Sermon - December 15th 2019 by Trinity Lutheran Church, Arendtsville

On the Second Sunday of Advent, Trinity considers its calling to prepare the way of the Lord.

On the first Sunday of Advent, Trinity prepares their hearts and minds for the unbelievable things of God's kingdom coming near.

On this Christ the King Sunday, Trinity remembers Jesus as a different kind of king, and follows a God that calls us into an honesty of our lives for the sake of healing.

Trinity focuses on the First Reading from the Revised Common Lectionary this week. In this text from Malachi 4, we hear a message of change and hope.

Trinity hears a lesson of resurrection, and asks "Who cares for the widow?" in the present day.

Trinity reflects on the saints that have taught us about God, and hear God's call to the same grace filled work.

As Trinity celebrates Reformation Sunday, we hear of John Lasseter, and consider moments in church and personal history when God has stirred our hearts with expectation and passion that exceeds what the church is doing at that time.

Trinity asks itself who has been annoying us lately, who we need to annoy, and where the voice of God may be in the midst of these voices.

We apologize for the low quality of the beginning! The sound picks back up at the beginning of the sermon. Nevertheless, Trinity contemplates God's blessing for the individual and the community as the two are mixed together in Luke 17.

Trinity listens as Jesus raises the bar of expectation when it comes to forgiveness, and plants within us faith to match. In expectation, in faith and in growth, we change.

On Trinity's Harvest Home Sunday, we give thanks for the blessings God has given us, we try to share these with our neighbors, and we hear about God's blessing for the poor and for the sinner, all at the same time.

Trinity hears of lost sheep and lost coins, and how God never stops looking for and loving God's people.

Trinity wrestles with a tough text of division, ultimately hearing Christ calling us to trust the way that our baptism calls us to.

Trinity is joined by Ashlin Marchese, who speaks and sings the gospel into our hearts. In this proclamation, Jesus walks through our stuff, calling us out of possession and into stewardship.

This Sunday, Trinity's life is demanded of them.

Trinity listens as Jesus teaches us to pray. As we pray, we discover how this prayer is uncovering what we yearn for the most.

Trinity sits at the feet of Jesus, listening to the call to place a high importance on listening to the Word.
