Sermon: Paper, Scissors, Rock/ Text: John 6:63/ Preaching Date: 23/8/09, Pentecost 12 Proper 16(Year B)/ Location: Katanning-Narrogin Parish Service, at Wagin, Western Australia
Focus: To see who goes first, to see who gets the best, kids can play “Paper, Scissors, Rock”. Unfortunately many grow into adults thinking they can juggle another three things to make themselves strong, namely popularity, wealth, and time. But in reality we have no control over any of these let alone ourselves. Even those who have popularity find themselves lonely, the wealthy fine themselves poor, and those seeking time never have enough. We are therefore called not to trust the flesh or anything that perishes, rather we are called to trust in Jesus Chirst. From whom we receive the Spirit and life! Grace Mercy & Peace. Friarpuk

Sermon: Shaken not Stirred/ Text:Ephesians 4:25-5:2/ Preaching Date: 09/8/09, Pentecost 10 Proper 14 (Year B)/ Location: St Stephen’s Lutheran Church, Katanning, Western Australia
Focus: Many people inside and outside the church believe it’s a sin if Christians get angry. But we’re told in Scripture, in our anger do not sin. So we can be angry without actually sinning. The question we must ask ourselves in determining what our anger is actually doing is this: Is our anger glorifying God or someone/thing else? Hear more below… Grace Mercy & Peace. Friarpuk

Sermon: Eat your Cake and have it too/ Text: John 6:27/ Preaching Date: 02/8/09, Pentecost 9 Proper 13 (Year B)/ Location: Trinity Lutheran Church, Narrogin, Western Australia
Focus: When we desire something it can lead us to covet with our minds and hearts, and sometimes it leads to sin with our mouths and actions. King David desired Bathsheba and it led him to falling deep into sin. When our desires are fulfilled, the feelings associated with the desire disappear along with the yearning desire. In this way one can’t eat their cake and have it too. The desire just doesn’t stick around. But when we desire Christ and are satisfied, we can eat this “Divine Cake” of desire and still continue to have it. Such is the eternal nature of God given desires of faith and hope, and their fulfilment in eternal love. Grace Mercy & Peace. Friarpuk
