Sermons to Go! 

June 22, 2022 by SW MN Synod

Summer is a wonderful time for rostered ministers and lay leaders to grab some precious weeks away. So synod staff asked leaders if they would find it helpful to have some recorded sermons available for use any time over the course of the summer. You said, “Yes, please!” So we got to work, and here are three of the four sermons.

The following sermons (video and manuscript) are framed around the synod’s identity/mission statement. They include one Scripture text that can serve as the reading for the day. The bulletins and hymn suggestions are up to you; congregations – please make your own choices for what works in your setting. You may use just one sermon, use them in a series, focus on them for a Bible study group, or use them however your congregation may need them. 

Synod Sermon Series Mission Statement Overview:
God places us in cities, farms and towns together under one prairie sky.
Acts 1: 1-8 – Sermon by Bp. Dee Pederson

The Risen Christ surprises us with opportunities to plant God’s Word in the world.
Acts 16:25-34 – Sermon by Director for Evangelical Mission Rev. Troy Pfilbsen

Walking together in confidence, we cultivate life-giving congregations,
nurture partner ministries, and cooperate in the life of the ELCA.
