Martin Luther saw preaching as that time in worship when the promises of God are "poured into our ears" for our life in the world and for our life together as the body of Christ. For Luther, the sermon was in many ways sacramental, that is, Holy time. Come join us in some Holy time by listening to the message from our worship each week.
