Our Scripture lesson this morning is taken from Lk 1:46-55 : And Mary said, “My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has looked on the humble estate of his servant.

What then shall we say was gained by Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh? For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God. For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness.” Now to the one who works,…

Holy Possessions
Pastor Greg Stenzel • Christ Lutheran Church & School • Sermon • • 20 views • 22:06
What Is This Bread? What Is This Wine? For us who grew up in the Lutheran church, Martin Luther’s Small Catechism conjures up recollections of confirmation instruction. As though wearing a badge of honor, we probably recall the pastor who expected us to recite major parts of the catechism—and we did…

Many of you remember the old TV program Mission: Impossible, and some of you have become acquainted with it through the more recent movie versions starring Tom Cruise.

THE OPEN DOOR OF FORGIVENESS From the Catechism What is the Office of the Keys?

Where…

Our Scripture lesson this morning comes from 1 Corinthians 10:23-11:1 . “All things are lawful,” but not all things are helpful. “All things are lawful,” but not all things build up. Let no one seek his own good, but the good of his neighbor. Eat whatever is sold in the meat market without raising any…
Deuteronomy
Keith Larson • Greene Valley Presbyterian Church • Sermon • • 25 views • 29:42
Our text this morning is taken from Proverbs 6:16-19 : There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes…
Jesus' Ministry
Pastor Greg Stenzel • Christ Lutheran Church & School • Sermon • • 39 views • 27:28
In The Freedom of a Christian , Luther asserts that the Christian is a free lord, servant to none, and a bound servant, subject to all (Martin Luther, Christian Freedom: Faith Working through Love [St. Louis: Concordia, 2011]). Today’s sermon text speaks directly to this paradox. Here Jesus proclaims…
Easter - Wednesday
Pastor Greg Stenzel • Christ Lutheran Church & School • Sermon • • 13 views • 33:27
We live in a society saturated with sin, BUT with little concern about it. People have become numb to sin. Nothing shocks us any more. Breaking the Ten Commandments has become so commonplace that we do not even give it a thought. Worse yet, all this is happening with individuals who profess to be Christians.…
Lent -- Our Greatest Need
Pastor Greg Stenzel • Christ Lutheran Church & School • Sermon • • 19 views • 29:45
“Our Greatest Needs – A Champion” He was called a champion. In modern English that term could mean the winner of the local softball league, but champion is a term that used to refer to a very specific type of warrior, a single combat warrior. In our age of Modern Warfare, it can be hard to remember what…
Pentecost--Focused
Pastor Greg Stenzel • Christ Lutheran Church & School • Sermon • • 26 views • 28:19
Lord, teach us to pray. “Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples” ( Luke 11:1 ). Each rabbi had a particular way of petitioning God, and Jesus’ disciples are aware that John had taught his disciples how to make petition to God. What has become so familiar to us is actually remarkable: “So…
Epiphany 2021
Pastor Greg Stenzel • Christ Lutheran Church & School • Sermon • • 36 views • 25:24
“Stop the world! I want to get off!” This is the reaction most of us have when we run into a major roadblock in our day. You know that feeling when something out of your control happens and throws a major monkey wrench your way. The coffee pot just exploded; your computer decides to take the day off…
Penteost
Pastor Greg Stenzel • Christ Lutheran Church & School • Sermon • • 82 views • 39:51
In our text today, Jesus speaks of something so small that if you wanted to see it, you couldn’t—at least from the distance of pulpit to pew. I could hold it up right here, right in front of you, give you time for a good, long look, and you’d never see it. It’s too tiny. Do you know what I’m thinking…

I knew the day was coming, when our youngest grandson, Carter, was going to finally use the one word everyone hoped he would never use. Can you guess the word? Not “no”, MINE. It happened early this week, when we were sitting at the table. He was eating his dessert, an Oreo cookie, which he has discovered…
Ten Commandments
Pastor Greg Stenzel • Christ Lutheran Church & School • Sermon • • 43 views • 18:47
When We Honor God’s Name, We Honor God Himself, Who Died to Save Us from Our Sin. Luther’s explanation to the Second Commandment states: “We should fear and love God so that we do not curse, swear, use satanic arts, lie, or deceive by His name, but call upon it in every trouble, pray, praise, and give…

READ 2 Timothy 4:1-5 What is something about you that people who really KNOW you, would say you are characterized by? Grand-kids, money, guns, gardening, mechanical, pets… (nothing wrong with....)

Deuteronomy
Keith Larson • Greene Valley Presbyterian Church • Sermon • • 59 views • 26:28
I am going to be reading 1 Thessalonians 4:1-6 from the New King James Version . As I read note that I have highlighted the word “ defraud ”. In our pew Bibles, the translators of the ESV chose to translate this Greek word “ wrong ”. The primary meaning of this Greek word is “defraud”; that is to take…

Biblical Hospitality Class

Question: What is the difference between tolerance and approval? Question: Can we love those we disapprove of? Parents who love their children do not approve of everything they do.

Who do you say I am? When Jesus asked that question of the 12, they had been with him almost three years. At this point, they had heard His amazing teaching, “…the crowds were astonished at his teaching, 29 for he was teaching them as one who had authority, and not as their scribes. Matthew 7:28-29 (ESV)…
