Can You Die in Peace? | Christ For YouText: Luke 2:22–40 | Christmas 1 & The Baptism of Luke PirinoSimeon holds a forty-day-old baby and says something outrageous: “Now I can die in peace.” Why? Because salvation isn't an idea or a feeling. Salvation has a face. Salvation is a Person. And Simeon is holding Him.On Christmas 1, we see what Christmas really means: God puts salvation into a baby, small enough to be held and strong enough to hold you forever. And in Holy Baptism, that same Savior comes to you personally, by name, with forgiveness, the Holy Spirit, and a future that ends in life.If you fear death, if your conscience accuses you, if you find yourself doing spiritual math, this sermon is for you. You don't depart in peace because you got your life together. You depart in peace because Christ got you.Subscribe & Share:Apple Podcasts: Christ For YouSpotify: Christ For YouPortuguês: Cristo Para VocêWebsite: ZionWG.org

What's The Most Christmassy Event? | Christ For YouText: Matthew 2:13-18 | Holy Innocents 2025Why would the Church make you hear about Herod's slaughter right in the middle of Christmas? Why put blood on the floor while the lights are still up and the hymns are still sweet? What if this “least Christmassy” text actually tells you what Christmas really is?Christmas does not happen in a safe world. It happens in this one. God moved in. The Son of God entered enemy territory in real flesh and blood, and the world greeted Him with a sword. And Herod is not just an “out there” problem. He exposes the crown we try to keep on our own heads.But this sermon does not leave you in the darkness. Jesus came to take the world's hatred into His own body, to atone for your sin, and to break death's teeth. Herod doesn't get to keep those children. The devil doesn't get to keep what he takes. The grave doesn't get the final word. As this year closes and a new one begins, you do not know what evils you will see, but you do know who reigns, and you do know where your future is.Subscribe & Share:Apple Podcasts: Christ For YouSpotify: Christ For YouPortuguês: Cristo Para VocêWebsite: ZionWG.orgContact: PastorRojas@ZionWG.org

What Do You Really Need This Christmas? | Christ For YouText: Luke 2:15-20| Christmas DayWhy does Christmas sometimes feel useless? Why can the day be beautiful, and yet nothing in your life actually changes? The pain is still there. The loneliness is still there. The guilt is still there. And church can start to feel like a strange little ritual that doesn't touch the real problems.But underneath that frustration sits a deeper lie: that your biggest problem is your situation. If the money came, if the marriage improved, if the grief lifted, then you'd finally be okay. Scripture says your biggest problem is not around you. It's in you: sin, a haunted conscience, and the death that follows.So God does not give you what you think you need. He gives you what you actually need. He gives you Himself. The Baby in the manger is the Man on the cross, and the Man on the cross is the Lord who forgives you day after day. Christmas is not God offering advice or upgrades. Christmas is God coming near, in real flesh and blood, to save you.If you feel empty, disappointed, or even numb this Christmas, this sermon is for you.Subscribe & Share:Apple Podcasts: Christ For YouSpotify: Christ For YouPortuguês: Cristo Para VocêWebsite: ZionWG.orgContact: PastorRojas@ZionWG.org

Why Does Christmas Hurt Sometimes? | Christ For YouText: Revelation 21:3-5 | Christmas EveWhy do we start Christmas so early? Why do the lights and music feel like a lifeline, especially when life has felt heavy? Under the nostalgia sits a real ache: we want to hold onto joy, rewind time, and get back what we can't get back.But Christmas is not a mood we manufacture. It's not a memory we chase. It's God stepping into our darkness in real flesh and blood. The eternal Son of God does not wait for you to get yourself together. He comes to you in a manger, and He comes to you even now with mercy that does not fade when the season ends.If you feel the joy of Christmas and also the grief underneath it, this sermon is for you.Subscribe & Share:Apple Podcasts: Christ For YouSpotify: Christ For YouPortuguês: Cristo Para VocêWebsite: ZionWG.orgContact: PastorRojas@ZionWG.org

