Shining with the Light of Christ [Sermon]
The masses can be massively wrong, following the devil toward ruin. God calls us individually to repentance under His law, redeems us in Christ, and sends us to shine as lights in a crooked generation.
Sermons
Sermons from St. Peter’s Lutheran Church.
Daily Repentance [Sermon]
The proper time for repentance is today, not years past or some future date. God invites us to daily confess our sins and covers us with the robe of Christ’s righteousness.
The Power to Forgive [Sermon]
Forgiveness is not a power that lies in us but a gift God bestows through the gospel. He transforms our hearts so we can forgive from the heart, as Jesus commands, and receive the blessings that ripple out to others.
Worldly Sacrifice for the Sake of Christ
Worldly sacrifices are not sacrifices at all. Giving up our sins is pure gain, and even good things we lay aside are exchanged for the gospel and the gift of eternal life.
The Christian’s Relationship to Civil Authority
Civil authorities are instituted by God for our wellbeing and are to be obeyed unless they command what is contrary to his word. God also rules his people inwardly by transforming hearts through the gospel of Jesus Christ.

The heart of the church is the Office of the Keys. Externals may shine or crumble, but only the gospel and law open heaven’s door.
