Sermon for Sunday, June 30, 2024

For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice of an archangel, and with the sound of the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.  Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we will always be with the Lord. Therefore encourage one another with these words.

Sermon for Sunday, June 23, 2024

Jesus was called a wine-bibber, as translated in the King James Version in both Matthew 11:19 and Luke 7:34.  Of course, this is an accusation made about Jesus by the priests.  While Jesus most definitely drank wine and so did his disciples (think Passover), he never was a drunkard or a glutton.
