    Contributed by Scott Jensen on Feb 12, 2024
     | 719 views

    Why do the people in Capernaum seek Jesus? What does the world seek? Why should we seek Jesus?

    What do we seek? Today’s Gospel is set in Capernaum on the day of the Sabbath. Jesus had a support base here with two Disciples, Simon Peter and his brother Andrew, calling this place home. With friends nearby, this city will become Jesus’ Galilean home and the staging point for part of His ...read more

    Being Obedient

    Contributed by Scott Jensen on Aug 16, 2020
     | 4,946 views

    The Israelites grumble again against God. Moses responds to their grumbling with anger and loses the privilege of entering the Promised Land. Moses responded with anger and disrespected God. We can learn a few things form an angry man who lashed out against the Creator.

    Introduction Today’s topic is “Being Obedient” and as I look around our society in this COVID-19 time, I see a lot of people who are challenged with being obedient. Many businesses have signs that say you have to wear a mask to enter, yet many don’t obey that sign. We hear repeatedly that we ...read more

     | 6,038 views

    Sometimes, even faithful people can experience heartache to the point of losing hope. God knows what we're going through and He has a plan for us all.

    Opening and Introduction In our text today, Paul has a summary of one of his travels, and how it affected him. There was a time when things were so bad, that he lost all hope, and despaired of life itself. Despair is one of those words we don’t use every day. We talk about feeling down, sad, or ...read more

    The story of Noah's flood is a familiar one to many of us. It's the story of a big boat and a whole lot of water. But, it's also a story of the character of God and how much He loves us.

    Opening and Introduction Our text today, is the start of a story that many of us have heard from our Sunday School days. It’s the beginning of the Noah’s Ark story. Sin had grown so great, that God decided to start over, erase the world, and begin again. It’s a story of the tragedy of sin. ...read more

    The church in Corinth had a problem communicating with outsiders and visitors. The church still has that problem. This sermon looks at some of the difficulties that we have dealing with those who are unfamiliar with our faith.

    Opening and Introduction Tonight, we continue our sermon series on sharing our faith. In our text today, we heard about Christians in Corinth that struggled talking to visitors.

    When Jesus called Matthew as a disciple, he followed without hesitation. But, we often bring a lot of baggage alongside our faith. How can we work towards dropping our baggage and following Jesus more freely?

    Opening and Introduction In our text today, we heard of a tax collector named Levi, more commonly known as the disciple Matthew. Matthew was working in his toll booth and left everything behind to follow Jesus. He left without hesitation, without conditions, and without negotiating how he would ...read more

     | 3,346 views

    God wants us to seek him, but we don't always seek him properly. Even with the distractions, we face in life, God is still there waiting for us.

    Opening and Introduction When I think of looking for something, a book designed for kids comes to mind. It’s a book with pictures called “Where’s Waldo”. Did anyone see any of those books? The idea was to look for this guy with a red and white stripped shirt that always seemed to blend-in ...read more

    God, But Man (Strange, But True!)

    Contributed by Scott Jensen on Nov 11, 2019
     | 1,791 views

    Simply put, there is only one Jesus, but this Jesus has two natures: He is God and He is man. Paul explains this well as he points to Jesus’ human characteristics, like His death on a cross, while also asserting His divinity, saying that the very fullness of God dwells in Christ.

    The Son was both God and Man to restore His creation 1. Jesus really was a man a. Stepped out of heaven to be like us b. He was born just like us, lived like us, grew up like us c. Lived a humble lifestyle and pinched pennies d. He got tired like us i. Crowds followed him ...read more

     | 3,662 views

    Luther's studies reveled that we are saved by grace through faith, and not by works. That thought is the heart of what the reformation. This sermon ties into the reformation with the parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector.

    Opening and Introduction Tonight, is a special day as we celebrate the reformation. Just over 500 years ago, Martin Luther nailed 95 theses on the Wittenberg church door, which changed the landscape of Europe, and the world.
