     | 16,824 views

    Jesus wasn’t in the dark about why He was invited to this dinner. But I have to admit that if a Pharisee had asked me to come to dinner for the purpose of spying on me, I would have refused.

    Jerusalem Lesson: Meal with a Pharisee Ruler Occasions Healing a Man with Dropsy; Parables of Ox, Best Places, and Great Supper Luke 14:1-24 Jesus Goes to Dinner at Home of Pharisee (Luke 14:1) And it came to pass, as he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees to eat bread on the ...read more

    The human race lost its way in the garden of Eden, and for thousands of years a return to the garden was prevented by the flaming sword. But at the proper time, Jesus knocked down the barrier of sin and made a way to return to the state of blessedness.

    Why You Shouldn’t Speak In Tongues

    Contributed by John Gaston on Nov 7, 2017
    based on 1 rating
     | 11,454 views

    The arguments against speaking in tongues today, if applied to other Bible doctrines, would have all orthodox Bible believers crying foul. The truth is, these arguments are not true to the Scriptures or Early Church experience, and should be rejected.

    WHY YOU SHOULDN’T SPEAK IN TONGUES INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. We’re on our way somewhere! Not just to a normal place like the grocery store or to the bank. We’re on our way to heaven! 2. Have you ever been up a really tall building? A small boy, with his father, was in an elevator going up the ...read more

    The command to imitate God in Ephesians 5:15-17 teaches us to walk in wisdom.

    Scripture Two weeks I began a sermon series in Ephesians 5:1-21 called, “Be Imitators of God.” In his letter to the Ephesian Christians, the Apostle Paul wrote in Ephesians 5:1a, “Therefore be imitators of God.” That is Paul’s overall command for this section of Scripture. He then gave three ways ...read more

    The Rejected God

    Contributed by Hans Krause on Oct 22, 2018
    based on 2 ratings
     | 10,823 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

    To Make It In Life, I Need To Give Encouragement And Appreciation

    Contributed by Rick Gillespie- Mobley on Oct 23, 2018
     | 7,545 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.

    Be Patient!

    based on 3 ratings
     | 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

    From Death To Life Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Oct 28, 2018
    based on 3 ratings
     | 13,023 views

    There's a repetitive theme in Scripture: heroes and heroines of the Bible seemingly all go through the process of being given a vision by God, followed by the death of that vision, and ultimately the rebirth of that vision. How did that pattern apply to Jesus and how does it apply to us?
