  • Perfect Love Casts Out All Fear

    Contributed by Stephen Aram on Aug 21, 2019
     | 5,163 views

    We have recently been pressed to react to immigrants in fear, but God calls us to respond in love.

    Oh, man, if you think about it, getting up in front of a crowd to speak like this can be pretty scary. What if my brain goes blank in the middle of a sentence? That’s happened to me. Even when I was in my 30s, one time I was wrapping up the worship service and I got halfway through the ...read more

  • What We Shall Be

    Contributed by Stephen Aram on Aug 21, 2019
     | 3,239 views

    The more we feel battered on this earth or are tempted to look away from others who are broken, the more we need to remember what God can make us when we see him face to face in heaven.

    This morning we are celebrating All Saints’ Sunday. You may know that the observance began many centuries ago to honor Christians who experienced the fierce persecutions of the Roman Empire, who were executed for their faith, and maintained their testimony of Christ through it all. Folks like a ...read more

  • The Stewardship Of The Gospel

    Contributed by Stephen Aram on Aug 31, 2019
    based on 2 ratings
     | 5,137 views

    The understanding that the Apostle Paul had for God's calling on his life is instructive for the calling of every church.

    This morning I would like to start on a fairly major project. We are going to start a sermon series from the New Testament book of Ephesians. Its only 6 chapters long, but there is so much in it that it could easily take us 6 months to complete. I love the Bible, and to see the Bible's ...read more

  • The Church: Exhibit A

    Contributed by Stephen Aram on Aug 31, 2019
     | 3,819 views

    The church often seems really clutzy, but the way that we live together and love one another is really important.

    Have you ever noticed that sometimes the church seems a bit lame? There never seems to be enough money. There always seems to be somebody fussing about some really petty thing, trying to make a mountain out of a molehill. Sometimes it seems to take forever to get everybody agreed and working ...read more

  • Family Comes From The Heart Of God

    Contributed by Stephen Aram on Aug 31, 2019
     | 3,306 views

    It can be hard to understand what God is like, but Genesis tells us that we are created in God's image and we know that God is love. When we love our families and others, we experience something important of what God is like.

    Open your bulletins and look at the two Bible verses at the top of our worship liturgy for today, in the box that says, “Words to Ponder.” We have all heard those two verses many times before, but I want to be sure you understand some amazing things in them this morning. Could we read them ...read more

  • How To Be Good And Mad

    Contributed by Stephen Aram on Sep 11, 2019
     | 3,348 views

    Christians often try to avoid or deny anger because unrighteous anger can be so destructive. But there is a time and place and way to be angry in a constructive way.

    This morning I want to talk about finding freedom from anger, or to be precise, from destructive anger, not all anger. And our sermon text for this morning lays out a very simple outline of some really important guidance for us about anger. It is Ephesians 4:25-27. 26 Be angry but do not sin; do ...read more

  • A Safe Place To Come Close

    Contributed by Stephen Aram on Sep 11, 2019
     | 4,398 views

    Humility and gentleness are keys for creating a church fellowship where people feel safe to come close to one another.

    Last week we started with the dilemma of two porcupines on a very cold night, who needed to snuggle up close to each other to stay warm. But the closer they got the more they pricked each other with their quills, so they pulled apart. But the more they pulled apart, the colder they got. So it ...read more

  • Bearing With One Another In Love

    Contributed by Stephen Aram on Sep 11, 2019
     | 4,223 views

    All of us have needed to have people be patient with us when we were slow to grow and learn, working through a deep wound in our heart or just having a bad day. One of the best ways to help our churches and all their members is to learn to be patient with them, bearing with them in love.

    I don’t get to do it very often anymore, but I love fishing. I grew up near a muddy little lake where you could catch bullheads and bluegills almost any time you tried. But catching fish is only part of the joy. Two years ago we vacationed up in Minnesota. The first evening we went out to a ...read more

  • Maintaining God's Unity

    Contributed by Stephen Aram on Sep 11, 2019
     | 4,974 views

    When God's church is unified in love, wonderful power flows. But too often the flow is blocked. We need to learn to maintain the unity that God provides for us.

    We lived for 7 years up in Winthrop Harbor, the Cornerstone of Illinois. Our house was 6 blocks from the Wisconsin border and about 2 miles from the Lake Michigan shoreline. We were maybe 5 miles from the Zion Nuclear Plant. We had several good friends who worked there. This week I’ve been ...read more

  • Be One! Be Different!

    Contributed by Stephen Aram on Sep 11, 2019
     | 3,479 views

    No one is useless in the church. The Holy Spirit gives everyone some gifting that they can contribute. The church needs you.

    This is a bit embarrassing to say, but I have this thing about doing the Tribune’s crossword puzzle each day, and I couldn’t finish Saturday’s and it’s bugging me. Maybe you can help me out. Then I can focus on our sermon text. Can you help me for a minute? I got most of it already. This should ...read more

  • 3: Ready To Proclaim The Gospel Of Peace Series

    Contributed by Stephen Aram on Dec 1, 2019
     | 3,553 views

    God calls us to go beyond just spiritually surviving our even flourishing within our souls. He calls us to go out and make a difference.

    We return to Ephesians, chapter 6, for our sermon text this morning. Now hear the word of God, from the Apostle Paul "Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his power. Put on the whole armor of God, so that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For our ...read more

  • A Word To Fathers

    Contributed by Stephen Aram on Dec 1, 2019
     | 3,338 views

    Parenting is one of the most important tasks of our lives, one of the greatest opportunities todo something that really matters. The Apostle Paul gives us important wisdom for how to do it well.

    This is Father’s Day, a time to think about one of the most important tasks in any society. Being a parent, father or mother, is one of the most demanding, draining, frustrating jobs you will ever do. And it also may well be the most fulfilling job you ever do. They say that nobody complains on ...read more

  • Workers And Bosses

    Contributed by Stephen Aram on Dec 1, 2019
     | 2,813 views

    Most of us are pretty good at knowing how to behave at church. But how does Christian faith apply in your workplace. The Apostle Paul gives some real wisdom for us in his letter to the Ephesians.

    Imagine with me that we aren’t in the southwest suburbs of Chicago, but in the Greek city of Ephesus. And it’s not this morning. It’s the first century. And the routine of going to church is very different. There is no church building. We come to church in a house, the home of one of the few ...read more

  • 2. The Belt Of Truth Series

    Contributed by Stephen Aram on Dec 1, 2019
     | 2,720 views

    There are a lot of nice things about Christianity, but they mean nothing if the good news of Jesus Christ is not true. The Christian life begins by finding out for yourself that the gospel is true.

    Last summer Kathy and I took our son, Justin, to Washington, D.C. One of our stops was a tour of the FBI building. We saw the crime lab, the shooting practice range, pictures of the top ten most wanted criminals and all that. But all the time I was dying to ask if we could see Fox ...read more

  • 1. It's A Battle Out There! Series

    Contributed by Stephen Aram on Dec 1, 2019
     | 3,804 views

    Don't be surprised if life feels like a battle some days, or even a lot of days. We have a powerful enemy in the devil and his tricks can be dangerous.

    This morning we begin a new part of Paul’s letter to the Ephesians. You could call it the grand climax. I love Ephesians because of the picture that it gives of the church. The church, blessed by God, united, holy, and now, finally, in Ephesians 6:10-17, the church militant. Please stand for ...read more
