word have a Biblical basis? It sure does -- Revelation 16. This sermon helps to ground our understanding of the Armageddon in the historic, Biblical hope we have in Jesus who brings about the end to evil itself.
This is the first sermon in a series called "The End" based on the Book of Revelation. In this sermon, Pastor Aaron helps to unpack how it is that we, as historic, orthodox, Lutheran Christians interpret the end times in contrast to some newer methods of interpreting Scripture and the end times. This sermon is also preached for the commemoration of All Saints Day in which we hear, as is proclaimed in the Book of Revelation, that in Christ even death itself comes to an end.
In this sermon, Pastor Kevin considers the Reformation of 1517 in light of Jeremiah 18 and the need for all Christians to be re-formed by the Gospel.
In this final sermon in the Money Matters sermon, Pastor Aaron preaches on the Apostle Paul's words in 2 Corinthians 9, as Paul compares money to seeds.
How do you determine where to spend your money? What influences your purchase decisions? Are you aware of your "money mindset"? In this sermon, Pastor Kevin considers Paul's instruction to the Corinthian Church - and the potential "money mindsets" that are at work within the congregation. In 2 Corinthians, chapter 9 - Paul encourages the them to have a Macedonian Mindset. What's that mindset? Listen to the sermon and consider how God's "mindset" towards giving impacts your "money mindset."
This is the first sermon in a series called "Money Matters" focused on the Apostle Paul's most comprehensive discussion on money in 2 Corinthians 8-9.
This final sermon of the "Who's Next" series asks the questions "who's next to reach?" That is, who's next to reach with the good news of Jesus Christ. If you're a Christian person and spent any time in a Christian church, you've very likely heard, "Now that you've received the good news of Jesus, go and share it with other people!" But why? And...more that...how? In this sermon, Pastor Aaron walks us through the words in Matthew 9:35-38 where Jesus sees the crows and has...
What makes you great? What defines how great you are? It's not uncommon in our world to answer these questions based on certain metrics like: - What's your position within your organization? - What's your annual salary? - How many friends do you have? - How many international places have you visited? But in Luke 22:24-27 - Jesus defines greatness in a very different way. "Let the greatest among you become as the youngest, and the leader as the one who serves." Jesus metric for greatness? Who...
In Jesus' departing words to His disciples (in Matthew 28) - He shares with them the vision for the expansion of the Kingdom of God. "Go and make disciples..." And the disciples carried forward this mission of Jesus into the world, to the next generation, until it reached even us! But...what is a disciple? What does it mean to "make" a disciple? Is God still using "discipleship" today? In this sermon, Pastor Kevin invites listeners to consider who God may be calling them to - to walk in th...
The book of Acts is the origin story of the church. If you call yourself a Christian - this is YOUR story. And the story continues. The "Acts" that the book references are really the "Acts of the Holy Spirit." This member of the Trinity empowered, guided, and directed the movement of Jesus during the 1st Century. He still empowers our mission today. In this sermon, Pastor Kevin shares about the Holy Spirit (who is called "breath" and "wind" in the Bible). What does that mean for us today? ...
Jesus is oppositional. There's no whitewashing about it. The message that He came to preach cut against the old religious system. It cut against the culture of His Jewish contemporaries. It cut against the rich + the poor. No one was safe. And neither are we. As C.S. Lewis put it so well in his Chronicles of Narnia series - referring to Azlan (the character representing Jesus): "Safe? Who said anything about safe? Of course He isn't safe! But...He's good." In this sermon - Pastor Kevin con...
As the book of Acts nears its end - things are getting worse and worse for Paul. He's a prisoner, awaiting a trial that has taken years to set up, constantly facing mobs and death threats against his life. And, to make matters worse, in Acts 27 he finds himself in the middle of a savage storm. But, in the midst of the storm, we don't see a Paul rattled by the challenges he's facing; instead we see a Paul dripping with calm and confidence - in the face of disaster. How does Paul manage to k...
Paul has been arrested in Jerusalem and now he's brought before governors and kings fulfilling what Jesus foretold in Matthew 10:17-20. In each situation, Paul is given the opportunity to speak and he takes the opportunity. He tells his story and as he's telling his story he always centralizes his life on the message of Jesus' death and resurrection. Each Christian has a story to tell because each Christian is a walking talking testimony to the work of Jesus in the world. ...
In Acts Chapter 21, Paul finds himself on trial. He's been assaulted by the Jews - who are demanding an explanation from him. The Roman Official who came to Paul's rescue - is equally interested in what Paul has to say for himself. And in Chapter 22, Paul makes his "defense." Paul is a unique character in Christianity. His life (likely) looks far different than yours or mine. Yet, as Christians, we share the same radical identity that Paul had. We belong to a culture that looks radically dif...
This sermon was recorded during the outdoor service at Saints Peter and Paul on July 27th, 2025. In Acts 19 & 20, Paul is finishing up his third missionary journey. These two short chapters describe three years of time that Paul spent in Ephesus. In chapter 20, Paul gathers together the Ephesian elders and gives a heartfelt speech reminding them of the purpose for which he came to them. He encourages them to continue steadfast in the faith!
As Paul continues to travel from city to city, he ends up in Corinth in Acts 18. In this sermon, Pastors Aaron and Kevin both bring the sermon. They focus on all of the different names of people over the last couple chapters of Acts 18. When reading through the book of Acts, it can be a little overwhelming to read so many names. But each of those names are the names of real people who were changed for eternity by the good news of Jesus Christ. The story of Acts is the story of a discipl...
In our world today - there's a skepticism about Christianity (although, it's shifting!). The idea that a Palestinian Jew from the 1st century died and rose again - and that having something to do with our salvation - sounds laughable. But this is no new challenge. Paul received a similar response when he shared his faith with the people of Athens (cf Acts 17:32). And yet, the case for Christianity was so compelling to that 1st century audience that the masses joined this minor movement. Wh...
In Acts 15, the first Church Council meeting was held. The topic: circumcision. The attendees: Peter, Paul, James, Barnabas, and the other apostles and elders. Does that information sound relevant to you? If you're a Christian (and even if you're not!) - - it might just be the most relevant + important council ever held for your faith + life. In this sermon, Pastor Kevin unpacks the importance of this Church Council meeting - by way of a much more relevant (in terms of timing) cultural arti...
Acts 13&14 is the story of Paul and Barnabas on their first missionary journey. The church in Antioch heard the Holy Spirit direct them to send these two on a journey to share the good news of Jesus with people in new lands. In this sermon, Pastor Aaron focuses on the message that they brought and the varied methods they had to reach different people groups.
