In this section you will find some of the many text copies of sermons that Pastor John has preached at Holy Communon during his 5 years of ministry among us. Sermons are reflections on the gospel - that is - the Good News that God become a human being so that we can know the God who rules the universe. This God who created us and is always, ever present in our lives and human life as we experience it. Sermons do many things. They encourage us when we feel overwhelmed by vivdly stating that God is for us. When we know chaos, when things are "out of control", a sermon reminds us that the Lord of Life orders all existence. Sermons restate that truth with examples. Sometimes we feel riddled with guilt, unforgivable; sermons assert that in Christ, God took away the sins of the world - ours included. Sermons also remind us of God's way when we feel willfull and want to go our way, usually the sinful way. Such sermons exhort us to repent - that is - to turn around and go down the path God sets before us.

Reading a sample or two of these sermons will give you a feel for Pastor John's syle. Pastor is a seriously committed Lutheran. Lutherans believe that God's last and ultimate word is always a word of grace, peace and forgivenss. Happy "foraging".
