Hearing the Word of God’s forgiveness in His Service

Saint John the Baptist Bearing Witness by Annibale Carracci

Today’s sermon has been divided into four parts to remind us of God’s work in serving us His gifts in His Divine Service.

The clear, heartfelt and grace-full message of Scripture

The Parable of the Great Banquet by Maurice Morel

How are you doing with staying daily heavenly minded while doing earthly good? This can be tough, as you are continually bombarded by reports of worldly realities that seem to communicate, “The sky is falling!”
How are you handling the satanic and fallen worldly messages that continue to rail against the clear, beautiful, and graceful messages of Scripture that come to the hearers of God’s Word from the right division of Law and Gospel?
Those among us who truly and honestly answered those questions likely confessed that you are not doing well, to say the least….For more, click on the title above.
