    Laying The Foundation For Revival Series

    Contributed by Daniel Devilder on Oct 24, 2006
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,161 views

    Revival started with a foundation of prayer. Israel’s physical state was a reflection of their spiritual state. Nehemiah’s quest wasn’t just about rebuilding the walls and gates of Jerusalem. It was also about reviving the hearts and minds of the peopl

    From The Street Where You Live To The Faraway Towns

    Contributed by Mary Erickson on Feb 8, 2021
     | 2,131 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.

    "o Little Town Of Bethlehem" Series

    Contributed by Gordon Pike on Dec 19, 2018
    based on 1 rating
     | 10,958 views

    We need to go to Bethlehem … the Bethlehem of long ago. We need to find the peace and hope that was born there in Jesus Christ … and Advent and hymns like Brooks’ “O Little Town of Bethlehem” can take us there in mind and heart, amen?

    On Thursday, November 29, the people living in and around Anchorage, Alaska, went about their lives as usual – working … shopping … watching TV … talking on the phone ... making plans … surfing the net … hinging out with friends. Just going about life. Totally unaware that 3.9 billion – that’s ...read more

    Yhwh The Son

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Feb 7, 2018
     | 4,099 views

    This sermon is an attempt to help us to realize the gravity and magnitude of Who is being introduced in the first chapter of Mark. When we describe the Trinity as God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit it tends to fragment YHWH in our minds.

    Please open your Bibles to Mark 1:9-13 which we will read in a few minutes. Last week we took a look at what John the Baptist meant when he said that he was baptizing people with water but Jesus would baptize them with the Holy Spirit. And we saw that Grace is God’s underserved favor toward ...read more

    Here Is A Trustworthy Saying

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Jan 17, 2018
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,836 views

    As pastors we know that proof texting is dangerous. It is even more dangerous to take two fragments of a "Trustworthy Saying" that spans three verses and use them to support a doctrine. With that in mind lets take a look at 2 Timothy 2:11-13.

    (This is a hybrid between a sermon manuscript and a sermon outline. I hope you can follow it and flesh it out in your own words as the Lord leads you.) Please open your Bibles to 2 Timothy 2:1-13 which we will read in a few minutes. 1st and 2nd Timothy and Titus are letters written to specific ...read more

    Ways Through Seas Series

    Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Feb 1, 2021
     | 2,282 views

    Psalm 77 opened with a cry of doubt and despair. Here is a man who had almost lost his faith because of the thought that God had changed his mind, that God is capricious and cannot be trusted. But he is with us and makes the ways.

    Theme: Ways through Seas Text: Psalm 77:16-20 Introduction: Psalm 77 provides a lot of hope and encouragement amongst cries. It is called a lament psalm. According to Willem VanGemeren (Ph.D., University of Wisconsin & Professor of Old Testament at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School), the ...read more

    When Jesus spoke the Beatitude revealed in verse eight, "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God" He was really answering the question that is on every one’s mind. "Who Can Stand Before A Holy God?"

    Learning more about God is the greatest intellectual pursuit of the human mind. The subject of God is transcendent … as vast as infinity. But studying God, to me, is the most satisfying, uplifting, edifying, expanding, and glorious task we could ever undertake.

     | 17,778 views

    This picture, much less this statement, surprises a lot of people. Some people think a deity ought to behave differently. Gods, so the popular image goes, sit far off, throw lightning bolts, or send angels. What kind of god would get so close to his su

    based on 13 ratings
     | 24,662 views

    Almost everyone has a picture in their minds of what Jesus looks like... but almost no one visualizes Him the way He's shown in Revelation 5. Why does God paint us a portrait of a wounded lamb with 7 horns and 7 eyes?

    A preacher was showing a child a painting of Jesus. Trying to explain that we didn’t really know what Jesus looked like he said: "It's not really Jesus. It’s just an artist's conception of him." The child looked long and hard at the picture and said; "Well, it sure looks like him," ...read more

    What Is The Source Of Temptation?

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on Jul 26, 2023
     | 1,786 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 Great Pillars Of Society: Morality & Religion

     | 1,947 views

    There is something missing from our republic. It's something obvious, something vital. It brings light to the mind and thoughts of glory into action. Yet it's missing. It's gone somewhere; but where has it gone?

    "The great pillars of all government and of social life are virtue, morality, and religion. This is the armor... and this alone, that renders us invincible." -Patrick Henry, Letter to Archibald Blair, January 8 1799 There is something missing from our republic. It's something ...read more
