Welcome to this week's sermon: “The Joy of Heaven” for the Fourteenth Sunday after Pentecost (Proper 19, Series C). In this powerful message, Pastor Balla unpacks Luke 15:1–10, where Jesus shares the parables of the lost sheep and the lost coin. Discover how these parables reveal the heart of God toward sinners, the saving mission of Christ, and the heavenly joy that bursts forth when even one sinner repents.This sermon reminds us of our need for repentance, the danger of pride like the Pharisees, and the true joy found in the forgiveness of sins through Christ alone. Learn how the Good Shepherd seeks the lost, carries them home, and welcomes them to His Table—where heaven itself rejoices and joins us in the feast of His body and blood.If you long to understand repentance, grace, and the joy of heaven more deeply, this sermon will strengthen your faith and point you to Christ's unshakable promises.Support my ministry here: https://buymeacoffee.com/whitegandalphHashtags#Sermon #Luke15 #JoyOfHeaven #ChristianPreaching #LCMS

In this sermon, “From Every Direction They Come” (Luke 13:22–30), Pastor Balla preaches the powerful truth that salvation in Christ is not reserved for a privileged few but is open to repentant sinners from every nation, tribe, and tongue. Jesus warns us to “strive to enter through the narrow door” (Luke 13:24, ESV), reminding us of the urgency of repentance and faith. The narrow door is not closed by God's stinginess but by our sin and pride. Yet in His mercy, Christ Himself has opened that door by His cross and resurrection.This Eleventh Sunday after Pentecost (Proper 16, Series C) sermon proclaims the universality of Christ's saving work, the catholicity of the Church, and the comfort of belonging to God's banquet feast through Word and Sacrament. From east and west, north and south, believers are gathered to recline at the table in the kingdom of God.Whether you are seeking deeper Bible study, Lutheran preaching, or encouragement in your Christian faith, this sermon will strengthen your trust in Christ alone.
