What’s the best way to prepare for Jesus’ coming? It’s not with frantic doing. It’s not with a focus on what we have done or promise to do. It’s not how we will pay back what he comes to bring. The best preparation for Christmas is a readiness to receive.

Sermon: “Have you Seen Your Salvation?” You could say that there are two great miracles at Christmas. The first we focused on during the Christmas services — that God has become man for us and for our salvation. The second will be our focus for this morning — that God in grace reveals the first miracle even to us and blesses us with all its benefits.

Jesus came to be our peace. He came to us veiled in humility, as an infant in the insignificant town of Bethlehem. Still today, he comes to us and reveals himself to us not through outward displays of power and glory, but only through his Word. To those who see him and receive him by faith he bestows true peace.

Knowing that you belong to God gives you real comfort, peace, and hope.

When Jesus was carrying out his ministry on this earth, he called his disciples by saying to them, “Come, follow me.” Through the gospel our Savior continues to make disciples and invites all to follow.

File Description: READINGS: First Lesson: Exodus 20:1-17; Second Lesson: Romans 8:1-10; Gospel Lesson: John 2:13-22


When Jesus clears the temple in Jerusalem, he shows how serious he is about keeping his Father's House pure.


If that is how serious Jesus is about a building made of bricks and stones, how serious do you think he is about you, his living temple being pure?


But we cannot keep our lives clean of sin on our own so God sent his Son to purify us and cleanse of every sinful stain; he sent his Holy Spirit to live


in us and empower us to live pure God-pleasing lives.

READINGS: First Lesson: Jeremiah 31:31-34; Second Lesson: Hebrews 5:7-9; Gospel Lesson: John 12:20-33

Before Christ came, God established a covenant with his people that regulated everything they did. They had laws on what to eat, how to clean, what to touch and not to touch. This covenant regulated when and how they were to worship and required constant sacrifices. But Christ came to establish a new covenant. He kept all the laws and rules for all people. His death served as the final once and for all sacrifice. Now, instead of a covenant of "you must do this and not do that," Jesus' new covenant comes with the assurance, "It is finished." Jesus has done it all.

On Palm Sunday we celebrate our Savior's triumphant ride into Jerusalem. He was praised by the crowd as a King but yet we see that he is a king like no other. He didn't come to rule over us in glory, but to humbly serve us and save us. He didn't come to demand anything from us but to give everything for us.
