     | 3,139 views

    I delivered this eulogy in 2014 at the memorial service of my nieces baby boy who died a few days after birth. Thought I’d share it. I hope it blesses you.

    In times like these the first question we often ask is “Why?” And that’s a legitimate question that we’re going to answer here today. But first, let’s deal with what some people believe are the reasons why we are here today. During times like these, I’ve heard ministers say “God needed another ...read more

    A Walk Down The Street With Jesus Series

     | 7,375 views

    We must "walk in the light" each and every day with all the people we meet in all the situations we find ourselves in. If we do not, we make God a liar because we claim to be His (light) and yet walk in darkness.

    A WALK DOWN THE STREET WITH JESUS 1 John 1:1-10 #WalkDowntheStreet Let’s walk down the street together. You, me, and Jesus. As we leave the front doors of the church, we find ourselves on a semi-busy street. Manhattan Avenue is a semi-busy street in my book. The sun is shining. There is ...read more

    This text reveals Jesus as the Light of the world. His Light shines in darkness, dispelling the darkness of sin. As the Light reveals needs in our lives, we are responsible to respond to the Light.

    Abiding in the Light 1 John 1: 5-10 In our opening passage, John focused on the characteristic of Christ as the Living Word, God revealed to humanity in human form. Christ came to earth as the embodiment of the eternal God. Now he focuses on Christ as the Light of the world. Each of these ...read more

    What does fellowship look like and how does Church fellowship benefit us?

    OPEN: Once upon a time (as all good stories begin), a group of people agreed that they should spend each Sunday in the presence of one another. Many were not satisfied with the 6 or 8 hours each week, but also came together each Saturday for several more hours of fellowship.They did not count the ...read more

    Peter's Wonderful Surprise Series

    Contributed by David Owens on Aug 20, 2018
     | 9,437 views

    After denying Jesus three times, Peter must have felt that Jesus would want nothing more to do with him, but on resurrection morning Peter received two wonderful surprises that told him he couldn't be more wrong about that.

    Introduction: A. One day an attorney gathered the entire family for the reading of the will of their wealthy relative. 1. Kinfolk came from near and far, to see if they were included in the bequests. 2. The lawyer somberly opened the will and began to read: “To my cousin Ed, I leave my ranch. To ...read more

    Many Christians suffer from Spiritual Affective Disorder, because they do not allow their lives to be exposed to the light of God. "Bright light therapy" can bring their lives back on track. How can God's light change our lives?

    [Sermon preached on 4 February 2018, Candlemas / 3rd year, ELCF Lectionary] I have been living in Finland for more than thirty-five years now. And still, every year, I get affected by the winter blues. Days are so short, and the clouds are so thick, that some days it seems to me that the sun does ...read more

    This message paints a picture of what it looks like to walk with God.

    Are you In Step with God? 1 John 1:5-10 (NKJV) 5 This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. 6 If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. 7 But if we walk in ...read more

    Honesty - Silence Is Not Always Golden

    Contributed by Jeff Riedel on Jul 2, 2014
     | 9,818 views

    Seeking God and having the ultimate relationship with Him requires complete honesty. Covering our faults and failures is no good to anyone. This message challenges the hearer to examine how honest he/she is with the Lord, himself and others.

    SERMON: The next person, after hearing this message, who tells a lie, no matter how big or small.....will fall over immediately and die. Ok maybe not, but hey, It could happen you know. Wait, it did happen.... Wait....it does happen......Wait.....it happens all the time. More on that in a ...read more

    The Ultimate Love 1 John 1:5-7NLT Introduction: How far can you walk? one block, two? one mile, ten?

    Truth matters. Truth in belief and truth in behaviour. It matters what we believe about Jesus. It matters how we live

    John is a passionate writer. Maybe he realises that he’s coming to the end of his life and he doesn’t have much time left to get his message across. Maybe he looks around at the church and realises that the inexorable drift from the gospel to religion is impacting on those he’s ...read more

    Word Comes Alive

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Mar 6, 2014
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,772 views

    Do your actions, your faithfulness show you are a part of God's program or does it show that you are outside of it looking on? For you is worshiping the Lord a matter of service to others and obeying Him. This is what honors Him and gives us our purpose.

    Opening Illustration: This line between truth and falsehood is blurred in our society. We pick up newspapers and read touching stories and later find out that the stories were complete fabrications. We are used to politicians making us promises to get our votes, only to forget those promises once ...read more

    "God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another"

    Open your Bible to the Epistle of 1 John, and I would like for you to follow with me as I read from chapter 1 verse 3 to 8 “We proclaim to you what we have seen and heard, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ. We ...read more
