Gathering Time 24:38

2y ago24:38

24:38

Pentecost was a day of miracles, including the miracle of understanding given to peopel who spoke many different languages but understood the proclamation of the Apostles. It was the opposite of the language confusion that took place at the Tower of Babel and it was the beginning of a great sending of the church to every tribe, nation and tounge. I…

Mission Control 24:01

2y ago24:01

24:01

Before a rocket launch, there is a great deal of preparation and just before there is a series of final systems checks. In this sermon from Bethany Lutheran's Ascension Sunday, I am connecting that image with the Apostles who waited for the coming of the Holy Spirit. This episode also features special music from Linda and Lindsay Hemphill.…

This holiday podcast includes music from many of Bethany's choirs recorded during the Advent and Christmas seasons, with special thanks to Linda Hemphill our Music Director and "Team Roadie" our sound board operators who have been providing some very good material for me to share!

Daniel Chapter 6 20:23

2+ y ago20:23

20:23

This podcast was recorded in the summer of 2021 after Bethany Lutheran finished a challenging season for our children's choirs. At the start, I'll talk a bit about the name of this podcast and how it relates to what I am thinking about for the future of our church during and after the current pandemic. The sermon and the song after are all about Da…

Daniel Chapter 5 20:25

20:25

In the introduction, I share some news about worship at Bethany in Alexandria, Virginia for the summer of 2021. There are also a few facts about Daniel before the sermon that was recorded on June 6. At the end, enjoy getting your "Marching Orders" from organist, Linda Hemphill.By Andrew W. Jagow

The End 26:06

3y ago26:06

26:06

31 sermons later, I got to finally say "the end"! Except that it is not really the end because there is so much of "The Story" that we are a part of right now, and even more that is "not yet." It is better to say "Amen!" It shall be so! This podcast includes the final sermon in the spiritual growth series called "The Story" as well as a special Mot…

God's Word Is Not Chained 24:26

3y ago24:26

24:26

The second last chapter of "The Story" gives us some encouragement from the Apostle Paul to Timothy. As a church, we heard this while going through our pandemic self-quarantine when most of our members were worshiping at home. The music at the end is J.S. Bach's "Sheep Will Safely Graze" played by Linda and Lindsay Hemphill.…

You Will Be Saved 34:38

3y ago34:38

34:38

This chapter of "The Story" is all about the missionary journeys of Paul. The sermon zooms in on Philippi where the the church starts with a merchant, a slave girl and a jailer's family. This gives us a glimpse of how the Body of Christ comes together and is sent out by the power of the Holy Spirit. The music in this podcast is performed by the pra…

They Never Stopped 29:56

3y ago29:56

29:56

Chapter 28 of "The Story" takes us to the birth of the church after the Resurrection of Jesus. The title of my sermon is "They Never Stopped". At the time this was preached (one year ago) we were learning terms like "lock down" and "social distance" and dealing with the fact that the church could not hold public worship. Still, "we never stopped" t…

Risen! 33:00

3y ago33:00

33:00

One year ago, I was wondering what would become of Easter during quarantine! As I continue to collect the remaining sermons of "The Story" for this podcast, I reflect a little on how things have changed over this past year. The sermon from Easter Sunday latches onto two phrases in the Gospel of Matthew and "The Story" chapter 27. Finally, listen to…

The Cup part two 26:31

3y ago26:31

26:31

At the Last Supper, a cup is passed after Jesus says words of blessing and then pronounces, “This is my blood of the new covenant…”. Later, in the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus prays that “this cup” may be taken away. Cups are used in different ways throughout the Bible, and in this chapter, we see a cup of blessing and a cup of wrath. Both are signi…

"This Cup" part one 23:14

3y ago23:14

23:14

"The Story" reaches a climax with God's decisive action to overcome our sinful nature and even death itself. The sermon on this podcast was preached one year ago when we only had a small group in church broadcasting online. You will hear some of what we were all going through, including our (no) communion practices at the time. There is also a hymn…

This podcast collects some of the readings and music you are likely to hear at Bethany Lutheran around Christmas time. Merry Christmas! And my God bless us, every one.By Andrew W. Jagow

The Messiah 34:38

3+ y ago34:38

34:38

“You are the messiah,” Peter confesses. What is a messiah? The title connects us to the kingdoms of David and Solomon and the expectation of God’s people to be saved from their enemies. People in the days of Jesus debated what signs to look for to know that God has sent the Messiah. As Jesus approaches the end of His earthly mission, He gives a sig…

Save Me! 22:56

3+ y ago22:56

22:56

Powerful words and powerful miracles astonish those around Jesus of Nazareth in chapter 24 of “The Story”. Jesus gives the greatest commandment, He finds the lost, He silences the wind with a word, and beats back the devil’s hold on this world by banishing demons, sicknesses and blindness. Then there comes the moment when one of His disciples is si…

