Contemporary Worship and Suffering for Jesus (Sunday Update)


Sermon for 5/12/24

For the Seventh Sunday of Easter Pastor Bramwell preached about the reality that many American Christians are unfaithful. Nevertheless, the Lord promised to vindicate His great name which every Christian bears. When we are insulted for the sake of Christ, we are blessed. Let us not reject it, but live in the absolution of Christ and suffer with Him.

Follow along with Pastor Bramwell as he gathers his initial thoughts on this week’s texts…


Episode 11: Contemporary worship is woke! Let’s talk about worship practices.

Criminal co-eds took over college campuses. They say it’s about Palestine, but it’s really about despising Romans 13. But what does this evil have to do with our Concordia Universities? If you said DEI, you guessed it.


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.
