Volume 3: Pentecost to Michaelmas
Description: This collection contains sermons of C.F.W. Walther, the first president of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod, for Pentecost and the season that follows. As the readings for this part of the church year involve the life of the Church militant on earth, these sermons contain topics of vital interest to the church, including the necessity of faith and the institution of the Office of Preaching. Note well the Sermon for the Feast of Trinity, where Walther speaks of the necessity of being born again, of God's desiring this for every human being, and what it means to have received the second birth. A number of Pentecost sermons re-emphasizes that feast whose true blessings are often lost for the sake of 'secondary benefits' of what Walther can call the 'feast of feasts.' Walther's emphasis is valuable to the church of today. ISBN: 978-0-9822523-1-4 166 pages. Soft cover 6 x 9" format. Cost: $13.75 |
Volume 4: Reformation/Luther
