The Liberal Arts and the Lifting of Hearts
Presentation by Rev. Jeff Hendrix, given at the 2023 Family Altar Conference: For Altar and For Hearth, by Return to Wittenberg at Faith Lutheran Church, Oregon, WI, May 20, 2023.
The liberal arts, liberal in the classic sense, are meant for freedom. After the Reformation, the Lutheran emphasis on a liberal arts education led to unprecedented social mobility. It was a flourishing of all of society. Rev. Jeff Hendrix makes the case that perhaps this type of education is a remedy for many of our burdens today.

The World Refuses to See | Advent Vespers 3
Sermon on the account of the healing of the man blind from birth in John 9, as part of our "Come and See" Advent series. Jesus invites a man to literally and truly see – both physically and by faith.

Truth Shall Spring Out of the Earth | Advent 3 - Gaudete
Sermon on Psalm 85 for Advent 3, Gaudete Sunday. Jesus, the "Coming One," the Word Incarnate, Truth made Flesh, is located in the most unlikely places.

It means Jesus is not far off from us during trouble, but right here with us.
