    How should we prepare for the birthday of King Jesus? John the Baptist calls us to repentance, to preparing the way for him into our lives and making straight a highway into our hearts.

    [Sermon preached on 17 December 2017, 3rd Sunday in Advent / 3rd year, ELCF Lectionary] Every year again I am surprised how much time and energy goes into preparing for Christmas. So many things to do… and in the end so few things that really matter. The famous American author John Grisham wrote ...read more

    One Thing

    It’s interesting to try to narrow things down to one. When you do that you are identifying the most significant thing. We see this principle applied in scripture. Let’s look at some of these incidents and see what we can learn from them.

    ONE THING If you could have only one thing in the world what would it be? If you could only go one place where would you go? What about if there was only one thing standing in the way of you accomplishing something. It’s interesting to try to narrow things down to one. When you do that you ...read more

    With Us - Peace Series

    Contributed by Thomas Bartlett on Dec 10, 2020
     | 3,089 views

    If we’re honest, we’re all looking for something. It seems to me that most people today, now more than ever simply want inner peace. Less stress, a sense of wellbeing and moments of time where their mind is not occupied with thoughts of, “I must”, “what if” or “I wonder why”?

    The question is: How has Jesus restored your life? Just as Jesus brought physical healing to the man by the sheep gate through the power of His words, He has brought you spiritual healing through His death, burial, and resurrection.

    Last week we started talking about what Jesus has done for us as we approach the Easter season. We looked at the long list of things that Jesus has done for us but finally decided that the greatest thing that Jesus did for us was to provide Himself. Today I want to look briefly at how Jesus ...read more

     | 2,779 views

    Zerubbabel’s mind was occupied by more pressing matters. Leaders must not only lead in the moment of crisis, but they must also lead us into the future. Before Zerubbabel can lead into the future, God must rebuild his faith and confidence.

    Sermon: God’s Promise of Turnaround Haggai 2:18-23 “Think about this eighteenth day of December, the day when the foundation of the Lord’s Temple was laid. Think carefully.

    Isaiah 59:8 states, The way of peace they do not know; there is no justice in their paths. (NIV) These words could be said about Bethlehem in the time of Jesus. And about our world today. Yet into this world has come the One described in Isaiah 9:6, the Prince of Peace.

    Alba 1-2-2022 PRINCE OF PEACE Isaiah 9:6 We live in a world that is unable to stay at peace. We hope for it every new year. But every year disappoints, fulfilling our Lord's words that there will always be wars and rumors of war. Yet, there was in history a moment when the promise of peace ...read more

    John helps us see that the Word is God, creator, light, man. The journey Jesus made started before creation and will last for eternity. What does that mean for us? Consider these thoughts from our Family Minister, Scott Jewell.

    I’ve heard a lot of people talking about when is the right time to get into the Christmas spirit? How do you know you’re ready to celebrate this holiday? For some, it means putting the outdoor decorations up as early as the day after Halloween (after all, why not get that done before it’s freezing ...read more
