This week in our Gospel reading, Mark 9:38-50, Jesus tells us that everyone will be salted with fire. Salt water can cleanse a cut or a scrape, and salt in our tears can cleanse our inner wounds as we release our cries of repentance. Sanctification can be painful, like removing a foot, or a hand, or an eye, as even the deepest parts of ourselves ar…

This week in our Gospel reading, Mark 9:30-37, we hear how Jesus asked His disciples what they were arguing about on the road, but they kept quiet because they had argued about who was the greatest. Jesus doesn't rebuke them for wanting to be great. Instead, He explains to them exactly what it means to be great - "Anyone who wants to be first must …

[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus. Amen. Dear Saints, two things to reflect on this morning from the text. The first is this, the devil really hates you. And the second is that Jesus loves to hear this prayer, I believe, Lord help my unbelief. In fact, I think that’s probably the reason why Mark gives us this account and the Holy Spirit …

This week in our Gospel reading, Mark 8:27-38, we hear how St Peter was the first disciple to acknowledge that Jesus is the Messiah. But others around Jesus thought He was John the Baptist, or Elijah, or one of the prophets. Some people today might say that Jesus is a "good teacher," but not that He is the Messiah or the Son of the Living God. Who …

[Machine transcription] And they were astonished beyond measure, saying, He has done all things well. You may be seated. In the name of Jesus, amen. Dear Aidan and all the baptized, the Lord Jesus has opened your ears to hear his word. And the Lord Jesus has opened his ears to hear your prayers. I think these two things are what our pair of miracle…

This week in our Gospel reading, Mark 7:24-37, we hear how a Gentile woman came to Jesus and asked Him to help her daughter, who was possessed by an impure spirit. Jesus told her to first let the children eat all they want, that it isn't right to give the children's bread to dogs, but she told Him that even the dogs eat the children's crumbs. And w…

[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, amen. Finally, dear saints, be strong in the Lord and the strength of his might put on the whole armor of God. You who are baptized, which is you, if you’re not baptized see me after church, you who are baptized have been enlisted by the Lord Jesus in a spiritual battle. How many of you know that, and i…

This week in our Gospel reading, John 1:1-14 , we hear how Jesus is the true light come into the world, who has given us the right to become children of God. As children of God, we are guided by our heavenly Father, and nurtured by Christ's church, so that we may reach the full height of our faith and be conformed to the image of the only begotten …

[Machine transcription] In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. Well, brothers and sisters, this morning we hear this particular word that Jesus uses. The Pharisees used it also, but Jesus uses it really kind of back against them. And we’re going to also not necessarily hear it in the lesson from Isaiah, but it’s ki…

This week in our Gospel reading, John 6:56-69 we hear Jesus speaking with His disciples, knowing from the beginning who would believe and who would betray Him. St Peter, also known as Simon Peter, was the first disciple to acknowledge that Jesus was the Christ, the Messiah, and at this confession of faith, Jesus declared that Simon, son of Jonah, w…

[Machine transcription] In the name of Jesus, Amen. Dear Saints, in the wilderness, when the Lord Jesus is feeding the 5,000 people, He is doing much more than just providing for them the food that they need. He is, in that miracle, and in His life, and in His teaching, and in His death, and in His resurrection, He is undoing the original sin of Ad…

This week in our Gospel reading, John 6:51-58, we hear how whoever feeds on the flesh of Christ will live forever. When we come to Holy Communion, we are the Church, the Body of Christ, come to receive the Body and Blood of Christ. That which we receive nurtures who we are and who we are becoming, as we grow to be conformed to the image of the Son …
