The Truth about Yourself and God
A sermon preached on the occasion of Arnold Anderson's funeral at Wilmington Lutheran Church in Arnegard, North Dakota by the Reverend Timothy J. Swenson. Confrontation with God through the rebuking rod of God's Law and through the gathering staff of God's Gospel is like "wrestling with angels" and reveals the truth about us as sinners and about God as one who redeems sinners.

Genesis 32:24-31 Psalm 23 Hebrews 11:20-21 John 4:1-29

From God's Heart to Yours

2010-01-03 02 Christmas Sermon part 1 A sermon preached on the Second Sunday after Christmas at Wilmington Lutheran Church. The Gospel reading was John 1:1-18 and the second lesson was Ephesians 1:3-14. These beautiful texts declare who Jesus is (Christology) and what he does (soteriology). Our Lord is not merely something "applied" to us, his heart (his life) replaces ours.
