“To obtain such faith God instituted the office of preaching, giving the gospel and the sacraments. Through these, as through means, he gives the Holy Spirit who produces faith, where and when he wills, in those who hear the gospel”
(Augsburg Confession, Article V, Concerning the Office of Preaching”)
Sermons are meant to help us hear God’s Word of love for each of us. As we listen, the Lord can transform and renew us, so that we might speak with love about the God who is love. Keep in mind that listening to an audio file of a sermon is a very different experience than participating in live worship, sort of like the difference between eating a home-cooked meal with family & friends and grabbing fast food. If you can, come join us around the table at Our Redeemer!
