  • Showing John The Baptist The Gospel

    Contributed by Michael Blitz on Dec 14, 2024
     | 101 views

    For the Third Sunday in Advent, we look at John the Baptist in Jail, stuck in depression and questioning God. His search for who the Messiah is supposed to be helps us to see clearly who God is, and how He works in our lives.

    Showing John the Baptist the Gospel Good Morning. We live by expectations, and that’s not necessarily bad. When we go to bed at night, we expect the alarm to work. We expect others to stop at stop signs. In fact, we have a lot of expectations about how others should act. Our days are full of ...read more

  • Overflowing With Hope From God's Word

    Contributed by Michael Blitz on Dec 10, 2024
     | 34 views

    For the Second Sunday in Advent, also known as Bible Sunday, we look at the Good News, how we should seek to be overflowing in it, and how we should be spreading it. 

    Good Morning. In addition to our focus on Peace this morning, and the peace which brings Good News on the mountain tops, as Isaiah says, actually equipping YOU to be the voice of peace on the mountain tops to be clear, the Second Sunday in Advent is also known as Bible Sunday. I’m going to try to ...read more

  • Forgive Us Our Debts As...

    Contributed by Michael Blitz on Oct 27, 2024
     | 157 views

    This Morning we look at Jesus teaching about the importance of forgiving others as we are forgiven.

    Forgiveness is easy to talk and read about in the Bible. It’s when we have to put it into practice that it can be tough! Forgiveness is wonderful idea, until there’s something to forgive. At a New Year’s party in 1982, Kevin Tunell got very drunk; his friends urged him not to drive but he insisted. ...read more

  • Candyman Or Doctor? Who Are You Looking For?

    Contributed by Michael Blitz on Oct 20, 2024
     | 148 views

    Jesus travels to Galilee and is greeted enthusiastically. However the Greeting is only with the hope of a great show, as those who he comes to preach to only want to see signs and wonders, and not the Savior from Sin.

    The Doctor or the Candyman I was listening to someone talk about elections and democracy, and he dug up a great quote from the past. And by the past, I mean like 2500 years ago. Ancient Athens was the first democracy we know of, and Socrates, the smartest man of his time, hated the idea. This was ...read more

  • Putting Off The Old Man

    Contributed by Michael Blitz on Oct 5, 2024
     | 353 views

    We look at our lesson from Ephesians 4 in light of Jesus healing the paralytic. The first half of Ephesians shows how we have our sins forgiven, then Paul teaches us how to walk as a Christian. When our sins are forgiven, we can walk.

    Putting Off The Old Man Thank you to John Campbell for the Outline. In today’s Gospel Lesson from Matthew 9, Jesus tells a paralytic that his sins are forgiven. This, of course, shocks everyone. And it really should shock us. The interesting thing is how the paralytic’s friends are shocked more ...read more

  • Both Saint And A Sinner

    Contributed by Michael Blitz on Sep 30, 2024
     | 206 views

    In the beginning of Paul's First Epistle to the Corinthians, Paul refers to these quarrelsome and divisive members of the Church of Corinth as "Saints." Can I be both Just and a Sinner, at the same time?

    Thank you to Tullian Tchividjian, a Lutheran pastor from whom much of the message theme is borrowed. There’s something wonderful our Epistle lesson today that can be overlooked, in that Paul calls the Christians living in Corinth “saints.” In fact, “Saint” is a term he uses to describe all of us ...read more

  • How Many Roads Can A Man Walk Up?

    Contributed by Michael Blitz on Sep 22, 2024
     | 259 views

    Hinduism, Sikh, Islam and Christianity. Are these all just different ways to get to God? How do we get to God? This morning, we look at what God's Word has to say on the topic, and what Jesus means when He says, I am the Way, the Truth, and the Light.

