The Rock is Christ, Converting, and More than Women are Not Sex Objects(Sunday Update)


Sermon for 1/28/24

This week is Septuagesima. The sermon was on 1 Corinthians 10:1-5. The podcast and video versions were produced for the benefit of those who were unable to attend the Divine Service and for the evangelism efforts of the congregation.


This Week’s Sign for 01/28/24 – 02/4/24


We learn from Martin Chemnitz about the eight varieties of tradition, speak with Rev. Marcus Williams about three pieces of advice he has for Lutherans who may be considering converting to Roman Catholicism or Eastern Orthodoxy, and Pastor Bramwell has a Canceled Christian Comment on what Vice President Kamala Harris said about the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
