    This is a sermon that focuses on that big question "Why?" Why do bad things happen to good people?

    “WHY?” A young man, barely in his 20’s… lies dying of cancer with only a few months to live. He is a good man, never did anything bad in his life. He goes to church, and is even a member of the Deacons and … well… he WAS very dedicated about visiting the sick and shut-ins. Everybody loves him, ...read more

    All Things New: Even Me

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Dec 28, 2008
    based on 8 ratings
     | 7,315 views

    Interactive sermon, asking the people to identify what old things God is taking away, what new things He is leading us toward, what evidence there is of His work in the world and the church, and to what we will commit in prayer for 2009.

    You would have to be obtuse indeed not to notice that the Bible is all about making old things new. The early pages of Genesis tell the story of our expulsion from the garden of delights because of our disobedience, and we discover how it so pained the heart of God for us to ignore Him that He ...read more

    Are we taking what we prefer, or what we see as a good thing and entering into the Kingdom of God and claiming it as God’s will, when it is nothing but our own doing?

    Pile the kids in the car, hit the remote, garage door opens, and out you go on another drive. Grocery store. Hardware store. The bank. Costco. It is just a trip across town. Nothing exciting, just an every day trip. Kids either don’t want to go, or they complain about going or they act bored out of ...read more

    Christians are to be radically different than anyone else - not for the sake of being different - but because it is our nature.

    January 20, 2008 Morning Worship Text: Matthew 9:14-17 Subject: Fasting Title: Why Aren’t You Like Everyone Else? We live in a very confusing time in our culture. Sometimes it becomes difficult to differentiate between the good guys and bad guys. Of course we understand that as a sign of the ...read more

Becker, M.Div., ULLM St. Peter’s Lutheran Church—Elk Grove January 20th, 2007—2nd Sunday after Epiphany As Christians, how often have you heard people refer to us—or maybe even we ourselves call ourselves—as “born again.” A great dialogue we find in ...read more

    When human barriers come down, HEAVENLY BLESSINGS come down! Acts 10:1-34 Have you ever noticed that the guy driving slower than you is always a jerk, whereas the guy driving faster than you is always a maniac? By fallen nature, we’re all prone to justify ourselves and to condemn those who ...read more

    Do we have to stay this way? Will we require more of ourselves? There is hope, a new hope, a living hope, a hope against hope.
