In this powerful Lutheran sermon, Pastor Balla proclaims Christ’s urgent call to “read the signs of the times.” From Luke 12:49–56, Jesus rebukes the crowds for their spiritual blindness. They could read the weather, but they missed the greatest sign before them — the Son of God standing in their midst.


This sermon explores three key truths:


  1. The Blindness That Cannot See – How we, like the crowds, often prepare for earthly storms but not for the coming Day of the Lord.
  2. The Savior Who Gives Sight – Christ bears the fire of God’s judgment at the cross to open our eyes by His grace.
  3. The Life of Watchfulness – Living in daily repentance, confidence in Christ’s promises, and readiness for His return.


Whether you are seeking Lutheran preaching, Biblical sermons, confessional teaching, or Gospel-centered messages, this sermon brings the truth of Christ crucified and risen for you.

May the Lord open our eyes to see Him, prepare us for His coming, and keep us steadfast in His Word and Sacraments.
