Trinity Lutheran SheboyganSermon: The One Who Serves | Luke 10:38–42 | Martha and MaryThe One Who Serves | Luke 10:38–42
Mary sat at the Lord’s feet. Martha served with urgency. But Jesus did not rebuke Martha’s service—He simply reminded her of what was most needful.
In this moment from Luke’s Gospel, we find both Mary and Martha giving and receiving. And in the middle of it all stands Jesus—the One who serves. He teaches, He receives, and He continues to do the same for us today. When we gather in worship, Christ serves us with His Word and Sacrament.

Luke 10:25–37 | The Parable of the Good Samaritan
Who is my neighbor? It’s a question asked not just by a lawyer in Jesus’ day, but by many of us still today. In one of the most well-known parables, Jesus shows that our neighbor is not defined by geography, background, or even behavior—but by need. The one who needs your mercy is your neighbor.

On this Fourth of July weekend, we pause to reflect on a deeper kind of joy—one that cannot be shaken by trials or taken away by time.
True joy isn’t just a smile or fleeting emotion. It’s a lasting peace, rooted in Jesus Christ and His finished work. In Luke 10, Jesus reminds us not to rejoice in worldly success or power, but in something far greater: “Rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”

Estrangement is more than distance—it's a broken relationship, where communication has collapsed and people live in separation, sometimes even hostility. In Luke 8, we meet a man who embodies this estrangement: isolated, tormented, and living among the dead. Yet Jesus crosses the sea to reach even him.
In this sermon, we see how Jesus heals the man possessed by a legion of demons, not merely to show power over evil—but to overcome separation. Separation from self. From others. From God.

They came expecting to anoint a dead body. Instead, they found an empty tomb, folded grave clothes, and two angels declaring, “He is not here, but has risen.” In Luke 24:1–12, the women who had followed Jesus were the first to hear the resurrection news—and it was not what they expected.
“Not What Was Expected” invites us to reflect on the many ways God surprises us with grace. The resurrection of Jesus overturns every earthly expectation. In place of mourning, we are given joy. In place...2025-04-1815 min

Trinity Lutheran SheboyganSermon: Jesus Reigns Among Us | Luke 4:31–44📖 Jesus Reigns: Authority Over Evil, Sickness, and Sin | Luke 4:31–44
In today's sermon, we see the power and authority of Jesus in action. The prophet Isaiah declared, “Your God reigns” (Isaiah 52:7), and we witness that reign in Luke 4:31–44 as Christ speaks with divine authority—casting out demons, rebuking sickness, and healing all who come to Him.
This is no reign of terror, but of love, joy, and peace. As we sang, “Come, O Christ, and reign among us” (LSB 842 v. 3), we rejoice that Jesus' authority is not just over nature and spirits, but over sin and death itself.