Living Water 17:20

3+ y ago17:20

17:20

Water is very prevalent in chapter 23 of “The Story”. We begin with the ministry of John the Baptist by the Jordan River and then water is turned to wine at a wedding, and that is followed with a discussion about being born again through “water and the Spirit.” Where is all this water leading us? Jesus discusses “Living Water” at a well in Samaria …

My Father's House 16:30

3+ y ago16:30

16:30

This sermon was recorded at a special "Christmas in the Spring" service where we marked God's entrance into "The Story" with chapter 22. The mission of Jesus includes adopting us into His family and that gives us something to celebrate! Going with the "Christmas" theme, C2W (Created 2 Worship) offers the instrumental "I Wonder as I Wander."…

Let Us Rebuild! 20:43

“He was a teacher well versed in the Law of Moses, which the Lord, the God of Israel, had given.” – Ezra 7:6 “Let us start rebuilding!” – Nehemiah 2:18 God provides for the exiles who were returning from the east. Two men who were instrumental in rebuilding – one, a person who was an effective and canny leader who helped to defend the Jews from the…

The year 2020 has not been good for podcasting, so far, but this sermon I felt I had to get out because I feel it is an important message. Do you belong at our church? Who are the little ones in Matthew 18? Listen to the sermon from this past Labor Day weekend along with music from our Summer Singers performing "Teach Me, O Lord, the Way of Thy Sta…

Here Comes That Dreamer 21:42

4+ y ago21:42

21:42

After Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, you would expect the rest of “The Story” to unfold in the land God promised to them and their descendants. But, in chapter three, we go from Caanan to Egypt and the road there is filled with a series of misfortunes for Jacob’s son, Joseph. But because God’s hand is in all of Joseph’s life, there can be a reconciliati…

Against All Hope 15:23

4+ y ago15:23

15:23

Abraham and Sarah journey from their home to the place that God promises to them and to their descendants. It is a journey of faith, both because of the physical travel involved, and also because of the way God keeps them on the right spiritual path. Many centuries later, the Apostle Paul writes, “Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so b…

These Are The Generations 18:34

4+ y ago18:34

18:34

At Bethany's Rally Day service for 2019, we introduced "The Story" - a program to read through the Bible. In the book of Genesis, we see the phrase "these are the generations" repeated. This connects well to our dedication to read and pass on God's Word so that "One generation" can "commend your works to another, and ...declare your mighty acts." (…

Kingdom Come 15:41

4+ y ago15:41

15:41

“Who are you people?” God’s people were meant to be a nation built on love toward God and one another. Kindness and mercy was built into the fabric of their lives by the covenant God gave through Moses. But through the centuries, sinful greed and selfishness permeated the nation. The society that Amos of Tekoa was sent to preach to was apparently n…

Kingdom Glory 12:33

4+ y ago12:33

12:33

In the second of three "Kingdom Talks", I preach about “Kingdom Glory” based on 1 Timothy 1:12-17. God has acted in Paul’s life, so as he writes to his former travel partner, he expresses with joy how God has given him strength and has given so much grace that it has overflowed into his life. That leads to an expression of praise, similar to when D…

Kingdom Work 15:52

4+ y ago15:52

15:52

Church budgets are based on faith and the work of the Holy Spirit as much as they are on math and organizational objectives. That adds a certain supernatural element to church budgeting that drives most pastors and volunteers absolutely nuts while God and His angels (I’m sure) smile at us. In Luke 14:28 Jesus says to the great crowds who are follow…

Things Not Seen 15:56

4+ y ago15:56

15:56

In Hebrews 11:1, we read that “faith is the assurance of things hoped for and the conviction of things not seen.” The prophet Jeremiah held to his faith, convinced that the words of future judgment on Jerusalem were the true Word of God. The trouble was, there were so many other voices at the time that were giving a false testimony about God and a …

Things Hoped For 21:19

4+ y ago21:19

21:19

“Faith is the assurance of things hoped for…”. If I were able to talk to the writer of Hebrews, today, I might challenge that person and ask why Abraham and Sarah are said to have had faith in what they hoped for without any mention of the redirection they had to receive from God along the way. But, looking again at Hebrews chapter 11, I think I ca…

Growing with Galatians 3/3 17:45

17:45

We will reap in due time if we do not give up! Paul gives us many reasons for not giving up all through the letter to the Galatians. In our last trip to this little garden in Galatians, we'll revisit how Paul connects the Kingdom of God to God's creation and all the ways we may reap the good that is sown by the power of the Holy Spirit.…

Happy Summer! The Article 7 Podcast is back, again with three early summer sermons from a series preached at Bethany Lutheran Church and Preschool.

So, come and plant yourself …
