Lutheran Sermons | David L. Hansen

On TV, in advertising, on the big screen - we are wrapped up in stories. But often in our faith we forget the power of stories to transform our lives and the world. Our current series, "I Love to Tell the Story," returns us to the power of the story of who God is and our relationship with God.
Sermon 1: The Power of Story
Scriptures include: Psalm 71:14-20, Joel 1:1-3, and Luke 10:25-37. During the sermon, we showed the "Lost Dog" Budweiser commercial, which you can watch on youtube here.
Next week's sermon asks the question, "Telling Whose Story?"

The essential stories of Scripture, looking this week at the message of the Prophets. Readings: Amos 5:14-16, 21-24 and 2 Samuel 12:1-10.
Preached at Spirit of Joy! Lutheran Church on October 6, 2019

We often experience darkness as a negative - the absence of light. But throughout Scripture, God meets people in the middle of the dark. And it is often there, in the beauty of the dark, that God's love and grace are revealed.

This Advent, we are invited to experience Hope in the Dark.

Texts this week: Genesis 1:1-5, Song of Songs 1:2-6, and Exodus 20:18-21
