Good Sermon, Pastor
Rev. Jim Plocher of Burlington, Iowa, graciously allowed me to share his Pentecost sermon with you. It is an example of a sermon in the Lutheran church (as opposed to a homily--notice the focus and study on one reading--the Acts reading--for that Sunday. A homily will dwell on the theme of the readings for that Sunday). In addition to being an example of a Lutheran sermon, Rev. Plocher used this opportunity to teach his congregation on what makes a good sermon.
