Unfortunately, I have never heard any LCMS pastor in any church I have attended over many years even once mention the work of the Holy Spirit in sanctification. There may be a distinctly Lutheran view, but few Lutherans in the pews are properly taught about it. Your summary was excellent. How I wish many pastors would engage in solid preaching instead of going for the 10 minute monologue with a joke or two thrown in. It is my opinion that good preaching is not given the priority it deserves.
