Sermons from Ascension Lutheran Church, RPV

The final sermon in our Gospel series. God's first word is always "Welcome!"

We are the salt of the earth and the light of the world.  We do not have to work for it. Salt does not lose its saltiness. Light continues to shine throughout the universe. Let us rest in our identity in Christ.

This sermon looks at the Sermon on the Mount and teaches us how the gospel upends all of our expectations. The Beatitudes are good news for the tired, lonely and hurting. 

The fourth in our sermon series delighting in the Gospel. The grace of God has appeared, not only bringing salvation to all, but enabling us to live lives that are self-controlled, upright, and godly.

The third sermon in our series delighting in the Gospel. We looked at the power of the Holy Spirit working through the church. 

We are going to spend the next few weeks enjoying the Gospel. What is the gospel? It God's unending love for us found in the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. This gift intoxicates us to go and life a life of joy. Listen as we begin this series. 

We continue to look at the Gospel as a gift. We ask ourselves the question, where do we go when the rational world seeks being rational. One place to go is the world of story. What if the feelings found in the greatest stories were true and entered human history? This gift happens for us in Jesus Christ.