    . I rarely go off our lessons and get distracted by Current Events when it comes to my preaching. However, something happened this week which I thought really gives us the opportunity to discuss something very basic but essential about our Christian faith. And let me say, I welcome your discussion ...read more

  • Ten Healed, One Saved

    Contributed by Michael Blitz on Sep 2, 2024
     | 722 views

    Jesus healed ten lepers, and here we look at the difference between the 9 who valued their healing, and the one who valued the healer.

    Good Morning. A thought came to me as I was reviewing the lessons this week. Will there be pain in heaven? If you do a Bible search, you find that Revelation 21:4 which tells us NO! We could end it there, but closer inspection of that verse says that that reference is about emotional pain, since it ...read more

  • Little Epiphany

    Contributed by Michael Blitz on Aug 17, 2024
     | 207 views

    The Glory of God is shown both in the Old, and even greater in the New Covenant. Paul shows us how Christ is Greater than Moses.

    Good Morning. We have a Harder Theme today. One of the very different ways people wrote and communicated at the time the Bible was put together was their emphasis on imagery. The stress of imagery was to help you to remember in a time when actual writings were scarce. Now, a lot more people could ...read more

  • Pharisee And Tax Collector

    Contributed by Michael Blitz on Aug 10, 2024
     | 396 views

    Dealing with pride in the parable.

    Good Morning. Today, we get one of the hardest subjects to talk about, and that is Pride. No one really wants to examine themselves for the amount of pride they have, although pretty much everyone is expert in examining others. To begin, I’ll share a quote from CS Lewis. (he says it better than ...read more

  • Wrestling With Sanctification

    Contributed by Michael Blitz on Jul 21, 2024
     | 289 views

    The life of Jacob is a wonderful story which shows us the struggle in this world we go through as we wrestle with trusting in God as He converts our lives from where we were, to where He is taking us.

    Good Morning. Last week, we focused on the Gospel, becoming a Christian, and Romans 6:23 which says that “The Wages of Sin is Death, but the Free Gift... This week we move to what comes next, changing our life having become believers, which is displayed wonderfully in the story of Jacob in Genesis. ...read more

  • Jehovah Jireh, My Provider

    Contributed by Michael Blitz on Jun 16, 2024
     | 347 views

    Today we look at the story of Genesis 22, and God's call to Abraham to sacrifice Isaac at Mt. Moriah. To fully understand the story, we need to look deep into Abraham's life, and see how God kept all His promises to Abraham, so we can see how he keeps His promises to us.

    Jehovah Jireh, My Provider Good Morning. And a Happy Father’s Day. Today, we revisit Genesis 22, which, I will grant, that on the surface, seems to be a horrible Father’s Day reading. I skimmed through it 3 months ago in relation to Jesus comments about taking up His Cross. Today, we’ll look at ...read more

  • The King And I

    Contributed by Michael Blitz on May 25, 2024
     | 330 views

    Isaiah comes before the King, and sees His Holiness

    There are certain life and history events that stick out, just by mentioning a year. It’s Memorial day, so if I say 1941, I would think about half of you would know the DATE that will live in infamy, December 7 - the bombing of Pearl Harbor. I don’t do this often, but let me impress my boys. For ...read more

  • Putting Jesus First Isn't Easy. Series

    Martha's jealousy and anger drove her to the point where she was literally yelling at the Lord, and bossing him around. How did she get to this point? What is the point of service to God, family and church, and what can get in our way?

    Good Morning. I got a fun story to start with as we dig into the story of Mary and Martha. It took place in 1956, and Tom Attridge was test piloting the brand new jet they wanted to use for the famous Blue Angels. Gunning it up to break the sound barrier, he was instructed to test fire his guns at ...read more

  • Why Jesus Left Series

    Contributed by Michael Blitz on Apr 28, 2024
     | 507 views

    Jesus Says it is better for Him to go and to send the Holy Spirit. That may not make sense, so let's dig into John 16 and see why!

    Why Jesus Left Good Morning. This Morning’s Gospel text is from the same chapter we read from in John last week, John 16, and it does make a nice Part II to what we read. So, let’s review a couple of things from last week. 1. It comes from a part of the Gospel of John I figuratively called Jesus ...read more
