About this episode

Pastor Matt explores the meaning of 'God's Word' in Lutheran theology through the story of two disciples encountering the resurrected Jesus.

Text: Luke 24:13-35 Series: Jump in the River! In Christian circles you often hear the phrase "God's Word" thrown around. But what exactly do we mean by it? Pastor Matt's answer in this sermon may surprise you, because as Lutherans we think of it a bit differently than some. As we reflect on the story of two disciples encountering the resurrected Jesus on the road, we recognize how we too encounter the Word of God, made flesh, every Sunday in worship.
