Justification by Faith

4944530429_d7f7d35103_z

_

This same sermon could be preached in any Catholic church or Baptist church. Or any Reformed church, or Pentecostal church. It could even be preached in other Lutheran churches.

_

All that it would take is for a preacher to read and understand the Galatian letter and Paul’s intent to bring the Galatian churches back onto the rails of faith in Christ, alone, for our justification before a righteous God who demands from us nothing short of perfection.

Jesus and the Centurion

The power and authority of the Word of God to do what it will do…for sinners. That same power and authority and action is at work in Will’s  Baptism…and in yours and mine.

_

Pentecost is a good time to learn about what the Holy Spirit’s role is in all of this. And what is our role when it comes to the Spirit? What is the main result of the Holy Spirit’s coming? Where does the Spirit fit in with regard to your vocation?

Here’s Pastor Mark’s sermon for Pentecost Sunday, 2013:

Are you ready for this one?

It’ll take all of about 2 minutes to hear it. But the hard part (for many) will be realizing that it is true.

The Gospel of John Bible Study (part 4)

548159829_73c2894917_z

_

Here’s part 4 of the Gospel of John Bible Study that Pastor Mark has been teaching the past month or so. This one deals with the first three signs. And there’s a very good question near the end of the class on why Jesus tells the man who He just healed in the Pool of Siloam, “Go and sin no more, lest something worse befall you.”
