Rogate John 16:23–30 sermon "Ask, and You Will Receive"

On Rogate Sunday, Christ commands His Church to pray boldly in His Name because the Father Himself loves those who believe in the Son. In this modernized and abridged sermon inspired by Martin Luther’s Rogate preaching, we examine the Lord’s Prayer petition by petition while confronting the false gods and antichrists of the modern age. This sermon addresses the collapse of truth in church and society, prosperity religion, political idolatry, technological utopianism, moral confusion, and the spiritual warfare surrounding Christian families and children. At the same time, it proclaims the comfort of Christ for weary consciences burdened by sin, suffering, financial hardship, temptation, and fear. What does it mean to pray “Hallowed Be Thy Name” in an age that mocks God’s Word? What does “Thy Kingdom Come” mean when the world seeks salvation through politics and power? Why does Christ teach us to pray daily for bread, forgiveness, protection from temptation, and deliverance from evil? This sermon calls Christians away from despair and back to repentance, faith, Word, Sacrament, and prayer — not as empty ritual, but as holy warfare against the devil, the world, and the flesh. “Ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.” — John 16:24

Jubilate-John 16:16-23 Abridged and Updated Luther Postil

In this updated and abridged presentation of Martin Luther’s powerful Jubilate sermon on John 16:16–23, hear Christ’s promise to His suffering Church: though believers must endure the “little while” of sorrow, persecution, and the apparent triumph of the world, resurrection joy is certain and untouchable. Drawing listeners through the cross to the empty tomb, this message proclaims how Christ transforms weeping into everlasting rejoicing, anchors Christians in the midst of affliction, and exposes the fleeting false joy of the unbelieving world. A sharpened and accessible retelling of Luther’s pastoral preaching, this episode offers enduring comfort for weary saints, courage under trial, and unwavering confidence in the victory of the risen Christ.

Misericordias Domini (Easter 3) John 10:11-16

An abridged and modernized sermon from Martin Luther on Misericordias Domini (John 10:11–16), this episode cuts through confusion with a sharp Law-and-Gospel contrast. Christ is not merely a helper—He is the Good Shepherd who lays down His life for the sheep, and there is no other. Drawing from Luther’s classic themes, this sermon exposes the false shepherds—those who burden consciences with law, works, or human authority—while calling hearers back to the only voice that saves: the Word of Christ. God With Us LC Expect a direct, pastoral, and unapologetic proclamation: Why the Law cannot create true righteousness How wolves still devour through false teaching What it means to hear and follow Christ’s voice alone And how the Shepherd’s death is not defeat—but the rescue of His flock For those weary of confusion, compromise, or dead religion, this is a call to return to the Shepherd who knows His sheep—and who still gathers them by His voice. https://www.lastchristian.com/luther/vol-13b/44-on-the-second-sunday-after-easter-misericordias-domini/

Laetare Sunday – Christ Feeds the Five Thousand (Luther’s House Postil, Abridged & Modernized)

In this abridged and modernized reading from Luther's House Postil, we hear Martin Luther preach on the Gospel for Laetare Sunday, drawn from Gospel of John 6:1–15. Luther proclaims Christ as the true provider who feeds His people in body and soul. The miracle of the feeding of the five thousand reveals both the compassion of Christ and the weakness of human reason. When the disciples see only scarcity, Christ shows the abundance of God’s mercy. In this sermon, Luther teaches that: Christ cares for our earthly needs. Faith trusts God even when our reason sees no solution. The miracle points beyond bread for the body to Christ Himself, the true Bread of Life. This episode presents Luther’s teaching in clear modern English while preserving the bold, pastoral spirit of the Reformation sermon. Perfect for meditation during **Lent, especially the joyful pause of Laetare—the Sunday that reminds weary Christians to rejoice, for Christ still feeds His flock. From the historic preaching of the Lutheran Reformation to strengthen faith in Christ alone.

Reminiscere: “Remember, O Lord” – Faith That Clings When God Seems Silent

On the Second Sunday in Lent—Reminiscere (“Remember”)—the Church cries out from Psalm 25: “Remember, O Lord, Your mercy.” In this episode, we proclaim a sermon drawn from the House Postil of Martin Luther, focusing on the Gospel of the Canaanite woman (Matthew 15:21–28). Here we see a faith that refuses to die—even when Christ seems distant, silent, or severe. Why does Christ appear to ignore her? Why does He speak so sharply? Why does He call her a dog—only to praise her faith? Luther shows us that God sometimes hides Himself in order to draw out a bold, desperate, unyielding faith. This is the faith that argues with God using His own promises. The faith that clings to crumbs. The faith that refuses to let go until blessing comes. If you have ever felt abandoned… unheard… tested beyond your strength… this sermon is for you. Christ delays. Christ tests. Christ wounds. But Christ does not lie. And in the end, He remembers mercy. https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/donation-form/bring-hope-food-and-education-to-children-and-families-in-uganda-through-kutesa-henrys-ministry

Christ’s Passion: Luther on Sin, Suffering, and Saving Faith

In this episode, we present a powerful reading of A Meditation on Christ’s Passion by Martin Luther. Luther refuses to let us treat Christ’s suffering as distant history. He brings us to the foot of the cross and teaches us how to look at it rightly — first seeing our sin as the cause of His agony, and then seeing His mercy as greater than our guilt. This is not sentimental devotion. It is repentance. It is faith. It is comfort for terrified consciences. If you struggle with guilt… If suffering confuses you… If Good Friday has become too familiar… This meditation will steady your heart in Christ crucified. We are beggars serving beggars — proclaiming the mercy of Jesus and caring for those in need.
