Shepherd Of The Sierra Lutheran Church, Carson City

May 23, 2021 Sermon: Be Filled and On Fire On Pentecost the Holy Spirit came and changed the world! He brought the breath of life and power and will to grow into the people of God! May you be filled with the Holy Spirit and be on fire with the Spirit to share Jesus Christ your Savior to everyone around you! That’s your mission!

May 16, 2021 Sermon: Do You Have Jesus? By faith in Jesus we have everything! The world seems to be living without Him. Our mission and goal needs to be telling what He’s done for us and share that message with everyone we meet!

May 9, 2021 Sermon: Love One Another God calls us to produce much fruit and that fruit is love. Jesus came to us in love and He asks us to love everyone around us. Love like Jesus!

April 25, 2021 Sermon: Jesus Our Good Shepherd Jesus is our Good Shepherd. We need to trust that He is always there for us and will give us everything we need. He protects us as a shepherd protects his sheep.

April 18, 2021 Sermon: It's All About Love Our God loves us so much! He says, “I’ve called you by name. You’re mine!” But now it’s our turn. It’s our turn to not only tell others of His love but to love others the same way we’re loved by Him! His desire is for all to come into His family receiving heaven by faith. That’s true love!

April 11, 2021 Sermon: Just Believe Jesus appeared to his disciples behind locked doors. But Thomas wasn’t with them and didn’t believe them He demanded proof! When he does see Jesus, he declares Jesus is his Lord and God. All God asks of us is to “just believe” that He’s alive and He’s with you always! That’s a great message to realize and share!

April 4, 2021 Sermon: He's Not Here, But Hope Is! When the women went to the tomb that early morning, what they found was nothing like they expected! Jesus wasn’t in the tomb, He had risen! The angel they did meet told them to go and tell the disciples the wonderful news. Even though they were fearful, they knew that they needed to proclaim, “Christ is risen! He is risen indeed!”

March 28, 2021 Sermon: Jesus Is King! Proclaim Him! Jesus has come to Jerusalem, proclaimed as King. Little did the people know how this week would end, but Jesus knew. He knew that He would suffer and die for mankind. As He comes into the city, join the crowd and Proclaim Him as your Savior and King!

March 21, 2021 Sermon: The Trial Before Pilate In order to have Jesus eliminated and put to death, Jesus had to be on trial before the Governor, Pontius Pilate. The church leaders presented their case as strongly as they could, but Pilate still saw Him as innocent. But the leaders convinced the people the only valid judgment would be to crucify Jesus! Pilate sent Him to the cross to suffer and die for us to pay the price of our sin. Because of Jesus, you and I are set free and forgiven. We’re free now and forever!

After celebrating the Last Supper with His disciples, Jesus invites His disciples to join Him while He prays to His Father. Judas betrays Him, He is captured and taken away. In all of it Jesus never loses His temper or gets angry. We need to see in this terrible event that Jesus is willing to do it all just for us! He’s the world’s Savior and also yours!

Jesus and His disciples take a walk from Jerusalem to the Mount of Olives. But as He speaks to them on the mount, He tells them that all of them will desert Him out of fear. This is the same thing that happens to us as we get caught up in the things of the world. We need to rely of His grace, power, and love each day. As we do, we’re able to handle anything that comes because He’s the One in control!

Mary from Bethany showed us what it means to focus on giving rather than getting. She did something absolutely incredible for Jesus. Thanks to Mary, we can boil life down to one simple word that’s life-changing! Be like Mary and Give! Give to God with all your heart with joy!

Today we get to see the glory and majesty of Jesus Christ! He goes to a high mountain with Peter, James, and John and He’s transfigured before them! This shows the power and being of the Son of God. The disciples also here from above, “This is My Son. Listen to Him.” Get caught up in His majesty!

February 7, 2021 Sermon: A Missional Life Jesus came to Earth to suffer and die for our sins and the sins of the whole world, to show His power and care. That was his mission. Live each day sharing Him with everyone around you. That is what a missional life is all about.

January 31, 2021 Sermon: Life Sunday Our God is a God of Life! Every life is precious to Him. Jesus took us from death to life as He died and rose again. What He asks of us is to honor the life He created in everyone. Let’s speak life and cherish it in everyone.

January 24, 2021 Sermon: Get Out Of The Boat Jesus is asking His first disciples to join Him and believe in Him as the Savior. Even though they would be giving up everything to put their total trust in Him! This is the same message He tells us! “Get Out of Your Boat of comfort and security and trust in Me and follow Me immediately!” It’s a big task, but He’s promised He will be with you forever!

January 17, 2021 Sermon: Come, See, and Follow Jesus calls us to come to Him and see Him as our Savior and Lord. As we look at what He’s done for us, and believe it, we can’t stop proclaiming Him as our God and deliverer! Take some time to be in His Word and ask Him to guide you every step of the way as you follow Him with all your heart!

January 10, 2021 Sermon: Jesus Baptized As we see Jesus baptized by John we see our Almighty Triune God in all His grace and forgiveness. Rejoice!
