Martin Luther wrote a collection of sermons to exhort believers with sound doctrine and to convict those that opposed the Word. Most of the sermons were written between 1521 and 1527, and before his death over seventy-five editions of the collection were published. Aside from his catechisms, his sermon collections are considered his most influential writings.
A sampling of his sermons are reproduced here from sources in the public domain. You are welcome to download, use, and share them. Published volumes are widely available and I encourage you to read them!
