Sermons Out of Rural Ministry
Dynamic, contextual sermons from Pastor Josh Ehrler, who serves a small town ELCA Lutheran congregation in Northern Illinois. Sermons are rooted in scripture and reflect the local community, as well as the movements of the wider world. He and his congregation are affirming of LGBTQ+ personhood and live out their baptismal promise to seek (racial, economic, identity, environmental) justice and peace.

The reading the week of August 25 2024 closes a three part series on the letter to the Ephesians that sends us to the cosmos. We humans do like a good argument, and our reading with all of its military lingo could be used as a defense for picking a fight. But, the fight is not with other humans. The battles we wage every day are eternal. They go all the way to Creation. How can we possibly gear up for that? #sermon
