    The Empty Tomb Is for Faithless Disciples Too | Mark 16:1-8 (Easter Sunday)

    This Easter sermon digs into Mark 16:1-8 and the surprising emphasis Mark places on the body of Jesus. The empty tomb is historical proof that the payment for sin was accepted in full. And the angel's message wasn't reserved for the faithful. The "young man" specifically names Peter, the disciple who cursed and swore he didn't know Jesus just days earlier. The gospel, it turns out, is for everyone! And it's especially for those who feel least worthy of receiving it. But the sermon doesn't stop at forgiveness. If the grave couldn't hold Jesus, it won't hold us either. And the risen Christ isn't a phantom who can only be accessed through strong enough belief. He promises His real, bodily presence—in Word, in Baptism, at His table—and He invites faithless disciples like us to come and receive it. ------------------------ At St. Peter’s Lutheran Church in Gibbon, Minnesota, God has gathered a congregation where all ages are present, from newborns to grandparents.

    How the Suffering Servant Saves the World | Isaiah 53 — Good Friday Sermon

    Throughout Lent, we've been asking the Suffering Servant of Isaiah why he suffers and what God's promised salvation actually costs. On Good Friday, we finally answer the question: how does this Servant accomplish the salvation of the world?  Isaiah 53 gives us three answers: the Servant bears our sorrows without complaint,He absorbs the full weight of God's righteous wrath against sin in his body,and He pours out His very life as both high priest and sacrifice so that guilty sinners could be counted righteous.This sermon walks through each of those three movements and doesn't shy away from the hard questions. If God is the one who helps the servant, why is God also the one who leads him into suffering? Is the Father being cruel? And what does it really mean that Jesus was "numbered with the transgressors"? The answers help us understand the cross as the only way a just God could justify the wicked while remaining just Himself. On Good Friday, Christians stand in awe of what God accomplished when Jesus refused to defend Himself, absorbed every ounce of punishment we deserved, and laid down His life so that we would never have to face God's wrath. ------------------------ At St. Peter’s Lutheran Church in Gibbon, Minnesota, God has gathered a congregation where all ages are present, from newborns to grandparents.

    Why Holy Communion Is the Center of Everything | 1 Corinthians 11 (Maundy Thursday)

    When Moses ratified God's covenant with Israel, he threw sacrificial blood on the altar and on the people. In addition to being dramatic and messy, it meant something: these people now belonged to God.  On Maundy Thursday, we see that same pattern fulfilled in a far greater way: Jesus takes bread and wine and says, "This is my body. This is my blood of the New Covenant." What happens at the communion rail is the delivery of everything Christ died to give us. This sermon from 1 Corinthians 11:23–32 makes the case that Holy Communion belongs at the center of the Church's life for three reasons:  it's where the New Covenant is personally handed to you, it's the Church's most powerful proclamation of Christ's saving death, and it's the means by which God lovingly examines and preserves his people. Along the way, there's an honest testing of the most common objection to frequent communion ("it loses its specialness if you do it too often"). And we learn how the stern warnings in Paul's letter are themselves an act of divine love. Whether you've received the Lord's Supper hundreds of times or you're still trying to understand what it's all about, this sermon will challenge you to take a fresh look at what's really happening at the altar. ------------------------ At St. Peter’s Lutheran Church in Gibbon, Minnesota, God has gathered a congregation where all ages are present, from newborns to grandparents.

    Why the Cross Is Glory, Not Defeat | John 12:20–43 (Palm Sunday)

    When Greek visitors came looking for Jesus during Passover week, they expected to meet a celebrity miracle worker. Instead, Jesus told them his true glory was about to be revealed on a Roman cross. In this Palm Sunday sermon from John 12:20–43, we learn why Jesus called his crucifixion his "hour of glory" and what that means for anyone who claims to follow him. The sermon points out three dimensions of the cross's glory:  it's the burial of a seed that produces an eternal harvest of salvation, it's the courtroom verdict that silences Satan's accusations against the baptized, and it's the force that draws every human being toward the Savior.Along the way, we encounter a vivid picture of the devil as a prosecuting attorney who's been thrown out of the courtroom—still shouting, but no longer holding any legal claim over those who belong to Christ. But the sermon doesn't end on a comfortable note. John tells us that many who witnessed Jesus' glory firsthand refused to confess him publicly because they were afraid of the personal cost. The challenge for us is honest and direct: are there places in your life where you're hiding your confession of Christ because the approval of other people feels safer than the approval of God? ------------------------ At St. Peter’s Lutheran Church in Gibbon, Minnesota, God has gathered a congregation where all ages are present, from newborns to grandparents.

