Faith, Mary, and our joy and triumph in Christ (Sunday Update)


Sermon for 12/24/23

This week is the Fourth Sunday in Advent (Rorate Coeli), and the sermon was on Luke 1:45. The podcast version was produced for the benefit of those who are unable to attend the Divine Service.

Readings for the Day:

  • Old Testament: Deuteronomy 18:15-19
  • Epistle: Philippians 4:4-7
  • Gospel: Luke 1:39-56

This Week’s Sign for 12/24/23 to 12/31/23


This resource is not intended to discourage anyone from gathering in person around God’s Word and Sacraments. Matthew 18:20 and Hebrews 10:25 make it clear that God’s Divine Service is meant to be experienced physically with other Christians.

We give thanks to God that these sermons are a blessing to you and pray that if you’re in Humboldt County, you will join us on Sunday mornings at 10:30 AM as God wills. (See the map below for directions.) If you’re not within driving distance of Ferndale CA, we encourage you to use the Church Locator at LCMS.org to find a church near you so you can gather in person with the communion of saints in your area.
