  • Strength In The Soil

    Contributed on Feb 8, 2026
     | 63 views

    Strength in the Soil. This morning, we look at St. Paul shows his weaknesses as an opportunity for Christ's Strength, and how it reflects into the Parable of the Sower.

    Good MORNING. We’re looking this morning at the call to share God’s Word, as well as show his Love in works of mercy, as found in our Gospel, and our epistle this morning. It would really warm a pastor’s heart if you remember some of Paul’s problems with the Corinthians that led to 2nd Corinthians, ...read more

    This morning we look at how St. Paul calls us to run the race with eternal purpose, drawing lessons from the Ancient games of Corinth.

    Running for What Lasts GOOD MORNING. We have a great Gospel lesson this morning. But I spent a whole hour on very recently at our Wednesday Night Bible Study. However, there are two things I want to grab from it before we jump to our Epistle lesson this morning. First, the parable’s main point is ...read more

  • The Wedding Feast

    At the wedding in Cana, Jesus turns water into wine—and shows us how God transforms emptiness into joy. When the wine of life runs out, faith begins with obedience, and what God gives next is always better than before.

    Wedding Feast Epiphany Season is an opportunity to reflect on the glory our savior reveals to the world not only in the Incarnation at Christmas, but in His whole life and ministry. Each of our reading in this Epiphany season is about that same shining forth, the revelation of God’s glory in ...read more

  • Living Sacrifices

    Paul reminds us that the Christian life is a full-life response to God’s mercy, calling us to present ourselves as living sacrifices to Him. True worship means daily renewal, humility, and unity within the Body of Christ.

    Living Sacrifices We began our epistle lesson with a “therefore,” and if you’ve been in church long enough, you probably have heard the therefore lesson. It comes up a lot in Paul’s epistles. Whenever there is a Therefore, you have to find out what came before the lesson, because the Therefore is ...read more

  • Hearing And Responding To God's Word

    Contributed on Jan 4, 2026
     | 101 views

    When God’s Word is heard, it always calls for a response. Today we look at how true worship begins when we let Scripture convict, change, and fill us with the joy of God’s mercy.

    Good morning. We have two readings today that describe a gathering of God’s people around reading His Word, they’re read together this Sunday to give us a nice Biblical compare/contrast on how to react when you hear God’s word, and especially when it is convicting. It’s also opportunity to reflect ...read more
