Sermon audio from Mount Olive Lutheran Church (Missouri-Synod), located in Newton, North Carolina. Mount Olive Lutheran Church is a member congregation of the Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod and was established in 1895 and clings to historic Lutheran doctrine and practice. Our services are liturgical, traditional and centered on Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world. Hymns and liturgies from The Lutheran Service Book (LSB) direct us every Sunday to the Triune God's grace and forgiveness that He freely extends us for Jesus' sake. Sermons are oriented around a clear proclamation of Law and Gospel, proclaiming our Savior's gracious work on behalf of sinners, and calling them to repentance and faith.
