Ex JW here. Sermon not read. I have been a speaker. All "sermons" are provided an outline, or source material from WT Publications. The speaker then speaks extemporaneously from this outline, or using this source material. Especially on Sunday.. if you deviate from the outline too much, expect a chat with the elders after the meeting. Unity very much enforced.. but its even worse than reading, because they are commelling you to put the information into yoyr own words in a way that they would approve
I respect your teaching on what you are teaching but the Lord has something against you: You are under a denomination . A sect, like the JW for example, you are taking away his name ”Jesus” and instead you are putting your denomination before him, Lutheranism. Faith in Christ, not in Lutheranism. He is your Rock. He is going to do away with Demonstrations. For they take away his NAME! REPENT and turn away.
Everything Lutherans believe comes from the Bible, God's message of love and hope for all people. The Bible is the written Word of God, handed down to us in order to point us to the truth that we are saved from our sin and eternal death by the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. We believe that the Bible is completely reliable and without error. In it we learn everything we need to know about God's love and His gifts to us. Lutheran is a name given to us by our Roman papal opponents. Historically we are called the Evangelisch (Evangelical) the Gospel centered catholic Church.