    Redeemed Without Money: What God's Salvation Actually Looks Like | Isaiah 52:1–12

    If you were sold into slavery for nothing (no price tag, no value assigned) how exactly would you buy your way back out?  In Isaiah 52, Isaiah paints three vivid pictures:  captives redeemed at absolutely no cost to themselves, a messenger whose announcement of peace turns ruined-city watchmen into a choir, and a God who rolls up his sleeves in plain sight of every nation on earth. The result is an victory procession with God himself as both the vanguard and the rear guard!  But the sermon closes with an unsettling hint: the arm of the Lord, when you finally see it at work, is going to look nothing like the beautiful effects it produces. For that revelation, you'll have to wait for Good Friday. ------------------------ At St. Peter’s Lutheran Church in Gibbon, Minnesota, God has gathered a congregation where all ages are present, from newborns to grandparents.

    The Lamb on Mount Moriah: How Abraham Saw the Cross | Genesis 22

    God told a 100-year-old man to kill the son he'd waited 25 years to receive. At first it seems like one of the most disturbing stories in the Bible. But when you see what it's really about, it turns out to be one of the most beautiful.  On the fifth Sunday of Lent (known as "Judica"), this sermon walks through Genesis 22 in vivid detail. But the sermon doesn't stop in the Old Testament. It traces a web of connections (only son, beloved son, wood carried up a hill, a crown of thorns) that link Abraham's near-sacrifice of Isaac to God the Father's actual sacrifice of Jesus on the very same mountain.  Mount Moriah, it turns out, is where Jerusalem was built, where the temple stood, and where a cross was raised on Good Friday. Abraham named the place "The Lord Will Provide," and that's exactly what God did. ------------------------ At St. Peter’s Lutheran Church in Gibbon, Minnesota, God has gathered a congregation where all ages are present, from newborns to grandparents.

    Where Does God's Salvation Actually Come From? | Isaiah 51:1–6

    Isaiah 51 tells God's people to "look to the rock from which you were hewn." In this Lenten midweek sermon, we hear God redirect a people who are seeking Him but looking in the wrong place. He points them back to Abraham and Sarah (one man as good as dead and a barren woman) to show that His saving work has never depended on what He finds inside of us. The sermon traces a line from Abraham's calling through to the means by which God's eternal salvation still reaches us today: the proclaimed Word, baptismal water, the Lord's Supper, and the spoken absolution. Everything in this world wears out: our bodies, our spiritual disciplines, even our religious momentum. But what goes out from God doesn't fade because it isn't made from the stuff of heaven and earth. So we never "graduate" from the gospel that saves us. The righteousness of God always comes to us from the outside ("extra nos"). ------------------------ At St. Peter’s Lutheran Church in Gibbon, Minnesota, God has gathered a congregation where all ages are present, from newborns to grandparents.

    What Are Five Loaves for So Many? | John 6 and the Test of Impossible Insufficiency

    Five barley loaves and two fish is all Jesus had to work with when thousands of hungry people came streaming toward Him. St. John tells us "He already knew what He was going to do." So why did He ask Philip where they'd buy bread?  This sermon from John 6 explains that Jesus deliberately tests His people with impossible insufficiency to draw their trust away from numbers and toward the Creator standing right in front of them. But the feeding of the five thousand isn't just a story about full bellies. It's a preview of something greater. The same hands that took bread, gave thanks, and distributed it to thousands would later take bread on the night He was betrayed. This sermon traces a line from the manna in the wilderness through the miracle on the green grass all the way to the Lord's Supper and the waters of baptism. God has always sustained His pilgrim people on the journey between slavery and the promised land. If you've ever looked at what you have to offer and thought it wasn't worth mentioning, this one's for you. ------------------------ At St. Peter’s Lutheran Church in Gibbon, Minnesota, God has gathered a congregation where all ages are present, from newborns to grandparents.
