Preaching and Teaching from St. John Ev. Lutheran Church (Sherman Center), Random Lake, Wisconsin

Text: Luke 1:26-38

Text: John 20:24-29

You have one priority today. You are to follow John’s finger as he points to Jesus. Your ears, eyes, heart, and mind are focused on Jesus for you. Set aside all the distractions. Forget about COVID-19. Don’t worry about what’s for dinner. Lay off all the political chatter. Stop making your plans for the holiday. Stop, listen, and focus. If you fail to listen to His voice, you will not hear His saving Word. If you do not hear, you cannot see your Redeemer. Instead, hold on to Jesus and don’t let go. Receive His Word and gifts and you’ll know Him.

Text: Matthew 1:18-25

13. December 2020 - Advent 3 - Matthew 11:2-10   The flesh, the world, and demonic authoritarians hate everything given by God the Father. They hate creation and violently want to reshape it. They hate human life and seek to destroy, alter, and transcend it through violent manipulation. Their violence leads to immorality, destruction, and death. But most of all they hate the gift of the Son of the Father, Jesus, and the kingdom of heaven, the Church. Why does the mob hate you and despise the Church? Because the violent must oppress anything that undermines their worldview.

What is the future? What is your future? Everything is moving forward toward that great day when we shall meet the Lord face to face. Time is given that the Gospel be preached to all people. The future is for repentance. The great net of Christ’s kingdom must be drawn through the sea of time. A great catch will be brought upon the shore. And all the righteous and evil finally separated from one another forever.

He comes to you! He comes with the help you need—His blood-bought forgiveness. Now is the great and mighty Day. Today is the Lord’s day! He comes to forgive you once again, making each day new, though we do not deserve it and by our own reason and strength cannot even believe it.

Text: Judges 14:1-20

Text: Judges 13:1-25

Everything needed for your salvation is gift. Even the oil of faith is given to you as a free gift. Thus, the difference between the wise and foolish is not in outward appearances. Both look like Christian from head to toe. The difference between the wise and foolish is not living a Christian life. The difference between the wise and foolish is trust in the Bridegroom.

In every sphere of life, fear, love, and trust in God above all things. Keep the state where it belongs and let the church be the church, a place where Gospel forgiveness is preached freely and the gifts that deliver this forgiveness are unrestricted.
