    Contributed by Christopher Martin on Jan 19, 2009
    based on 5 ratings
     | 7,762 views

    A sermon for the 2nd Sunday after the Epiphany preached at Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church, Audubon 1/18/09. It plays off Nathaniel’s question in the text "Can anything good come out of Nazareth?"

    “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” That’s quite a question for Nathaniel to be asking this morning, isn’t it? If you were from Nazareth, you might hear that as quite an insult. Just imagine someone you just met asking where you were from, and you say you’re from Audubon, Iowa, and they ...read more

    Contributed by Donnie Martin on Jan 19, 2009
    based on 20 ratings
     | 13,631 views

    This message stresses the need for a holy hunger for God. Far too many Christians and churches have lost much of their appetite to know God more deeply, and serve Him more faithfully.

    Holy Hunger Text: Ps.107: 9 Intro: Webster defines hunger as, “A strong desire; craving.” This strong desire and craving is usually thought of in the context of food. But actually, a person can experience a hunger for almost anything. The world in which we live is literally full of hungry ...read more

    Love is the key to all we do in the Christian life. It is the key to our ministry; the key to our relationships; and the key to our victory.

    Love Is The Key Text: 1 Cor.13: 13 Intro: Have you ever thought about how easy it is for people to misrepresent themselves to others? I suppose a certain amount of that is normal under certain conditions. For instance, I may feel like death warmed over. But if I’m walking through the mall, and ...read more

    What Manner Of Man Is This? Text: Matt.8: 23-27 Intro: Have you ever tried to imagine what Christ Jesus must have been like in person?

    A sermon for 17th Sunday After Pentecost/Proper 18 A preached Sept. 7, 2008 at Our Saviour’s Lutheran Church, Audubon, Iowa. It happened to be Sunday School/Christian Education Rally Day.

    Today marks the beginning of a new year of Sunday School, Confirmation, and other Christian Education activities in this congregation. We often refer to it as “Rally Sunday”, although I much prefer to call it “Christian Education Sunday” because we focus on how important Christian Education is not ...read more

    A re-visit to Daniel in the lion’s den and how God blessed his excellent spirit.

    A pretty lonely guy decided life would be more fun if he had a pet. So he went to the pet store and told the owner that he wanted to buy an unusual pet. After some discussion, he decided on a centipede, which came in a little white box to use for its house. He took the centipede home, found a good ...read more

    This sermon came together after spending a week in Canada fishing so it’s about fish, water and boats.

    Three men were out fishing one day & caught a mermaid. The mermaid said she would grant them each a wish if they would let her go. So the 1st man said, “make me twice as smart as I already am." The mermaid said, your wish is granted & immediately the man started quoting Shakespeare & had this ...read more

    A funeral sermon I preached at my grandmother’s funeral on September 13th, 2003 at Prescott, Iowa.

    Jill did a wonderful job and although she probably didn’t know it, her sharing her memories of Grandma actually was a perfect introduction for my message today and what I have on my mind. Memories seem to be the theme of the day for us. It’s served as a basic theme for me to work with ever since ...read more

  • A Sermon About Grumbling

     | 5,602 views

    A sermon for Pentecost 12B preached 8/31/2003 at St. Paul Lutheran Church, Garner, Iowa (LCMS).

    I think that it may be a safe assumption to make that when you all came here this evening, you didn’t expect to hear a sermon about grumbling. If you did, boy, someone must have let my secret out of the bag or you hacked into my computer or something……But, in all seriousness, we are confronted ...read more

    The Christian life is a warfare. But this message suggests three practices that will pave the way for victory in the spiritual battles of life.

    Instructions For Victory Text: 1 Cor.15: 57; 2 Cor.2: 14 Intro: Dr. Warren W. Wiersbe has a saying that I have found helpful for many years. It goes something like this: “We aren’t fighting for victory; we’re fighting from victory.”(1) “But,” you may ask, “if we are fighting from victory ...read more

    With longing in his heart, Isaiah remembers the time in Israel’s history when God dwelt among His people, and expresses his strong desire for its return, as well as the remedy for its absence.

    PLEADING FOR GOD’S PRESENCE Text: Isaiah 64 Intro: Isaiah the prophet was a highly esteemed citizen of Jerusalem, who enjoyed access to the royal court; and who later became the trusted advisor to king Hezekiah.

  • The Traits Of Token Religion

     | 2,894 views

    Just because someone attaches the word "worship" to a religious service, doesn’t mean that the term fits. This was often the case with Israel’s religous rituals. Sadly, it is often true of many church services in our day.

    The Traits Of Token Religion Text: Phil.1: 3-11 Intro: Today I want to focus on the thought mentioned in the second half of Philippians 1: 10. Paul tells the Philippians that he was praying that their love for Christ might continue to grow, resulting in knowledge, discernment, and sincerity. ...read more

    In the 4th petition of The Lord’s Prayer, we are taught to pray the words “Give us this day our daily bread.” Our Gospel reading for this morning is a great illustration of how our Lord goes about answering this petition. And while we usually focus on how Jesus miraculously meets the physical ...read more

  • Perceptions About God's Presence

    Contributed by Donnie Martin on Nov 14, 2008
    based on 14 ratings
     | 10,580 views

    This sermon deals with the qualities or traits of the presence of God, and the Christian’s need to seek God’s presence in their life and worship.

    PERCEPTIONS ABOUT GOD’S PRESENCE Text: Ps.140: 13 Intro: The presence of God is something that should never be taken lightly. The idea that a holy, pure, altogether perfect God would ever choose to associate Himself with sinful men seems to be an irreconcilable contradiction. And were it not ...read more
