2-26-23 Invocabit

February 26, 2023
Today we behold our Hero. Satan is too much for us. On earth is not his equal, and with might of ours can naught be done. We would have been forever swept along by temptation and sin, unable to resist, swept right into hell, had not the Son of God appeared in the flesh to destroy the works of the devil. Now victory is ours! Christ has entered the lists and fought and won. The…

2-19-23 Quinquagesima

February 19, 2023
Why was blind Bartimaeus begging outside Jericho? He shouldn’t have been, he shouldn’t have needed to. The Lord says in Deuteronomy 15: “there shall not be a beggar among you,” and God laid down laws to make sure of this in ancient Israel. In Leviticus God gave the law that if you are gathering your grain from your field, you may not cut all the way down to the ground and you may not pick…

2-12-23 Sexagesima

February 12, 2023
The Word Jesus preaches is like Him. Its power is hidden in weakness. When I say it’s hidden I don’t mean that it’s hidden to you. It’s not; it shouldn’t be. It’s hidden to the unbelievers, not to Christians. You can say that Christ’s power is hidden in the cross, in suffering, but what do you see when you look at the cross of Jesus – you see power, don’t you? I do. It is…

2-5-23 Septuagesima

February 5, 2023
The vineyard is the Christian Church. God often talks about His people being His vineyard or the branches of his vine. Isaiah says, “My well beloved has a vineyard on a very fruitful hill.” Jesus says, “I am the vine, you are the branches.” It’s a happy image, fruit and wine and life. The heathen poets knew this too – they romanticized farming, especially the dressing of vines, as the most wonderful work, the kind…

1-29-23 Transfiguration

January 29, 2023
Jesus had begun to show His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again on the third day. He had said this in response to Peter’s confession that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God. The disciples had come to know who Jesus was – not just a man, but God in human flesh…

1-22-23 Epiphany 3

January 22, 2023
Jesus presents us with two men of faith today. The one he praises and marvels at and the other he sends to the temple. He’s not condemning the one and praising the other. But it’s very obvious that He stresses the beauty of the one’s faith, “Amen, with no one in Israel have I seen such faith!” That includes the leper who was just healed. That man had faith in Jesus. He came to Him,…

1-15-23 Epiphany 2

January 15, 2023
Jesus performs his first great miracle at a wedding. He does it on purpose, obviously, to tell us that He is our Creator and that He’s come to claim us as His Bride. Our translation says it’s the first of his signs, which is true enough, but the Greek says it’s the beginning of his signs. And this word didn’t fall from the Holy Spirit unawares. It’s the first word in the Bible – bereshith,…

1-8-23 The Baptism of Our Lord

January 8, 2023
As with everything Jesus does, His Baptism is not for Him but for us. Obviously Jesus doesn’t need Baptism. That’s why John says, I need to be baptized by you and do you come to me? Baptism is for the forgiveness of sins – John preached that, Jesus preached that, the apostles preached that: repent and be baptized for the forgiveness of your sins, this is basic to what baptism is: I acknowledge one baptism…

1-1-23 Circumcision and Name of Jesus

January 1, 2023
Names are supposed to mean something and in the Bible they actually do. Today people pick names for their children because they like how they sound or because it’s a family name or because it’s a Norwegian name and they’re Norwegian or a German name and they’re German. But in the Bible names mean something. Look at Abraham – it means father of many nations, so that every time that name Abraham was spoken the…

12-25-22 Christmas Day

December 25, 2022
Glory to God in the highest, who made Himself lowest and for us men and for our salvation took the form of a slave! The Lord has fulfilled His ancient promise. The Seed of the woman has come. The Virgin conceived and bore a Son, and He is Immanuel, God with us. And not just God with us, but God as one of us. This is a great mystery, one into which angels long to…
