Services and Sermons (Page 8)

Sermons Archive

Are you searching for worship services and sermons with substance? Are you wanting to hear God’s Truth from the Bible? Are you longing to find some Good News that brings hope?

Look through our Services and Sermons Archive, and discover preaching from our pastor, Rev. Chris Ramstad, as the Good News is boldly proclaimed from God’s Holy Word. Hear about God’s Law, that guides our lives and shows us how we all fall short. Listen to the Gospel, which shows us how our God has brought us forgiveness, life, and hope through His Son Jesus Christ. Who is Jesus?

We invite you to join us this Sunday too! Immanuel Lutheran Church has worship services weekly at 8:00 am and 10:30 am, as well as a live stream of each service. Learn more.

NOTE: If this page is not updated and current, do not fear! All of our services and sermons are easy to find on YouTube. Search for “immanuel joplin” then click and scroll through the archive there.
