    Contributed by David Nolte on Dec 17, 2018
     | 4,496 views

    Most people get gifts on their birthday but Jesus reversed the role.

    Birthdays. Everybody has them. Some miscount them – me for example. Last year I was telling people I was 77, but Marlene and Keri convinced me that, until December 24, I was only 76. Some make sure others remember their birthday. Some people have two birthdays: one at the time they ...read more

    God’s call to take the journey to worship the newborn king isn’t just for those born to privilege, or those born in the church. It isn’t just for pastors, scholars, and religious leaders. No, God’s call to worship is for anyone who will listen.

    OPENING STORY An old king sat uncomfortably on his throne, fingernails dug into well-worn grooves in the wood as he waited nervously for the mysterious travelers to approach. All Jerusalem was abuzz with the rumors that these men were searching for a new heir which had just been born, yet neither ...read more

    God is our Shepherd, we are the sheep of his flock. Psalm 23 contains great promises for where we are going when life on earth is over. But it also gives a tremendous promise of comfort: On our journey God is always with us.

    [Sermon preached on 15 April 2018, 2nd Sunday after Easter (Good Shepherd Sunday) / 3rd year, ELCF Lectionary] We all have the need to think and talk about God in a more or less concrete way. Considering that God is a mystery deeper than the deepest ocean and vaster than the universe, that is ...read more

    The first message in a short series on Psalm 8, inspired by Clay Crosse's rendition of "The Majesty and Glory of Your Name" and Psalm 8 itself! God's creation is wonderful and beautiful--but how God and man is above it all. Why is God mindful of man?

    We are expected to be the lights shining in the dark places of this world so that others can find their way to the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ!

    Our behavior should reflect our relationship with the perfect God, rather than our relationships with imperfect people.

    Once upon a time, long long ago, in a galaxy far far away, that passage from Matthew changed my life. Well, it wasn’t another galaxy, exactly, but it was certainly another world. And it certainly feels like a longtime ago. I started working for the Pillsbury Company over 30 years ago. ...read more

     | 7,276 views

    The Bible is NOT like any other book; its words are ALIVE! David compared God’s words to the purest gold, once it has finished going through the smelting process. The Word of God, like gold, is Trustworthy, Indestructible, Flawless, and Valuable.
