Sermon of the WeekChrist Came to Destroy

Here's Doug VanderMuelen of Community Baptist Church of Fargo, ND preaching in his effective and disarming mixture of gentleness and authority. For a Baptist, he has a curiously Lutheran emphasis on some things. He certainly quotes Luther a fair bit. In fact, he is one of the first ministers I personally heard balancing law and gospel in a way I later discovered to be quite Lutheran in its emphasis.

This is his text - give him a listen.


1John 3:8 Whoever makes a practice of sinning is of the devil, for the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil.
