Best Immanuel LCMS Podcasts (2025)

A group of religious elites tries to trap Jesus with a clever, impossible question about marriage and the afterlife. But what begins as a test turns into a revelation. With calm authority, Jesus exposes their unbelief, shatters their logic, and unveils a truth far greater than they imagined — that death is not the end, and life in God is eternal. W…

A stunning vision from Revelation comes to life: ordinary, suffering believers are transformed into radiant saints, standing in joy before the Lamb.

"The Truth Hurts…Before It Frees" - Reverend VanOsdol 11:35

17d ago11:35

11:35

On this Reformation Sunday, we’re reminded that the truth of Jesus doesn’t just comfort—it confronts. In this powerful message, we hear how Christ’s words, “You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free,” still cut to the heart of our pride and self-righteousness today. Before the truth frees us, it humbles us. Before it heals, it wounds…

"Faces of Faith" - Reverend VanOsdol 12:46

12:46

This sermon reflects on the story of Jacob wrestling with God and what it reveals about faith, persistence, and God’s grace. Through both Jacob’s struggle and Jesus’ parable of the persistent widow, we’re reminded that faith doesn’t always look neat — sometimes it’s holding on, even in weakness, trusting that God will keep His promises. Immanuel, G…

In this message on Ruth and the grace of God, we’re reminded that none of us earn our place in God’s family — it’s all by His mercy. Through Ruth, a Moabite woman who by law should have been excluded from God’s people, we see the power of divine grace breaking every boundary. Even when life feels bitter or hopeless, God’s grace proves stronger than…

In a world overwhelmed by evil, uncertainty, and waiting, the prophet Habakkuk becomes an unexpected hero—not for his bold complaints or quiet patience, but for his unshakable faith.

In a world that values shrewdness, planning, and worldly success, we are reminded of a different kind of wisdom.

On the Sabbath, a man suffering from a life-threatening illness stands before a crowd more concerned with rules than mercy. When Jesus is invited to dinner by those seeking to trap Him, He turns the moment into a powerful lesson on healing, humility, and the true meaning of honor in God’s kingdom.

Pastor VanOsdol’s sermon from Hebrews reminded us that worship isn’t about what we give to God, but what He gives to us. When we gather, we come to Mount Zion—God’s city—joining angels, saints, and Christ Himself, receiving forgiveness and life through His blood. Worship is heaven meeting earth. Immanuel, God with us, serving our neighbor and one a…

"Peace with God, Division in the World" - Reverend VanOsdol 13:18

3M ago13:18

13:18

Jesus didn’t come to bring peace on earth—He came to bring division! That’s a challenging truth when we expect Him to unite families and bring harmony. But Jesus is clear: following Him often means conflict, even within our own homes. The story of Munira, a young woman persecuted for her faith in Tajikistan, shows the real cost of discipleship. It’…