How Can I Have Comfort When I Still Feel Guilty? | Christ For YouText: Isaiah 40:1–8 | Fourth Sunday in AdventAdvent says, “Get ready. The Lord is coming.” But what happens when you don't feel ready? What happens when your conscience starts shaking because you know you're guilty? And what do you do when guilt won't shut up and you start to fear that God is angry with you?In this sermon from Isaiah 40, God speaks to a trembling conscience with a verdict, not advice: “Comfort, comfort My people… her warfare is ended… her iniquity is pardoned.” This is not sentimental comfort. It's courtroom comfort. The war between God and sinners ends because God Himself comes near to pardon the guilty.Learn why comfort is not first a feeling but God's objective Word of forgiveness, why your conscience can lag behind the Gospel, and how God anchors your peace outside of you in what does not wither or fade: His enduring Word, delivered to you in Baptism and the Lord's Supper.Subscribe & Share:Apple Podcasts: Christ For YouSpotify: Christ For YouWebsite: ZionWG.orgContact:PastorRojas@ZionWG.org

Is Christianity a New Religion? | Christ For YouText: Luke 2:36–38 | Midweek Advent 3Did Christians make Christmas up? Is it only a New Testament idea? Did the Church turn Jesus into a legend and force the Old Testament to fit Him? Is Christianity a new religion? Modern skepticism says the Incarnation is a later invention. Scripture says something very different.In this sermon, you learn of Anna. Forgotten by history, overlooked in the Nativity, yet standing right in the center of God's plan. Anna waited for redemption her entire life—not because she imagined it, but because Scripture promised it. She didn't twist the Bible to fit Jesus. She recognized Jesus because the Bible had prepared her for Him.Anna's witness dismantles the myth that Christmas was constructed by Christians. Before creeds, councils, or theologians ever existed, she saw God in the flesh and told everyone who would listen. Christmas wasn't invented. It was fulfilled.Learn how the Incarnation anchors your faith in reality, how fulfilled prophecy gives you confidence in every promise of God, and how the Christ Anna met is the same Christ who meets you now, in flesh and blood, for your salvation.Subscribe & Share:Apple Podcasts: Christ For YouSpotify: Christ For YouWebsite: ZionWG.orgContact:PastorRojas@ZionWG.org

What Happens When I Start to Doubt? | Christ For YouText: Matthew 11:2–11 | Third Sunday in Advent (Gaudete)What do you do when faith feels weak and God feels distant?What happens when prayers go unanswered and nothing in your life seems to change? Does doubt mean something is wrong with your faith—or is something else happening?From a prison cell, John the Baptist asks Jesus the unthinkable: “Are You the One, or should we look for another?” This sermon confronts the dangerous idea that real Christians never doubt and shows why even the strongest believers need to hear the Gospel again and again. Doubt is not cured by distance, memory, or willpower—it is answered by Christ's Word.When circumstances don't change, Jesus doesn't give explanations or fixes. He gives a promise. And that promise is enough.If even John the Baptist needed Christ preached into his doubt, what does that say about you?Subscribe & Share:Apple Podcasts: Christ For YouSpotify: Christ For YouWebsite: ZionWG.orgContact:PastorRojas@ZionWG.org

What Changes When You Know the End? | Christ For YouText: Luke 21:25–36 | Second Sunday in AdventWhy does Jesus tell you exactly how the world will end?Why describe the heavens shaking, nations collapsing, and people fainting—only to tell His disciples, “Lift up your heads”?This sermon presses into the mystery: knowing the end changes everything. When the world panics, believers look up. When creation collapses, Redemption arrives. The Judge who terrifies the nations is the same Savior who died for you.If you have nothing to fear on the worst day in human history, what do you have to fear on any other day?Subscribe & Share:Apple Podcasts: Christ For YouSpotify: Christ For YouWebsite: ZionWG.orgContact:PastorRojas@ZionWG.org

