The Best Sermon You Ever Heard/Read

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

I am considering embarking on a project that will require many example sermons. Please send me the manuscript or a link to a manuscript or the bibliographic data for the single best sermon you have ever heard or read in English or in translation to English. Please limit yourself to 1. Perhaps there will be a second round, but for now I want you to try and figure out the best sermon you can. Another thing: I already have Chyrsostom’s Easter sermon. Don’t send that. What does this mean? If means that if you’re a son of Rolf Preus, you should not tell me to read every sermon on his webpage because they’re all the best. Same thing for the Nagelites and Gerhard devotees and whatever other fanboys we have out there. I want Rolf Preus sermons and Nagel sermons and Luther semons and all the rest, but I also want their fans to do so me work for me so that we can distill things down to truly excellent examples.

Thanks!

Rev. David H. Petersen prdhpetersen@gmail.com
