Grace Enough for All of Us

A sermon  from the 23rd Sunday after Pentecost, October 23, 2016. The audio was recorded at the Praise and Worship service of Bethany Lutheran Church.
Luke 18:9-14 (NRSV)

Jesus also told this parable to some who trusted in themselves that they were righteous and regarded others with contempt:
10“Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.
11The Pharisee, standing by himself, was praying thus,
‘God, I thank you that I am not like other people: thieves, rogues, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.
12I fast twice a week; I give a tenth of all my income.’
13But the tax collector, standing far off, would not even look up to heaven, but was beating his breast and saying,
‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’
14I tell you, this man went down to his home justified rather than the other;
for all who exalt themselves will be humbled, but all who humble themselves will be exalted.”

    Welcome! This blog contains recordings and manuscripts of sermons that I have preached. I understand preaching to be an event, not just words on paper. The recording captures the event of preaching, God's living Word present in Gods living community. The manuscript represents the preparation leading up to the event of preaching.
