Sermon: Proper 24C (Epistle)
20 October AD 2013
Pentecost 22
Title: Ointment for Itching Ears (MP3 Audio)
Summary: Variety may be the spice of life but novelty can be the death of Christian faith. In a world where change seems to be the only constant, the unchanging Word of God, suitable for all holy purposes, provides the one absolute guarantee of being right with God, prepared for earthly life, and certain of life everlasting.
Text: But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it and how from childhood you have been acquainted with the sacred writings, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.
All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.
I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom: preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching.
For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths.
As for you, always be sober-minded, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, fulfill your ministry. 2 Timothy 3:14-4:5

Audio: Click to hear the MP3 of Ointment for Itching Ears, preached to the saints at Bethlehem Lutheran Church, Warrensburg, Missouri.
NB: For some reason, a few people have had problems trying to play the inline audio if Windows Media is their default MP3 player. If this occurs, you can either change to QuickTime or another default browser player, copy and paste the link directly into a selected player, or download it to your computer, where it seems to work regardless of which player. Several folks have suggested VLC Player from VideoLAN.
Other Readings: Psalm 121; Genesis 32:22-30; Luke 18:1-8
