12 Now when Jesus heard that John had been put in prison, He departed to Galilee. 13 And leaving Nazareth, He came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the regions of Zebulun and Naphtali, 14 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying: 15 “ The land of Zebulun…

Last week we began a series on the Book of Matthew. My message pointed to Jesus as the Messiah. It is important that we understand Jesus as being the Messiah. Today we will be reading Matthew chapter 3. This is what starts the beginning of Jesus’ ministry. About 20 years have past since we last heard…

Matthew 1-2 Before we look at ch. 3, let’s take a quick review of St. Matthew’s Gospel thus far. St. Matthew begins his Gospel by giving the genealogy of Jesus, which, as we’ve talked about in our course, The Story of the Bible, is a not-so-subtle way of summarizing the story of Israel, emphasizing a…

Aikamme on eksynyt kauas mailman luomisesta ja Jeesuksen tekemistä ihmeteoista. Uskomme kohdet tulee olla Jeesus ja Hänen tekemänsä sovitustyö meidän elämässä. Emme voi nojata meidän subjektiivisiin kokemuksiin jotka elää omaa elämäänsä ja kokemuksemme meidän uskontilasta voi olla todella värittynyttä…

18 And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded…

Today, we’re taking a pause between two different sermon series. We completed a series last week and next week we will be beginning a new series, so it’s time to take a pause. Do you take time to rest? When you go on vacation do you plan extended times to rest or do you plan every moment so that when…

I like to preach in series. I feel like we can stay on a particular topic for several weeks. Last week we just finished a series on Prayer. Next week we will begin a series on Following Jesus. But, I also like to have a single sermon placed in amongst series so that I can give you a lesson that is not…

Have you ever wanted to write a book? Me neither. Writing books is really hard. Reading books takes a while, I imagine writing one takes a little longer. Now, what’s funny is we’re a church of about 100 people, and we have several authors in our midst! Gene Poppino has helped write a book. Hannah Russell…

Advent is a time of preparation. We prepare for the coming of Jesus. And we can think about that as a very distant thing. We read our Scriptures of the Old and New Testament, reading from Isaiah, the Apostle Paul, and one of the Gospels, typically Matthew or Luke since they cover the birth narratives,…

In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea, And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. For this is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.…

Kingdom Come 44 And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that shall never be destroyed, nor shall the kingdom be left to another people. It shall break in pieces all these kingdoms and bring them to an end, and it shall stand forever, 7 And proclaim as you go, saying, ‘The…

As Jesus comes to John for baptism, we see he is the true fulfilment of Israel, being everything it should have been, and he receives from God the accolade due true Israel: "this is My Son, whom I love; with Him I am well pleased." We can hope for this same declaration over us as God's people through our incorporation into Christ in baptism.

Prepare Christ’s path! Goal: That hearers understand confession of sins and trusting in baptismal grace as the daily rhythm of the Christian life. Grace, mercy and peace to you... For this is he who was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah, saying: “The voice of one crying in the wilderness: ‘Prepare the…

John the Baptist 1 In those days John the Baptist came preaching in the wilderness of Judea, 2 “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” 3 For this is he who was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah when he said, “The voice of one crying in the wilderness: ‘Prepare the way of the Lord; make his paths…

2 “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.” I find this to be no coincidence that the message spoken by John the Baptist as he ushered in the ministry of Jesus is the same as what Christ would speak at the start of His ministry. 17 From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, “Repent, for the…

17 But you, beloved, ought to remember the words that were spoken beforehand by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ, 18 that they were saying to you, “In the last time there will be mockers, following after their own ungodly lusts.” 19 These are the ones who cause divisions, worldly-minded, devoid…
