The Lutheran Podcast
I'm Rev. Eric Wolf, a pastor, writer, and musician.
I've previously posted almost exclusively sermons, but I'm writing a book called Myth of a Dying Church, and am now also posting episodes about the topics in and related to the book.
I believe strongly that the task of preaching is to engage Scripture as a mirror held up to our lives so that we can confront what we see with integrity. This image we engage helps us to understand what it means to be Children of God; gain perspective of what it means that our primary citizenship and allegiance belongs to God’s Kingdom; and discover how the love of God transforms what we see when we look at ourselves, the people in our lives, and the world that God so loves.

This sermon is different than I planned, it's a more personal reflection on the danger of giving into the idea of a wrathful god when the God who loves us is the true God than I intended originally. What does it look like to reimagine our preconceptions about the "End Times" in light of the long history we have with misunderstanding the Messiah, God's plans for creation, and what it means to be the Church?#elca #scsynod #Advent #apocalypse #endoftheworldasweknowit #ifeelfine
