The text offers 3 reasons to be thankful. These reasons (unlike so many other) point our worldview toward the Bible, Jehovah, and spiritual.

Reasons To Be Thankful 2 Corinthians 4:6-18 * Americans are, seemingly, the most blessed people on the globe. Things we take for granted are considered to be luxuries by the many on the globe.

Our Lord wants us to be ’doers’, ’hearers’, and obedient!

We don’t do to ‘gain’ eternal life; ...read more

Authority And The Fear Of God

Contributed by Greg Nance on Jul 24, 2010

Matthew 8 demonstrates Jesus’ authority in miracles and ministry. Jesus’ words and works show us the depth and extent of His authority. Our call is to walk under that suthority as we hear and heed his instruction.

Matthew 7 ends with the amazement of the crowds who heard Jesus teachings. They observed that Jesus spoke with authority and not as their teachers of the law or scribes. We noticed several passages last week about the fear of the Lord and its importance to our lives as Christians. Without the ...read more

The Necessity Of Sound Teaching

Contributed by Christopher Martin on Sep 20, 2009

A sermon preached September 13, 2009 at Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church, Audubon, Iowa. It was Sunday School/Christian Education Rally Sunday. This sermon focuses on the necessity of sound teaching from the Word in the life of the congregation.

One of the things we put a great deal of importance on in our American society today is education. We encourage our kids to “stay in school” and to do well in school. We now also live in an age where most of our high school graduates go off to college, or some type of specialized education in order ...read more

The Sacred Cow

Contributed by John A. Peck on Nov 3, 2009

We don’t have high regard for cows in our culture. Even the term, sacred cow, is funny to us. However, God has given cows a special place in the Holy Scriptures.

One of my favorite Far Side cartoons shows a herd of cattle standing at a fence, facing a leader. In the background is a large urban city in flames. In the caption, the leader cow is saying, “Evidently, Agent (some number) has accomplished her mission.” Cows. Even the word is funny. We don’t ...read more
