And when the Pharisees saw this, they said to his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?” But when he heard it, he said, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. Go and learn what this means, ‘I desire mercy, and not sacrifice.’ For I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.” (Matthew 9:9-13)

Pr. Walt,
I enjoyed this sermon.
You are quite unusual American Lutheran - your sermon is more than 8 minutes long! (LOL) (hehehehawhaw).
It is so refreshing to hear an expositor do Law/ Gospel on you.
Some Lutheran pastors' sermon can be summed up in one line "Jesus died for your sins, bye bye, see you again next sunday, ok"?
Yours is different, there is an actual exposition! Thanks.
