  • Babel

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Apr 29, 2013
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,677 views

    The sin of pride, self-glory, provoked the building of the tower, and the sin of distrust led these people away. God can take our confusion and replace it with clarity.

    (The actual title of the sermon is: ""Wir steigen hinab und vewirren ihre Sprache") When you scanned the bulletin this morning you may have been a bit confused about my sermon title…"What in the world is this about?" And you’d have some idea of how the world felt at Babel. "Wir ...read more

  • Tears And Joy Series

     | 6,417 views

    The wall of Jerusalem was rebuilt, but a strong defense wasn’t enough. After reconstruction comes reinstruction. Israel needed to be strong in the Lord, and for that to happen, they needed to be a “people of the book.” Exposition was followed by adorat

    In review, Nehemiah has asked the king of Persia for support to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem, and in spite of regional opposition and threats, the project was successful. For the first time the people of Jerusalem were able to live normal lives without fear of attack. However, Nehemiah’s ...read more

  • Easter On The Front Lines

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Apr 3, 2013
     | 2,232 views

    What are our "front lines"? Jesus faced death, and His resurrection empowers us to face life.

    Army Chaplain Edward Rogers, a Lutheran minister, served with the soldiers of the “Big Red One”, the First Infantry Division, in WWII. Like most chaplains, he saw a lot of troops come to him with complaints about the Army. Some chaplains hand out cards, “authorizing” 15 ...read more

  • King Jesus

     | 4,245 views

    The message of Palm Sunday is that Jesus presented and proclaimed Himself as King of Israel. He was hailed as King that day. What does it mean to be under a King? Do we live as His subjects?

    The message of Palm Sunday is that Jesus presented and proclaimed Himself as King of Israel. On this day we remember His “Triumphal Entry” into Jerusalem. He was hailed as King that day. He is the One who declared: “All authority, in Heaven and on Earth, has been given to ...read more

  • Courage Under Fire Series

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Mar 18, 2013
     | 5,361 views

    The work on the wall is nearly done, so we see their four acts of desperation to defeat God’s work: 1. Assassination plot (1-4); 2. Scandalous rumor (5-7); 3. Trap to violate the Temple (10-14); 4. Threat letters (15-19)...and truth to follow when we fac

    Our public schools have been dealing with the serious problem of bullying. Bullies are nothing new; we see examples of them in the Book of Nehemiah. As Nehemiah gets closer to completing the work on the wall of Jerusalem, the pressure and intimidation intensifies. The work was nearly done; all ...read more

  • Defending The Poor Series

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Mar 3, 2013
     | 6,166 views

    God cares for the poor and oppressed; one of the most prominent themes in the Bible is our response toward the poor. It is the duty of God’s people to provide for those in need as best as we can with compassion, following the example of Nehemiah.

    Nehemiah has resisted outward attacks, but now there’s corruption within. It’s been said that, “No test of leadership is more revealing than the test of opposition” (Boice). Nehemiah wasn’t expecting opposition from his own people. The outcry of the poor reached his ...read more

  • Sword And Trowel Series

     | 6,992 views

    Prayer, preparation, and a passion for the cause of God are the keys to Israel's defense under Nehemiah.

    We’re skipping over chapter 3, which consists of a roster of those engaged in the work effort. Nehemiah has his workers carefully organized to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. The Hebrew word for “rebuild” was also used for the healing of a wound. Nehemiah divides the work into ...read more

  • Rise And Rebuild Series

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Feb 4, 2013
     | 9,172 views

    We may have no walls to repair, yet many of us have faced the challenge of restoring a ruined life. Whatever we may encounter, we can find in Nehemiah’s quest the confidence to handle adversity with grace. We can expect God to act--to be present when tr

    In the Army, we say that there are 3 kinds of people… -Those who make things happen; -Those who watch things happen; -Those who wonder, “What happened?” Nehemiah was a leader who--by God’s grace--made things happen. We may have no walls to repair, yet many of us have faced ...read more

  • Despair Or Repair Series

    Nehemiah's life is a lesson in leadership. Nehemiah did more than rebuild a wall; he helped restore a people from ruin and despair to new hope and a renewed walk with God.

    Nehemiah is an appropriate book to study as we get into a new year. It is the story of a new beginning. Nehemiah saw the heart-breaking plight of Jerusalem and determined to be part of the solution. His life is a lesson in leadership. Nehemiah did more than rebuild a wall; he helped restore a ...read more

  • Shame

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Jan 20, 2013
     | 5,034 views

    We often want a "no demands" Christianity, and feel little regret over our failures. This needs to change.

    Earlier this week Lance Armstrong confessed to doping, using performance-enhancing drugs to win the Tour de France. He’s been stripped of his titles and his Olympic medal. We can only imagine the shame he is feeling, especially because the world now knows the truth. Shame is found in many ...read more

  • I Am The Alpha & Omega Series

     | 20,003 views

    Jesus is the eternal Lord, bigger than space and time. His time is always NOW.

    As we begin a new year, let’s consider the One who is both the Beginning and the End. In this, the last “I AM” statement of our series, Jesus opens and closes the Book of Revelation by declaring that He is the “Alpha and Omega”. This would be like saying He is the ...read more

  • I Am Coming Quickly Series

     | 5,217 views

    Claiming Jesus' return is imminent is not the say as claiming His return is "soon". A preterist look at His prophetic "I am" declaration (which was given the last Sunday of the year, 2012)

    Well (no surprise), the Mayan apocalypse didn’t happen, but let’s talk about the real one. I heard a prominent minister say with great conviction--that with all the wickedness in the world, the breakdown of society, natural disasters, and the turmoil in the Middle East--Jesus is ...read more

  • Keeping Sabbath

     | 6,155 views

    Keeping Sabbath has been called “the forgotten spiritual discipline.” It may be the most important discipline. It's about sanctifying time. We don't "keep" the Sabbath; the Sabbath keeps us, and is one of the most transformative blessings of the Christ

    Keeping Sabbath has been called “the forgotten spiritual discipline.” It may be the most important discipline. In a way, it’s the easiest one to keep; there’s nothing to do…and yet most of us are so driven that we can’t possibly imagine doing nothing. We ...read more

  • All Things New

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Dec 13, 2012
    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,697 views

    A sermon for the New Year. We have a bright new hope. We’re not yet what we should be but we’re not what we once were--without hope and without God.

    "He who sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new" (Revelation 21:5). It is January 2nd, 2011…so far, so good! How pleased we are with things that are new. Economists are optimistic about first quarter growth; pastors are optimistic that Christians will renew their commitment ...read more

  • Job's Friends

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Dec 13, 2012
     | 4,807 views

    Job's self-assured friends were all wrong in their assessment. Job was right. In fact, he was living in the center of God’s will. God says so, and orders Job’s friends to offer a sacrifice to atone for their judgmental attitudes, topping that by tellin

    I recall a fight I had in seminary. I was arguing with another student over some theological matter, when he got mad and slugged me. Before I knew what was happening, I left the room, but not under my own power. A student walking by saw what was going on, grabbed me, and whisked me out before ...read more
