A Sower Went Out To Sow: Getting the Good News Out
http://asowerwentouttosow.blogspot.com/2013/01/getting-good-news-out.html
A Sower Went Out To Sow. Sunday, January 13, 2013. Getting the Good News Out. This is my sermon text for January 6, celebrating the Epiphany of Our Lord, using the Gospel text from Matthew (Matthew 2.1-12). The Teaching Moment I refer to is a minute or two I take during the service to point out something that normally wouldn't fit well into my message. Usually, it is about one of the other lessons, but here it comes from the Gospel lesson. In my Teaching Moment ( see the bottom of this post. We are not g...

A Sower Went Out To Sow: What Makes You Beautiful
http://asowerwentouttosow.blogspot.com/2013/02/this-is-my-sermon-for-february-3.html
A Sower Went Out To Sow. Wednesday, February 6, 2013. What Makes You Beautiful. This is my sermon for February 3. We celebrated the Presentation of Our Lord (even tho that was 2/2) because it allowed us to hear almost all of the Nativity from Luke. So the focus of my message was from Luke 2:22-40. While we were down in New Orleans for the National Youth Gathering, we got to hear a LOT of great music. Every night in the Superdome, where I understand there is a football game being played later today. These...

A Sower Went Out To Sow: January 2011
http://asowerwentouttosow.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html
A Sower Went Out To Sow. Saturday, January 8, 2011. I'm Not Closing The Doors, But I Have Turned Off The Water. I've decided to put this blog on hiatus, and will try to use my pre-existing blog, Prepare Ye. I'm hoping that I might be able to keep up with that one. It's been dormant since March of last year, but hopefully with this whole graduating-moving somewhere thing, I can find stuff to post. I may come back here and bring this back up to code, but I don't know about that. Friday, January 7, 2011.

A Sower Went Out To Sow: Sowing the Seeds of Love
http://asowerwentouttosow.blogspot.com/2012/12/sowing-seeds-of-love.html
A Sower Went Out To Sow. Monday, December 24, 2012. Sowing the Seeds of Love. This is my sermon text from Sunday, December 16, right after the Newtown shootings. Both churches had their Sunday School Christmas program, so the service order was adjusted. I had planned on giving a short message based on Philippians 4.4-7. Focusing on "Rejoice." I couldn't do that, so I delivered this sermon instead. 8221; “Where was God? But before we ask, “Where was God? Ask “Where were we? We are called and commanded by ...

A Sower Went Out To Sow: Shepherding was not a glamorous vocation back in the single digit years
http://asowerwentouttosow.blogspot.com/2012/12/shepherding-was-not-glamorous-vocation.html
A Sower Went Out To Sow. Monday, December 24, 2012. Shepherding was not a glamorous vocation back in the single digit years. This is my sermon text for my Christmas Morn sermon. I used Luke 2.8-20. Shepherding was not a glamorous vocation back in the single digit years. So it was to people who had turned away from God that the hosts of heaven came to bring “ good news of great joy for all of the people. Would you quake at the sight? 8221; The shepherds went on giving praise, honor and glory to God “...

A Sower Went Out To Sow: Called
http://asowerwentouttosow.blogspot.com/2012/12/called.html
A Sower Went Out To Sow. Monday, December 24, 2012. This is the text for my Christmas Eve sermon. I am focusing on Joseph and Mary and leaving the rest of the Birth Narrative to Christmas Day. My texts for this sermon are Luke 1.26-38, Matthew 1.18-25 and Luke 2.1-7. You may be thinking, Pastor, where’s the rest? Why are you stopping there? Where are the angels Harking? The little drummer boy? Where is the rest of Christmas? I think Mary takes it quite well. She asks only one question, “How? So that brin...

A Sower Went Out To Sow: Long Live The Revolution!
http://asowerwentouttosow.blogspot.com/2012/12/long-live-revolution.html
A Sower Went Out To Sow. Monday, December 24, 2012. Long Live The Revolution! This is the text of my sermon for Sunday, December 23, and was based on the Magnificat. I don’t think many of us in the Lutheran tradition, or in any of the Protestant traditions, really think about Mary. The Virgin Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ, seems to be the, I don’t want to say possession, but she belongs to the Roman Catholic tradition. 8221; We imagine her heartbreak when we hear Christ from the cross say, “Woma...
