    What Does The Bible Teach About Sexual Orientation?

    Contributed by Freddy Fritz on Feb 9, 2018

     | 10,914 views

    What is God's answer for the issue of sexual orientation?

    Introduction When a baby is born, the first thing usually said is, "It's a boy!" or "It's a girl!" The sex of a child is based on biology-anatomy and chromosomes. But, for some people, their sense of gender does not always match their sex. That mismatch was brought to our attention in 2015 when ...read more

    Negativity and criticism permeates our society, workplace, churches and homes. Use the power of the tongue to build up, not tear down, because the consequences of negativity are severe.

    Stewardship, Generosity, And Giving Are Not The Same Series

    Contributed by Doug Fannon on Sep 19, 2018
     | 8,726 views

    Stewardship is how we manage everything we keep. Stewardship is a role, giving is an act, and generosity is an attitude. Since God created and still owns all we have, stewardship is recognizing that God is the owner and we are his managers, responsible for using God’s possessions to please Him.

    New Sermon Series Begins today on Stewardship. This is not a series about giving more, but more on managing those things that belong to God. To help you understand the biblical position I will be taking on this matter of stewardship, let me ask you a simple question: If you made $1,000 last week, ...read more

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Sep 30, 2018
     | 5,145 views

    This is the third message in the series. This message examines Romans 7 to see if it is talking about a Christian struggling with a sin nature.

    In the first six chapters of Romans the Apostle Paul repeatedly contrasts what it means to live under the law and what it means to live by faith. He says a person will either have a nature that is governed by the law or a nature that is governed by grace. He will not have both at the same ...read more

    The Rejected God

    Contributed by Hans Krause on Oct 22, 2018
    based on 2 ratings
     | 10,828 views

    We can call ourselves Christians, go to church, give our tithes, etc. and yet have rejected God effectively. The picture Jeremiah gives of life in Judah comes close to life in the Christian West, with several gods competing for our loyalty.

    [Sermon preached on 4 March 2018, 3rd Sunday in Lent / 3rd year, ELCF Lectionary] It is so endearing at times to see little children in a big supermarket or shopping mall. They come in with mom or dad, but as soon as they see something interesting—toys, candies, pets, or anything else that ...read more

    Contributed by Rick Gillespie- Mobley on Oct 23, 2018
     | 7,546 views

    We miss out on blessings from God and from others when we fail to willingly give out encouragement and appreciation. Barnabus, The Son of Encouragment should be the example for us to follow.

    To Make It In Life In Need To Give Encouragement & Appreciation Luke 17:11-19 Acts 4:32-37 10/21/2018 If you want to get more out of life, there are two traits that you will need to be a blessing and to be more blessed.

     | 9,115 views

    Curiosity and greed are part of our DNA, patience is not. It is the fruit of the Holy Spirit and must be cherished and fed in order to grow in our lives. We must be patient with others and with God just as God is patient with us.

    [Sermon preached on 10 December 2017, 2nd Advent / 3rd year, ELCF Lectionary] I remember how as a young child I became very impatient when Christmas was drawing near. Not so much because of Christmas, but because I also had my birthday. Like most kids, I also had many things on my wish list. My ...read more
