    Leaning Against Legalism

    Contributed by Tom Fuller on Jun 20, 2011
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,057 views

    We often measure our success by how closely we stick to a set of expectations - whether on the job, at home, or in our walk with the Lord. We do good, we feel good - we do bad, we feel bad. But measuring success is really much different in a relationship

    When you apply for a job you supply your resume—it’s that collection of information that tells why you are qualified for a particular position. Until not too long ago, a very important thing to have when going to a new area was a letter of recommendation. We still use them occasionally. ...read more

    From The Street Where You Live To The Faraway Towns

    Contributed by Mary Erickson on Feb 8, 2021
     | 2,181 views

    Jesus' ministry pulls him in two directions: very close to the person in need and outwards to encounter all people. Our first instinct is to keep Jesus solely for ourselves. But as his divine grace lifts us up, he calls us outward into our lives of purpose

    February 7, 2021 Hope Lutheran Church Rev. Mary Erickson Mark 1:29-39 From the Street Where You Live to the Faraway Towns Friends, may grace and peace be yours in abundance in the knowledge of God and Christ Jesus our Lord. When I go for a walk along a neighborhood street, I like to look at the ...read more

    The Lesser Of Evils (Or Choose Your Sinner)

    Contributed by Steven Cordle on Sep 6, 2024
     | 1,266 views

    Since we are getting close to Election Day and there's a lot of discussion about Christians voting and whether or not Christians should vote for certain candidates and how Christians should vote on the various issues and initiatives that appear on the ballot I thought I would share this.

    In Christ (Part One )

    Contributed by Derrick Tuper on May 5, 2022
     | 2,193 views

    Some people are close to being saved but they're not there yet. But for those who cross that threshold and become born-again, we are now considered to be 'in Christ'. It's an interesting phrase used to refer followers of Jesus but what does it mean?

    IN CHRIST (part one) Last week my sermon was based on Jesus' words to the teacher of the law when he told him he was not far from the kingdom of God. Some people are close to being saved but they're not there yet. But for those who cross that threshold and become born-again, we are now ...read more

    What Is The Source Of Temptation?

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jul 26, 2023
     | 1,881 views

    The sermon title asks, What is the Source of Temptation? Just who is it who lures us into sin? We immediately want to say Satan and blame him. We say, “the devil made me do it,” but the answer is a bit closer to home. Thankfully, the solution is as close as prayer.

    For the next few weeks I would like to talk about temptation. What is it that tempts you? Is it food? We all have a favorite food. We get a whiff of it, and our mouth starts watering. It's so tempting. The urge to take a bite of cake may not necessarily be a bad thing, but we're often ...read more

    The Final Message In Jude – The Glorious But Challenging Doxology – Jude 1:24-25 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Aug 24, 2022
     | 3,903 views

    The closing doxology of Jude's letter is not only glorious, but when analysed, it is specifically challenging to our Christian lives. How do we stand? What about stumbling? How are we blameless? To Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and authority for ever and ever!

    THE FINAL MESSAGE IN JUDE – THE GLORIOUS BUT CHALLENGING DOXOLOGY – Jude 1:24-25 INTRODUCTION: We have proceeded through Jude slowly, bit by bit, to understand it. Jude began his letter wanting to write to encourage the believers in their common salvation, but then the urgency of contending for ...read more

    The Greatest Love

    Contributed by Michael Bates on Sep 15, 2023
     | 1,481 views

    Human love comes in many forms. Human love is also flawed because with it comes conditions and limitations. God's love though is divine, selfless, unconditional and flawless. There's no other love that even remotely comes close to the love that God has for us.

    The Bible says in 1 John 4:7-16 NIV Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the ...read more

    How Christians Ought To Behave

    Contributed by Otis Mcmillan on Feb 18, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,626 views

    God knows best. He gave Jesus Christ to be the Savior for everyone who believes in Him. To receive the full benefits of his salvation, you should fully surrender to God. Decide not to do your will, but God’s will. Then you will be close to God and experience his power.

    Sermon – How Christians ought to Behave (Walk Upright in a Fallen World) Romans 12:1-10 “And so, dear brothers and sisters,[a] I plead with you to give your bodies to God because of all he has done for you. Let them be a living and holy sacrifice—the kind he will find acceptable. This is truly the ...read more

    Any Old Bush Will Do

    Contributed by John Gaston on Oct 29, 2025
     | 722 views

    The bush God chose on Horeb was a worthless, fruitless bush that only stuck you with a thorn if you got close, yet God used it (by His holy presence) to deliver Israel and reveal His power to the world! If He can use that, He can use us!

    ANY OLD BUSH WILL DO Ex. 3:1-10 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR 1. President Bush was going through an airport when he saw a man who looked like Moses. He asked him, "Are you Moses?" The man acted as if he didn't hear. 2. He asked him again, "Are you Moses?" The man refused to look ...read more

    Some Thoughts On Depopulation

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Nov 23, 2024
     | 445 views

    The world's current population is somewhere between 7 and 8 billion. Some think that's too many and have openly advocated for depopulation measures. All they need to do is wait for the Great Tribulation and they'll come close to getting their wish!

    Introduction: A number of people, mostly elites, and increasingly calling out for more people to die! The justification, if I understand it correctly, is that there are too many people on this planet to be kept (the “sustainability” argument) and/or there isn’t enough of the right _kind_ of people. ...read more

     | 116 views

    Jesus meets us in our weakness, restores what is withered, and calls us to receive his mercy and healing, even when others resist compassion.

    Friends, some of us walked in today with hands that feel tired and hearts that feel thin. Maybe you’ve been carrying a hurt so long it’s started to shape the way you hold yourself. Maybe your courage has curled up, your patience has pinched in, your hope has shrunk to the size of a clenched fist. ...read more

    The 7 Churches Of Revelation (Part 2) Series

    Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Jul 16, 2023
     | 1,379 views

    This concludes our examination of the 7 churches of Revelation, and each of these churches has a very specific letter given to it. Although sometimes subtle, there is a very common theme to each letter: a church that allows the world to influence it is NOT being faithful to Jesus Christ.

    With each step in the valley, He is always moving us closer to Him.

    Following the Shepherd Ps 23:4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. David wrote this tremendous verse of the Bible drawing from his own experience of being a shepherd. What the ...read more
