My friends, Baptism is one of the greatest gifts God ever gave to us, but it is also one of the most misunderstood. Some view Baptism as some sort of magic water which gives whoever goes into it “spiritual immunity.” Some view Baptism as part two of an altar call, where a person … Continue reading Sermon: Dying and Rising in Baptism — Roland Weisbrot
Sermon: Christ the King — Roland Weisbrot
Allow me to read a few verses from the Book of Colossians once more: “For he has rescued us from the kingdom of darkness and transferred us into the Kingdom of his dear Son, who purchased our freedom and forgave our sins” (1:13-14).

Sermon: The Communion of the Saints — Roland Weisbrot
Allow me to read a few verses from the Book of Revelation: “After this I saw a vast crowd, too great to count, from every nation and tribe and people and language, standing in front of the throne and before the Lamb.

Is Matthieu Pageau a Quasi-Gnostic? — Roland Weisbrot
Recently, Matthieu Pageau, brother of the Eastern Orthodox artist, writer, and public speaker, Jonathan Pageau, was interviewed on Jordan Peterson’s podcast about his 2018 book, The Language of Creation: Cosmic Symbolism in Genesis. According to Matthieu, the goal of his self-published commentary was to attempt “to interpret the Bible from its own cosmological perspective.”[1] To […] … Continue reading Is Matthieu Pageau a Quasi-Gnostic? — Roland Weisbrot
A Lutheran View of Personal Holiness — Roland Weisbrot
There can be no argument that Scriptures call believers in Christ to a very high moral standard of personal conduct, as the Apostle Paul writes in Titus 2:11-13 “for the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all, training us to renounce impiety and worldly passions, and in the present age to live lives […]A … Continue reading A Lutheran View of Personal Holiness — Roland Weisbrot
An Easter of Our Own — Roland Weisbrot
It is no secret that what Christians celebrate on Easter — the glorious resurrection of Jesus Christ on the third day from the tomb He was laid in after being crucified — is the very central claim of our faith and the bedrock upon which it is built. As the Apostle Paul testified in 1 […]An … Continue reading An Easter of Our Own — Roland Weisbrot
Sermon: God our Rock in Times of Trouble — Roland Weisbrot

Sermon: On the Certain Hope of the Resurrection — Roland Weisbrot
I begin today by asking the same question the Apostle Paul posited to the Corinthians nearly 2000 years ago: “But tell me this—since we preach that Christ rose from the dead, why are some of you saying there will be no resurrection of the dead” (v. 12)? At the very center of the Christian Gospel, […]Sermon: … Continue reading Sermon: On the Certain Hope of the Resurrection — Roland Weisbrot
“My Lord and my God!” — Roland Weisbrot
In the 2012 Avengers movie, the Norse trickster god Loki, after stealing valuable minerals from a German research facility, encounters a crowd, overwhelms them in a display of power, and asserts the following: “Kneel before me. I said… KNEEL! Is not this simpler? Is this not your natural state? It’s the unspoken truth of humanity […]“My … Continue reading “My Lord and my God!” — Roland Weisbrot
