Sermon

First lesson – Ezra 3:10-13 Gospel lesson – Matthew 5:14-16 In this sermon, we will examine the destruction of Jerusalem in the 6th century BC, and the subsequent rebuilding of that great city set on a hill. We will be looking at Old Testament history from the books of Ezra and Nehemiah. We will relate that to Jesus’ first century instructions in the Sermon on the Mount. And we will discuss the concrete lessons in all this for Faith Lutheran in 2017. So this is a message that stretches across the ages.