What Evidence Do We Have For The Virgin Birth? | Christ For YouText: Matthew 1:18–25 | Advent MidweekHow do you know the Virgin Birth actually happened?Why should anyone believe the Incarnation is real?This sermon turns to Joseph—the first man forced to confront that miracle. He knew Mary was pregnant. He knew he wasn't the father. By every measure of human reason, he should have walked away. But he didn't.God shattered Joseph's doubt with His Word, and Joseph's costly obedience becomes powerful evidence that something supernatural happened. His decision is not sentimental. It is historical testimony. It tells you that the Child in Mary's womb is God in the flesh, born for your salvation.In this message, you'll hear why Joseph's obedience strengthens your confidence in the Creed and why the miracle you confess every Sunday is the foundation of the Gospel itself. Christmas is not a story. It's history. It's for you.Subscribe & Share:Apple Podcasts: Christ For YouSpotify: Christ For YouWebsite: ZionWG.orgSupport Zion:Support Zion Evangelical Lutheran ChurchFind a Church:Find A Confessional Lutheran ChurchContact:PastorRojas@ZionWG.org

Won't Heaven Be Boring? | Christ For YouText: Isaiah 65 | The Last Sunday of the Church Year & Baptism of Shawnee SinexIs Heaven actually going to be…boring?What if a world without sin sounds dull to you?What if the life to come feels less real than this one?Most Christians have asked these questions silently, even if they've never said them aloud. This sermon confronts that fear head-on and exposes the hidden lie beneath it: that sin is what makes life interesting, meaningful, or worth living. Isaiah 65 tears that lie apart and reveals the world God is actually preparing—a world so beautiful, so alive, so overflowing with joy that we can't even imagine it.In this message, you'll see how sin numbs the heart, how Christ restores it, and how Baptism gives you the very future God promises. You'll hear why the most meaningful moments of your life were never born of sin, but glimpses of the new creation Jesus died to give you. And you'll learn why, on the Last Day, you will never ask, “Is eternal life boring?”You will say, “This is the life I was made for.”Subscribe & Share:Apple Podcasts: Christ For YouSpotify: Christ For YouWebsite: ZionWG.orgIf this sermon strengthened your faith, share it with others and leave a review.

How Will God Judge You On The Last Day? | Christ For YouText: Matthew 25:31–46 | Trinity 26If the sky split open five minutes from now and you found yourself standing before God Himself, what would you expect Him to say? This message confronts one of the most unsettling and unavoidable questions of the Christian life: What happens when you stand before the judgment throne of God?Matthew 25 describes the final division of humanity—sheep and goats, blessed and condemned, life and fire. At first glance, this judgment according to works can terrify even the strongest Christian. But look closer. Jesus reveals something breathtaking.This sermon reveals the ttrue nature of the Last Day, exposes the collapse of self-righteousness, and proclaims the comfort that the One who will judge you is the same One who already stood in your place, bore your sin, and declared your verdict.

Why Is There Something Rather Than Nothing? | Christ For YouText: Genesis 1:1 | Trinity 21Description: Why does anything exist at all? Why is there something rather than nothing? Learn about the most profound question of human existence—and learn that the answer is not found in chance or chaos, but in the eternal love of God. Before God ever said, “Let there be light,” He already saw the cross. He knew the cost of creation, the rebellion of humanity, and the agony that would come—and He still chose to make you.This message walks through what life looks like without God. And it exposes the collapse of atheistic meaning, the tragedy of living as if God didn't exist, and the breathtaking truth that the Creator who spoke the universe into being also shed His blood to redeem it.Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: Christ For You Spotify: Listen on Spotify Website: ZionWG.org/podcastStay Connected: Email: PastorRojas@ZionWG.org Website: ZionWG.orgIf this sermon strengthened your faith, share it with others and leave a review.

What truth is worth dying for? This Reformation confronts the comfortable Christianity of our age with the unshakable confession of the martyrs and Reformers.

And what kind of Gospel gives courage strong enough to sing while dying?Learn about the Savior who suffered all, even death, rather than fall away from you.
