Jesus' public ministry begins with a memorable sign, changing water to wine at a wedding in Cana. Jesus' reluctance to participate in this way reveals the wider glory and grace of God, who is never reluctant to intervene on our behalf.由Rev. Zachary D. Wagner

[Machine transcription] This, the first of his signs, Jesus did at Cana in Galilee and manifested his glory, and his disciples believed in him. Please be seated. In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Dear brothers and sisters, this morning we hear a story about a wedding celebration that almost wasn’t, well at lea…

Second Sunday after Epiphany由Rev. Ross Davis

The Baptism of Our Lord由Rev. Bryan Wolfmueller

[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear saints, this morning we consider the wisdom and courage of baptism, the baptism that the Lord Jesus has given to all of His people. And if, by the way, you’re visiting and you haven’t been baptized, make sure to check in with me before you leave, and we can work on that. Martin Luther says ab…

As we celebrate the Lord's Baptism, may we remember how our own Baptisms unite us as a faith community, where we support one another by being cautious with expectations, and instead relying on Christ's faith to guide and sustain us.由Vicar Nicholas Breining

The Epiphany of Our Lord由Rev. Bryan Wolfmueller

[Machine transcription] the name of Jesus. Amen. Dear Saints, have you ever had a neighbor who managed to park like seven or eight cars in a three-car garage and a two-car driveway? Have you seen that? Where they just are all crammed in there, it’s like a big Jenga thing and you can’t figure it out. That is how Matthew is writing in verse 10 of the…

[Machine transcription] In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Every single year of his earthly life, our Lord Jesus came to Jerusalem to celebrate the seven days of the Passover according to the law of Moses. The faithful among Israel would remember God’s deliverance from Egypt. They would slaughter the lamb and shed it…

Second Sunday of Christmas由Vicar David Krueger

We have so many people in our lives who share their wisdom with us, which is especially pertinent as we greet the Wise Men once more this Epiphany. A reminder of the expansive/inclusive good news that a Savior is born!由Rev. Zachary D. Wagner

[Machine transcription] In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Dear baptized believers in Christ’s church, the Holy Spirit has called you by the gospel, enlightened you with his gifts, sanctified and kept you in the true faith. God’s word connected with water worked in you through holy baptism. Because of God’s pro…

First Sunday of Christmas由Rev. Robert E. LeBlanc

Christmas Day由Rev. Bryan Wolfmueller

[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear saints, Merry Christmas, and may the Lord bless us as we meditate on this second great mystery of our Christian faith, the incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ in our flesh. I’d like to take this text, John chapter 1, and this mystery up in four short parts, well, maybe four medium-sized part…

From the birth of creation, to the birth of Jesus in flesh, and after His resurrection, God's life has been, and always will be, a merciful truth and grace of a redeeming divine love, and is the light of all people.由Vicar Nicholas Breining

[Machine transcription] And there was a multitude of angels and the heavenly hosts praising God and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased. You may be seated. In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear saints, Merry Christmas, and may God’s peace be with you as we are gathered here on the eve of the 2026th…

Christmas Eve由Rev. Bryan Wolfmueller

Christmas Eve is a day steeped in tradition and nostalgia where the radical Good News on the incarnation can be easily lost. Today we're reminded that old news is still good news for all creation as Christ is born!由Rev. Zachary D. Wagner

Mary showed us a faithful and joyful way to to say "yes" when she was asked to be the mother of Jesus, and may we have an equally loving and praise worthy response when the Holy Spirit arrives in our lives.由Vicar Nicholas Breining

Fourth Sunday in Advent由Rev. Bryan Wolfmueller

While John's sermon may be a bit jarring (replete with fire, brimstone, & name-calling), it is indeed Good News. The Savior is bringing a new way of living that uplifts the marginalized and offers peace to all (vipers and non-vipers alike).由Rev. Zachary D. Wagner

Advent Midweek 2由Vicar David Krueger

The post Sermon for Advent Midweek 2 appeared first on St Paul Lutheran Church.由Script User

John the Forerunner calls from the wilderness for all to repent as we prepare ourselves for the entry of Christ once more. Christ's arrival doesn't depend on our actions, but our ability to repent opens us to the goodness he offers.由Rev. Zachary D. Wagner

Second Sunday in Advent由Rev. Bryan Wolfmueller

As we find ourselves in a new church year, we are eagerly seeking renewed hope in the face of all of our struggles. Hope is a gift that Christ offers throughout time (past/present/future).由Rev. Zachary D. Wagner

First Sunday in Advent由Rev. Robert E. LeBlanc

Thanksgiving Eve由Rev. Ross Davis

We humbly admit our limits and ask God for support, like Pontius Pilate who asked Jesus "What is the truth?" The Holy Spirit will not only reveal the truth but be a transformative presence in our lives.由Vicar Nicholas Breining
