Honest to God

  • Oct 23, 2022
  • 1995-11-12
  • SERMONS
This is a sermon that was printed and highlighted, and preached in 1995. There are red X marks next to two paragraphs in this sermon, so it is possible that those paragraphs were ommitted from the sermon when it was preached. There are also a few handwritten corrections. It was preached at Emmanuel Lutheran Church in Seymour, WI, as the church is mentioned by name in the sermon.

Prayer Is Friend Talk

  • Oct 12, 2022
  • 19XX
  • SERMONS
This is an undated, typed sermon with a handwritten closing, as well as some handwritten corrections. I’m going to guess this as coming from 1973? It was originally listed as being from Trinity XXI, but that was crossed out and 22 Pentecost C was written over it. Technically, Luke 18 is now a part of 19 Pent C in the RCL.
