Series 2: Sermons, 1972-2008

The second series contains the text of Luiken's sermons, the vast majority of which were delivered at Faith Evangelical Free Church in Grand Forks. Documentation for each sermon usually consists of the sermon text, the sermon outline, and the church bulletin for that service.

Reverend Luiken maintained two indices of his sermons, one on notecards and the other on 8.5x11” paper. Both indices were indexed by bible verse and subject. In some cases, Luiken indicated when a sermon was delivered twice, whether at Faith Evangelical Free Church or somewhere else.
